Master Critic Review

After Hours Ramen 7.8
Parkside
Casual late-afternoon-to-evening spot known for ramen, wings, and a surprisingly solid Angus burger. Burgers come with crisp fries and optional onion strings for texture.
Must-Try Dishes: Angus Burger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Garlic Parmesan Fries
Scores:
Value: 7.7 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 8.1 Food Quality: 8 Atmosphere: 7.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.6
What makes it special: Bar-leaning menu with an Angus burger locals praise alongside wings.
Who should go: Casual groups seeking burgers plus drinks
When to visit: Evenings before the dinner rush
What to order: Angus burger, bacon cheeseburger, garlic fries
Insider tip: Ask for onion strings on the burger for extra crunch.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking along Taraval; spots open up after 7pm but can be tight during dinner rush. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans and sneakers are fine, though some patrons dress up for evening drinks.
Noise level: Moderate — lively bar energy with background music, but still easy enough to hold a conversation at small tables.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes for groups without a reservation; bar seats often open faster.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait since it opens later in the afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — options like garlic fries, ramen sides, and customizable salads.
Vegan options: Limited — fries and a few sides qualify, but burgers and mains are meat-heavy.
Gluten-free options: Partial — no dedicated prep area, but staff can serve burgers without buns or offer rice alternatives.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want a relaxed and unfussy vibe — dim lighting, good drinks, and a compact menu make it casual but not sloppy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually, yes. Walk-ins are welcome, but larger parties should arrive early or call ahead, especially on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for small kids — more of an evening crowd and bar-centric energy, though older teens are fine early in the night.
Best For
Better for: Stronger drink lineup and late-day energy compared to other Outer Sunset burger spots — great for casual hangs and mixed food orders.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet family meal or a true sit-down restaurant experience; this leans more bar-lounge than diner.
