    Salmon bento box with spicy tuna roll
    Fareed S.

    Fun spot with spectacular views of seal beach. Ended up going for lunch and enjoyed both the pot stickers and salmon bento box. Attentive and speedy service.

    YELLOWTAIL SUSHI

    The view at this place is amazing. My friends and I watched the sunset by the window, and it was everything. The atmosphere alone made the experience so special. We got our food in a timely manner, and our waiter was honestly the best. He was attentive, made jokes with us, and kept the conversation going, which made the whole night even more enjoyable. I really appreciate experiences where the people around you, including other guests, are kind and open to sharing recommendations. Our waiter also gave great suggestions and was very hospitable to me and my friends. We had a party of seven, and he still accommodated us really well. The food came out quickly, and the appetizers were amazing. I definitely recommend the calamari rings. The only thing I would note is that the wait was a little long, but that was mainly because of where we wanted to sit, and it is a pretty popular spot. We waited about 30 minutes, but it worked out because we walked down to the beach and had a really nice late night walk. Overall, it was such a great experience and definitely worth it.

    What a wonderful and unique place that makes dinner memorable! We loved that they offer offered Ramen, sushi, and buns. And not just any buns, but shaped in what you're eating for the meat selections. The dessert is shaped like a bunny. The location is beautiful. You have a nice view of the ocean. Our server was incredibly helpful with our choices, especially for my husband who has a fair amount of allergies. The food was incredible! The cherry blossom I had was good, but not memorable. I do look forward to trying other drinks and items on the menu.

    044/2026/Feb This is an Asian fusion eatery offering sushi, ramen and a trendy bao buns !! A Valentine Date with hubby plus daughter and grandkids! Was a busy day so just decided to utilize the valet parking ...$20 /3 hrs and $2/hr after! Was still few hundred steps from valet to the restaurant! The wait was about 40 minutes upon checking in @3:56!!! So we went for a walk to the Coast Walk Trail! Upon getting back to the restaurant it took another 30 minutes wait from the 40 minutes ?????Really ?? We got seated at 5:15!!!! Service was great ! Hubby and I shared a Bulgogi Udon, fried pork potstickers and the Crab Rangoon!! We had sharable of sushi rolls, and we ordered the animal buns as well. Bulgogi Udon served with beef broth, bulgogi beef, caramelized onion topped with green onion, and sesame seeds... was very tasty and flavorful!!

    LOVEDDD dining here!! i was looking for ramen spots to try out in san diego and so many people recommended blue ocean / harumama! we were seated at a booth by the window -- since we came at night, we couldn't see the ocean, but i'm certain the view would be beaaautiful during the day or at sunset. such a cute date night spot :3 overall, the atmosphere was super modern and spacious. waiter was polite, meh service was just average. the me so hot ramen was yummy, but would probs get less or no peanuts next time. hawaiian roll had a yummy sauce and was DELISH, i was honestly surprised at how many rolls there were!! i was most looking forward to the cutie character buns hehe. chicken bun = soft and plush, texture inside reminded me of a tuna melt bunny bun = perfect, chef's kiss, no notes if you don't mind a short walk, skip the valet and find street parking (we found spots along ivanhoe ave on a weekday).

    Got here on Mother's day at around 3:00pm and was seated an hour later. The food was just as great as I remembered it was when I had gone here a few years prior. We got seated next to the window which was a plus. I would definitely come back here again!

    Harumama is my favorite ramen spot! This location is my absolute favorite not only because of the food, but because of the views as well! It overlooks the oceanfront and you can see groups of seals resting along the shore. Service here is always super friendly, and they're all very attentive to detail. My go-to ramen choice is the Flying Pig, and I enjoy the modern Asian-fusion flavors. The broth is rich and not too salty. The brussels sprouts add a nice, fresh crunch to the dish, and the pork chashu melts in your mouth! The lunch special is such a great deal, since we chose nigiri sashimi, a roll, and pork belly bao bun. The combo worked out very well because we got to try a variety of dishes, and we enjoyed all of it! Harumama/Blue Ocean would be a great date spot or simply a nice place to treat yourself!

    Flying Pig
    Taylor C.

