A Revamped Culinary Experience in San Fransokyo Square
San Fransokyo Square, formerly known as Pacific Wharf, underwent a major transformation in 2023, reopening with fresh theming inspired by Disney’s Big Hero 6 (2014). Aunt Cass Café replaced Pacific Wharf Café, and many eateries added new menu items with a creative, cross-cultural twist. Among these revamped offerings, Lucky Fortune Cookery introduced the dish that would become a fan-favorite—Birria Ramen.
What Makes Birria Ramen So Special?
Birria Ramen at Lucky Fortune Cookery isn’t your typical bowl of ramen. It’s a brilliant combination of flavors and textures that blend the best of two beloved comfort foods — Mexican Birria tacos and Japanese ramen. This inspired creation features tender house-made Birria beef, ramen noodles, a richly seasoned consomĂ©, Monterey Jack cheese, a soft-boiled egg, and a garnish of fresh cilantro, onions, and radish.

The Birria beef is cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and flavorful, making each bite melt in your mouth. The broth, or consomé, brings a depth of flavor with its slightly spicy, savory notes that perfectly balance the richness of the beef. And let’s talk about the soft-boiled egg—it’s that extra touch that ramen lovers know makes a world of difference. Once you try it, you’ll find yourself craving this dish again and again.
Not a Ramen Fan? Lucky Fortune Cookery Has You Covered
If ramen isn’t your go-to comfort food, Lucky Fortune Cookery has a menu packed with other mouthwatering options. Try the Chicken Pot Stickers for a satisfying appetizer, or go for the Karaage-Inspired Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which offers a satisfying crunch in every bite. For something a little different, the Beef Bulgogi Burrito combines tender beef with bold Korean flavors, while the Yaki Udon is a great plant-based option that still delivers on taste.
