Ramen Restaurants near National City, CA

“It is my favorite ramen place, I always come here to socialize with friends, and I love how spacious it is. Even on a busy day it doesn't feel cramped up. Their food is excellent, both ramen and sushi.“

“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 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.“

“Esteban made our trip to San Diego complete, great service, great jokes, great recs. Food was inspired and different for a Florida snot like myself. Pair this happy hour with other happy hours and you are in serious business! This guy only works 3 days a week, but he should work 11.5! Extend the week for Esteban!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Teriyaki chicken and The Spicy Ramen was delicious!!!“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday here! Geena was an amazing server; her dish recommendations were incredible, and her attentive service made the occasion feel extra special. Between the outstanding food, great drinks, and wonderful atmosphere, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Food was great, ambiance was fantastic!“

“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!“

“Food is really good here. We didn't wait at all on Thursday around 7pm. The service was good. The servers were very nice. The food was really good as well. We had Edamame, Gyoza, Karaage, Tonkatsu ramen, and a CA roll. Only thing to complain about is having more broth to the ramen. I love broth. But the atmosphere is where I complain. It is COLD in there. Bring a jacket! Also, there is absolutely no phone service in here. I wished they had some sort of guest WIFI.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Been going to this place for over 20 yrs. Beside good excellent food , staff are always friendly never change.. love every time I’m here, it feels like my second home..“

“I got the teriyaki chicken bowl and it was so delicious! Nice service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The foods that we order was all good!!!“

“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.“

“I didn't have the sushi, maybe next time. I went with the chicken curry katsu, spicy. The flavor was very good but I think they forgot to make it spicy. I didn't detect any spice to it. They have a nice selection of craft brews on tap and the service was very friendly. Overall I liked this place and will go again.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Awesome staff and delicious options, plenty to choose from. I recommend the Go Go Godzilla or the Abre La Boca Mucho Roll. After six years, it's my number one place for Japanese style food.“

“Honestly, one of the best value all-you-can-eat sushi spots in the College Area. A lot of AYCE places try to fill you up on huge balls of cold rice with paper-thin fish, but Sushi Factory actually gives you solid portions.

The salmon and yellowtail nigiri were super fresh and buttery—no weird fishy taste or mushy texture. The escolar was really good too. For the rolls, they don't completely drown everything in spicy mayo or sweet sauce, so you can actually taste the fish.

Service was surprisingly fast. We did three rounds and the staff brought everything out quickly without 'forgetting' items to slow us down.

It's in a strip mall on El Cajon Blvd so parking can be a little tight during peak dinner hours, but for the price and quality, it definitely hits the spot. Will definitely be back.“

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

“Absolutely Incredible Food! Makes me wish I was a local! My wife and I checked this place out as we were visiting San Diego for the Muse concert and I’m very very happy I came across this genuine sushi restaurant!

The staff is very welcoming and friendly! Clean inside with a great vibe and tunes they play!

The food was A+ when it came out! Very fresh and extremely delicious!

I would definitely recommend trying the baked salmon roll, special kaiyo roll and the Yum Yum roll!

Whenever I go back to visit San Diego I’ll definitely be stopping by Kaiyo sushi to try more of their delicious menu!“
