    Chashu miso ramen
    Silver V.

    This restaurant was amazing!! The ramen was incredible. Delicious broth with both the chashu and the vegetarian ramen. It is a small but very traditional looking Japanese restaurant with nice tables and chairs. The service was excellent and they are even dog friendly as long as they are under the table. 10/10 we can't wait to come back.

    Pork Buns(2)

    Stopped in for quick lunch and received a friendly greeting. It was slow with no other customers. Got the pork buns which were messy to eat, but were juicy & delicious. The tsukemen was flavorful with a kick. The dipping sauce/broth was a little thinner than expected, but it was delicious, if you're in the area give it a try they've got a pretty big menu.

    Food

    Food is very good they have a very varied menu with good reasonable prices which is nice to see now a days. Atmosphere is nice no blaring music staff were all friendly especially our server Maria.

    Without a doubt -- the best place for ramen! Ramen Ichitaru won me over from the very first visit. The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The noodles are fresh and springy -- exactly how good Japanese ramen should be. The tonkotsu ramen was especially impressive -- absolutely delicious! The fried chicken was incredibly tasty and crispy -- with a golden crust and juicy meat inside. And the shrimp rice was devoured by my child in under five minutes -- the best proof of how good it was! If you're looking for authentic and delicious ramen (and more!) -- this is the place to go. A solid 5 stars, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Glad I didn't read the reviews before coming here! We are new to town and tried this place on a whim. Everything was delicious! We ordered gyoza appetizer and they came out so fast and were probably the best gyoza I've ever had! Ramen soup with pork was 10/10 and my mom loved her chicken teriyaki. Friendly service and clean! Will come back!

    Looks like S, taste like Sh

    First time and last time at this place. WORST ramen I've ever had in my life!!! Food absolutely terrible, 0 stars. Service terrible, 0 stars. Interior, very dirty 0 stars. I got major stomachache from eating here. Ordered a regular miso ramen and the pork buns. The miso ramen was super salty and had no flavor except salt. I asked for the regular tonkatsu broth, and the server didn't even know what that is. Never order from a Ramen place that doesn't even know what the word Tonkatsu means. The Ramen and the pork buns came out and the bun was something you get an discount grocery store where the items have expired six months ago, and not at all fresh. The noodles or worse. Absolutely taste like trash. Looks like trash also, see photo. I ate a few bites and throw the rest away, and I was starving. Oh server also got a bad attitude. The interior of the place is absolutely greasy filthy and disgusting. Doesn't look like any cleaning has been done in a long time. Makes one wonder about the cleanliness of the food. Save yourself some money and stomach pain and go to Poke Moon in Encinitas for the best ramen in North County! Even Ichiban chain is significantly better than this place!

Parking is usually pretty easy, and while the restaurant is small, there is both indoor and outdoor seating. One of the best deals is their happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. I especially love their cocktails, and they're even better at happy hour prices. My go to order is the katsu chicken curry ramen. It's so good! I'm also a big fan of the poke bowl and their specialty sushi rolls. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I've consistently had great experiences here. Good food, good drinks, and great service. I'll definitely be back again and again.

But I had also just had ramen a week ago so tried to change it up further by getting the chicken curry ramen. Wanted sushi. Ended up getting something that tasted more like Indian food. Maybe if that's what I was in the mood for I would have enjoyed it. Although I think if I'm craving curry I will just order curry, and not curry-style ramen. I will say that the chicken karaage here is way better than the one at Underbelly. It was softer and juicier. The ramen I ate the other night was Underbelly and the chicken was so dry and tasteless. I don't even know why people hype that place up so much; it's pretty overrated.

We got: - cornbread: 10/10 this was fantastic. Great for 2-4 people. Perfectly balanced flavors and dense. - broccoli: 10/10 I'm not going to lie, I read the reviews about the broccoli, and literally asked my husband if we were going to spend $20 on a whole head of broccoli. I was very skeptical to believe this was actually so good, but it was! The textures are really great; the florets are crunchy and the stem is a soft almost buttery texture. The flavors with the nuts and sauce are fantastic. It's a lot for 2 people, and would be ideal for 4 people to share. - market fish 12/10. The best thing we ate, wow it was so good. Every staff member I asked said this was their favorite dish, so of course, I ordered it. The fish was a steelhead trout. It was cooked perfectly, and the sauce, mushrooms, salmon roe, and kale perfectly complemented the dish. The portion is great! It's 6.5 oz, so easy to share. I would come back just for this. - chicken 8/10. This is a good bbq chicken, but it's just good bbq chicken. Nothing special, but tasty nonetheless. I only had a bite since I'm mostly pescatarian, but my husband gladly ate the whole thing. The dining experience is also great! The ambience is beautiful, but the inside is quite loud. We sat by the open door in the back, which was great. I'd either sit in the back again or try to sit outside because of the noise. The service was spot on. Heads up that they do charge a 4% surcharge, which is also taxed.
