📝 The Full Story
This is the best ramen in town—rich, creamy broth, and it's just perfectly cooked. You will have to make a line, and of course, it's in the Tenderloin, so some people get a little bit worried about it, but trust me, totally worth it. And they have also a branch in Tokyo. I think the one in San Francisco was even first, not sure about that, but good to consider it. The tori paitan (chicken-based) ramen draws hour-long lines for good reason. The broth is simmered for hours to achieve that rich, creamy consistency that coats every noodle perfectly. The noodles are cooked to perfection, and the whole bowl comes together in harmony. Their lamb ramen and vegan options are equally impressive, showing versatility beyond the classic. Despite the location, the quality of the ramen makes the visit completely worthwhile.
