Went here for lunch right as they opened. Absolutely amazing for counter serve ramen. It comes in a plastic bowl and you have to eat it with a tiny plastic spoon, but it’s like 90-95% as tasty as the full Mensho restaurants in SF and Oakland.

If you want lamb in your ramen like me, I recommend getting one of the lamb varieties, rather than adding lamb to the regular ramen as I did (my mistake, can’t fault the store for this). It kind of overpowers the other flavors, but was still amazing.

I wish you could get beer or sake here, but for lunch ramen, this place can’t be beaten.

Amazing ramen restaurant from the famed Mensho brand from Japan. Hiding at the back of The Market food hall. Really worth a visit!

No frills ramen spot located behind a supermarket. Almost food court like. If you want to skip the line up at the other Mensho location, test your luck here.

The ramen was perfectly done! Noodles al dente, broth rich and packed with flavor. We tried spicy level 3 and it was definitely tolerable, not overly spicy.

Plenty of seating available, you can watch sports on the big tv screens. Bar available right beside the ramen stand.

Ummmm… YES PLEASE This place blew my hair back baby! The ramen is incredibly well made. It’s a bit pricey with the add ons but who gives a rip? If you love ramen, I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. Great broth, great noodles, delicious add ons, and even the Japanese lemon soda was tasty! I’ll definitely be back for more!

This ramen location is inside The Market/collection of food spots. Plenty of tables/seating inside. I got the GKO–very strong presentation and the taste/texture was good. They also have vegan options. Parking can be tough. I recommend this spot if you’re in the area

Impressive counter-serve ramen — taste authentic, mochi-wheat noodles well-cooked and chewy.

Spicy Ramen X — hearty broth with a slight trace of Sichuan peppercorn, accompanied with all the standard fixings.

A pleasant surprise and excellent choice when on Market.

Good ramen. The broths are extremely rich, so you’ll need water or something else to wash it down. Service was fast. Just order via qr or the terminal and wait for your number to be called.

Wow. Unbelievably good ramen. Had the vegan creamy miso, medium spicy with an egg and it was amazing! My friend got the g.k.o and tried the vegan miso and said that the vegan miso was better. I can’t say one way or the other but this was the best ramen I’ve had in sf. The chef was so kind too you can tell this is a small team that takes a lot of pride in the food they make.

FYI They only have one vegan/vegetarian option on the menu (The Google maps menu is inaccurate / out of date)

I have been wanting noodles for awhile, so I stopped by Jikasei Mensho to get some ramen.

I hadn’t been here in a long time so I was surprised to see abura soba on the menu. It’s a soupless ramen, which was perfect for me. I do like their broths, but I’m not really a soup person. Though, I did order a side of chicken broth because it’s been cold here in the city lately.

They no longer have those sheets of paper to customize your order. There’s one kiosk to place your order and pay through Square. Unfortunately, there’s no other place to look at the menu other than the kiosk, but they don’t have an extensive menu anyway.

The abura soba was delicious! It is very rich with pork fat and sesame oil. It has a lot of umami flavor. The chili vinegar you get on the side adds a low heat and acidity that’s needed to cut the fat. Though, I could’ve used more acidity. The noodles chewy and had a good bite. It’s topped with seaweed, chashu pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, and one fish cake.

And it’s a big portion! I saved half for dinner and added an egg, adding to its richness. I should’ve tried it with mirin since I needed more acidity, but perhaps a rice wine vinegar would’ve been better (which I don’t have in my kitchen).

As for the chicken broth, it was very comforting with loads of green onions. I’m not big on green onions, but they added a lot of flavor to the broth instead of salt.

The Market is struggling a bit, a shell of its former glory days. Because there aren’t as many dining options as before, there’s plenty of seating. It’s kinda dark, though it was cloudy today but I don’t think that area gets a lot of natural light due to the height of the buildings. Plus, the music was too loud (or maybe I’m just getting old). Jikasei Mensho has its own music, or at least it sounded like it but The Market’s speakers overpowered it. I think calmer, ambient music would’ve matched the vibe, but they can’t help that they’re located in a grocery store.

I’m glad Jikasei Mensho is still here. Their sister restaurant on Geary is only open for dinner with a very long wait. Jikasei Mensho is a good lunch option if you’ve always wanted to try their ramen without waiting for at least an hour.
