Marufuku is a ramen shop on the second floor of Japantown's Japan Center mall, and the line snaking out before they open tells you everything about how the neighborhood feels about it. The Hakata-style tonkotsu runs cloudy and deep, with thin noodles and slow-cooked pork belly. The chicken paitan is lighter but no less serious. Expect a wait, and consider using that time to decide whether you're ordering the deluxe.

Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen
“The shop's Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, featuring cloudy pork bone broth, thin noodles and languid slices of slow-cooked pork belly, is a standout of the genre.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Paitan
“For something less heavy, try the paitan, another cloudy broth extracted from chicken bones.”
