With chicken. $9.95
Chili Cha Cha 2, San Francisco CA
This wasn’t very good. It was bland and both the chicken and noodles were dry. Hmm…

Slurp ramen – Slurp Noodle Bar
Pork chashu, sous-vide egg, kikurage, chives, nori, scallions, corn, roasted garlic, bacon-tonkatsu broth. $13.95
Slurp Noodle Bar, San Francisco CA
This ramen was good, and decently priced. I liked the sous-vide egg, but I wish there was more chashu. I really enjoyed the complimentary kimchi and chips though.
Kimchi and chips. Complimentary
Hot curry udon – Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill
Sliced angus beef, onion, green onion, udon, Muracci’s curry soup. $11.95
Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill, San Francisco CA
This was on the heavy side, but it was pretty tasty. I wish there was more udon noodles in there though, but I was glad that there was a good amount of sliced beef. Yum!
Ajisen ramen – Ajisen Ramen
Chashu, boiled egg. $8.75
Ajisen Ramen, San Francisco CA
This was decent. I wish the boiled eggs was a bit softer, but this is one of the more affordable ramens you can get for lunch downtown.
Shoyu tonkotsu ramen – The Ramen Bar
Shoyu tare, chasu, ginger, kikurage, soy-cured egg. $14
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
This tasted good, but I was kinda sad that my egg was beat up! If you’re paying fourteen bucks for a bowl of ramen, it better be good and intact. Lame…
House special spicy beef chow fun – Spices
$9.99
Spices, San Francisco CA
Hmm, I felt like this was all noodles. There was very little beef in here so I was left wanting more. And it wasn’t very spicy either. Not my favorite.
Ginger chicken ramen – The Ramen Bar
Shio tare, grilled chicken, soy-cured egg, yuzu. $12
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
This ramen was clean and comforting. The chicken was super succulent and the ramen noodles were perfectly cooked. Wished this place wasn’t so expensive as lunches go in the FiDi.
Kara miso cha-shu ramen – Hokkaido Ramen Santouka
Spicy miso ramen with double portion of pork cha-shu. $15.80
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Toronto CANADA
This was tasty! I loved the spice level of the broth, and the ingredients were great. The ramen noodles also had a nice bite to them. I just wished the chasiu was cut a little thinner so it would’ve been easier to eat. These were pretty thick and harder to eat.
Tori paitan ramen – Mensho Tokyo
Rich and creamy chicken soup, pork chashu, duck chashu, menma, kale, burdock, katsuobushi sauce. Double chashu $18
Mensho Tokyo, San Francisco CA
Overall, I thought this place was overrated – especially for the price! I will admit that this tori paitan broth was delicious. I loved how rich and fatty it was, but I’m sure it’s not for everyone. I thought that the topping were mediocre though. Both the chasu pork and duck were bland and boring, and the other toppings were kept to a minimum. You think they’ve give you a bit more for almost 20 bucks for this slightly small bowl. Meh, wouldn’t go back.
Pad thai – Tara Thai
Stir-fried chicken with thin rice noodles, bean curd, bean sprouts, scallions, and egg topped with peanuts. $11.99
Tara Thai, Herndon VA
This looks bland, AND it tasted bland! There was no flavor to this pad thai at all – sheesh! I’m used to Thai food that actually has flavor. This was probably one of the worst pad thai I’ve ever had. 😦
Niku udon – Marukame Udon
Traditional broth with light fish and seaweed flavors topped with beef, caramelized onions, and soft boiled egg. $6.55
Marukame Udon, Honolulu HI
I loved this udon, and for less than seven bucks! I’m in heaven. I guess this place is super popular, but we got in early so there wasn’t a line yet. Yum!
Curry udon – Marukame Udon
Mild Japanese curry with shredded beef and onions. $5.25
Marukame Udon, Honolulu HI
This was very hearty and tasty. I loved the thick udon noodles and the Japanese curry was very flavorful. Mmm…
