“Quaint looking from the outside, welcoming on the inside. Large dining area, big enough for a reasonably sized party. Quite a few people seated (last I went), but the staff were tentative and prompt. Very courteous and helpful, they made us feel welcomed and at home. The all you can eat is reasonably priced per person, and the rules are simple: 3 rounds (couldn't do more than one) and up to 2 hours, you order it / you eat it. The rest of the menu is reasonably priced as well, with a good selection. Will be coming back here when I'm in the area!Vegetarian options: More vegetarian options than expected. Usually I expect two or three vegetarian sushi options available, but there were more, and not plain Jane options either!Parking: As this establishment is in, amongst other businesses, there is usually plenty of parking, handicapped or otherwise.Wheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant, ease of access, large accessible restrooms, and tabletops for those who bring their own chairs!“
“This Ramen place offers excellent food quality and service. It is surprising to find such a delicious Ramen place in a mall food court. The employees are always courteous and cheerful. The place is busy at times, which indicates the popularity of their dishes. However, finding a seat can be difficult at times, especially on the weekends. My wife and I are regular customers, as she enjoys their ramen. We have tried their Spicy Sesame Ramen and their Creamy Chicken Ramen, and both were very satisfying.“

“Found this gem from instagram & decided to visit after a cold day at the beach. We tried the kitakata ramen & tan tan ramen - they both have a unique broth. I usually prefer creamy ones like the tan tan, but the broth for kitakata was also good. Got seated right away even though it was during dinner and food was served right away. Will definitely come back & try their karaage.“
“I came to this restaurant base off the reviews, they did not fail me. This restaurant has amazing service, my waiter talked to us about the whole menu, had conversation with us and even explained things. The food is full of flavor and you cannot go wrong with anything you get. The environment is clam, chill and relaxing. Definitely would bring all my friends here.“
“My husband and I rarely go to sushi. Besides our favorite place back home because it’s usually such a disappointment. We decided to give this a try and I’m so glad that we did! Stephanie was phenomenal! ? The atmosphere was great and all of the food was delicious. We got a Bento box and two rolls and will definitely be back!“
“Got the crush orange roll, udon carbonara, matcha brulee, and rainbow protein roll. The rainbow protein roll was very refreshing. The crush orange roll - I think they forgot the orange aspect because we didn't taste any orange at all. The udon carbonara is best split among 2+ people - we got it with shrimp but would recommend bacon. The matcha brulee was amazing! Highly recommend any of their desserts!“
“Went here because of the good reviews and a recommendation. Like mentioned in other reviews, be prepared to wait a long time for your meal! It is a small place, and they don’t take reservations. You can enter a waitlist.I waited for more than an hour, but I feel like it was worth it (I was veeeerry hungry though). I ordered the karaage (it was okay, I definitely had better), and the tonkotsu ramen. This came with a homemade chilipaste and some finely chopped garlic. I would highly recommend to add these to the ramen, because it really enhances the flavours, otherwise it is quite bland, but after the addition I slurped it up very quickly!Very kind staff!“
“Price to quality ratio is very much on point. Ramen was quite delicious and everything you would expect (plus a little more) from a working man's lunch; it was $12.95 for a large shio.The thing that delivered most for this bowl of goodness was the broth. The salt content was well balanced and provided just enough depth of flavor to satisfy all of your umami cravings. The noodles were delightfully springy, and the bamboo + mushrooms were well incorporated, even if they added more texture than taste. The roasted pork had good flavor, but was a bit too tough. The lowest point was the egg I added, which was hard boiled (blasphemy), and definitely made the dish worse…I left it unfinished.I cannot speak for the non-soup offerings, but in all it was worth my time. Any ramen lover would be satisfied.“
“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!“
“Really good ramen! I got the Shio and loved how simple but delicious the ingredients and flavors were. The noodles had a nice bite, definitely one of the best ramen noodles I have had. I do wish there were more toppings or meat in the ramen given its price though.The enoki mushrooms and hot tofu appetizer were also very delicious (also pricey). My friend got the dipping noodles which she says was great!The wait on a Wednesday night at 6:30 pm was long (30-40 minutes) but the service made it worth it, the waitress was so informative and helpful. I highly recommend this place!To note, the restaurant doesn't have a clear sign as far as I could see so it took awhile to find.“
“BESHOCK Ramen East Village is a hidden gem for ramen enthusiasts! The moment you step in, the cozy ambiance and welcoming staff make you feel right at home. The menu features a tantalizing selection of authentic ramen dishes, each bursting with rich flavors and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.“
“We're from out of town, and this is probably some of the best sushi I have ever had. We came back the next day. The atmosphere was pretty chill and has a Pokémon theme. My son and I about craped our pants when we walked into the bathroom, they have fake spiders and bugs coming out of the vent, down the wall. It was funny afterwards lol. The staff is great, friendly and the place it clean.“
