New to SF? Come for the Ramen. Leave with New Friends.
San Francisco is an amazing city… but let’s be real — making friends in SF can feel weirdly hard, especially when you’re new.
Bars are loud. Networking events are awkward. Dating apps are exhausting.
So we created something different:
A newcomer-friendly ramen cooking social night in San Francisco, designed for people who want real connection — without forcing small talk.
You’ll cook, laugh, and share a meal with other people who are also new to the city and looking to meet new friends in the Bay Area.
Most guests come solo. That’s the point.

None at all. This is beginner-friendly, fun, and guided by our team.
