Ramen Restaurants near La Jolla, CA

“Not only were the views of la jolla cove breathtaking, but the restaurant was clean and the staff was super kind and welcoming. On top of that, the food was phenomenal as always for harumama. The crispy chicken katsu never fails and my boyfriend got the bulgogi fries with extra cheese, and we shared a crunchy salmon roll. All were 10 stars love this place so much.“

“This ramen shop is popular among UCSD students. The food is just average, but it’s convenient and consistently decent. The interior blends Japanese style with modern minimalism, and self-order kiosks make ordering a breeze.

Their fried chicken is said to be tasty, but you’d better skip the ramen. Overall, it’s a handy pick for students nearby. It’s worth a try if you’re on campus, but not worth a special trip from far away. I’d highly recommend Menya Ultra, Ramen Nagi and Nishiki instead.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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 .“

“Food are delicious. Good customer service.“

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

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

“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.“

“My Son and I enjoyed their faire and it was exquisite! A lot of subtle flavors which is indicative of Japanese cuisine. The service was very good and the Manager Jasmine ensured that we were taken care of. Overall a great dining experience. I highly recommend them if you’re ever in the San Diego region.“

“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“

“The food was delicious overall, especially the grilled meat—it was definitely the highlight of the meal! The meat was incredibly tender and smooth, with a rich, natural beef flavor that really stood out.
The Tonkotsu ramen was also very good. The broth was flavorful and delicious, and the pork was tender, juicy, and not chewy at all.
However, the service could definitely be improved. The service felt a bit unorganized, and the staff didn’t seem to pay much attention to the customers. We had to keep calling someone over whenever we needed something.
Overall, the food was great, but the service experience could have been much better.“

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

“Hole in the wall restaurant with amazing food. Reasonably priced, very friendly staff, and quick service. Always heard about this place and finally made it out and it did not disappoint!
1st trip here but definitely won't be the last.
Make sure to get there early and get your name written down on the paper.“

“yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy“

“Your Ramen is truly delicious, noodles bouncy and chewy exactly how you want them to be. The Karaage is crispy and juicy, and most of your other food is absolutely delicious.

That being said, you guys have got to work on your gyoza… it’s truly disappointing. You can tell you either used a bunch of water chestnut or onion or something else crunchy to fill in for a lot of the meat. My Chinese wife’s mother would be REALLY disappointed in the flavor and filling for the price you’re charging. Hell she’s made some freaking amazing gyoza at twice the size at a price you might be able to make even in California for a profit. Also, make some dumpling sauce that isn’t just soy sauce. A little rice wine vinegar and sweet soy sauce and maybe a touch of chili oil goes a long way.

All this to say I wish I could give your food a 4.9 if this rating system would let me but I also just had to let this out because that is really the only thing I found with this restaurant that needed improvement. Loved everything else with a gut that would satisfy a Japanese business man. Thanks for the incredible ramen!“

“Solid noodle spot, but the flavors don’t hit quite the same as the Clairmont location. Atmosphere feels a little less inviting too probably because you pay right at the entrance, which gives more food court vibes than ramen hangout energy. That said, the self-serve sauce station is elite. Spicy mayo, garlic, ginger, chili oil, mayo, and more lets you customize everything exactly how you want. Big plus for the easy-access to-go plates too. Overall, convenient mall location with some nice perks, even if the OG spot still wins.“

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

“The only reason I can't give 5 Stars is that the bar is apparently reserved for Walk-Ins only, those with reservations are apparently not welcome to sit down for a pre-dining experience. Don't arrive early thinking you might enjoy a lounge or bar area. You must wait outside or in a cramped foyer area. However, once seated the service and food is outstanding.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Food was great, ambiance was fantastic!“

“I'll start off by saying that I'm a dedicated Tajima fan...that being said, Silver Lake definitely satisfied my Tonkatsu Ramen and Pork Bun craving while at UTC. The service was excellent, the facility was clean, and the food was flavorful and cooked right. The pork belly had that slight crispy skin without being dried out and the housing mayo was delightful. The atmosphere was somewhat bustling (went on a Saturday at 12:30ish) and actually reminded me of a busy city environment, which felt right. This honestly isn't the kind of place that needs to be quiet to make sense. Quick take from looking around the restaurant and seeing I was the only haole present let me know I was in the right place for bomb eats. Oh yeah, prices were on point as well for the value and portion sizing...tell your friends.“