    The best ramen shop in San Diego! Make sure to reserve ahead of time as tables fill up fast. The view is immaculate as you are on the edge of the La Jolla Cove and can see the shore. Flying Pig - The best broth I've ever had in a ramen hands down. The broth is savory and perfectly creamy. Chashu is extremely tender and the brussel sprouts melt in your mouth.

    Had lunch here today and was seated by the large windows which added a special ambiance to the meal. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered omakase box and everything was fresh except the uni, minus one star for that. Otherwise very lovely meal!

    Chickie Chickie bun bun

    Blue Ocean/Harumama in La Jolla on Prospect St which has been here for over 6 years, is a very touristy area which is why I had avoided it but recently dropped by and and it was my first time dining here. I have dined at their branch restaurant Blue Ocean at the UTC Westfield and liked the food so I was excited trying this location. Parking is a major challenge. There is no online reservation system, you can call or just come in and take a chance as I did. I wanted a table next to a window to have the spectacular views of La Jolla Cove and the Pacific Ocean and the hostess suggested I wait a bit and she was able to accommodate my request yay!! The menu had lots to offer but I had to always try the miso soup, edamame nigiri and a Chickie Chickie Bun Bun, those fluffy character buns. The limited edition polar bear was out :( All that I ordered was prepared quickly and presented nicely and more importantly tasted all fresh and delicious. On my second visit, I had to try the High Noon spicy chicken ramen, since ramen is one of those things their known for. This ramen had the spicy chicken broth, sliced chicken tenders white meat, sliced black mushrooms, bamboo shoots, a semi hard boiled egg, green onions and I added garlic oil to enhance the flavor. The bowl of soup was presented temperature hot, look and smelled amazing. I usually have the broth first and a few bites of the contents and noodles but got too full to finish it all and had it boxed Togo. The staffers: hostess, waiters, waitresses and servers were all busy but very nice and offered to help, so service was great, they quickly cleared, cleaned the tables and eating areas kept the restaurant clean. The restaurant has outdoor seating without ocean views. Only the limited booth seating had ocean views. The other tables and bar seats don't have direct ocean views. If you're dining here, it's best to have ocean views to add to ambiance as you slurp the ramen and nosh on sushi and nibble on character bun buns, a visit to Blue Ocean/Harumama is a must. Recommend

    Sashimi
    Felicia C.

    My husband loved this restaurant when he went to UCSD, so we decided to come here for the memories and food! We came here on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a 50% sashimi deal Monday-Thursday. My favorite types of sashimi was the bluefin tuna and the fatty tuna. All the pieces of sashimi were super fresh. Highly recommend getting that here! Chicken Katsu - Fried perfectly, but a little oily. Loved the salad that came with it. Overall, I would definitely come back for the half off sashimi!

    Chicken Katsu
    Jordane A.

    The food was great! I feel like it was a solid 8.2/10, we got the shrimp crunch roll, chicken katsu, and calamari. The calamari was decent, not the best i've ever had. Service was good, scenery was beautiful

    Pig Bun
    Analiea M.

    Came here for dinner and I was so excited to finally try their character buns! I got an order of their pork buns, they were so soft the inside was sweet and savory. We also got the crispy chickie and flying pig ramen. The flying pig was delicious, it had Brussels sprouts which was different. Nonetheless very tasty. We also got some sushi, a yellow tail roll, spicy tuna and crunch shrimp roll. All were super yummy and nicely thick cut. To finish, I got some bunny Nutella buns and I absolutely loved them. It wasn't too pricey either, service was fast and quick as well. I'll definitely be returning when I'm back in the area. The only downside was that the parking here was crazy! It was a Sunday night and there was nothing within walking area besides $30 public parking and valet.

    Ask the Community - Blue Ocean/Harumama

    Do they take reservations?

    Last I checked a couple months ago they don't. Only thing close to a reservation is if you want a table by the window and have to wait for it, they'll put your name on the waitlist, but only if you're there in person.

    Is this on the ground floor?

    Yes you walk downstairs

    Do they accommodate for a gluten allergy?

    Yes, they have gluten-free noodles as one of their ramen options.

    Is there parking?

    There is street parking that's impossible to find during lunch/dinner hours, even during weekdays. But there is valet next door at George's.

    Can they accommodate a peanut allergy?

