The name of the restaurant should tell you that the place is a hole-in-the-wall on 355 Kearny St. (between Pine and Bush), a place where only people in the know frequent.  The place is so small it&#8217;s easy to walk right past it. We spotted it walking through downtown one day. We&#8217;re glad we did.  <\/p>\n<p>We got there at 11:50 a.m. on a Saturday and were disappointed to find it closed, with foreboding bars across the front door.  But, luckily, we saw workers inside, so we waited it out. They didn&#8217;t even acknowledge as we waited. It must be a common occurrence. Turns out they open at noon (and not 11:30 a.m. as advertised on Yelp).  <\/p>\n<p>Chef-owner Ken Matsumura, formerly of Katana-Ya, opened the Ramen Underground back in August. It has a dark, rustic interior, and only a few tables. We were lucky to get the window table.  As we ate, many passersby rubbernecked their heads to see what we were eating.<\/p>\n<p>We ordered the miso ramen with vegetables and spicy miso ramen with tofu.  The noodles in both dishes were the star of the show. The noodles were downright amazing&#8211;so tender and delicious. And they give you lots of it!  The miso ramen has a cleaner, more soothing taste, while the spicy miso has a bit of kick to it. If you&#8217;re going for the more traditional ramen, then go for the miso.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload1-e1324304723991.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"securedownload\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1396\" srcset=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload1-e1324304723991.jpeg 480w, http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload1-e1324304723991-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><strong>Miso ramen with vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload-11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload-11-e1324305181365.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"securedownload-1\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1403\" srcset=\"http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload-11-e1324305181365.jpeg 480w, http:\/\/residentfoodies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/securedownload-11-e1324305181365-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/a><strong>Spicy miso ramen with tofu<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resident Foodies say: We think we found the best ramen in San Francisco at Ramen Underground.
