sadly, i forgot to get a picture, but quite simply, this is the best ramen in the bay area. a tiny tiny space that seats no more than 20 and a line out the door any time of the day, and it’s totally worth it. forget everything you know about ramen based on the freeze dried stuff. this is the real deal. a meal costs about $8 and the bowls are so enormous that i could swear that they get bigger every time i go there. just don’t take a party larger than 4. or hope to eat anything vegetarian. or expect ambiance or non-weak japanese beer. just go for the ramen. bonus points for being open late enough to get a bite post-show (and being located directly across the street from the Geary theatre).
