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.
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.
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.
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.
