Spicy garlic tonkatsu ramen with spice level extra was pretty good, although I would call the spice level medium at most. The noodles were nice and springy and held the soup well. I did not find any ground pork in the soup. The waitress told me that they make the soup with ground pork. Maybe, but I doubt that ground pork dissolves completely. Probably, they forgot to put it in, but it was ok. Gyoza was also good.

Mala ramen is definitely the star here – and you can get it with just the numbing spice (“ma”) and not the fiery spice. Curry katsu was also good, but not as good as the ramen.

Very good ramen lunch. For $15, you get a tonkatsu ramen and a choice of sides. We picked gyoza and chicken karaage. The ramen was very good and the noodles were excellent but the broth was a bit salty. The gyoza (3) was good and crunchy but the chicken karasge was boneless and had a perfect crunch! That’s a winner! The service was outstanding as we had our high end bikes and said we would eat at one of the two outside tables but the staff told us to bring our bikes inside the restaurant and that it was not a problem!! Since it was very cold and windy, we were very very pleased at their hospitality!!

Must try: Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu. And the Spicy Garlic Crab is out of this world! I maybe exaggerating, but it’s really delicious
However, parking is scarce. The street is surrounded by lots of stores. Sometimes it takes 30mins just to find a parking space. It is worth it though

Incredible ramen with lots of flavor and broth options, and the cuts of Chashu pork are thick and tender. Staff is incredibly friendly and can serve you as quick as you like. It has a medium-sized, simple dining area – nothing fancy – but certainly comfortable. Lunch specials are a great deal. We had the spicy tonkatsu ramen and mala ramen and loved them both.
Also, this place has delicious bacon-wrapped mochi, which I ate too quickly to photograph…woops

Nice and cozy place in the sunset. Friendly and fast service. Both our Ramens were spicy as ordered, taste is good but little overpowering. Halfway, we were already full. Baked mussels had some weird creamy taste, would totally skip that.

Really good spicy mala, I ordered the mild and it was enough spiciness for me.
My husband ordered the vegetarian miso. He liked it. I liked mine best but if you are vegetarian you will be happy with the miso.
Friendly staff but expect a long wait if there is an event happening in the park since this is a typical SF restaurant with very little tables.

Their ramen is great! I tried the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu and I loved it! I had medium spicy and it was good. The spice level was pretty spicy but not too much that it wasn’t enjoyable to eat anymore. The broth was also slightly think which paired well with the semi firm noodles. It was chock full of toppings too which made the texture experience of the ramen very enjoyable.
This is the sort of ramen that i would love to eat on an especially cold day or a rainy day. Very comforting.
The price wasn’t too bad either. I feel it’s value for money.
I also tried the Gyoza. It was ok. The sauce was good and the cook of the gyoza skin made it crispy. I have to say, I’m not the biggest fan of the filling though. A bit mushy for my taste.
All in all, this place was pretty good! I’d recommend them for great tasting ramen

Stopped by for dinner when the restaurant just opened on a Friday night. We each ordered a bowl of ramen, Tonkotsu and Miso, along with a few side dishes for my toddler. The food came out fast…almost too fast because the ramen broth for both bowls tasted water down and the noodles were overcooked. It was as if they had a big pot of broth in the back and they mixed in water to dilute it down and serve. It was bland. The pork slices were overcooked and it was terrible bowls of ramen. Would not return.

We happily stumbled upon this place hiking in and around the park. The ramen is amazing, the rice is perfect, everything’s is over the top delicious.
You can taste thousands of years of culture in every bit.
The service is very friendly as well, they are super happy to see you. I can’t wait to come back and work my way all the way through the minu, top to bottom.
