The first thing you notice when entering Mensho on Geary is how dirty it is. Having been to dozens of ramen establishments in Tokyo, even the seediest ones in Roppongi at 3:00 am were cleaner than Mensho when it opened at 5:00 pm. Very un- Japanese. The noodles. Well, that’s a matter of personal preference. The noodles are thick and curly here at Mensho. They have a really nice chew to it. My preference would be the thin noodles like you would find at an ippudo or Ichiran. But many prefer the thicker noodles. So that does not figure into my review. My primary issue is with the soup, or more specifically with the presentation of the soup. First, they give way too little soup. In our case, and we ordered three bowls, the soup only filled half of the bowl, and we could see the noodles sticking out. It was nothing like the photos where the soup fills 2/3 to 3/4 of the bowl and completely covers the noodles. The main event of a ramen is the soup. And here at Mensho, they were so stingy with the soup that it tainted the overall experience of enjoying the full flavor of the soup on the noodles. Second, the soup was not piping hot. It really should be super hot, nearly to the point of boiling. Instead it was verging on the side of warm. As a result, the whole experience was wrong. It was the incorrect ratio of soup to noodles. Unfortunately, ramen perfection is in the details. And the details were all wrong the day we ate at Mensho in SF. In terms of the soup, it was good. But definitely not great. I would not wait in line for anything more than 10-15 minutes to eat at this restaurant. Anything more will end up disappointing you. Bottom line, Mensho is mediocre as a ramen establishment and should not be awarded any Michelin mention for the branch here in SF even if the main restaurant in Tokyo received a star. Onishi-san should make a trip to SF soon to instill some discipline into his restaurant here in SF so as not to taint his reputation further.
