The food was sooo good, tasty, flavorful. Vegan noodle soup- the spinach noodles and creamy coconut broth and so many yummy veggies are the best way for me to get my daily veggies! The adorable chicken bun was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient! Ambiance was perfect for the 5 of us, including a baby. We sat in the back section with other families. Definitely will go back!! read more

My family and I have been to different Harumama locations. So far it's been consistent wherever we go. Food, service, and ambience has been great. Each location has its own flair. Some offering different things at their location such as happy hour, lunch deals, and adult drinks. Others have a bigger menu. They offer different cute merch. Locations: Carlsbad Encinitas Little Italy Ocean Beach La Jolla Vista Carrollton, TX We have visited all the locations except the Texas and Vista location. Food: Of course I get the cute CHARACTER BUNS. My go to are the pig and cow. The pig is filled with ground pork and caramelized onions. The cow has ground bbq beef, carrot and shiitake. There are seasonal character buns that I liked such as the panda bear and unicorn filled with ube. My kids like the bunny filled with nutella. I venture out when it comes to the RAMEN BOWL but my favorite is the FLYING PIG it's shoyu sesame tonkotsu broth, topped with pork chashu, brussels sprouts, fried garlic, sesame seeds and scallions. Service: Great, attentive and helpful. Parking: Free parking! It has parking in front of the restaurant. If we are in the area we will be back. Our family really enjoy the food and concept at Harumama. Can't wait to try the other locations. read more

Went here for a quick bite. Storefront and shared lot parking. I've been to Harumama before but at another location so I kind of knew what to expect, and it did not disappoint. Plenty of seating, clean, and attentive staff. Got the chicken buns and mama's fries (loved). Hope to come back for a full meal sometime. read more

Not too busy on a Thursday! Loved the service, sat quick, servers were friendly. Food was great, as always. Glad they have the Ube Panda back, my kid goes bonkers for it. It is small inside a bit dark but light enough to see what you're doing and what you're eating. Overall good experience. read more

I know it's a chain and I'm sure it's the same "Manager" who claims they'll refund our money when they mess up our orders, but I didn't expect it to happen to two different locations in the same month. Ordered take out from Harumama at this location last week and my husband ordered 2 orders of the karaage chicken bao buns. We got home and there weren't any chicken in his bao buns. There was one tiny piece in one of the bao buns that didn't look like chicken. I had to take the chicken out of my ramen to give him some chicken. When my husband called, some terrible girl said "ok, next time we'll put more chicken in the bao buns" and was nearly going to hang up on us. My husband was telling her how angry we are and we want a refund, for messing our food up, yet again! She said to call back tomorrow to get the manager's approval for a refund. Again, no refund in process. Shady way to do business and seriously, who was that on the phone? Talk about low class and no customer service skills. Terrible. We'll be avoiding this place from now on, when we were going here to eat in on a weekly basis. read more

I had such a fantastic experience at Harumama! Honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything you order here--every dish, from the appetizers to the entrees and dessert, was delicious. The standout favorites for me were the bao buns, the ramen, and of course, the adorable character buns. Beyond the amazing food, the service was equally wonderful. A huge shout-out to Joseph, who took such great care of us; he was attentive, kind, and made our meal even better. Thanks Joseph!! I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Poke bowls - these are huge with a ton of toppings, maybe even too much of the tempura bits. I honestly think this is not bad value for how much you get. Chicken buns - very cute and fun. Wrapper is nice and soft, but overall the bun lacked flavor. The chicken bun is supposed to have cheese, but I couldn't detect any cheese flavor - you definitely need to douse it in the sauce they provide. read more

We had the best experience here thanks to Anh who is an amazing server and was running everything here all by herself. I had a previous review about a prior experience at a different harumama where they got our order wrong and our kids ended without the Nutella bunnies. They've been asking about it since (a year ago). When I saw there was a harumama 10 min from where we were staying we had to check it out. Came at 1 pm, it was decently busy but we were seated quickly. All the food was amazing. We started with edamame and the cow beef buns, delicious. We got a combo including beef bulgogi udon, chicken/salmon teriyaki, and several rolls. Everything was fresh and yummy. Bunny buns came out quickly and were well received. So happy we now have Bunny bun redemption thanks to Anh. She was running the show all by herself and was so nice, efficient and helpful. read more

