Ordered some takeout sushi to satisfy a late night craving. Impressed with the rolls. I also ordered the deep fried jalapeño poppers which were pretty good, but the rolls were definitely better. I'd be interested in stopping by the actual restaurant for some ramen next time once the weather cools down read more

We got seated fairly quickly and service was also pretty fast. I'd rate Gyoza 2/5. I didn't feel like they were deep fried enough. Jumbo Karaage was tasty so would rate that 4/5. G Spot roll was our absolute favorite!! Would def go back for that. Lastly, surfer crunch roll was mid. Nothing too special to it. Overall, I'd like to go back to try the ramen next time. It seemed like a lot of the guests around us were mainly ordering that. I'd def go back for the g spot roll and would like to try a different roll instead of the surfer crunch. read more

My favorite ramen spot. I always get the miso ramen, and the staff is super friendly. They also have occasional Wagyu events, which is what keeps me coming back! read more

Had friends staying in town and this was down the street from their hotel making it a really easy dinner spot. We had many different ramens and the trio bowl which was slices of fish over rice. Honestly everything was solid. The spicy ramen is pretty spicy with a late kick to it. And the miso broth is spot on, thick and rich. The only thing is it felt like the wait staff was over it. Our waiter seemed annoyed when we asked questions. The place is nice for a family sit down, but the high tops by the door, the bench seating is quite uncomfortable. The food is solid and would return. read more

Ramen Ryoma - Deluxe Ryoma Ramen and Trio Bowl - Ramen Near Me - San Diego, California

Visited Ramen Ryoma for the first time after hearing glowing recommendations, and the experience was a pleasant spin on a classic ramen night out. Kicked things off with the karaage chicken, which really nailed it, crispy, flavorful, and clearly a must-try on the menu. For the main event, I went with the butter corn ramen in a shoyu broth. It was a smooth and warming bowl, though it didn't quite deliver a standout moment compared to some of the other ramen shops I've tried over the years. Service was friendly and moved at a good pace, keeping the vibe relaxed and comfortable, even if nothing particularly memorable stood out. While I have to admit I've had ramen with a bit more wow factor elsewhere, Ramen Ryoma still offers a cozy atmosphere and satisfying flavors that make it a solid spot for a casual meal. I may not have found my new go-to, but it's a nice option for anyone on the hunt for good comfort food and great fried chicken in town. read more

This has been a staple in Pacific Beach for years. We decided to try some where new and ended up here. The decor is amazing, they even have a male Transformer like statue made of metal(check out the pic!). I ordered the Mayu Tamago Ramen. The roasted garlic was black and made the entire dish taste burnt. It was not edible. My companion ordered the Spicy Ramen and added the roasted garlic and again destroyed the flavor of the dish. We tried the salmon loves lemon roll. It was good but I must say the salmon on top of the roll was paper thin. The best best part of this place is the service! Staff kind and accommodating. Helped us throughout our experience and made all the difference in the world. Five stars for the staff and decor zero for the food. read more

I would eat here every Sunday for 6 years and I still cannot find a comparable broth or perfect thicker noodle that holds a light to Ryoma's. The spicy miso ramen and garlic edamame live rent free in my mind, especially when I try other ramen spots. Please open one in Philadelphia - I'll run it! Best ramen to date - most comparable to Japan I've had The service is also phenomenal there and feels like a welcoming family. Wonderful place to go with a group of friends or solo!! read more

Food was great, service was great, ambiance was great. I would go back in a New York minute.

Enjoyed all my food here: fire cracker sushi, Deluxe Ryoma Ramen, and Mayu Tamago Ramen. Employee was friendly. The staff greet each customer that enters. Ambiance is comfortable, chill, laid back. Found another favorite spot in PB. Would definitely return. read more

I love their chicken karaage here - I think they use thigh meat and it's always so tender. The fire cracker roll has been my favorite roll thus far. The fried CA roll is always a hit - it is best eaten right away. Takoyaki used to be light and delicious but this past delivery order, it felt dense. The trio bowl is a nice mini poke bowl. Not a fancy sushi or the highest quality spot, but service is always fast and friendly. The vibes inside aren't my style but it's fun. Parking in the back. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Not busy but entitled staff still managed to take forever. Overpriced Walmart sushi was our experience. Certainly do not recommend. read more

I never write reviews but this place was amazing! My daughter and I walked up right from the beach and staff was so welcoming. Food was AMAZING. I live 2.5 hours away but will definitely eat here again once in the area. SO FLAVORFUL. You can even SEE the flavor. They even gave my daughter "trainers" for her chopsticks. We've been to many ramen spots, even lived in Japan, and have never seen such thing. 100% recommend! I ordered the spicy ramen with miso broth. The only thing I will say is meat wise they only have pork for the ramen. There is a veggie ramen though if you prefer no meat. read more

I'll start by saying our waitress was the best. We all loved her. My 6-year-old daughter told her how nice she was. The place has a great look and feel. They have a cool giant samurai transformer (which has an interesting male feature). Then there was the food. The salmon lemon roll only had a sliver of salmon. For the price, other places are more generous. We came for the ramen. The ramen tasted burned. Never experienced this in the hundreds of ramen places I've been to. We returned them. We tasted the other 2 broths. They both had no depth. We were very disappointed. read more

