The 15 Best Places for Noodle Soup in San Francisco

Michael Winton: Try the garlic shishito peppers, takoyaki, and tonkotsu ramen. And don't forget a carafe of sake to wash it all down.

ivy♥: You can't leave this cute little place without trying their ramen. The BEST! To make it even better, also ask for pork belly in your ramen. It *does* melt in your mouth :)

Bill Couch: You haven't had the best ramen in the city until you've ordered the tonkotsu here with pork belly and spicy miso.

Chris Kurose: Best ramen I've had in SF, hands down (and I've been to 15+ spots in my search). Rivals Tsujita in LA which no other SF joint ha been able to shake a stick at imo.

Kevin Wu: The best Vegan/Vegetarian ramen I have ever had. I can't stop coming here.

Amber: Best ramen in SF, IMO. Specials are always new, creative, and delicious. The regular menu is enough to keep you going back time and again. Organic shoyu isn't amazing, everything else though... 😋

Rachael Lynn: The Pho Bo is one of the best beef broths in the city. Can't go wrong with the spring rolls either!

ᴡ Chua: You can't go wrong with their pho. We picked rare beef pho and added meatballs and tendon since we are sharing. For the who prefer rice meals, shaken beef is very tasty.

K2: Spring rolls and Chicken or beef Pho is to die for 👍👍👍

Melissa Dagdagan: Delicious new spot to add to my rotating list of ramen joints. Ordered the Hinodeya Ramen. The dashi broth was delicious - light but very full of flavor. Will try their Tori Paitan next.

Jole P: By far my favorite ramen place in San Francisco with delicious chicken ramen and super quality al dente noodles. The fried chicken appetizer is also MIND BLOWING

Susan Lai: House Ramen is very good. The broth is flavorful, light & clean tasting. Noodles are perfectly al dente.

chris casey: The #19 Pho Ga Quay Chao (five spice chicken with rice beef noodle soup) is great. It sounds boring, but it's not...I swear!

Ananda Destefano: The name says it all! You can't go wrong with the Pho Ga. Tender noodles and the chicken is never chewy, always perfectly done. Feeling rich, go for th Vietnamese crab. Can't go wrong with 58, yummy!

G: Everything looks good and smells good too..we try their#8 pho, it's creamy and really good. It's a great place for family style dinner.

Staff Picks: Marufuku Ramen, located in Japantown is known to be one of the best ramen in the Bay Area. Try Marufuku's Hakata-style ramen!

An Sheng: One of the best ramen spots in the city! I like the pork ramen, the egg is perfect 👌 the chicken ramen is good too for its value (whole leg + ramen)

Lucas Nicodemus: Get the hakata deluxe! Best tonkotsu ramen you can get!

Bill Gray: Best dang Pho shop in all the land! I highly recommend it any time.

Liana Duckworth: Pho with meatballs my favorite when I come there! #17 I think!

Sam H.: Phonomenal experience. Some of the best pho in SF. Remember to get lemonade to offset the salty pho tidal wave.

Kitt McCurdy: I break my vegetarian rules for the #17 five star chicken pho, so good!

John Niedermeyer: If you’re going for the first time, go for pho. (I like the #17 five spice chicken.) Cash-only, but $10 is all you need for a delicious, spicy bowl of noodle soup. Perfect for a quick bite on the go.

Maggi X: #17 best Pho ever! Don't let the front of the restaurant fool you. Very authentic and very tasty!

Dave Jensen: Paitan ramen is amazing. The broth is rich with a wonderful yuzu flavor. 🍗🍋🍜😋

Yuri Ramocan: Delicious Paitan-style Ramen (different from the more traditional Shio or Shoyu Ramen). Some of the best Ramen outside of Japan. The Umami Chicken Wings and Edamame are great choices for appetizers.

Carissa: Chicken leg ramen is wonderful. The broth is so rich. Gyoza was crispy and flavorful!

A F: Delicious ramen (get it spicy with extra chashu pork), and takoyaki + fried chicken appetizers. Lovely staff and great service. Nice sake. Good for dates too.

Matt Cline: Lively place, quick service, molten takoyaki. This is the best ramen restaurant in SF. Their Tsukemen is served slightly warm which I prefer and the Spicy Iza Ramen is a knockout (not too spicy).

Mike Winston: Without a doubt, one of the best ramen joints in SF. The classic Iza Ramen has a rich, soothing tonkotsu broth, thick slab of tender char siu pork, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. WinstonWanders.com

Gary Williams: Finally tried all the pho' spots on this strip. This one is by far the bet and only a block from home

Khara: Awesome Pho Tai with great flavor! My favorite.

Gigi Agius: Best pho I've had in a really long time. Waaaay better than anything you can find in NYC

_: All vegan. Better than some non-vegan restaurants. Get the spicy miso ramen! Also quite pricey...

Dave Zhou: Surprisingly tasty vegan sushi and ramen!

Anil Vittal: Philly Rolls and Avocado Rolls are awesome as well as the Ramen. Good sake here too but a little pricier.

Henri Liriani: Vibe is chill, service is amazing, and I LOVED the sesame miso ramen.

Renganathan Ramamoorthy: My wife thought the spicy miso ramen was amazing. Being vegetarian, the vegetarian version was meh.

Bikash Mishra: Spicy miso ramen and the laksa are solid.

Améredia: This place has the best Vietnamese food in the City. Pair your favorite dish (Spring Rolls, Papaya Salad, Bun Bo Hue, Egg Rolls, Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio or the famous Pho) with Vietnamese iced coffee!

matt knox: All of the spicy beef pho (aka lemongrass pho, I think), the normal beef pho and the (huge) carpaccio are excellent. I didn't like the shaken beef that much, though.

Michael Alderete: Terrific pho soups, some of the best I've had in SF.

Eddie Codel: My new favorite ramen place in SF. Super delicious thick broth. Get here early to avoid the line.

Schlomo Rabinowitz: Best Ramen house in the Mission, by a long shot. I pray for delivery come winter.

Cara Hirsch: I've had all the meat ramens, and my favorites are the shoyu and clam. We also enjoyed the cold tofu and the sweet and spicy chicken wings.
