No wait for a ramen place?!?! Sounds weird right?? This place is a hidden gem tucked inside a plaza in Escondido. I can't believe others don't know about this spot! We ordered: -Show you ramen - very authentic and broth was flavorful, noodles are cooked well, meat was tender -Me so hot Ramen - not spicy enough for me but I will get it spicier next time, but everything else was delicious -Takoyaki - one of the best i've ever had and they were big! -Geso karaage + chicken karaage -Pork Gyoza - Home Made Pan Fried Pork Gyoza - YUM!! If you like ramen and hate long lines - GO HERE! Service was A+. Ordering and receiving our food was on-time. Our drinks were refilled when almost empty, and we were checked on regularly. Place is clean, as well as the bathrooms. Will be back soon! SUPPORT LOCAL!!! read more

very surprised to find pretty good ramen in escondido! we came during lunch and were seated right away. we tried the bok choy and a show you ramen. both were really good. the bok choy had a great flavor while the ramen noodles had a great texture. the ramen came with an egg and some veggies. the waiters were super attentive and quick! read more

I got the animal lovers ramen to go with an egg and the service was really fast. I liked how inside they had different baked goods available at the front. My absolute favorite thing about this place was how nicely my to-go order was packaged. The broth was separate from the noodles and toppings so they didn't get soggy and they even packed a ramen spoon. read more

Ramen is 100000/10! Not just the food but service was also incredible. A must if you live or close by Escondido

I went to Ramen Mik as they were newly opened, and I was craving some comfort food. I like spicy so I chose the me so hit Ramen. While the flavor was good, I can't say that it was all that spicy. I even added extra chili oil to it and it took quite a bit before the spice level started to hit. The noodles felt just a tad overdone and the add ins were pretty scarce. I'd have to say overall it was good ramen, not the best I've had, but hit the spot. In Escondido there are not many ramen places anyway, so it's worth going to if you get that craving and dont want to drive to San Diego. I think with them being newly opened they could still be working out some kinks, I'll definitely go back and give them another try. read more

Good food but not worth the cost. Just so so. There are other better Ramen places in Escondido.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Great service. Fun, comfortable and clean decor. Excellent food. We started with the brussel sprouts and octopus balls. Everyone enjoyed them- perfectly prepared. We had the veggie ramen, black ramen, and pork cutlet special. All done extremely well. We are not local but my son is - he's putting it on his regular list! read more

The ramen here was okay. I ordered over the phone and picked up. The restaurant was cute. I had the me so hot ramen and it was spicy and the flavor was okay. I enjoyed that they had great to go containers which separated the noodles from the broth. I've had better ramen. There wasn't much meat and the meat itself lacked flavor. I don't think I'd go back since I've had better ramen elsewhere. I prefer harumama and underbelly. read more

Although the service was average and the dinning area cleanish I wouldn't rave about here. The food was averagely priced for ramen but lacked meat quantity to justify the price. The Ramen its self was ok, again nothing to rave about. But the fact that I got one slice of pork and very limited, if any, vegetables for a whole Raman bowl was very disappointing. For Ramen being in the name of the place I am judging it a bit harsher, since you would think it's the main feature of the restaurant. If the price reflected the qualities I would have just said it was ok Ramen but sadly that wasn't the case. read more

This place is always reliable and never disappoints. Especially Ume cold ramen was insanely delicious!

Wanted to try this place for a while. Came in on a cold windy day. Perfect ramen weather. The place is cute, but small. This won't accommodate big parties. The menu was very simple and a bit limited. We ordered the Me So Delight (with extra veggies) and BST. We got our food about 15 minutes after ordering. The food....Oh boy, where do I start? You get ONE piece of thinly slice chashu that didn't have much flavor. The egg was pretty much a hard boiled egg vs the usual soft boiled. This totally needed to be marinated longer. The veggies. Sighs. I honestly should have ran as soon as I saw stir fried veggies. Like in the veggies you get in chow mein. I ordered mine with extras and that was still a small portion. My bf 9/10 times finishes his and my broth. Yeah, he didn't want to finish the broth at this place. I guess you can't expect much for the price ($15-$16/bowl). But even with that I felt like it was overpriced for what we got. We'll be sticking with our usual. read more

The broth and the meat had no flavor to it. The egg was really the only redeeming factor, was sweet and not too salty like most places. Also had the karaage and it seemed.. undercooked, very pink.. read more

Hands down sooo amazing no being from Japan this place is so authentic and love thenChicken ramen, the fresh homemade pork gyoza, and the Geso, love love love the curry, the staff is soo nice and friendly and truly love love the murals too read more

