Reviews of MENSHO
"As someone who lived in Japan 10 years, eats like a king, and produced a masterclass for streaming television, let me assure you that this place is over-the-top amazing. Chef Shono, founder of the small boutique ramen chain MENSHO, worked with the head chef closely for years to train and set.this place up, and Shono still comes here all the time to make sure everything is perfect. And I mean PERFECT. As in, he got a license to ocean dive for fresh konbu for making soup stock. As in, he had a custom barrel made by experts from Shodoshima island's centuries-old shoyu (soy sauce) brewing community so that that he could brew the finest soy sauce for flavor sauces. As in, the grind fresh wheat for their handmade noodles. As in, ask them what mochi-komugi is --no one in America (as far as I know) uses it and most don't even know it exists. As in, smoked ajitama hardboiled eggs!?!! You can order traditional takes done with the utmost care to produce the utmost depth of flavor, or go for his wilder creations - he's created over 1000 original ramen recipes. Lovely staff who are treated like family and taken care of - so they will in turn be glad to take care of YOU! Also, I'm not vegan, but the vegan ramens are some of the best FOOD I've ever eaten, including at Michelin star restaurants. Can't recommend enough."
"Great atmosphere and service. Waited no too long on a Saturday night. Food was beautifully presented. First bite was amazing but a bit too oily and heavy to finish the rest of it. Good portion tho! Looking forward in trying out the other stuff on the menu."
"I'm still having dreams of the garlic lovers ramen. Has a kick and will have your nose running. Visited for dinner on a Friday night. The wait was long but worth it. Hearty noodles and broth. Great flavors. I suggest skipping the sides and just enjoying a nice bowl of ramen. Seating is tight. Gender specific bathrooms."
"I found MENSHO to be average. Nothing stood out as particularly good or bad. I ordered their Garlic Knock Out and my wife ordered the Classic Toripaitan. We also had their Scallop, Fried Mushrooms, and Daikon Salad appetizers. Their broth was very flavorful, but it was thicker than I expected, almost like a gravy. Also, their meat is cut extremely thin which made it a bit dry. Service was polite, but their main host wasn't very friendly or warm. Asking him a question felt like such a huge inconvenience for him. The rest of the staff was friendlier, but the first interaction set the tone for the evening. Prices are extremely high which makes this a "Pass" in my book."
"Dining at Mensho on Piedmont Ave has truly met all my expectations. After trying their delicious bowls of ramen in San Francisco more than 7 years ago, I thought it would be hard for a new location to match the same hype that their SF location still has, but I was pleasantly surprised. With a vegetarian diet in mind, I’ve enjoyed several of their vegan bowls and they don’t disappoint. My favorite has been the vegan tantanmen, which I’ve recommended to friends who aren’t vegan and the positive sentiment is unanimous. We’ve also tried several of the appetizers (karaage, mushrooms, etc), but it’s really all the bowls of ramen that stand out. Try coming at opening or in the evening after 730pm for faster seating. You won’t regret it."
