  I just had oral surgery and I finally get to eat and one of my favorite meals is Tonkatsu Ramen and Gyoza. I've never ordered a delivery of Ramen before because I really enjoy the atmosphere in many Japanese restaurants here in San Francisco
  i've been very fortunate to live in Osaka Japan and really know my Ramen. And when I ordered from your restaurant I had never been there before so I didn't know what to expect.
  
  Your black garlic warrior Ramen is one of the best I've ever had
  
  The hot broth was thick and rich and the ingredients I could tell were crispy and fresh. The gyoza was crispy and flavorful.
  
  Even the price for this ramen was only $13
  Next time I'm ordering Corn added and extra chasu.
  
  5 stars for you guys!!!!

  Solid ramen spot in the Richmond! Ichiraku Ramen is located at what used to be a bad boba shop, so it's a much welcome renovation. With that said, it is a fairly small restaurant with only one server and it can get kind of loud depending on how many parties there are.
  
  I ordered the red garlic warrior ($14) and the broth has a decent flavor, but it is a little thin and wasn't of a milky consistency that I've grown accustomed to like with other tonkotsu broths. Despite it's name, it was neither overwhelmingly garlic tasting or spicy so don't be turned away by the name. The noodles had a good consistency and were thin. I like how they give you a lot of noodles here! The chashu is very tender and flavorful, and the egg is soft boiled which is always a plus.
  
  Overall, I like that Ichiraku does not skimp when it comes to portion size and while it's not the best ramen I've had, it is consistent and local (if you live in the Richmond) without long waits. Worth a visit if you're in the area but you don't need to go out of your way to eat here imo.

  I've been here for lunch a few times with my girlfriend who lives in the area. I always get the black garlic ramen. It's very flavorful and just the right amount of spice.
  
  Today I got the Seaweed salad, it was yummy too!
  
  It's a tiny spot so not sure how crowded it gets for dinners but lunch is not bad if you come a bit before noon.
  
  The one guy who works as the waiter and the chef has a tough job but everything was great. I'd recommend to anyone in the area!

  To start, this was my first ramen place to try while I'm visiting San Francisco. I've heard from a lot of my friends back home how this place is a must to visit. Any who, I'm glad me and my mom were able to stop by and experience Ichiraku! The service was great. The employees all said hello to me and my mother! It wasn't that busy at the time and we were seated right away. We tried the Tonkotsu Ramen and we have to say this was golden! Love love love it!
  
  I actually just ate here again recently and the last time I forgot my sunglasses. Shout out to the staff here for being so awesome towards their customers. Definitely my new Ramen Headquarters in San Francisco. Thank you!

  Ichiraku Ramen is a small ramen joint in the Richmond district. They have a simple menu with three ramen broths - tonkotsu, black garlic tonkotsu, and red garlic tonkotsu. They have a yelp waitlist so make sure to get on the waitlist before you come to avoid any waiting.
  
  I chose the black garlic tonkotsu which was topped with bean sprouts, black fungus, bamboo shoots, soft boiled egg, pork chasu, and green onions. The broth was amazingly flavorful and garlicy. The pieces of pork were extremely thin, so order extra if you need your protein. My egg was a little overdone as well (see pic). I tried my friend's red garlic broth and found it a little sweet for me. It was not as spicy as it looks.
  
  It was pretty decent ramen. It's not my favorite in the city, but satisfying. Food came out quick and the service is friendly. Parking can be a B in this area so make sure to account for that if you are driving.
