Kishimoto Mendō (named after Chef Steven Pursley’s mother’s maiden name) brings the soul of Japanese “noodle halls” to the Delmar Loop. While its sister restaurant, Menya Rui, is celebrated for its shoyu ramen, Kishimoto Mendo specializes in the rich, labor-intensive Tonkotsu-style ramen.

Featuring signature handmade noodles and a broth honed through meticulous testing, the menu offers a focused, high-quality dining experience. Like traditional ramen shops in Japan, the atmosphere is casual and efficient—perfect for a quick, comforting “slurp” or a relaxed meal with friends.
