Reservations Not Taken
Orenchi gained a cult following for their rich, immaculately seasoned bowls of ramen at their original Santa Clara shop. Their Valencia Street location is, dare we say, even better, with exclusive dishes like a mizuna and pork belly-topped tonkatsu ramen and a rich miso pork-laced tan tan men (they only serve 15 bowls of that per day). Starting your meal with fresh-fried takoyaki and buttery hamachi carpaccio are fine ideas, too.More from our investigation...
