Marufuku Ramen 1581 Webster Street, San Francisco, CA 94115

"Overall a great experience. We've seen the lines at this place many times in J-town so usually chose to eat at another place. Today, at about 4 pm on a Sunday, the wait wasn't too bad--5 mins, so we got in. The staff was quick to take our order and bring out the food. They were also diligent in keeping our water cups filled, even though they were pretty busy. One small, the spicy stuff, is not that spicy. If you like things hot, you can probably push the spice level up pretty high. They do have the pepper on the table in case you don't want to go overboard."

"Amazing food quality. Very deep and rich soup. Noodle texture is something very unique. They will dance on your tongue!! Super fast serving. Professionally set up serving system. Food portion is not small. Little more than average one person serving. Worth every penny and worth every minute waiting. We went there 11:30 on Saturday, and there were 2 tables waiting before us. We sat down within 10min. There is a parking in ground level. $2 per hour. The atmosphere/servers are kindly rushing. I understand that the place is busy, but I wanted to enjoy in a more comfortable atmosphere."

"I came on Friday at 12:30 pm as just 1 person. Ordered a Hakata Tonkotsu deluxe ramen $20.50, small draft Sapporo $7.00, and kae-dama $1.75. Everything came out so fast within a few minutes. The ramen came with chashu, a soft-boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts, and pickled ginger. Since I got the deluxe, they added corn, a thick slab of pork belly, and nori (seaweed). The tonkotsu broth was very creamy but not sweet or salty. The chashu was delicious, and so was the egg. The thick pork belly was good, too, but I liked the thin chashu better. It's probably better to get the normal tonkatsu ramen unless you love corn. The Sapporo was delicious. The kae-dama noodles were hot and fresh. I recommend asking for kae-dama after you finish your original noodles, whereas my kae-dama was cold and stuck together by the time I put them into the broth. As I ate, 4 people came by within 10 min, asking how everything was, grabbing empty dishes and trash. Total price with mandate, tax, and 20% tip came out to $39.05. Good food, great service, love the atmosphere."

"We came at peak rush hour on a Saturday evening. Had to wait 1 hr due to being 30th on the wait list. Very good system they had and we just toured around the mall. Once in, we were greatly warmly, and had food on the table within 10 minutes. Incredibly attentive staff, and the food was immaculate. Highly recommend the Marufuku Bites for the incredibly well seasoned pork. And each and every Ramen was clearly made with pride and no shortcuts. The bone broth flavour was incredibly rich and each flavour blended very well!"

"We got seated right away, waiter (Lin) was fast to take the order, and food came out quickly. Vegetarian ramen is great, although it has too much vegetables (that I personally don’t like) and I’d rather have mushrooms come with it instead but it has to be ordered as an add-on. It was difficult to grab the noodles under all those vegetables but the ramen tasted good regardless. I’ll come back because of the friendly staffs and the fast service."