This is one of my favorite ramen restaurants that I've tried here in Escondido! My boyfriend and I have dined here a few times and the food is always hot and tasty. Today for lunch we ordered the Chicken Karaage and Takoyaki for our appetizer and had the Me So Delight and BST ramen for our mains. We definitely will try more of the items on the menu in the future. Our server was very quick, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is always very clean and has great music playing as well! Would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

The food tasted good but the portion on something for $15 and a missing egg ingredients is disappointing. That was the highlight of my order as I love eggs. This was a to go order so it's not like I could ask them to give me some. The service was fast when we ordered it came out within 10 minutes. The ambiance is clean but a bit warm. read more

Tasty High-quality Ramen. Good choices of different flavors, including the medium spicey "Me so hot ramen". Food quality was excellent, and quantity was good sized, filling us up after a soccer match. Service was attentive and quick, plenty of drinking water too, so we could re-hydrate without having to nag them. Price was fair. read more

The food was delicious, and the service was top notch. I had the pork cutlet curry and an order of the spicy shishito peppers. The curry was tasty and the pork cutlet was fried to golden crispy perfection. The shishito peppers are covered in a sweet / umami sauce (think eel sauce from your local sushi bar). The peppers mild heat paired perfectly with the sauce and there was plenty of it. Finally I got a bowl of Miso Hot Ramen which I knew was going to be overkill but hey why not. The broth was light with just a bit of kick to it. Wouldn't worry about it being too spicy for the more "delicate" palettes out there. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very timely on table turnover. I went around 3pm on a Sunday and it was still pretty busy. I can see this place getting packed during a lunch or dinner rush. All in all, highly recommend checking them out. Side note: the left over half bowl of ramen I couldn't finish, actually reheated nicely and didn't turn the noodles to mush 5 hours later. Kudos read more

Ramen was good, umiboshi onigiri had taste of ume, but no actual umiboshi in the center?? Brussel sprouts rocked. Katsu was crisp and curry was fine- needed a bit more pickle read more

The service here is great and the food came out quickly. I really liked my BST ramen and my husband's Me So Hot ramen was too spicy for me but he enjoyed it. The inside is very clean and the wall mural was cool. read more

Phone doesn't work to order, can only order online through door dash and it's a limited menu at that. It's 2025 guys, get with the program.

Food was very delicious. Good choices on menu and service with a smile. Split the Ramen with a friend along with other dishes.

horrible service. chicken was undercooked so my partner asked to have it removed , three of the waitresses started to gossip and wrote notes to each other about me and my boyfriend as we are sitting in front of them. Wouldn't come back that's for sure. On top that didn't even get to eat my food and payed for something I didn't get to enjoy because of the shitty service read more

Great spice level that doesn't mask the the miso flavor in the broth. Noodles have the right texture and taste great. The egg and pork chasu could be a bit better though. Nice small neighborhood restaurant though. read more

Ramen Mik - Ramen Near Me - Escondido, California

Great service, tasty food, and chill vibes. Portions are slightly smaller than expected so you might want to plan to order an extra dish. Inflation is having everyone charge more for less quantity! Sheesh! read more

The restaurant itself is cute and nicely decorated. They have this really cool mural on the wall when you first come in. But as for the food, I wasn't impressed. I had the tonkotsu pork cutlet and while it was completely fine and edible. It wasn't anything special. The prices were definitely reasonable for everything you get. I also got the gyoza but again, not great. I'd say overall, the food isn't terrible but I wouldn't come back. There's better places for Ramen/Japanese food. Nothing bad to say about the service though, the waitress was kind and very on hand. read more

I love their food and service is always great. One of the lovely server works at another locations and she recognized me, pretty much knew what I wanted. Few ramen places up in North County SD so I am very pleased to have good food to help with my noodle/asian food cravings! read more

This place is a hidden gem in the Escondido area! I know a lot of people like tonkotsu ramen but please come here and try their miso! I tried miso ramen when I went to Hokkaido last year and I think the taste is very similar. The noodles have a good bite, the broth is more complex than a standard miso elsewhere, and there's a lot of toppings already included in the bowl such as an egg, chashu, green onion, cabbage, carrot, grated ginger and I think ground pork. It's very tasty and I'd recommend :) read more

Food was tasty and filling. Try the Show You Ramen . It's so satisfying. Erica, our server was very patient when answering our inquiries regarding items on the menu. She was kind and personable. We've come back a couple more times. read more

Great food and great service! Zarina was my server and she was great and super friendly! It's me and my best friends go-to spot!

