5 /5 SFMasterP: I’ve heard about this place for a while and finally had the unexpected opportunity on Christmas Eve. A friend and I decided to meet at Japantown for dinner. We walked around and I remembered this place. We decided to eat here. We didn’t even have to wait 5 mins and we were called to our table! Our waitress was SO nice! She was above & beyond! Gave us recommendations and answered our questions; and staff was so attentive!
I ordered the vegan creamy broth ramen. It was good; however, I liked Hinodeya’s better as theirs was more creamy and I liked the taste better. Marufuku’s was still good though.
My friend had the Hankata Tonkatsu DX (The DX just means it has extra toppings). Apparently, this is one of the popular dishes. He said it was really good. We both finished our ramen so highly recommend.
We ordered the chicken Karaage as well. I have to say this was SO good!!! For those wondering, I know I ordered the vegan ramen but it’s because I don’t eat that much meat (obviously not 100% vegan or vegetarian).
Street parking can be tough but you if you’re lucky, you can find free residential parking or metered parking. Otherwise, there is an underground paid parking garage. If you take public transportation, the 38-Geary or 22-Fillmore (you’ll have to walk a few blocks, not bad as there’s plenty of shops & restaurants along the way).
I highly recommend this place!
