Signature tori paitan ramen

The story behind the bowl

Mensho's San Francisco shop brings chef Tomoharu Shono's experimental Tokyo approach to a tiny Tenderloin counter. The signature chicken paitan is the classic entry, while bowls such as duck matcha show the kitchen's willingness to work beyond convention.

Before you go: Arrive early for the small room and check current availability for the seasonal bowls.