    I have a peanut allergy and was able to eat here comfortably. I was very clear to the server what allergies I had and she was able to let me know if any of the items I wanted contained those allergens. As I always tell those with allergies… Read more

    How can we seated nearest to the ocean view ? Do we need to make reservation or call ahead?

    There's limited seating outdoor with ocean view. It's best go when they first open since they don't take reservation.

    What's a good place to have a picnic nearby this restaurant since it is now takeout only? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a large grassy area overlooking the ocean at scripps park which is right around the corner from there . Bring a blanket and enjoy… Read more

    Does this place take reservations?

    I'm sorry, we unfortunately do not take reservations. I recommend calling ahead of time, and asking host/hostess for an estimate of the wait time.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    We love fur babies but are only allowing service dogs in the restaurant/patio area .

    Are gluten free noodles and/or broth available?

    We do have a gluten free noodle available on the menu but our veggie broth base used in the vegan ramen, does have components of yeast in it.

The street with a few restaurants is closed off at least at night. We have come here a few times. We had the Crunch Shrimp Roll (amazing), the Salmon Avocado Roll (small for the price) and the Miso Cream Udon with Shrimp and Scallops (worth the trip). We also, after the first time, ordered a side of white rice. It is a pro move. After you finish the Miso Cream Udon add the rice and it will soak up all of the goodness. Do Not Leave Any Cream Behind. They were busy so it took a bit for them to take our order but we weren't in a hurry. There is cool art on the wall and one made of cut wood blocks that may just be held together by gravity.

We stopped by for a spontaneous sushi lunch and ordered a couple of basic rolls to share which came with the standard soy sauce, wooden chopsticks and fresh ginger. Service was swift and friendly.

Parking: Free nearby neighborhood street parking which could be tough in the summer months. Date of visit: December 2025. Helpful?

    TLDR: It's good ramen at a respectable price. I think they understand what people want in ramen,…read morethe items outside of ramen, and what they're willing to pay for. Tantanmen: As a person who isn't a big tantanmen fan, I was shocked that I enjoyed this. The spice level was tolerable, and the saltiness level was okay, until you get to the bottom 3rd of the bowl. You get good portions and meat to noodle ratio, so it's worth it. Tonkotsu Ajitama: Creamy with a touch of saltiness. I love a good tonkotsu ramen, and I think this is a good introduction to tonkotsu. I'm glad that they have a bunch of options so people can customize how they want their tonkotsu ramen. Pork Paiko: It's not a katsu, but it gives that vibe. I think this is a good thing to pair with the ramen. I think the vibe is different enough from the chashu, where it's worth ordering. Chicken Paiko: it's chicken katsu with a different vibe. The batter has more body and is a different vibe compared to their fried chicken (karaage). Although I think the pork paiko is better, people who prefer chicken can rest easy knowing this is good as well. Fried Gyoza: I don't know what to say. It's a fried dumpling. It's not remarkable enough to be considered amazing, but it wasn't bad either. The good kind of average in general. Fried Chicken: It's a decent fried chicken at a good size. I just hope they can maintain the size, since many establishments have a hard time maintaining chicken quality after a while. Service: You pay first before being seated, and most of the stuff is self-service, so the interaction is really just when ordering and when they drop off the food. Ambiance: Classic ramen shop. Well lit, smells good, and located in an upscale mall.

Pros: I got the spicy miso ramen and it was really good overall. The flavor was rich, savory, and well-balanced, with a broth that felt hearty and satisfying without being too heavy. The noodles had a good texture and held up well in the soup, and the portion size was solid for the price. One of the biggest positives is the convenience of the location in the Convoy area, which is full of food spots and easy to get to. Parking was also surprisingly good, which is a big plus for this area since it can get busy. Service was fairly quick and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time, making it a smooth and easy dining experience. Cons: Since it's a popular spot, it can get crowded during peak hours, which may lead to a short wait or a busier dining environment. The interior is more casual and functional rather than upscale, so it's not really a sit-down "experience" type of place. Depending on timing, consistency can also vary slightly between visits, especially with different broth types. Verdict: Overall, Raki Raki Ramen is a solid go-to in Convoy for flavorful ramen, especially the miso. It's a great option if you want a quick, satisfying bowl with good parking and a reliable casual dining experience in the area.
