These days, everyone is craving comfort food, and few foods are more comforting than a piping-hot bowl of ramen. During the past few years, San Francisco has undergone a ramen renaissance, as high-profile international chains have joined local favorites to raise the bar for what the city’s dedicated noodle slurpers can expect — in terms broth flavor, noodle texture, and the jiggliness of the classic pork chashu topping. And while the creamy pork tonkotsu style still reigns supreme, local ramen connoisseurs are now getting familiar with other styles: lighter, seafood-based broths and even the soupless tsukemen dipping noodles.

Prior to the pandemic, you may not have thought of ramen as a suitable takeout food — noodles can only sit for so long in hot soup before they turn soggy, after all. Fortunately, many of the city’s top ramen slingers have adjusted to takeout fairly seamlessly. They’re selling to-go bowls, with noodles and broth separated to preserve their integrity — and, in some cases, they’re even offering ramen meal kits for easy home assembly.

Here, then, are eight great takeout options if you’re craving ramen in San Francisco.
