Jikasei Mensho - San Francisc

The menu online does not match the menu at the kiosk. There are several ramens on the online menu, but only two ramens with broth at their kiosk. Disappointing. The rest of the offerings at the kiosk are dry ramens without any broth. They call soba “abura soba” which is just the same ramen noodles as their broth based ramen. It is not buckwheat soba.Service is basic. Not friendly nor unfriendly.

Came here and ordered the spicy ramen during my lunch break. This place is located inside the marketplace, and there is a decent amount of seating. I ordered from a kiosk, and there was no one at the counter until someone brought out bowls for customers. All dine-in and take-out orders are served in a thin plastic bowl, which was scalding hot to the touch when I was carrying it to my seat.The ramen was fresh and chewy and the chashu was tender, however it was not worth the price point of $20. I thought the amount of toppings were just okay. It probably would've been better with an egg. I was unsure if the broth had a lot of peppercorn flavor or if the numbing I felt from eating this ramen was from a peanut allergy, so make sure you do not make the mistake that I did and ask if there are any allergens. Overall, it was fine, but nothing to rave about.

Really good quality food and noodles. Delicious vinegar on the side too. Only complaint is it's not a huge portion for $20 and other competitors rival in their portions. Great ambiance and outdoor seating in Twitter's HQ

For a quick ramen craving, this is the spot. It's no frills, as you order at the counter and pick it up on your own. Kinda like mall food court style! However muuuch better quality than food court food. I will say it is more expensive that food court food though! Mensho ramen is always amazingly chewy and al dente, it's my favorite thing. I always appreciate that their vegan ramen is on par if not better than the meat option.

Incredible ramen! Easily the best in SF.Edit: Came back a year later, still the best ramen I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend!!!!
