Really good ramen. We got served in only 5 minutes and the sake was also really good, I recommend!

New favorite ramen spot! We loved the signature soy sauce tori paitan - very rich soy sauce and black garlic base, and the slow braised chicken leg was so tender. My personal fav was the shio paitan - what’s better than a rare-find bowl of rich creamy chicken broth on a rainy evening! Plus very efficient service.

It's delicious, but the flavor is so strong that if you ask me if I want to go there again, I'll say... The price is right in the middle of science fiction, so even if it can't be helped, it's way too expensive. For that reason, it doesn't have an impressive taste, it's just average.

Nojo Ramen is a local gem, with creamy chicken soup to die for that everyone at work agrees is delicious. Its rich flavor is truly a superb cup that is packed with the flavor of chicken. The noodles are firm and go well with the soup. The chicken fillets in particular are tender, juicy, and delicious. The atmosphere inside the store is cozy and the staff is very friendly. A system for ordering by scanning a QR code. This is the perfect restaurant for lunch or dinner with work colleagues. Once you visit, you will definitely become a fan of Nojo Ramen!

You order by scanning a QR code. I don't like that you have to put in a tip even before you get your food. Ambience is great: feels cozy and communal at the same time. The food was very tasty and the broth felt thick, particularly for the veggie ramen. A great option if you are in the area (very close to SF JAZZ).

I think this is the best ramen I've had in San Francisco, and I've had a lot of ramen! The broth was perfect, the noodles texture just perfect. Service was super speedy too. I have no complaints and can't wait to return until I've tried everything on the menu. Here is a photo of the Chicken Paitan Ramen. It's worth it!

Great ramen spot! The spicy chicken ramen is exceptional. They also have a range of good small plates to share. Japanese beer is available, along with a rotating tap from Original Pattern.

Super tasty chicken ramen and others. Get there early before they run out of chicken legs ? other menu items are also very tasty. Can get very busy so check in online before arrival. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Heard of this place and decided to try it out :) the chicken ramen is super nice and unique too! The environment is okay and the speed is fast. The broth is very creamy but not heavy!

Great ramen, super rich and thick broth with plenty of onions (maybe a bit too much). The noodles are toothsome. The chicken leg is tasty albeit a bit hard to eat. The surprise hit is the gyoza; the crispiest skin on a dumpling I’ve ever had.The half and half fries were alright. Try to snag a seat inside though, the ones at the door get a gust of wind every time someone walks in.

Quick stop before heading to the War Memorial Opera House for a show, and we were thoroughly pleased with the overall dining experience.Tried the chicken paitan and spicy miso ramen with calamari to kick off our meal. The calamari was crisp and fresh, a perfect starter for two. The chicken ramen options were fantastic, with juicy chicken leg.