“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.“

“Clean store with polite staff and good quality sushi. It’s my go to when I’m feeling too lazy to make anything for lunch or if I’m shopping nearby. I also love that they are one of the only places around here that have zaru soba, and my husband says their baked salmon roll is his favorite of all time. The staff remember you if you come in more than once and have excellent service too!“

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

“this was the very first time i ate something so delicious that i felt like writing a review on how good it is, our server was extremely kind we felt very welcomed there. the drinks and appetizers got to the table in 3-5 minutes and the entrees got to the table around 10 minutes after ordering them(we did not feel rushed btw i really appreciated the fast service) and when my ramen got to the table it was amazing, the broth was rich and creamy and just the right amount of salty, the noodles were delicious and not too mushy but were still nice and soft, the pork was so rich and flavorful and it just melts in your mouth and the way that the flavors all came together was truly enlightening.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“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 🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣“

“Very good ramen spot. The aesthetic of the place was nice and relaxing. It does tend to get hot in that place.

The food: by far one of the better ramen spots ove had. The ramen was absolutely flavorful, with excellent cuts of meats. All of the sides came out delicious, the sauces were on point.
My only gripe, but not worthy of dropping a star is the tsukimen. The tsukimen broth is WAY too liquidy, to the point that you oughtta just dump the bowl in the broth and call it regular ramen. My many years of japan the dipping ramen broth was always thick and flavorfull and sticks to whatever you dip in. The is the first place ive experienced doing tsukimen in such a different manner.

Other than that one thing, the food is amazing and well presented.“

“Craving for ramen on a Saturday while in Kearny, so we tried Raki-Raki.

Lot of menus offered, but we ended up ordering:

Original Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen - creamy white soup broth. I guess we’re used to other tonkotsu ramen tastes, more seasoned than this one. Chashu pork was overcooked and too lean. Not a big fan of their ramen toppings. Noodles were good. 4/5

RakiRaki Bento Box - great portion. Gyoza, Takoyaki, RakiRaki roll were all good. Karaage was just crispy, missing seasoning, it was just bland. I guess adding salt and pepper before breading or with the breading probably makes it taste better. 4/5

Staff were attentive and nice.

Will try their other ramen if we ever comes back and hoping for a better taste experience

Parking was still good at 11 a.m. but when we were done around 11:45 a.m., cars were waiting for parking. Complimentary 2 hrs parking when doing business at this plaza.“

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

“I recently picked up some food to go, and it was the perfect choice for a night out by the water. Everything was packed thoughtfully, including those cute heart-shaped containers that made for such a fun beach picnic setup.

The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the ramen had a perfectly cooked egg with a rich broth. We really enjoyed the variety in our order. It was such a great meal under the moon, and I will definitely be back for more soon.“

“I have been here more than any other restaurant...I love the food and it's hard to beat some steak skewers with the garlic rice. Their soups are also good, and the staff are friendly. The place is a little old inside, however, the food makes up for it and everything is reasonably priced for the quality. My friends and family love this place and you can tell the owner cares about the food that comes out.“

“Been a minute since we have eaten at Silverlake Ramen. Ordered the Ramen Combo - Tonkotsu Ramen with grilled chicken and a side of gyoza (4 pieces). We also ordered a side of edamame. Washed it down with a cold glass of Sapporo. The Ramen was perfect in its miso soup. The Thousands Island-Aioli sauce (that’s what it tasted like) had a nice lil kick for the gyoza. Edamame was a good starter as usual. Service was okay. Domo arigato gozare masu.“

“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.“

“A solid sushi spot with fresh food and a good variety of rolls. We were seated quickly, which was a nice bonus, and the service was friendly throughout the meal. Everything tasted good, and the presentation was nice. Overall, a pleasant experience and a good place for a casual sushi dinner.“

“I was so amazed by the lunch I had at Urbn Sushi today. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and of HIGH quality, and the miso soup was delicious without being overly salty like other places. If you find yourself in La Jolla/the San Diego area, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s a place where local enjoy and truly is a hidden gem. The clean, welcoming atmosphere and genuine service made my experience all the more satisfying.“

“Great place to go when you’re craving ramen. They are very generous with the pork portions.“