“Best Ramen in town! And omg the RAMEN BURRITOS! Must try if you have never had one! The only place I kno that makes them and they are fire!! I could eat one every day! Service is fast and great. Small place so they get busy during dinner time. I like to go at 4 when they open.“
“Yummy appetizers, super friendly staff, and very cute spot. We loved the decor and diagonally hanging pictures!Vegetarian options: There is a vegan ramen option for two of their ramen bowls.Parking: There’s a parking lot right outside that is shared by the other stores in this strip mall.“
“You miss late-night dining in Tokyo? Come dine at Nishiki Ramen for unpretentious tonkotsu ramen. Outstanding food matched with excellent service! Cassidy, the manager on duty was impressive, and Justin our server was equally attentive. We will definitely dine in again!“
“Average ok. food.,plus expensive for a little Sushi place.Not planning to go there often., also has menu options incase don't care for Sushi ? etc., the chef at the bar conter is great helping you w/menu. I wish they a had combo specials at reasonable prices.Vegetarian options: not sure“
“I started with the brussels sprouts, very tasty! Then I had the creamy chicken ramen with added corn, and it was really good! They have a chilipaste (I think?) that you can add if you want more spice. Good vibes in the restaurant (not loud music), very kind staff.“
“Stopped by this Sunday evening for dinner. Food: We started with the Takoyaki and a couple of hand-rolls. The Takoyaki was warm and exactly what I was hoping for. Then we moved onto the main course, their signature Tajima Ramen. Me and my partner both added carnitas to our bowls. The carnitas was juicy and worked really well with the pork broth. The whole bowl was well put together and I recommend adding some of their complimentary chili oil. Service: The service was excellent, from the moment we walked in and until we were out the door. Our server Charlie was kind and patient, while me and my partner worked our way through the menu. We ended our meal with two pieces of cheesecake which I highly recommend, I love cheesecake and this was a different take on one of my favorite deserts.“
“Only thing, when you walk in it seems like a sewer pipe is burst so not a fun time breathing it in.Food was good though. Hopefully that smell issue is fixed soon. Don't worry, you'll start to not notice it after a few minutes but you'll know it's there “
“As you know, parking is always tricky in North Park but there is plenty of parking available in the neighborhood.The service was so quick. We got water and as we turned around our food was already delivered to our table. They have self serve water (plain and sparkling) outside. I love how spacious outdoor/bar seating is on the patio. The music was great. A great vibe overall. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area and craving some bomb ramen!Food review:Underbelly ramen: (5/5) The noodles, meat, and broth were all perfection in this bowl of ramen! It was a good portion and the meat was SO tender and delicious!Tonkotsu ramen: (5/5) The noodles were cooked perfectly, pork was tender and flavorful, the soft boiled egg is always my favorite part, and the broth is delicious, I could just drink bowls of it. It's not super heavy and has so much flavor.Beef gyoza: (4/5) These were tasty, but there was not as much filling/meat inside as we like.Short rib bao: (3.5/5) The meat was very tender, but the coleslaw and spicy mustard didn't mesh well together in my opinion. I ate the meat, pickle, and bun and it was delicious. It comes with 2 buns, so plenty to share!“
“The food at this downtown location (and the North Park location) is always fantastic. The pork belly broth (Tonkatsu) in the Underbelly Ramen is flavorful with just enough salt.I also love that they have sparkling water on tap (available without an additional charge).The wait staff are patient and fun! The bar at this location is very fun and picturesque. It's an excellent photo spot. I also like that they have seating upstairs.“
“Perfect place for quick, delicious food with great service. Sat our party of five on an impromptu Friday afternoon. I got the Cilantro and the Kraken. Oh, and they split the check with ease!! Wish they had plumb wine though. :( Plenty of free parking!“

“I had an issue with my food delivery and management was very helpful with finding a solution, but I have to shout out Lindsay. She’s the one who answered my phone call and was the sole person I communicated with. She was very apologetic for the mishap even though it had nothing to do with her. She even RAN MY FOOD OUT TO ME in the middle of OB rush hour because parking would be impossible. I hope the store manager sees this and acknowledges how rad her service was!“
“The restaurant is clean and not loud at all. I can't be in loud crowded spaces and this place is so welcoming. The food was fresh and our orders came out quickly. The best roll was the salmon lover roll and the smoked salmon nigiri sushi. Definitely a must try“
“I was hungry and driving around looking for food. I was open to trying out a new place. This place exceeded my expectations, great servings, great price, and great flavorful food.Husband had the Ramen which he loved.I had the Teriyaki Chicken & Cali Roll plate. Started with the Miso, which was as good as it gets. Then came the Cali roll, it’s a simple roll and was executed correctly. Then came a generous portion of Chicken, Rice, and Potato Salad. Loved the chicken and rice. Salad was good. Potato doesn’t make sense for me but it was good. Lastly, I appreciated the small details they added to enhance their plate presentation like adding a pineapple & leaf. I would definitely go back and recommend to friends.“
