It's nice when you live just a few blocks away from your favorite ramen place. My wife and I have…read morebeen coming here for years and we've always enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they recently changed the menu and I can no longer get tonkotsu broth. They only offer chicken broth ramen which I do not care for in the slightest. Even the additions I used to put in my ramen (bok choy and bamboo shoots) are gone. I can get over removing my favorite vegetable add-ons, but ramen broth is a pretty important item and I'm shocked the options are gone. I think you'll lose a lot of customers by committing to just one base as I think a lot of people have a clear preference. I will also say that service, drinks, and ambiance are all still top-notch! Tonight was especially good from a service standpoint. Incredibly nice, helpful staff! Saki menu is good. Cocktails are generally on-point. They always deliver in those areas. I'm currently super disappointed. Please bring back our broth options and you'll definitely be a five-star spot.

Five stars. Possibly six. BESHOCK Ramen appears to be serving some kind of emotionally…read moredestabilizing joy broth. I went here with my daughter, thinking we were just having dinner. A normal meal. A casual San Diego ramen situation. Incorrect. What actually happened was that my child experienced a culinary event so powerful it rearranged her internal belief system. She took one bite and immediately declared it her "favorite meal ever" and "the best sushi on earth," which is impressive because those are two separate categories of food, but honestly I respect the conviction. At that moment, she became a tiny ramen prophet. A noodle evangelist. A sushi sommelier of chaos. I was no longer her father. I was merely the adult with a wallet and transportation. The ramen was fantastic. The sushi was fresh. The whole place had that magical "we actually care about what we are doing" energy, which is increasingly rare in a world held together by parking apps and spiritual fatigue. Then, as if the first visit had not already altered the timeline, my daughter made me go back the next day. Not requested. Not suggested. Made. There was no negotiation. She had tasted the mountain and demanded we return to the temple. So we did. And it was still excellent. BESHOCK is now officially part of our family lore. Somewhere between "remember that time we saw the ocean" and "remember when your daughter discovered ramen and briefly became a food critic possessed by a joyful sea dragon." Highly recommend. Bring your children only if you are emotionally prepared for them to ask to come back immediately.

I just wanna shout out Kayla from the night shift for taking care of us last night. She was able to…read moremove my group into a different table without a problem because it was dumb packed and I didn't feel comfortable around allot of people. Thank you so much Kayla you're the best. The only problem I had was with that blonde hair girl with bangs.

It's a great amount of food for the price and everything goes so well together. I've tried other items from the menu too and have always been happy with the food. Great flavors, good portions, and very reasonable prices. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm craving ramen!

Amazing weekday lunch special! $15 will get you a ramen, fried chicken or chashu rice, and a drink!…read moreMy coworker made this great pick for a workday lunch. I got the shoyu ramen, chashu rice, and a cold oolong tea. The ramen was fine in texture and al dente. The broth was flavorful, without being oversalted. I was very impressed by the chashu: it was carefully cooked and just melts in your mouth. Extra tender. The oolong tea really hit the spot too. The food came quickly, and service was good. I just came back from Japan last month, and this place in San Diego did not disappoint. I would definitely come back again to try their other items. Sorry no pictures this time, as I was famished. Parking lot was small, but we were able to find a space at 1pm on a Friday

The serving was a bit smaller than what we are used to when we order ramen but overall we enjoyed our dinner and our 9 year old gave it a 6/4 stars. Service was very nice once we were seated and the wait for the food was not bad. It is a really cute place, feels authentically Japanese inside, but also authentically small, so I recommend reservations for a larger group: we were a party of 7 on a Saturday evening around 5:30 with no reservation and we had a wait of around 40 minutes. Definitely worth trying at least once.

We all enjoyed their thin noodles because the server explained it was more traditional versus the thicker noodles that American culture uses. Next time I would opt for the traditional and pass on the red king (it was not spicy and tasted more sweet). Their karaage is crunchy but also had the sweet marinade to it which I didn't enjoy, it was more of a chicken nanban.

I had a really strange service experience here, which is really disappointing because my husband…read moreand I are (or used to be) regulars! We were first in line to be seated, and the server offered to seat us at a mostly-empty communal high top in the center of the restaurant. I'm 8 months pregnant, so getting in and out of those high chairs is pretty physically straining for me, so we requested a (already clean and ready) 2-person table off to the side. The server was visibly annoyed by this request, and decided to seat the party of 4 behind us. Weird, but whatever! When he's done setting their table and seating them, he comes back to the front, points to the table we requested, and shoves two menus and two plates into my hands and walks away, having me set the table myself? It was very strange, because I recognized this server, and he's usually very pleasant. Other than this incident, the food is very good, but it does come out at really random times. I can only assume their kitchen is understaffed, because it does take a while to get your meal. I did enjoy eating here, but after my most recent experience, neither of us have any interest in going back.
