Honestly fire and filling ramen! We came towards the beginning of the night on a Saturday and it was quiet (which was nice). Great portion of pork belly, I couldn't finish it all!

Nice in an antiseptic way for s place called Rural. Limited menu, but a nice relaxed spot between North Beach/Chinatown 1/2 way up the northeast side of Nob Hill. A nice spot to have a bowl of ramen, and a good place to catch up with someone that doesn't mind plastic menus and slurping

Cute little spot with great ramen! The broth was flavorful, portions were adequate, and prices were reasonable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a pleasant dining experience. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area

The ramen here is really mid. If you have to get a meal on this particular block then ok. But if you have options, most other ramen spots are better

You can’t force someone to tip more lol. Read the U.S. law on it. It’s optional.

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.

Spicy Miso is SPICY. Yummy. Even the kiddo loved it.
I want to start with two caveats. First is that I am a ramen snob. When I rate ramen restaurants, I'm comparing them to the best ramen I've had. And I've had a lot. The second is that this is not bad ramen. If you are in the area and you're looking for ramen, this will hit the spot, especially on a cool day.
That said, reading the reviews of the tonkotsu ramen, I can't help but conclude that the quality has declined over the years. The pork truly is delicious and was the most outstanding part of the ramen.
The broth was too thin and a bit bland. A good tonkotsu broth should have a rich mouth feel from the collagen from the simmering bones. This broth was more like a standard soup broth. It had a creamy appearance, but the texture and flavor weren't there.
The noodles were also just fine They were a touch overcooked; they had no chew to them. And because the broth was thin, the noodles tasted bland because they didn't get that thin coating of broth that I look for.
So all in all, I was happy with my experience because I was in the area on a cool day and was in the mood for ramen. But this is definitely not a place I would come out of my way for.

Was looking up ramen and we decided on this place. The noodles are my favorite part of this deliciousness soup! The coconut was perfect too. Will have to come back and try different ones. My friend who is vegan liked it too. Fast and friendly service too.

Food was ok. The other ramen restaurants around may outshine this spot.
