Chicken tantanmen

The story behind the bowl

Ramenwell is a neighborhood ramen shop in the Castro that offers a clear alternative to the city's biggest tonkotsu names. Its chicken tantanmen brings sesame richness and spice into a lighter, local-counter setting.

Before you go: Check the current menu and hours; this smaller shop's service can be more limited than the larger chains.