I never knew that Ramen Mik in Escondido had such a great selection of Japanese cuisine to choose from. The restaurant was huge and vibrant with many patrons enjoying their meals. I kept seeing plates of sushi, or ramen and drinks being delivered to the tables that whetted my appetite. read more

The food was good and lots of space. Ordered the curry and it was yummy. Will go back.

This place has been on my social media feed for awhile but didn't get a chance to try it since I'm not in North County too often. I happened to be in the area recently though and wanted to check it off my list. I always get the Karaage at ramen places and theirs is definitely up there in quality. Hot and crispy, and the marinade definitely comes through in the meat with a pleasant background ginger flavor. I got the BST (Black Shio Tonkotsu I believe it stands for) ramen which seems to be a special that's been ongoing. I didn't have any expectations when I walked in here but man this is one of the best bowls I've had in SD county, probably in my top 3. The broth was flavorful but not too rich, and the mayu oil was a great compliment. Slice of nice thick chashu, and a WHOLE egg, which was nice to see since many places either only give you half or none at all (you have to add it on). The unique part of their ramen is the addition of stir fried veggies (cabbage and carrots) which add a really nice sweet component to offset the salty broth. My server was very friendly and efficient and place itself is small but clean and welcoming. It's in a strip mall so parking is easy and plentiful. Very glad I came here. Will be back for sure. read more

This was the best ramen I ever had ! I got the me so hot and I think about it once a week. Wish I lived in SD this place is great. My server nearly forgot to seat us down I had to check I'm with her twice but the food is awesome read more

Not sure if this place needs another review but this place is soooo delicious. We were just driving through the area and I spotted a ramen place close to the freeway so it'll be easy for us to eat and continue to our destination. Plenty of parking and easy to find. We walked in on a Saturday at around 11 am and easily found a table for four. Ambience the decor is modern and clean. We were greeted and given menus right away. We tried the geso karaage, chicken ramen, black garlic ramen and the Hokkaido ramen and all were super tasty and fresh. The geso was perfectly fried in fresh oil as some places the squid comes out in a darker brown color. The squid was not overcooked and chewy so my toddler was able to eat it. We inhaled the ramen bowls. Noodles cooked to perfection. Flavors you can tell were all well thought out and put together. Not just meat garnish soup noodles. There was care putting the menu together and even more cooking it. I'd definitely be back if I'm ever in the area to try the other items on the menu. read more

Tried to go to Ramen Mik tonight but the place is a mess tonight . Lots of open tables but the floor was a mess under all the tables . It seemed well staffed but also seemed like no one knew what to do . We got seated but the person working just moved the broom and dust pan to the next table and left it there . There was no organization . read more

Love the food!! We had issues on getting a table for 5 at first and servers just suggested we sit by the bar. Finally got to a table and all was good read more

Stopped in on super hot day, AC nice and cold made for a great ramen day. Ramen was great, noodles were awesome. Staff was quick & friendly. read more

I want to like this place... but in the end it's a Ramen Shop WITHOUT TONKATSU RAMEN... you know the most iconic ramen base known and loved by ramen goers? It's clean and nicely decorated, especially for the location, but we're here for the food and are getting options like "miso ramen" instead? Is there REALLY a larger demand for Miso Ramen than Tonkatsu? Or are they just trying to make something easier rather than quality? And it has nothing to do with those "alternative ramen/no pork/halal ramen" places that don't serve pork for "ethical reasons" as they do serve a "Tonkatsu Pork" cutlet here... which is just tantamount to a pork chop with something called "Tonkatsu Sauce"... and since they don't actually do the process of making a Tonkatsu base here, nor even have any premade, I can only imagine it's just some generic katsu sauce either brought in or commercial from a bottle. Again, everything else about this place was fine... but we come to restaurants for the food, so if it's going to be a disappointment once we taste the ramen, then it's just all downhill from there. read more

We are so happy to have this opened in Escondido. The ramen was so flavorful and delicious! They have a good selection of appetizers, so we ordered the pork dumplings and that was delicious too. The service was quick, fast and easy. The ambiance was modern, and cute. It's very new, open and clean. I highly recommend coming here for authentic Delicious Japanese ramen. read more

Try the "Me So Delight" and you'll be delighted with the decision. You'll enjoy original Hokkaido miso ramen with mixed vegetables, one dashi egg and stir fried umami. My husband ate the "Me So Hot" and the name says it all. The miso ramen included stir friend mixed vegetables, dashi egg, and Mik's original spicy sauce which kicked the soup up another level. We ordered a small bite of the pan fried pork gyoza. Thank you to our kind server Ally for her excellent customer service and friendly demeanor. read more
