    We went there at lunchtime- no waiting as we went there early enough. We ordered 3 ramen noodle, 2 for there and 1 to go. I am a noodle lover and so was my co worker. But, the ramen noodle was just too salty. I had to stop eating after a few bites. Took the noodles home and added a little hot water to it to help dilute the salt! Was so disappointed

    Ordered through Neon

    During that period from early 2020 till about two plus years later, I acquired the valuable knowledge of reheating foods. A big part of this is to the credit of a business named Pastel which evolved to become Neon. Having a good history with most noodles that I've bought, I decided to order the House pork ramen (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=72iXyoJaxGrhkty7DF9oTw). original packaging (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=LgVq8b8DhqHa9wHx6pVztA). It was packed efficiently and nicely (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KdmB7Hvc6obGwX9AeFJ4cg) and the reheating instructions (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=e7wguIZaCBANjQ91DN61Dg) were simple and clear. I chose the stove top reheating and worked as explained. I liked the depth of the broth and the noodles had a nice chew likely due to the use of a lower heat. It was a decent portion, perfect for my dinner. You can add a nori leaf or poach or steam an egg to supplement this. Sadly, I steamed my egg too long so the yolk was on the harder side when I combined it with this. Thank you, Ramenwell, for making a quality product and I will study your menu the next time my friend decides to order from Neon. My friend lives a couple blocks away so perhaps I'll dine there instead.

    Food was good!! The only reason why I wouldn't go again is cause the parking sucks! I will most definitely curbside pickup!!

    Signature Pork Ramen

    Great service and broth is thick and flavorful. Ordered it level 2 spicy and it was perfect. Nice thick piece of pork.

    Robert W.

    Put me in a trash can and force feed me this ramen for 12 hours straight and I will be as happy as a clam. This is by far the best ramen in the city if not the entire world. The broth is crazy, that pork is crazy, everything about this is just perfect. I always get the half spice because the normal spice is too spicy. Be warned because you will never enjoy any other ramen spot for the rest of your life.

    My visit took place last Sunday, heard great things about this place, but probably won't come again any time soon. I showed up as a party of 2 with no reservations around 6pm, and was seated quickly. There were many tables available, but the host sat us at the worst table available, which was arm's length with guests on both sides. When we sat down, the other guests and I exchanged glances. My bad, I should've spoke up and requested a different table since there were plenty available (maybe those were reserved, who knows since I didn't speak up). I opted for the Mushroom Lover Ramen and thought the broth was a bit too salty for my liking. Apparently the level 6 spicy wasn't spicy at all (can't confirm since I didn't have a taste). Surprised that the katsu chicken was pretty tasty, had the right crisp and flavor. Finished dinner with the taro soft serve, which was just ok, melted rather quickly. Service was mediocre at best, none of the staff we encountered seem like they wanted to be there. Located within the heart of the Mission with metered street parking or utilize BART, which is a quick walk away. #13/2025

    Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand. Good: - The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl - The portion size was good - I was very full by the end - A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit Bad: - The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.

    Mushroom Lover Ramen with Side Pork Chashu
    Helen L.

    3.5 stars The pork was the best part of the meal. The ramen soup to me was just a bit salty but that is fairly common when getting ramen. I just have a lower threshold for salty food. I tried the pork tonkotsu and my husband got the mushroom lover and ordered chashu to go with it. It was a decent bowl of ramen.

    Jason A.

    This place was highly recommended to me by a friend. I ordered the pork tonkatsu with level 4 spicy and extra corn. The spice level was pretty mild. The broth was rich and savory, but slightly too salty to my taste. I'd love to try the spiciest level next time!

    Very yummy food, came out hot and fast. Atmosphere was nice and clean. Cute, clean bathroom. Little expensive though.

    Cute little ramen restaurant tucked away on 18th. We love a little date night here, the wait is not too long but they do offer reservations. They offer bar seating and it gets you in pretty quickly. Ramen broth is rich but delicious nonetheless. Service is great too! Oh and they also have soft serve dole whip or taro flavor!!

    Dumplings
    Julia M.

    Absolutely delicious. The best pork belly I've ever had. The ramen and dumplings were sooo flavorful and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. They have a nice bar area and more tables in the back. We were seated quickly!

    Mushroom Lover Ramen
    Manisha M.

    Ramen hits so great on a cold SF day, but I ended up going on one of the warmest days of the year and it still was amazing!! I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. They allowed me to be seated early while I waited for my friend. We both ordered a vegetarian Mushroom Ramen (spice level 5) and it was perfect! The broth tasted amazing and the variety of mushrooms with the corn made this one of the best vegetarian ramens that I've tried! The quantity was perfect and we enjoyed our meals immensely.

    Yes there's outdoor seating.

    Can the vegan ramen be made gluten free?

    Yes. For right now let us know in advance. At the moment we braise the mushrooms with soy sauce so we would have to alter it. I am working with my kitchen staff to make this something more readily available while making sure the flavor is on…

We also tried several of the larger plates, and there was a good variety for everyone at the table to find something they liked. One funny detail was the music - it felt completely random, almost like someone just put their liked songs on shuffle. The mix was all over the place, but honestly it added to the casual, quirky vibe. Service was great, especially considering we had such a large party. Everything came out at a steady pace, and the staff made the birthday celebration feel easy and enjoyable.

They won't let you place a new order until your previous one has been delivered, which honestly is a smart system and helps with pacing so you don't over order right out of the gate.

This most recent time my girlfriend was craving ramen but I wasn't so I got creative. I love their black pepper chicken, so I got that and asked for a side of rice. On top of that we got the ribeye skewers and their new snow crab hand roll. The sauce for the black pepper chicken was really really tasty. That sauce over the rice, was so comforting. The ribeye wasn't super tender but tasty. The snow crab hand roll came with so much snow crab, I felt like it's one of the few hand rolls I've had that was filling. If you come for happy hour, they have good deals on ramen. I think like $13ish, which is a great deal.

The broth had a great flavor, and the pork chashu was possibly the best I've ever had(!) as it was soooo tender and flavorful, and not very fatty. I did think the cauliflower left room to be desired, and kinda took away from the ramen overall.

Inside it's a cute and intimate restaurant with a long bar and a few tables. I've been coming to this place over the years and looks like they recently expanded by taking over the next door. Now you can enter to an expanded area through a wall that didn't exist previously to another two bar areas. This place is probably best for date nights and couples rather than large parties. Good variety of izakaya choices including chicken thighs, chicken parts, pork belly, scallops, and some beef options. I found the izakaya solid but not outstanding. The skewers are a little too saucy for my taste which I prefer more the traditional simple salt which you find in Japan. Also, I wish they had more charcoal flavor to the izakayas. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken skin gyoza which uses chicken skin as wrappers. It's an interesting twist to your traditional gyozas. The fried oysters were good, juicy, and crunchy. They also have a very good selection of sakes and drinks.
