My fiancé and I visited Rural Ramen on New Year’s Day while spending a couple of days in San Francisco, and it was a highlight of our trip. The ramen was absolutely delicious—while we’re no experts, this was hands down the best tonkotsu ramen we’ve ever had. The ambience was warm and pleasant, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We also tried the flavored nigiri in strawberry and pineapple, which were a fun and tasty surprise, along with the shrimp tempura, which was perfectly cooked. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this spot!

Great ramen, quick service and chill jazz music. I’ve been on a mission to hit all of SFs ramen places and this one is very good. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was creamy, rich, and it had a huge portion of meat (more than any other ramen place I’ve been to) the slices were thick and tender. The noodles are flavorful and had the perfect texture. I also ordered the geso karage, which was pretty decent but I think a bit overcooked (more chewiness than I’d like). Would definitely come again.

First time here with my wife and she has never had Japanese cuisine and she loved it. The ambient is calm and it’s definitely a vibe. The waiter is very nice and welcoming.

Lovely spot, tasty ramen, super fast and friendly service. The menu is short — which is always a good sign!

Totally empty on a Tuesday afternoon at lunch time, but that is not a bad thing. The food is pretty average fare, again not a bad thing. The curry with chicken and rice is pretty good. If you stop by, be sure to also stop on at the cable car museum a block over.

This was a great place to get some ramen. The mood inside is really sweet. They have a soft purple lights on that really help set a mood. The green tea was very good. My sister and I both loved it. The ramen was hot, filling, and very tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed the notes of ginger in my Tonkotsu ramen. The pork belly tasted like it was seasoned and seared on a grill and only added more flavor to the ramen. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.
