Ramen Restaurants near La Jolla, CA

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 .“

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

“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!“

“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 ❤“

“Fast casual Japanese eatery specializing in ramen and small rice bowls. Go-to place for the family to pick up takeout or eat in the common food court area within the Mitsuwa grocery store.

A family favorite is the char siu rice bowl (side dish #45). It is simple comfort food with warm and plump short grain rice, topped with tender pork and freshly sliced green onions. The shichimi (seven flavor chili powder) offered at the counter is a nice complement.

The Hiyashi ramen is a cold noodle summer special. Two slices of tender pork, green onions, red pickled ginger, thinly sliced cucumber, and other goodies. Santouka offers three types of sauce - tried the spicey sauce, but felt the mala overpowered the dish a bit. Would recommend the shoyu or sesame sauces and then adding shichimi for more heat.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Love the service concept here. They give you a piece of paper in line and you decide which ramen you want and how you want it prepared. I highly recommend the green king - it's definitely different, but so delicious! They also have gyoza, which is not on the menu, but you can just ask for it.

They do not serve any alcoholic beverages. But honestly, it's probably why everything else is so quick. You don't have people sitting at tables longer than necessary, so waiting in line goes quickly.“

“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“

“It was my first time visiting Menya Ultra at this location. I had the vegan miso ramen.
Wow—it was better than I expected! It was full of vegetables, the soup was creamy, and it was easy to eat. The only thing that disappointed me a little was that there were some tough pieces of onion skin, I think. But other than that, the atmosphere and the staff were great.“

“Food are delicious. Good customer service.“

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

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

“Loved it. It was my first time in this place. The server was very nice, the service was prompt, and the food was delicious! My nephew treated me to this! We started with sushi, then had something like a rice 🍚 bowl--and it was delicious, and the server brought us some fried chicken to try--a whole order! I wanted to try their desserts 🍨, but i just didn't have any room. So, that's another trip I have to plan. And the only thing I didn't like, which they have no control over, is the noise level. But there's nothing to be done about that. Over all, it was a lovely experience!😍🪷“

“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.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“They turned creamy chicken ramen into just chicken ramen. I’m heartbroken. It was still great but not as satisfying. Their egg and takoyaki is the best ever, it’s been 7 years since I’ve had it for the first time and still, no other ramen place can top it. My parents are also great fans of the carnitas ramen and my mother even said she thinks it’s better than normal pozole. I’m still sad about the CREAMY chicken tho 😔“

“They didn't have a table ready for us when I arrived, so we were seated right next to the entrance doorway. I was cold throughout the entire dinner. It was disappointing, especially since I made the reservation weeks in advance and we ended up with the worst table in the restaurant. I had also noted that it was a birthday reservation, yet no one commented to the birthday girl. Food was great as always though - just a bit bummed and will probably not come here for special occasions.“

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

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

“Service is good and food comes out hot and fresh and right away! We’ve eaten at many ramen places but we have NEVER had broth like this before !
So much flavor it doesn’t need any of the extras! The noodles are perfect the way it is as well. The Tonkatsu was delicious as well. 20 out of 10 we HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“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. 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“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“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here and was thoroughly impressed, especially by their outstanding curry rice dishes.
My dining companions and I sampled a good variety of their offerings. The pork cutlet curry rice and gurobuta curry rice were both absolute standouts. The curry itself was rich and flavorful, perfectly complementing the tender, crispy cutlets. If you're a fan of Japanese curry, you seriously need to try Monsta Ramen Curry – it easily surpasses other well-known curry establishments.
Beyond the curry, their teriyaki skewers and spicy mayo skewers were delicious additions, perfectly grilled and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed the potato shrimp and takoyaki, both of which were perfectly cooked and satisfying.
What makes Monsta Ramen Curry even more appealing is the very reasonable price point. You get incredibly delicious food without breaking the bank.
In short, if you're craving authentic, delicious, and affordable Japanese curry rice, Monsta Ramen Curry is an absolute must-visit if you’re in Convoy Streer. You won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The very best yakitori in all of San Diego. Great prices and service. Cooked the authentic way over Binchotan charcoal. This is the real deal. Great beers like Orion and Sapporo. Happy hour specials. They conserve Ramen and such but we only come for the yakitori and beer.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“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??“

“Great food 😋 and friendly atmosphere 🥰.“
