Ninniku Ramen Izakaya is a ramen bar and izakaya at 1730 Fillmore St. The name means “garlic” in Japanese, and the menu is built around ramen, small plates, yakitori, sake and beer.
From Nono to Ninniku
Restaurateur Kevin Chen quietly opened Ninniku in January 2025, in the space that had housed his izakaya Nono. Nono moved to the larger, more prominent corner at Fillmore and Sutter, the former Pizza Inferno, where it is now Nono Baru, sharing the room with Bubu.
Lunch and happy hour
When it opened, Ninniku offered a $16 lunch special that included ramen, an appetizer and dessert, and a daily happy hour from 5 to 6 p.m. with $5 sake, beer, appetizers and yakitori. Call 415-829-3411 to check the current menu and hours, or follow the restaurant on Instagram.