Harumama Ramen + Sushi - Encinitas - Bunny bun redemption!! - Ramen Near Me - Encinitas, California

One of the best ramen and udons I've had in San Diego! We ordered the pork potstickers, the Haru ramen, and the bulgogi beef udon. It was hard to decide which soup was the winner; both noodles had excellent texture and were perfectly cooked. I normally don't finish my broths, but here I couldnt get enough. The Haru had a delicious, creamy tonkotsu broth that was both comforting and satisfying. The chicken was flavorfull and generously portioned. I was especially surprised by the bulgogi beef udon. The broth was irresistible; slightly sweet yet packed with bold flavors. The generous portion of beef made the dish hearty and filling. The potstickers were the hf weakest link, but only because the soups were truly outstanding. I saw adhacent tables ordering the Boa... I will be back to also give these a try. read more

I've heard about this spot from so many people and so glad I finally got the opportunity to try it out! I got the salmon poke bowl and it was the best poke bowl I've had in a long time! The portion and price is unbeatable! The salmon was fresh and the rice cooked just right! I love seaweed salad and this bowl has tons! The sauce was delicious! My coworker got the Flying Pig ramen bowl that looked absolutely amazing! I wish I would have snapped a pic but I was too busy enjoying my poke bowl! I had the spicy edamame appetizer and they were so good I couldn't stop eating them! Service was excellent and the restaurant super clean and spacious! The parking lot was pretty busy on a Friday afternoon for lunch and parking is tight, but if you can find a spot and don't mind driving around a few minutes it's worth it! read more

Traditional with a twist. Love coming to Harumama anytime we are in the San Diego area. It was our first time coming to this location. We had the vegan ramen, corn cheese and the bulgogi fries as well as the mama's French fries. The vegan ramen was just okay. Corn cheese and Bulgogi fries were delicious. Only issue was they ran out of cheese for the bulgogi fries. Without the cheese it just felt like fries on top of bulgogi, nothing to tie the dish together. For desert we had the cute bunny Nutella buns and their special polar bear buns with pistachio and matcha. These were so yummy, a great way to end the meal. Service was friendly. Restaurant was on the smaller side but had plenty of seating during a weeknight at around 5. read more

Great restaurants for both parents and kids. My kids loved the fried rice with chicken and the bulgogi udon noodle soup. It's also great for parents - we enjoyed the poke bowl. The buns were interesting...my kids liked it but I would pass. Definitely would come back read more

This is a fusion ramen shop and everything was delicious! I got the Flying pig and it was a creamy broth with roasted brussel sprouts that gave the ramen a smoky flavor. My boyfriend got the Me So Hot which had a peanutty creamy broth and it was on the spicier side. This wasn't authentic ramen but it was great. We also got the buns and the pig bun was a little dry but the cow bun was delicious. It came with a Yuzu sauce that was sweet and paired well. read more

Lots of parking. No wait on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of seating available. Ate inside, service was great! My restaurant indulgence is takoyaki and this one disappointed. Not crispy, very little octopus, moist batter. My no fail order for the little ones is chicken katsu and Ramen so I ordered the crispy chickie ramen. These kids never fail to surprise me. They ate one bite of their chicken and noped it out of their lives. They at least ate half of their Ramen. When asked for how many thumbs up, they gave no thumbs and said never again. So brutal. read more

The food is excellent with a great depth of flavor! We had Me So Hot, High Noon, and the Chicken ramen, and they were all delicious! They were kind to separate all the toppings for my son too. We also had the chicken, cow, and pig buns. They were almost too cute to eat! The bun is soft and the fillings were flavorful. Ambience is great! Loved their music of choice (90s RnB). Not too crowded and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent! Joseph was very attentive, helpful, kind, and patient with all my questions and requests. Thank you! Parking was plentiful too. Highly recommend this place! Would definitely go here again. read more

