The Toughest Restaurant Reservations In America (And How to Get Them)
"SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco is a city full of great ramen spots and tasting menus, but Noodle In a Haystack is the only place in town that does both, with spectacular results. The 10-ish course meal ($185) inspired by ramen is a nonstop parade of hits. You’ll bite into 16-hour braised pork belly karaage with a toasted marshmallow-like texture, and a rotating ramen starring the chewiest noodles you’ll ever encounter. They’re completely booked through the end of 2023, so you’ll need to stay tuned to see when the next reservation batch drops. Since they only have 12 seats per night, you’ll likely improve your odds by trying to go solo. " - anne cruz
