Updated review 3/11/2022: 21 Taste House is still my favorite ramen restaurant in this part of the city. Their broth is cooked for 10+ hours and I can taste it. The things I love about 21 Taste House are: no 30 minute + wait times,...Read More

We were walking by having dropped our cat off at the ocean Avenue veterinarian and saw this little casual non-descript restaurant serving ramen. We were hungry so after looking at their posted menu decided to give it a try. We were very happy that we...Read More

I did not have high expectations since I just wanted a quick bite, but this place is such a steal, especially for their black garlic lobster ramen with pork that I got! I have never gotten so much meat in ramen, the noodle were perfect,...Read More

After studying with some friends at the philz, we decided to get some food together and chose this restaurant. This place was super unassuming, it honestly looked closed when we came inside. But, we were seated right away. Inside was a bit small, but each...Read More

Super friendly staff, and they were also very generous with the portion size. The ramen tasted amazing and the seating arrangements inside were setup nicely and more private. The music was also really nice, felt like a very early 2000s type place!

The ramen here is among the best I’ve had, even considering my two trips to Japan. The broth is infused with rich flavor. There is a complex well prepared meats combined with different flavor of sauces. I can tell that many ingredients are slow cooked...Read More

Rich broth and perfect textured noodles. Hope they stay the same when everywhere else cut corners. Always stick with the ramen selections. My mom is a picky eater but she never complains about this ramen.

This is long overdue for how much I love this place. It's a quiet quaint little restaurant with some real flavor coming out the back. Granted I've never sat down to eat but it's your run of the mill "no frills" residential SF restaurant. The...Read More

Very tasty ramen that comes out hot and tastes great. Intense brother and large portions of meat. I was shocked by how generous they are. Service was fast considering the place is run by a duo. Great neighborhood restaurant.

My spot when I’m suddenly craving some ramen. Tokyo style Tan Tan is my choice and they’re not afraid to stack the meat here. Big portion for a good price, 21 gets it done.

I believe they have the most authentic Japanese ramen in at least 7 miles radius, maybe even the best in the entire North bay area. Price is reasonable, worthy for the outstanding quality of the food. If I have to pick some cons, I'd say...Read More

Best ramen I've had in SF so far. Cheap price and the portion is huge! I couldn't finish mine dish and had to take home the remaining. You have to check out this place but be careful cause it can be pretty crowded.