On our way back to OC and found this place to check out their ramen and their cute buns! It wasn't too busy when we walked in and we were greeted right away and got seated. Our server was really informative about their menu and friendly. We ordered the cow, chick and unicorn character buns. The unicorn which is Ube was our favorite! Our kids got the katsu plate and was plenty for them to share! They ate the whole thing and it was very good juicy and crispy too!my husband and I shared the haru ramen with extra protein and it was delicious! We'll definitely be back next time to try out their other dishes! read more

My partner and I were spending a couple days out in Encinitas and of course I wake up sick! Ramen will always make me feel better so I am so happy I found this gem! I ordered the veggie egg rolls as a starter and they tasted delicious, only they were just a tad bit too greasy. The garden party ramen with the me so hot broth was perfection with all the veg and tofu! I had gotten the ramen and roll combo so I also got to try the spicy tuna roll which was fresh and delicious too! They also had a non alcoholic Shirley temple sparkling drink that was fun and tasty! I took my order to go so I didn't get to experience sitting down but it looked very cozy and comfy in the back. The front receptionist was very friendly and attentive to my needs while I was waiting for my food to come out as well. I would definitely check this place out! Worth it!! I will be back when in town again! read more

I have been to this Harumama Encinitas location several times. I always look forward to the cute character buns. Family favorites! But their noodle selections always fall short for some reason. Ordered the bulgogi udon to-go last night, and the beef was so fatty, it was inedible. I have ordered other ramen before and still think other ramen places are better. Also had both Power Protein Poke and Superhero Poke and both are delicious. Wish they had more fish in their poke though. Restaurant is located in small strip mall, casual dining. Service can be mixed (I have had aloof server to very friendly one). read more

I ordered teriyaki chicken bowl for takeout. The chicken was just plain grilled chicken seasoned with lots of salt. It sat on a very watery bed of mushy vegetables. The entire takeout tasted nothing of teriyaki. Luckily, I had paid for extra teriyaki sauce, which saved me from dumping the whole order. I could have cooked a better meal than that. I like Harumama in Carlsbad, but not this one in Encinitas. read more

A great spot for a lunch in Encinitas. The location is a strip mall but they've done a nice job with a clean and nicely set up dining area. The bao buns were excellent - we shared a selection along with the huge Bulgogi fries plate my buddy wanted, and split the Flying Pig ramen - both delicious. A cold Kirin beer did the trick. So much more on the menu to keep you coming back and the service was friendly and efficient. Still a worthwhile bet nice work Harumama read more

Delicious ramen and buns! Dropped by on a Saturday for lunch and our table of 5 was seated immediately. Service was fast, and they even had chopstick trainers and a plastic cup for our toddler daughter. The restaurant is small and cozy. The pork belly bao buns are a burst of flavor from the fluffy bun, the juicy pork belly, sweet & sour pickles, and crunchy onion crisps! Ramen here is not your traditional Japanese ramen, but they do a great job of blending fusion flavors with delicious broth and chewy noodles. The character buns are very tasty but the price is slightly steep for how small they are. We enjoyed nutella bunnies and ube unicorns. They were a delightful end to our meal! read more

We have been to Harumama Noodles for dinner a few times now and its perfect place for a causal and relaxed meal out. Its family friendly and has a lively vibe. We absolutely love their flavorful ramens and those cute character bao buns! For appetizers, the karaage chicken is a must-try - basically delicious chicken tenders. But I have to say, the takoyaki octopus appetizer wasn't my favorite. The texture and flavors just didn't click for me. My husband enjoyed their steak and rice entree on our last visit. I'm aiming to try one of the noodle dishes next time, drunken noodles look especially enticing. Service is quick, they don't have a dedicated kid's menu but plenty of suitable dishes to pick from for the little ones. read more
