WOWOWOW!! Okay so to…read morestart, I have been searching for real, authentic ramen since we moved from Japan. I actually think I may have found it! The style of the restaurant is so peaceful and quaint - personally it is exactly what I want when I am craving a nice warm bowl of ramen. The best surprise about this place though came on their menu - CRISPY RICE!!! The flavor of the tuna was extraordinary, it melted in my mouth like butter it was just insane. The shoyu ramen is flavorful, the meat is tender, and the noodles are cooked perfectly. It is a must to add the garlic and spicy sauce on the side - for no extra charge might I add! The tonkotsu was also delicious, I simply prefer the thinner broth!

They have a great happy-hour menu that offers small bites such as gyoza and spicy tuna crispy rice. I have never tried the ramen here but it looks so good.

Got a orion beer & sake for $16 We had a larger group & they were fast with the food & checked on us for drinks several times. We were visiting from out town but apparently they had a katsu ramen that lots of people liked but its no longer available I got some sushi My boyfriend got the sesame ramen. They were helpful w his allergies & made sure his food was allergen free It was fairly quiet that evening not alot of diners. The restaurant itself had some nice decor. I enjoyed the wall describing the sake

We all got the Jubilee special meal for $29 since it was a great deal for a variety of food. I chose the following dishes and enjoyed them all, and had a good amount as leftovers! Matcha green tea float (2/5): matcha was flavorless and not sweet, even with the green tea ice cream mixed in. The ice cream was good though Garlic Edamame (5/5): garlicky and a nice crisp Chicken Karaage (5/5): juicy and flavorful, spicy mayo has a kick California Roll (3/5): your average California roll Tonkotsu ramen (4/5): broth was flavorful and i thought the mochi noodles were bouncy and cooked perfectly. Chasiu was good but a little fatty

5 Stars! Had an…read moreamazing meal at Rakiraki Ramen in Kearny Mesa! We ordered sushi, the lollipop chicken, and two different ramen bowls, and everything was outstanding. The lollipop chicken was a perfect appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the presentation was great. As for the ramen, both bowls were packed with flavor. The broth was rich and savory, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. What I love about Rakiraki is the consistency. Every time I come here, the food is excellent and the service is friendly. Whether you're craving ramen, sushi, or appetizers, they've got something for everyone. Overall, an amazing dining experience and easily one of my favorite spots in San Diego. Highly recommend!

After my first visit here almost 2 years ago, the Paitan Ramen has been on my mind and there has…read morebeen nothing that has come close to this experience with this particular broth. It is absolutely fantastically amazing. Maybe that's too much use of describing words, but I could actually say more. Paitan broth is a very interesting broth. It is a rich, creamy, and opaque Japanese soup base, most commonly made from chicken (tori paitan). I understand that the preparation takes a lot of time with painstaking patience to create and ultimately serve this particular broth. Marufuku does it right! The Ramen noodles that they use and the toppings that they add just enhance the already amazing taste, and depth of the soup itself. I also like that you can choose your spice level and they also have options to add other additions to truly make this your own Ramen experience. They have other dining choices as well, such as the chicken Katsu Bento, which stands very highly on its own, and I would order that again. Crisp and flavorful chicken, fried to perfection served along with rice, vegetables, and gyoza, even a little corn on the cob, so cute! The service has been excellent with each visit and the staff even spent a little time chatting with us, which was very nice. I also love that this location is within the beautiful setting of the Skydeck. They have their own special, unique ambience, architecture, and lighting to make this just an exemplary experience. I cannot wait to return and I hope I have some time left on this particular trip to come back. In any case, I will be back soon.

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.

The interior is a little small but the staff are sweet and pretty attentive. As for the food, we really like their noodles! Not too soggy or firm and we loved how it wasn't too thick. The chashu wasn't my favorite but the pieces are big. I got the standard tonkotsu ramen with chef recommendations and we also got the bonito fish king special which we liked but it was a bit salty. The portions are on the smaller side but it was enough for us to feel content. Karaage was also great. Would come again!

Ramen Nagi has my alliance, the broth was exquisite, and the experience of customizing everything in a paper sheet without the long line as in Marugame, made everything faster and less cumbersome. Our servers knew where we were seating and were fast and courteous, ambiance was great they had vintage video game background music, and some others that made the moment quirky and fun.

We were there 15 minutes before they opened. Although, we were eighth in line, we were seated first since no one else was around. Once we were seated, our server came around and took our order for drinks and appetizer. We started with seaweed salad, fried gyoza, and tuna carpaccio. The tuna carpaccio was delicious and I loved the garlic. I wanted to order everything on the menu, but was sold on the rolls. I ordered the spicy hamachi roll and the cherry blossom roll, which was recommended by the server. Both rolls were the freshest sushi I've had in a long time. The flavors were perfect and they weren't flashy rolls. They were classic rolls that showcased the fish so well. The service was incredible, everyone was so friendly and I really enjoyed the whole experience. I can't wait to come back, especially on a colder day to try their ramen!
