Ushi Taro San Francisco

Ramen with beef bone marrow

""Ushi Taro" is a tiny ramen house that specializes in beef ramen. A personal favorite is their spicy tomato beef ramen that never fails to warm my core..."

Ushi Taro is a tiny ramen house that specializes in beef ramen. Rich, glorious, meaty, soul-loving beef bone broth ramen accented with your choice or roast beef, ox tail, beef bone with roasted marrow or oyster mushroom.

A personal favorite is their spicy tomato beef ramen that never fails to warm my core and leave me considering ordering a second bowl - despite being stuffed. The side of roasted beef marrow bones is perfect over a bowl of rice. And, because they understand we all have friends, there is a vegan option of miso broth ramen that is very yummy, even without added bone marrow.

On a chilly day, be it winter or summer, this is a short walk from Golden Gate Park that will leave you warm, filled and happy.
