Katsuo + Kombu

The 17 Best Restaurants In NoPa - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"If you're in NoPa when a noodle craving hits and you want to be in and out before the fog rolls in, here's excellent news: Katsuo + Kombu fits the bill. Going to this snug noodle shop is a comforting experience and one that involves diving into the city’s finest Fukuoka-style udon. Stroll up to the counter and choose anything from their simple menu of just eight bowls. The housemade noodles are thinner and chewier than other noodles around the city, and when combined with rich dashi broth (made of katsuobushi and wild kombu), you’ve got a winning combination. Go for the spicy tan tan dry noodles with juicy kurobuta pork or the incredible Fukuoka signature with the massive, crispy burdock root tempura on top." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
