One of the best ramen brand in San Diego. Perfect for people who want to enjoy a bowl of delicious ramen and some drinks in late night .

Jennifer Conrad

Favorites are the karage , Tajima orig ramen , kim chee , fried rice (not on menu) the grilled salmon & the okonomiyaki . All so good! Even better if you mix the kim chee w/the fried rice :)

Annie Downing

I had the spicy sesame ramen . I added the chashu pork , red bomb and black garlic oil . The ramen was delicious and I will definitely be back.

Cathy S.

Tonkotsu ramen add a side of kimchi , for an appetizer an order or chicken kaarage with a side of ponzu sauce . Love their green tree , soo good!!

Cody Mathews

Very good ramen and you can customize it the way you like. Just ask!

You can't go wrong either the kakuni ramen (stewed pork belly and egg ) or the katsu don. Delicious and filling.

Gem Cruz

Ramen and Takoyaki is the best combination! But take note, they DO NOT serve Curry Ramen here. Curry ramen is served on the other one.

Chris Mears

Excellent ramen . Quite busy on weekends and rainy days, so order to-go.

Maureen Liwanag

Very veg friendly ! Their vegan ramen and veggie roll are the best in town imho!

Christine Ngo

I ate here 3 times a week in college--no joke. Get the chasu miso ramen w/an extra egg , chicken karaage , beef AND tuna tataki , miso broiled black cod and potstickers . Heaven!

Joe Crawford

Terrific udon , vegetable tempura included bell pepper and was that parsley ? Whatever it was, it was great.

Rich, fatty broth balanced with chewy, bouncy noodles .

It is way cleaner then it's counterpart restaurant off Convoy. Seems like a larger venue as well that can accommodate more guests. Food was prepared very quickly too!
