"Iza Ramen in Lower Haight is one of the most dependable ramen spots around. It’s consistent, easy to walk into, and so low-key that you won’t have to use an outside voice to talk with the person across the table. There are exactly three options on the menu: house ramen with a “special” broth blend of pork, chicken, bonito, and vegetables, dipping ramen, and vegetarian miso—funnel soup into your mouth while you watch a game on one of the TVs. We like this place for last-minute dates and ramen dinners that soothe an existential crisis. " - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
