Izakaya Masa

Nice place, the ramen ???? is to die for. Worth visiting to try it - take big portion . The curry is average.

Ramen comes in 3 sizes - I got the Hakata and it was awesome! Not too salty like a lot of other ramen places . Definitely try the tuna carpaccio and fried chicken (not labeled karaage on the menu).

Very traditional Japanese food . The hokke or Alta mackerel were on point. The karaage where a bit strange. The agedashi tofu was also authentic .

Great late night stop if not in the mood 4 Mex rolled tacos . 3 different sizes, authentic ramen will make your belly full & warm. Get there BEFORE midnight. They will close doors if too slammed.

Have an Asahi beer and a bowl of ramen in this authentic Japanese restaurant . Everything we had was delicious.

The hakata ramen is a must try. The broth is so amazing it almost brought me to tears when I first tasted it. Chicken karaage is pretty bomb here too!

ramen can come in small or regular size. Come with a friend and try some of their side dishes like ankimo , jellyfish , steak tofu (black pepper sauce on tofu ) and a side of Asahi beer !

Get the eggplant appetizer ; it's small, but so delicious. Also, the Katsu-don is made perfectly. Don't get the bento box with the mackerel - it takes a loooooooong time.

Great authentic Japanese food . Try everything-- scallop carpaccio , sliced roast pork , noodle dishes are all great

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen : good broth(+), noodle is soft and thin, chashu is not fat(-), but I like fried garlic . Chicken karaage is juicy(+). Don't order sushi nor ochazuke, totally not authentic (-).

The best & most authentic Hakata ramen & tonkatsu curry in San Diego! Definitely a gem.

Takoyaki is best in town ! Just be careful it is skin burning hot! Watch out! Always a good time! Ramen is spectacular!

Craving for late night ramen ? This is the place to hit up!

Ramen bowls are very tasty, obvious use of the freshest ingredients available

Have to go back! Hakata ramen and gyu don are amazing! Good rolls too :)

The miso soup is a great deal, try the rainbow roll they are generous with avocado !

Incredible fish , ramen , appetizers . We loved it all.

Awesome ramen and agedashi tofu with reasonable price. Love this place...

Fresh sushi but it's pricey . I would love to splurge at this place. This is the only sushi place that I know of to carry DARK Japanese beer and it's very good!

I would skip the ramen . Instead, order a bunch of small bites to share with your friends!

Ramen is great, love the garlic

Holy cow brand new addition and looks amazing!

Having dinner w Chad and Shannon (visiting from Austin TX).

Try the ramen here. One of the best hole-in-the-wall ramen places

Favorites: Veggie Green Gyoza & Tofu in Black Pepper Sauce . Sushi-eating friends swear by San Diego Dream roll.
