New to SF Ramen Social Night — Meet New Friends (Come Solo!)

SF is an incredible city — but making friends here can feel surprisingly hard, especially if you’re new.

Bars are loud. Networking events are awkward. Dating apps get exhausting.

So we created something different.

A newcomer-friendly ramen cooking social designed for people who want real connection without forced small talk.

You’ll cook ramen together in small groups, share a meal, and naturally meet other people who are also new to the city.

Most guests come solo. That’s the point.

• A relaxed, welcoming social night for newcomers
• Cooking ramen together (no experience needed)
• Small group format so conversations feel natural
• Dinner included — you’ll eat the ramen you make

This is not a networking mixer or a house party.
We host these events in a professional cooking space and gently guide the flow so meeting people feels easy.

The Story of Ramen has been hosting ramen-making experiences in San Francisco for 8 years, welcoming thousands of guests from locals to first-time visitors.
