Katana-ya – San Francisco, California – Good Value for Ramen – Broth Could Be Better
Katana-ya Ramen with corn, bbq pork, fried chicken, fried gyoza, and spinach
I checked this place out for lunch and there was actually no wait even though this place is small. I tried their Katana-ya Ramen which has corn, bbq pork, egg, spinach, fried chicken, and fried gyoza in it. I got the miso broth light. You can get light or rich and I chose light.
The ramen itself was good with the right chewy but firm texture. The broth was good but not quite as flavorful as I am used to. My favorite place for ramen right now is Shoki II in Sacramento. My brother-in-law, who had never had ramen from a restaurant before thought it was good.
I would say the light versions of their broth still need a little more flavor. I also don’t like that they charge you $1.90 to make it spicy. Most places don’t charge you to make it regular spicy or hot spicy.
I plan to return and try their rich Miso broth as well. If I like the rich miso broth better than the light, I will consider bumping this to a 4 star review. I might be a little harsh here but really ramen is all about the broth. This is definitely a good place for lunch or a quick dinner and you get pretty good value for your bowl of ramen.
