The beef broth is lighter and tasty but it lacks certain complexity. However, people watching is fun if you sit at the window seats.

This place is amazing. The ramen quality is very consistent here. But the curry rice plate is okay. This is a true gem amongst the many mediocre ramen shops in the bay area. This is a place I'm willing to drive to just for ramen even if it is in the city.

This is one of the best ramen I have ever had! The portion size is perfect, the broth is rich without being too heavy, and the added garlic oil enhances the flavor.

I ate here late Saturday without a reservation and got seated pretty quickly although the restaurant is small and there aren't many seats available. I wanted to try beef ramen cuz I've never had it before.

We ordered the beef karaage and the beef ramen and my friend got the spicy beef with the bone marrow. Everything tasted excellent, the beef was very tender and cooked very well. The beef karaage was surprisingly good, I would order it again for sure.

The service was a little slow at times cuz the waitresses are very busy despite the small space so you'll have to flag them down yourself.

The price was pretty good, affordable for sf, and I would definitely come back! Beef ramen is super unique.

Cozy spot with asian fusion vibes that scratches the itch for a comforting bowl of soup noodles but is ultimately a bit underwhelming.

The paitan lacked complexity/beefiness and the lean filet topping felt bland and didn't notably improve the bowl. The noodles were bouncy but maybe not the ideal type for holding onto the rich broth. The tempura mushrooms were perfectly battered and fried but incredibly salty (would be great on udon or with a beer though). The filet chunks on the gyudon also seemed a bit dry - the dish could benefit from a richer cut of beef or maybe a different preparation of the meat. Lastly...I gotta note that the "onsen egg" is just a lightly-marinated soft-boiled egg, not actually a custardy onsen egg. Would be curious to try some of the oxtail/tomato-y dishes at the other location, but this was just ok to me.

This place was really good, fast, and extraordinarily priced well. Major kudos to this team for putting together something novel, tasty, and affordable. I’d definitely suggest adding this place to your ramen rotation.

Ramen noodles were stuck together. Broth was too flavorful. Otherwise service was okay!
