Ramen Diaries: Iza Ramen

My First Taste of Tsukemen Ramen

Taken on 1/5/19 at Iza Ramen: Brandon, Erik, Wei and Jason.

As we were trying to decide what ramen place to go to, I found that Iza Ramen is ranked as the #2 best ramen place in the city according to Eater SF. I thought it was pretty good, but definitely had higher expectations. I think the service was laking because we all got our noodle bowls first, then the second bowl with the broth came about 10 minutes after that… so I felt like the noodles were getting cold as we were waiting for the broth. When the broth did come, it wasn’t steaming hot, which I didn’t like, but it was okay. I would definitely go back, but I would ask that they please bring all the bowls at once and to make sure that everything is steaming hot.
