Gluten-Free Ramen Heaven Found!
As someone who is gluten-free and had never tried ramen before, my experience at Kaiju was transformative. I tried their miso ramen, which featured delicious, thin, and glossy gluten-free yam noodles. The first bite transported me to a world of spicy, umami, and scrumptious ramen heaven.
Kaiju is now my go-to place for an incredible ramen experience.

Terrible Service, Long Wait Time
I ordered DoorDash at 5: 30 PM with an expected ready time of 6: 30 PM. It is now 7: 30 PM, and I still haven't received my food. My DoorDash driver had been waiting at the restaurant since 6: 19 PM.
Consequently, I had to pay my DoorDasher an even larger tip due to the extended wait time, which necessitated my calling the restaurant. The situation worsened when I called and a woman picked up. Upon informing her that I had waited over two hours for my delivery, she asked for my name.
The moment I provided it, revealing my race, she adopted an attitude and stated, "it'll be ready soon! " When I requested an ETA to inform my driver, she curtly replied, "YEAH YEAH, it's ready now, " and hung up. To add to the frustration, I had also ordered from another place simultaneously (double dashed), but that restaurant was closed by the time due to these issues.
My boyfriend and I are unwell and were looking forward to trying a new ramen place and getting a sweet treat. Needless to say, we will not return. The service significantly dampened my enthusiasm for recommending this place, even if the food is good.
I will provide an updated review regarding the quality of this food, which arrived two hours late.

Worth the Trip for Ramen & Kobe Beef
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We travel from the East Bay specifically for their Ramen, and it never disappoints. The Kobe beef is our absolute favorite, and pretty much all of their skewers are bomb.
Thanks to Alice, the service was always good.

Unethical Tip Calculation
My experience at this restaurant was marred by an unethical practice. As others have noted, they calculate suggested tips based on the total bill including tax. I strongly advise diners to calculate your tip based on the pre-tax amount to avoid this deceptive practice.

Good Food, Unethical Business Practice
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the food was good, I really dislike their business practices. They calculate tips based on the total with tax, which feels very unethical.

Excellent Ramen and Happy Hour
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the excellent ramen and the fun atmosphere. The skewers were a small but thoughtfully created and delicious offering, especially at only $6 during happy hour.
While the squid skewer could have used a bit more seasoning in the sauce, the great happy hour overall was highly recommended.

Extremely Rude Service, Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the rude and arrogant staff. I waited over 30 minutes for my order and received no assistance. When I politely inquired about the order status, I was told to "get out.
" The staff clearly needs to learn some manners. The wait time was also excessive, exceeding an hour according to the metadata.

Consistently Great Ramen and Value
My experience at this restaurant is consistently positive. I usually opt for the KO ramen, which features a delicious tonkotsu broth and is generously packed with meat, including a whole rib. This time, I tried the lunch special which included spicy miso ramen and gyoza.
The portion size was HUGE, with five gyoza and what seemed like a full bowl of ramen, all for $20. This place never disappoints.

Delicious Food, Rude Server
My friends highly recommended this place, and I was excited. They warned me that service can be slow, but the meals are worth it. The meal was delicious.
However, there was a rude server lady working during the SF Pride Parade Event on Sunday, June 29. She was impatient and high maintenance. I don't want to describe her further, other than she was rude and ruined my mood.

Inventive Ramen and Delicious Sides
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's one of my very favorite Ramen spots. Not only is the Ramen varied and inventive, but they also offer some other side dishes that you don’t see everywhere else.
I particularly like the Japanese pumpkin tempura. They also have a variety of fairly priced sake’s. The food received a perfect score of 5, and the service and atmosphere were also excellent.
