The 14 Best Restaurants In Japantown - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The SF-based chain (with eight more locations across the country) nails their Hakata-style ramen. So it’s not hard to see why this casual spot attracts hordes of noodle soup enthusiasts nightly. The rich, creamy broth hits you like the intensely porky flavor bomb it is. The thin noodles are bouncy perfection every time, and the chashu pork belly almost dissolves in your mouth, it's so tender. We’ll come up with any excuse to get here with friends who don’t mind waiting an hour in line to get this flawless ramen." - julia chen 1, lani conway
