My poor friend ABM up and moved out of the Mission into the far reaches of the Richmond, all to cohabitate with his fiancee.

1825 Post St (inside the J-town building)
(between Fillmore St & Webster St)

I finally went after Sarah had mentioned this place countless times as being a close, reliable place for some cozy hot broth and ramen noodles. Yes, many diehard Yelpers know about it, and it is quite controversial, depending if you know your ramen or not. I currently do not, and probably never will know what true homemade ramen noodle soup should taste like. But I’ve learned a few things:
