Ramen Restaurants near La Jolla, CA

“Karaage Rice Bowl was good for the price. Although more expensive than other on campus options, the chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly and overall the dish was very balanced. Portion was very good, even for someone who eats a lot. Although it's not the best I've ever had, certainly worthwhile to stop by.“

“Chef hooked it up today. Kudos and thank you. The Omakase was beyond amazing, especially for the price. It was definitely worth it. The 2 collar items as appetizers are a steal for the price and quality. When I want sushi with a view in La Jolla I am coming here.“

“Such an awesome place with great food and an awesome beach setting! Whenever I come to San Diego to visit family, I will always come here after a great day on the water.“

“The staff at Haru were very hospitable. Carlos, our server, was very kind and made our experience at Haru one to remember, striking us with great conversations and the best attitude. I wouldn’t go for sushi anywhere else. Thank you Carlos and the entire staff for your warmth!“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“This is the best ramen place in San Diego I love it!! Perfect portions delicious food great customer service. My favorite dishes spicy rice and spicy ramen 🌶 🌶 🌶 I recommend this 2 dishes if you like spicy food .“

“While in town for SDCC my husband and I took a chance here and we are so happy we did! The staff is wonderful and attentive, plus they gave great recommendations. The pork belly melted in my mouth and the salmon went down too smooth. Definitely give this place a shot!“

“great value and super convenient! but most importantly I love the portions. the small size is superb, and still very filling. I especially liked the chashu pork.

some tables and a bar area for single patrons. I believe the seating area has decreased since I last seen it pre-COVID around September/October 2019.

cash only, no cards or digital payment.

also a side note, they don't serve sprite here but they do have 7-up!“

“Quality of their Ramen, the flavor, and variety.“

“our first time was really good, we ordered ramen. husbad said we will go back for sure. i want to try the bento ❤“

“From Phoenix looking for some good ramen and I’m so glad I found this place. It’s located on the second story of a “skydeck” inside of a very nice looking food court. I ordered my ramen medium spicy and it was delicious! I added more chile powder and oil to it. The server Leo was awesome and friendly!“

“A decent ramen spot with a few tasty options to choose from. The wait to get in and for the food can be a bit long, especially during busy hours. The ramen itself was pretty good, but due to the crowd, things like utensils and side dishes on the table weren’t always restocked in time. Still worth a visit if you're craving ramen and don't mind a bit of a wait.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Vegan ramen is amazing! Went there twice during my trip down there! Highly recommend!“

“Our server Cam was awesome and food was great! Got to try it. Great dumplings!!!“

“Great place for a fun lunch, dinner or late night supper. Lively atmosphere in a nice setting. Well-crafted ramen and fried chicken/kaarage dishes. (We didn't try the sushi/rolls). Just very tasty and unpretentious. A modest selection of good draft beers, wine and soju. You won't be disappointed.“

“We loved this place. We just came from a round trip in Japan and can easily say this place at UTC has the same if not better food. The service was excellent and Kaylee, the manager was very nice and friendly. Our new favorite spot outside of Japan. Ps. The music was very smooth.“

“Food are delicious. Good customer service.“

“my order was ready on time, ramen is amazing and those pork umamis are just delightful ❤🤤 it almost melt in your mouth“

“Not quite like they make it in Japan, but not bad! It’s definitely over priced, but most things are these days. The noodles were a good size & texture and the right portion for me, but some ramen lovers might be left wanting more noods. The spicy miso broth was good and not too greasy and the meat had a delicious charred taste. The soft boiled marinated eggs were also surprisingly good. We also got the garlic edamame and some sushi.“

“one of the best ramen I ever had...my two son's bring me there on my last Birthday celebration March 4 this year. the Ramen noodles and soups, toppings are so good and delicious. I recommend this restaurant.“

“This is my favorite ramen and karage place to go. This particular location. Our server Ace and Jason helped in the clean up. Service was fast and very transparent when what my daughter want was not available. He offers suggestions or other options which turns out to be even better. Thus, the 5 star rating.“

“Great service! Jas and Deanna were so nice and friendly. Gotta try the Brussel sprouts.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Delicious food…all of it, the Ramen, the sushi, everything!“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“This is hands down our favorite place for ramen! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always top-notch. Whether it’s a quick lunch or a cozy dinner, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing ramen and a great dining experience!“

“This was my first time there and the ramen is delicious“

“The 27 Curry Ramen is amazing. 4 out of 6 of us at dinner ordered it, and everyone loved it. I have no garlic chips and add spicy oil to it to give it even more flavor. I come to Raki Raki as much as I can as I'm never disappointed in my meal. A few locations make it convenient to visit. There's the one on Clairmont Mesa Blvd, on in Rancho Penasquitos and one in Mira Mesa. If you visit the on in PQ, be warned that they have limited seating.“

“Food was great, ambiance was fantastic!“

“Authentic Japanese owned. Best sushi i’ve ever had, ramen was great too. We for sure recommend Hakata ramen. We tried the fireman sushi and was great, not too spicy just the perfect amount of spice. Staff was super friendly and attentive. We will go again when in town“

“We got the veggie ramen, it was very good.

