Being a lover or ramen and trying new foods, after looking up places online and their reviews, Wakaru was definitely a must try. The wait was not long at all for a table as I didn’t called ahead to make reservations. Order the kimchi cheese fries to start along w/ a Sukiyaki beef bowl the the
Ramen. I believe it was the tonkotsu ramen dx but can’t recall. All the food tasted delicious, fries were crispy. Next time I’m in town I’ll be coming back to try more food here. Can’t forget the bottle of Yuzu, sucks they don’t sell it back at my home town. Such a refreshing soda

It’s not a bad place – but it definitely wasn’t everything I was hoping for it to be. First off, I had my place in the waitlist (which is all by pen and paper) pushed after another party simply walked in and took our table, and the wait staff acted as if we hadn’t already been waiting 30 minutes and it didn’t just happen in front of us. It simply doesn’t feel like an inviting environment. The food is pricey, and just about what you can expect. Not a bad place to get ramen, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth that the ramen didn’t make up for. It’s not the worst choice out there, but there’s a lot of other good places in Japantown to go to.

Nice ramen spot. Food and service was really good! I had the Black Garlic Deluxe and my wife got the Spicy Tantan Deluxe. Huge portions. Only thing I didn’t like was paying the bill. They stand there next to you with a machine and review the bill with you. Then when you go to pay the lowest tipping option is 18% AND it’s calculated with the SF Mandate included. Kinda shady in that regard. Other than that, great place for a nice bowl of ramen!

Have you ever had a room temperature ramen broth? Have you had stale, chewy corn?

I am trying to understand how that’s possible. I was the only person in the restaurant when they opened at 11:30 on a Saturday – did they serve me last night’s leftovers?

Last time coming here was in 2015. Had great memories here. Just thought we would revisit. Seems like the restaurant has changed… in many ways. Menu has completely changed. Oh well. Give it a try anyways.

Restaurant had two tables when we arrived at their opening at 11:30am. First impression, the server did not want to be there. He wasn’t rude or anything, but he was not pleasant to be around. Food was ok. By the time we were finished eating, there were no more customers around.

Sadly, I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I got the black garlic tonkatsu deluxe. It was delicious, I just wished that they had hot chili oil. We also ordered the appetizers and they were good. I like the geso fries alot. There was 1 server only when we came in and he was bussing his tables as well. There were many customers that came in, but they would leave due to the waiting and no service right away. That wasn’t a problem to us.

Really nice Ramen place minus the large waiting time! While we had gone to SF Japantown to eat at a different locale, most of the “famous” ramen bars were full. Luckily we found this one and boy weren’t disappointed at all! Plus it’s easy on the wallet as well

Indoor dining tonight 3/26/2021. This a Japanese owned ramen restaurant. I had their black garlic tonkotsu ramen $15, geso (squid) fry $7, red rice beer $5, yuki white peach $5. Having ate over hundreds of bowls of ramen throughout my years in Japan, I can tell their ramen is authentic. The flavors are fantastic and when I closed my eyes, it brought back memories of when I ate at ramen parlors in Tokyo. This place is better though as I was the only person dining indoors. There’s no rush feeling you get when there’s a line outside waiting. Here are the reasons why I absolutely love their ramen:

– 味付け玉子 ramen egg soft boiled and is marinated. Perfect jelly on the inside
– broth is heavy and have been cooked for hours
– great garlic flavor
– perfectly soft chashu
– fresh noodles

My bill was $42 with tax and tip. Service here was excellent. Great job everyone at Waraku, especially the chef. My dinner was perfect.

Slow service but great ramen! Worth it! Tonkatsu Broth had a nice creamy texture. Be sure to add the fresh garlic. (Ask for the garlic smasher if needed)

Update tried the black black ramen! (No need for additional fresh garlic in this one.) It’s a winner! I would highly recommend. My cousin also tried the tsukemen.

Update: wife got the roasted garlic ramen. Garlic was a little on the burnt side. She preferred the regular tonkatsu as well.

Heard about this new ramen place in SF that does what is called “direct to customer”. Ordered through Doordash and it was easy to show up to the reception area of the test kitchen and pick up my food. The black garlic tonkutsu ramen was very tasty and flavorful and worth every penny of the $12.95!
