This in my opinion is the best ramen place in Japantown, and I've been going here regularly or having it delivered for a few years now. The rich tonkotsu broth is full of flavor, and the noodles they pair with it are firm and thin enough to be not soggy yet still have a good noodle texture. Their ramen eggs go perfect with the ramen. The serving size is generous too, and I would highly recommend the regular Tonkotsu ramen with its classic flavor; the Spicy Tantanmen is also good, but I like the noodles that come with the Tonkotsu ramen better. Service is good, and the atmosphere is just right. Highly recommended! 5 out of 5.

The food is indeed of great quality. I wouldn't want to put up with the wait again, but worth it at least once.

Easily in my top 5 ramen spots in the city. Their service is amazing. I recommend going there earlier before meal rush time to avoid the lines. Tan tan men ramen was my favorite

Delicious, the weight is worth the Ramen!
In the corner left facing the location, there’s a little hidden bar. I recommend you go there while you wait is great. I’ve had their takeout as well, but there’s nothing like being there in person.

Updated review 4/7/2024: The chef or recipe have changed. This is no longer "Wow" good. Their Hakata tonkotsu DX ramen $20.50 used to be really good, especially their broth. This time, it was weak. It no longer has a strong pork taste. It did retain that cloudy colored broth that I like. The tiny chashu pieces and jelly egg remains good. I wanted to order a side of the chicken leg but they ran out. I was just in the Hakata area, Fukuoka city in October and most ramen shops there have a better broth. The wait was around 30 minutes on Sunday at 5pm. Service remains excellent. All the people that work here are courteous and fast.

Original review: Indoor dining on 3/17/2021. Wow! Finally, a Japanese owned ramen restaurant in Japantown. Marufuku Ramen has six tables for Covid indoor dining. The wait time for me was about 35 mins at 5:45pm on a Wednesday afternoon. I had the chashu rice bowl $5 and the tonkotsu DX ramen $18.50. As someone who ate hundreds of bowls of ramen in Japan, this place is not bad. Their broth and noodles tastes a lot like Ichiran ramen's, which is not a bad thing. It is like Marufuku copied Ichiran's recipes. The broth, thin soft noodles, soft boiled egg, the tiny two pieces of chashu were all authentic. The chef and the Thai waitstaff were extremely fast. I will definitely come back (if they have more tables and shorter wait times.) Great job everyone at Marukuku.

This is just about the best bowl of tonkotsu ramen I have tasted. Perfectly rich and umami broth, soft and delicious roast pork, great noodles. Hard to beat.

One of the my favorite ramen spots in San Francisco. Located in the Japan Town Mall. I got the veggie ramen and it was absolutely delicious. I asked mine to be ultra spicy. The flavor of the broth was incredible even after adding more spice. The service was incredibly fast and I was able to go in n out in about 30 minutes.

The best ramen we have ever had ever! I always get the pork ramen with extra pork, and my girlfriend always gets the pork ramen with an extra egg. Everything about the ramen is absolutely perfect!

Some of the best tonkatsu ramen I've ever had. Perfectly creamy broth, not too salty, a whole deliciously marinated egg, and they added a thick slice of pork belly. Great service. Definitely will go here again when in SF.

Long lines but worth the wait. Tonkatsu ramen is amazing. Probably the best vegetarian ramen broth in the city. Toppings are generous and tasty. Cheerful vibe and located right in Japan town.

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 too 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.

Having eaten ramen all along the east and west coast, I can comfortably say that this is top 5 in my books. The service and food is amazing. The noodles are thinner than what I am accustomed to but still perfect with the refined broth. I did wish the chasudon had some light soy sauce added to help assist mixing the bowl together.

5 stars all the way, definitely order the hakata tonkotsu ramen if you have not done so! Broth, egg, braised pork belly and noodles all Q-Q!

One of the best Ramen shop in SF!! If you are in Japan town you need to come here and try it. I came back three times! Very rich and creamy broth, very generous portion size.

Very bustling place. It was nice. But, the ramen was pretty bland. I had the vegetarian ramen that was pretty hyped. It has all the veggies, sure but also bland taste and a bit burnt like. Maybe others might find it good. But, not my taste. Nevertheless, service was so good. Really nice people!

Incredible hakata-style ramen that lives up to the reputation, definitely my favorite in Japantown. I find the non-spicy broth significantly better than the spicy broth here. I love to stop in and appreciate that the staff here recognize regulars. Would recommend.

The staff was impeccable and the food was superb!
The Atmosphere was cool too, I loved the ambience and the lighting was relaxing.

The only compliant I had is that the spicy isn't spicy at all but that's ok, I should have gone with ultra spicy lol

I will definitely return later ^^

Saw a MOUSE running across the restaurant!
My friend and I were eating, chatting, enjoying our delicious food when we saw a mouse run across the restaurant. We sat there in disbelief and let our waitress know she said “I will let the manager know” then she tried to rush us out of the restaurant by hanging us the toast machine to pay.

I like Mensho and Marugame a lot more since the vegan option here wasn’t as good.
