Cozy SoMa ramen spot specializing in beef-bone broth bowls with optional bone marrow; excellent mushrooms and tender beef, some reports of salty or underpowered broths and occasional slow service.
Ushi Taro Ramen delivers solid neighborhood ramen with strong food quality anchored by its signature beef-bone broth and addictive crispy mushrooms. However, variable broth intensity and seasoning across visits, combined with cramped seating in a 30-seat room, prevents it from reaching higher territory. The creative beef ramen concept and fair pricing make it worth seeking out, though execution inconsistency keeps it from competing with the area's most reliable ramen destinations.
One caveat: Seasoning swings from bland to salty depending on bowl and visit
