“Came here on a Thursday night for dinner and service was a bit slow. They may have been understaffed. Other than that, I thought the food I got was good! I ordered the Chirashi bowl which came with miso soup. The Chirashi bowl came with thick pieces of sashimi and a bed of rice underneath. It's not the freshest pieces of sushi, but this place is a solid spot!“
“This place was amazing! Let me tell you the service here was awesome! I've never been to a restaurant where they are consistently checking on you to make sure everything is good. I loved everything I had except the lion king roll. And I'm not putting down their roll because it was very delicious, I just really can't eat lion king rolls from anywhere else but a secret spot in san leandro. Aside from that everything was awesome. Also, I did kind of think it was interesting how the miso soup was just the broth and nothing else.. but it was good flavor.“
“My party of four when on 11/25/23 for dinner and got seated quickly as it was half empty. We ordered Super Spider Roll, Rainbow Roll, Hokaido Scallop Ramen, two orders of Hamachi Nigiri, and the 28 pc chef choice sashimi. The salmon sashimi was really smooth. All the other dishes were alright.“
“Mensho Tokyo SF offers a unique experience in the heart of San Francisco, elevating the classic ramen to an exquisite level. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a minimalist yet warm space, where the focus is clearly on the culinary art of ramen making.The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Tori Paitan ramen. The broth is rich and creamy, a result of meticulous simmering that draws out the deep flavors of chicken bones. It’s silky yet intensely flavorful, serving as the perfect base for the perfectly cooked, springy noodles.Mensho also excels in its vegetarian offerings, particularly the Tomato ramen, which presents a novel twist on traditional flavors with a broth that’s both tangy and savory, topped with a generous slice of cheese that melts into the hot soup.The attention to detail extends to their service, which is both efficient and courteous, making the dining experience seamless from start to finish.In conclusion, Mensho Tokyo SF is a must-visit for both ramen enthusiasts and novices alike, offering a thoughtful blend of traditional techniques and innovative flavors that push the boundaries of this beloved dish.“
“It is challenging for me to describe how much passion and effort they put into the quality of their food. When I first arrived outside the restaurant, everyone patiently waited for the door to open on the dot. When the door opens, we are warmly greeted inside and check in promptly. There was a space on the right side to hang our coats and store our umbrellas since the rain was torrential. When I first sat down, I noticed how vast and spacious the restaurant was, with a beautiful large countertop leading to an open kitchen. The first course came, and despite how assuming it looked, that single bite packed such a large amount of flavor that I knew it was going to be a lovely evening. The subsequent dishes that followed were also not what it seemed, but the flavor did not clash for me. I had plenty of sake pairing during the meal that you never thought would work with that dish, but the pairing was pretty on point. I had lots of new sake I had never drunk before, and I had taken plenty of photos of each bottle so I could find it later when I wanted to.The owners are amiable when conversing with everyone and answering questions on the dish in particular or if they have any recommendations on another restaurant they like. It is not an experience I can elaborate on in detail, but rather, you have to experience it to know how different it is from all the restaurants I have experienced in the Bay Area. I will return to try their dishes when they rotate them again for the spring time.“
“came for happy hour, if you’re looking for don or ramen they have a lot to choose from. we were looking at smaller plates, everything was super delicious and fresh. calamari wasn’t overcooked, the scallops were so well dressed with a vinaigrette and fresh micro greens, pesto udon was a bit strong and greasy so i’d skip next time, and the kabocha croquette was sweet and battered fried.“
“Went here when we were desperately craving ramen!! Cute spot. We loved the calamari, it was great. Was a bit difficult to get water and ramen was not amazing. Expected to be blown away for the price. Spent $80 (2 peopl) with no beverages besides water and one app.“
“its pretty good in portion, their nigiri is really good and good size for their fish portion, their baked or fried tuna rolls was delicious, their salad is good..i had their lunch bento they gave me two portions of the salmon which was pretty good ... its a clean place ..dont be picky about the price because its its good here ... i tried all their nigiri and the size of the fish is good.“
“Loved our dinner at Nute’s! The gyoza appetizer was incredible, and all the noodle dishes were delicious. The waiter was fast, attentive, and honestly impressive to watch given he was the only waiter. We felt like we were back in Japan with the small tables, paper lanterns, and cozy vibe. Only thing to know is the wait was quite long due to the limited seating- next time we’ll put our name on their list (paper, not yelp) and then get a drink somewhere. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other noodles!“
“We were craving ramen before seeing our movie (directly next door). We found Yokohama lekei Ramen and since we were running a bit late anyways, we decided to try it. We are very lucky we did! The spicy miso ramen was a very large portion, the broth was rich and tasty, and the pork cha-su was phenomenal. The tantanmen ramen was equally delicious, just don't be overzealous on adding spice. We asked for it hot as we are typically great with spice and wow was it spicy! Overall fantastic experience, and it's the perfect spot and location to catch before your movie!“