We also got the spicy tuna bowl-not great. It came out immediately and looked like it had been pre-made, perhaps was sitting there for some time, the lettuce on it was old/wilted. I think if you come here just stick to the ramen it appears it’s what they do best.

Service was very good.

One more observation: The doors of the restaurant were rather dirty, especially the push bars on the doors. It was a strange thing that just stood out to me, but they felt sticky-maybe it was an off night. 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Great place to grab some sushi and ramen for the kids! They have the Japanese soda's the kids loved as a "special" drink. This is a must try secret sushi spot! You gotta have the amazing fried rice. Cheers.“

“I really enjoyed the food. We got 2 sushi rolls and chicken katsu. All 3 were delicious. My only complaint would be the miso soup which had an odd taste, I believe due to the bowl holding the scent and slight taste of whatever soap was used to clean it. Other than that, it was an enjoyable meal.“

“Kumi Café is one of those hidden gems you find and just keep coming back to. My husband and I have been here multiple times, and every visit is just as good — if not better — than the last.

The service is always amazing. The staff is kind, fast, and really on top of things without ever making you feel rushed. They create the kind of experience that makes you feel genuinely taken care of.

Today, we had the Korean short rib, the bento box with gyoza and a California roll, and the tuna poke bowl. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I normally don’t even like California rolls, but theirs are so good — fresh, not too mayo-heavy, and the rice is just right. My husband said his poke bowl was refreshing and delicious, and I couldn’t stop stealing bites.

We’ve also tried the sashimi and the chicken katsu curry on past visits, and both are incredible. The sashimi is super fresh and generous, and the curry — especially the chicken katsu version — is rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. Definitely one of our favorites on the menu.

The place has a chill, modern vibe — clean and simple, but welcoming. It’s become one of our go-to spots when we want something that hits the spot without breaking the bank.“

“If your looking for an inexpensive and affordable restaurant on San Diego's Convoy Street ( Asian Cultural District) then this is the place for you. Not only are the prices great but the food is delicious especially the curry dishes and their Skewers. The service is great and the servers are very friendly and outgoing. We have dined here twice already and we had a fantastic experience both times.“

“Some of the best Japanese food in San Diego. I wish I had known about them sooner.“

“Covid-19 take out can be a hit or miss with food tasting like it's container. This place did not disappoint. I ordered the Vegan Ramen for a late lunch. Inside the restaurant is following proper protocol and is very clean. I have always ordered Vegan Ramen anywhere I visit outside of California, and have ordered all over San Diego. This by far is the BEST Vegan Ramen out there. The coconut milk, chili and miso broth is well balanced and buttery, the noodles and added ingredients are well proportioned, the tofu is not at all mushy or greasy..The noodles are fresh and delicious. for a couple dollars more you can add more noodles.. Definitely a stop for some comfort food!“

“Food is good. Drinks are expensive. Service is unimpressive, waitstaff do not seem to enjoy what they do, they are polite but do not care about customer or making sure the order is correctly submitted and received. Lovely dinning area and not overly crowded, so noise is not a problem.“

“Everyone who works there is friendly With excellent customer service food was delicious 🤤“

“it looks delicious never tried it I live in Puerto Rico USA used to live in California and ate sushi twice a week so I know west coast sushi, sashimi, miso etc. are the best your pics sure make me hungry thanks for sharing I would eat the entire tray 🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣“

“Amazing sushi and noodles at Ayu Sushi & Noodles in Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. We loved everything, the tempura udon, the yume, sachi, and anata rolls, the bluefin crudo, and the salmon hand rolls. Great selection of species on the menu, next time will need to get more nigiri and sashimi. Great service, friendly and quick. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Recommend!“

“My friend and I went in today to try their poki and let me just say, someone who helped us out her name was Hannah I believe, kindest, most amazing soul ever. Was very sweet, amazing customer service, honestly best employee that has made my food. The poki was amazing! We loved it here.“

“I would 100% recommend these sushi. No but seriously, is there any negative I can point to about the sushi rolls I've had numerous times at this place?? NO! I even drive from Carlsbad to get them. which would maybe be a negative??“

“Food and service was amazing“

“The chicken was overcooked and greasy.....the ramen was good and the spicy flavor was on point....the chicken threw it off however so, it could have been perfect if the chicken would have been cooked properly.....probably would not return if I was ever in San Diego again....“
