Maru Ichi

Maru Ichi is my old ramen favorite. Some places have come and gone. Lots of new noodle shops popping up all over Castro St. but I will always come back to Maru Ichi. I'm so glad that they've been able to hang in thru the COVID pandemic. They're still serving great food and they're doing a great job keeping their customers safe. Their ramen is fantastic. Definitely try their Kuro ramen. Another tip, get their combo meals, a ton of good options and all of them are yummy.

Takeout requires some assembly. I guess that's expected but presents some challenges. Dining in is terrific.

Love this place! If you're looking for simple and delicious ramen, this is where you go. Consistent service and dishes. They're spicy ramen (the aka) is hands down my favorite. Reminds me of a delicious caldo with noodles and pork instead of pollo
