I was very excited to go to the opening of Itani Ramen on Saturday. After watching the Warriors lose to the Spurs, I needed a little pick me up, so  my friend Jade and came in to try the menu. 

Kyle Itani is also responsible for Hopscotch, another fantastic food experience a mere 3 blocks away. I had been twice already and was pleased each time. It is always wonderful to have people passionate and excited about food who are able to share that with others. 

Itani Ramen is a simply decorated interior that reminded me of my previous favorite ramen spot in SF called Hapa Ramen (now closed sadly). A minimal look with wood, clean lines and warm colors. Upon walking in the open kitchen is always a fun sight, the space is laid out with tables along the wall opposite the bar and kitchen and more space for tables in the back. 

Jade was really excited about our salad. 

Finished our salad and moved onto the pickles and Ramen. The broth was hearty and flavorful, i loved the pickles and the salad had a great dressing and crunch.
