"sous vide pork belly " soo tender????????& delicate???? & for the ramen , get the "belly of the beast" & pls. pls. Add extra char-siu???????? that way it's like gettin' a taste of 2 ramen bowl????

Andrekka Lanier

Delicious cocktails , great atmosphere and I loved the shrimp gyoza and fried chicken bun . I was not a fan of the ramen . It tasted bland, I tried the Belly of the Beast and Veggie w/chicken.

Ben Priester

I had the Underbelly Ramen and the Belly of the Beast Ramen and they were both very tasty and loaded with Ramen and meat. Plus, the service was awesome.

Andy Wang

Hipster ramen joint. Very friendly service and great selection of beer . Noodle was awesome and al dente . Broth is not bad but not nearly as good as Ramen Dojo in NorCal. Worth a try

Hudson Sutler

Right in the heart of Little Italy is...the best Japanese comfort food in town . For ramen , it's expensive , but if there's a chill in the air you'll definitely be glad you stopped in. Read more

The ramen with the dumplings…perfect for those cold SD nights. Just watch out for those chairs outside! They’ll throw you right to the ground. Oh yeah and bring your own spoon.

Ben Priester

So far everything! I've had the Underbelly Ramen and Beast of the Belly Ramen and both were excellent. You can't go wrong choosing this place to eat.

Jeremy Jacobowitz

One of the collest spots over ever been to! Have to try the buns and all the different ramen options! Asian fusion to the next level!

Tim Erdmann

Belly of the beast ramen is fantastic. If you get anxiety in close, crowded spaces, this location may not be your best choice at peak hours.

Demi Johnson

Great local option if you're in the Little Ital in downtown area of San Diego. Surprisingly good, firm and chewy ramen noodles ,yum. I had the oysters too but wasn't as impressed.

Toreya Shea

I'm a late night eater, so this place is perfect. Don't complain about the flies or lack of spoons, suburban folks. Put your big girl pants on and act like a downtown girl. This place is sexy.

Kris Estrada

Get the tonkotsu ramen and add vegan noodles to it! Pork belly and pulled pork add to as well ! They have a really great beer list too!

Oliver Asis

Get the Belly of the Beast and sit outside and do some awesome people watching while you eat your amazingly delicious noodles . If you are on the hot and wild side, get the ghost pepper sauce .

Curateur Magazine

Great unique design makes the #foodie experience one of the best. Have the belly of the beast ramen if you have a big appetite or want to share. It's big but DELICIOUS.

Kristen Haas

So far the flies are roaming all over, probably cause its hot but worth trying the ramen anyway. I've only had it once so excited to try the veggie ramen substituted with pork broth(server suggestion)

Alejandro Portela

Skip the ramen and order as many pork baos as you can eat, that's all you need. They are perfect.

Wil Reynolds

Belly of the best ramen , do it. No beers outside remember. Speak stairs upstairs are tough of you are bringing anyone over 50.

Adam Besachio

Seedy side ramen and I usually add an egg and the oxtail dumplings or broiled unagi

Matt Marcin

Solid ramen . Not authentic but scratches that itch. Belly of the beast with extra oxtail , truffle oil and scallions is the way to go!

April Ordonez

The vegetable ramen is quite possibly the best veg ramen I've eaten—outside of my home. The mister really liked his oyster appetizer (w/watermelon and sake ) and tonkatsu ramen .

Erika

Great beer selection and if you like ramen , its decent. A friend of ours recommended it and we enjoyed the drinks with the relaxed atmosphere .

Laura Dolan

Try the Tonkotsu ramen with oxtail dumplings . For buns , the pork belly and fried chicken buns are the best.

Ben Priester

I had the Underbelly Ramen and the Belly of the Beast Ramen and they were both very tasty and loaded with Ramen and meat.

Caroline Deng

Wow the Kimchi ramen with tonkotsu base and oxtail dumplings is amazing!

Josh Thompson

I love ramen , and having lived in Japan for quite some time, I can say that this is the best "American" tonkotsu ramen I've had.

Pavel Bozdog

Local beers and great ramen . A little on the pricey side, but great ambiance!

loran jonak

Small spot in Little Italy with outdoor seating and a very respectable beer selection . Friendly staff also.

Thrillist

Add char-su belly, applewood bacon , and kurobuta sausage to make the signature UnderBelly Ramen . Do it. Read more

Donghuan F

Very good americanized ramen ! Great service! If you are a beer person, try the I love IPA !

Steve Streza

The pulled pork in the Underbelly Ramen , oh my god, genius and incredibly delicious

Ann A

Mushu appetizer was amazing! Negative part of my experience was inhaling the large amounts of bleach as they cleaned which made my ramen experience less than satisfactory.

Danieka Erasmus

The oxtail dumpling ???? were amazingly yummy! The bacon wrapped mushroom too!

Shay Ben Yacov

Amazing cool Ramen Asian restaurant in downtown San Diego

Lindsay Nader

The vegetarian ramen is hands down one of the best dishes I've eaten in the last year. Mushroom heaven!

Bernie Zamora

Had lunch on Saturday, 1/19 with Josh. That place is one of the best ramen place in SD

El Doosty

Kimchi Ramen . Add Egg , Dumplings & Pork Belly . Maybe Short Rib too if you're really hangry.

Michelle

big portions and generous with the meat. counter seating all around. probably tough to squeeze in a big group. awesome draft beer selection !

Kirti D

Want something rich & decadent? Get the Belly of the Beast, the oxtail dumplings are superb.

Lizzy

Look like a regular - the bathroom is hidden. Go to the back where there's a white brick "wall" - notice there's a door handle.

Luke White

The tonkatsu ramen with custom toppings can't be beat. Great pork buns too.

Jerry Hong

Not the best ramen but pretty good (too much meat). The egg does rival that of orenchi's. That said, they have unparalleled service, since they offered to replace our ramen after a fly flew in.

Perriann Hodges

Have to get the trio and the ramen . I highly recommend the belly of the beast!

Kyra Kilian

Wings were really good but the sun was was too intense to enjoy. (The sun hits most of the seats)

Tyler

Ask the homies behind the counter for tips. They can seriously spice up your ramen .

Jeffrey Lambkin

Ordered a couple ramens & apps to split, prepared well , nice outdoor community seating

Ben Priester

Everything is super deliciousness!

Solario

Sit at the streetside bar during warm nights. Excellent set-up.

Chris Lee

Excellent Underbelly Ramen and excellent interior design .

allison

Roger Ma

Underbelly ramen is where it's at! Pair it with a Hitachi White Ale and you're good to go!
