Mmm, pork belly. Tontontaksu Ramen is awesome, spicy or plain. They also serve Sushi which is great. Good restaurant and very nice service. Gave us a good lead on the R2 unit we're looking for too.

I prefer the standard tonkotsu to the spicy garlic version; no reason to mess up the deep rich flavor. Make sure to add an egg (perfectly cooked!) and of course, those braised pork belly chunks.

Most perfectly cooked ramen egg ever. I'm a whimp when it comes to spiciness so I will order the mild spicy garlic tonkatsu broth next time. They give you a big portion of the karaage appetizer.

My favorite Ramen spot. Get the spicy pork tonkatsu ramen with extra egg and extra pork belly. Expect a wait,it’s well worth it.

First time trying Saiwaii sushi and I love it. It just melts in your mouth and the spiciness is just right. Must try!
Mark AkiatenApril 17, 2018
Everything is good here. Come for lunch and have a special. You could beat it if you were a Japanese chef but that's the only way
Joe NazzalSeptember 8, 2017
Had the spicy garlic tonkatsu. Average ramen, decent portion. Really good lunch special. 6 piece roll and bowl of ramen for $11. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it. However they play some great music!

The pork tonkatsu with pork belly is awesome! Try the spicy soft shell crab too!

Hands down the best ramen in the city. Get the tonkatsu ramen with extra pork belly. You'll be happy you did.

I go here for the Tonkotsu w/pork belly or sushi combo. Best ramen around, decent sushi if you're in the mood for that instead.

Close to the golden gate park. Though a little small, it's cozy and food there is great. Recommend the spicy ramen there.
Brandon M.May 18, 2016
Love the garlic tonkotsu. If you can get here for lunch you get ramen + sushi for $11!

Spicy Garlic Tonkatsu was outstanding! Add an Egg!
Sam SeelyMarch 27, 2013
The garlic tonkotsu bowl is the best ramen I've had in the city. Great spicy broth. Great pork. Will be back soon.
Ashley MowreyMarch 12, 2015
Mild spicy means super spicy. Everything else about the ramen was... good, not the I'll-go-to-outer sunset good though. Dat egg doh...
Long Duk DongSeptember 22, 2014
Spicy tonkatsu ramen with pork belly oh and more pork belly. Is awesome. My favorite.
Rachael ColeMarch 20, 2018
Tonkastu Ramen was delicious. Got the lunch special with a 6pc sushi roll and it was great.

if they have the chicken broth ramen special i highly recommend you get it--it's like a chicken tonkotsu, rich and concentrated.

Get the pork tonkotsu ramen with extra pork belly and an extra egg.

Try the Chicken Karaage - #kvpinmybelly: Yummy fried chicken. Tasty starter before #Ramen good times.
Liz 🦎March 2, 2014
Skip the gyoza and get the karaage! So good! Ask for some mayo to dip and you'll be in heaven!
Josh AdamsJuly 5, 2014
Tonkotsu or bust. Service is wonderful. Pregame @ Durty Nelly's after getting your name on the wait list.
takishido nekoAugust 10, 2014
Best ramen in the city. They perfected the softboiled tea egg.
Tobias SchmidtMarch 26, 2017
The noodles were just about the only thing that didn't disappoint with the spicy garlic tonkotsu: A broth that was spicy but otherwise just boring, overcooked eggs and tough chashu.

Average ramen place, meats used for soups aren’t always fresh (smell weird). Appetizers-the deep fried stuff- is ok as are the vegetarian soups. Customer service was so so
Vincent TangOctober 10, 2018
Great filling lunch deals on the weekdays.

Garlic miso ramen is amazing!
Sherry LiMarch 18, 2015
Pretty good pork ramen. Beef tongue app is good too.
Amber YuDecember 28, 2014
Food quality is not consistent here. Sometimes the ramen is good. Had a few instances where the meat was old. Avoid everything on the menu unless it's spicy pork ramen.
Valerie ChuongFebruary 14, 2014
Spicy garlic tonkatsu is amazing!
VansiJuly 24, 2016
The cha shu isn't very good, the noodles are ok and the spicy garlic tonkatsu broth is good.

Ramen on a foggy night is the best. Usually a short wait.

The spicy garlic tonkatsu ramen with add-on egg and corn is mighty scrumptious.

The spicy garlic miso ramen is tasty, but get it if you can handle the heat.

Spicy garlic miso ramen with egg...

Spicy garlic tonkatsu. Add pork belly. It's spectacular. Nap for dessert.

I think they have a new cook. Extra spicy now means no flavor and so much spice it will burn a hole in your stomach.
Hillary LindemanJanuary 30, 2015
Good ramen, not the best I've had in SF
John NguyenJanuary 29, 2012
First time ordering the chicken ramen. Definitely try their lunch combo.

The garlic is a fantastic condiment
