  This is a ramen chain and they are in multiple location in San Francisco and they open until very late and some location at 3am. Eventhough we visited Chinatown often, I never pay attention as it is considered ou the outside of Chinatown. We visited this one when we tried to find dinner place around China town. We are on the way back and saw this and decided to give it a try. The exterior and interior were nicely decorated you will be greeted with rhe traditional drum when you got your table. There are plenty item to choose from the menu , from appetizers, ramen, bento combination and alcohol drink. We chose the hinodeya ramen and gyu don with mini ramen. For mini ramen we chose spicy miso. Our order was ready pretty quickly. It was still hot. The ramen noodle is the thick and chewy which I love. The soup for house ramen hinodeya was yummy and umami eventhough a bit salty. The topping is good. I love the charsiu and the bamboo shoot doesn't smell. If you love garlic, you must add the fried garli which is available on the table beside the red chili powder. The spicy miso ramen soup is also yummy. I also love the gyu-don. It is yummy. The ticd though , the portion is a bit a lot for us. We ended up only finished less than half of the rice. The price is reasonable and somecare quite high. It was a nice late dinner.

  Wonderful experience with authentic ramen. I got the spicy miso and it was DELICIOUS. Very clean and well decorated environment. Was comfortable and service was prompt, accurate, and kind without being excessive. Appreciate Paloma for her help! Would definitely come back.

  I travel for work and every time I come to San Francisco I come here. The ramen here is so unique and flavorful truly one of a kind! The staff are always friendly and welcoming which is hard to find nowadays. Paloma is always my server and she’s amazing. If you get a chance to sit in her section do it!

  Really enjoyed the spicy ramen here. The broth is rich, slightly creamy with a nice kick, not too overwhelming but enough to warm you up. Noodles have great texture, and the toppings are fresh and well-balanced. Service was friendly and fast, and the overall vibe is cozy and comfortable. Would definitely come back if I’m craving ramen in SF.

  Overall the place was great. Came in and staff welcomed me. Served me quickly. I think my time there was around 20mminutes to get seated, eat, and pay. I order the House Ramen it was great! The only problem was that it had a strong taste of dashida. As much as I love my dashida tofu soup I felt like the both had not profile because of the dashida. I overpowered all the flavor and made it taste kinda flat. The chashu was delicious and I wish I had ordered an extra side of it. Besides the soup I wish the egg had been marinated a little longer. Tasted diluted like it has a 3rd round marinate or the marinate had been diluted too much. Will def come back to check out the other ramens