I ahve eaten ramen in japan,korea,and a few dozen places around SoCal. Hands down top 3. Noodles were firm, and had good texture. broth was unbelieveable and had a nice roasted flavor with lots of umami. didn't add any soy sauce like I normally do. Drinks and mochi were good too. prices fair, not expensive. Sushi rolls need some work but definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

First off the service was par excellence! Standard Japanese greeting upon entering any reputable ramen shop. I'll say it now... I'm biased towards shoyu ramen and this place delivers. Normally when in town we DoorDash it.... But since we were in PB this time we walked right up. Being from the SGV it's very difficult to find shoyu ramen. Everyone is making tonkotsu. Wife had the miso ramen and I had the shoyu.. Both deluxe style... The chashu was the best we have all had in a long time and the shoyu delivered as always. Same with the miso. As is, this is a must have if you appreciate ramen. read more

Thank you so much Leon! Great service! Amazing food and location! We will come back, Leon took really good care of our group!

My partner and I came here absolutely starving one night. We had ordered takeout from the Hillcrest location before and really enjoyed it, so we had high hopes for this Pacific Beach spot. We ordered the G Spot Roll, a classic ramen, and a chashu bowl. The G Spot Roll was solid. I liked it and the special sauce was flavorful, though a bit heavy. The ramen, unfortunately, was not what I expected. The broth tasted more like a beef stew than a miso base. It reminded me of caldo de res, which is good in its own way but not what I want in ramen. The chashu bowl was also just okay. The pork tasted more charred than braised and lacked the tender, rich flavor I usually look for. The rice was actually really good, and I ended up dipping it into the broth since it gave off those beef stew vibes. On the bright side, the interior here is amazing. I really love the decor. It feels like a fun spot for hanging out with friends or even a lively date night. Service was decent. They checked in on us a few times but nothing particularly standout. read more

Plastic ramen. Was super excited to try this place for the first time ever after passing by this place maybe 100 times. I ordered and left a tip and they actually served this to me in plastic container. This is 100% not Japanese and not authentic Ramen. Avoid this place at all costs. Gross disgusting plastic noodles. Guessing it's very likely there food also has parasites. read more

Ramen Ryoma - This is their ramen - not worth the time or the money, especially when served in plastic. - Ramen Near Me - San Diego, California

Guy was kind upfront. I was literally about to pee myself and wouldn't let me use the restroom because I wasn't a customer (at that moment, I'm a local and go here every now and again) Try the pork belly Ramen. It's delicious. Customer recommendation ;) read more

If you are looking for a solid bowl of ramen, quick service, and fun ambiance this is your spot! I had driven past this spot so many times over the past 5 years and never made the time just because it seemed like a tourist-y spot. Fear not, this place delivers a SOLID bowl of ramen that competes with the best ramen in town (Menya, Nishiki, Hironori, etc). I tried the veggie ramen with fried tofu which was phenomenal. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the soup was next level delicious. I came with a group of 4 and everyone enjoyed their meal. Not to mention, we got sat immediately and were served quick. Would definitely return! read more

Fantastic Friday night outing! I ordered the Miso Deluxe Ramen and it was fantastic: thick noodles, flavorful broth, and a generous amount of toppings. I believe my server's name was Aisha and she was extremely respectful and prompt. All the employees have a positive attitude and the restaurant itself is very clean and well-lit. Thank you guys! read more

Friendly service and good food. Kitchen open late which is hard to find in this neighborhood. Highly suggest

Food was okay. Nothing special. They don't provide utensils if you do delivery or pick up.

Excellent ramen, except they screwed up our beer order and charged us double? They offer free parking but the parking lot was inaccessible because of a street fair. read more

We were craving ramen on our visit to Sam Diego. We had been eating Mexican food for a couple of days. I looked at Yelp and found this place had good reviews. This place is pretty popular. We had to wait about 15 minutes. It was worth the wait. I ordered spicy pork belly ramen with an egg. Usually, the other places give you more broth and less ramen. This place had a good quantity of ramen and a nice balance of broth. The broth was very flavorful. I wish there was more pork belly. Service was great and the ambiance was amazing. read more

Ordered pick up from here the other day and it was waiting for me when I arrived to pick it up 15 minutes after I ordered it. Despite it being very busy in the restaurant I was tended to only a minute after I arrived. The food was hot by the time we opened it 20 minutes later. The ramen itself was good, nothing remarkable compared to what I have had. I ate most of the miso ramen, which was on the saltier side but had good flavor. When the bowl was a quarter full of broth, however, there was a think paste of what I think is miso that was unappetizing. The pork belly appetizer was good had good flavor. It was missing an element of crunch since the lettuce on it was wilted, so it was more soggy than anything. The lava salmon is something I definitely would never order again from here. $14 for the small dish that it was felt like robbery. read more

Stopped here for a late night bite. Totally happy we did. Good food at an affordable price point. Chashu mini bowl was just the right amount. The pork had a flavorful char and rice was moist with light sauce. The Shoyu ramen was also very good with fresh ingredients. Our server was friendly and quick. Place has a unique and lively vibe. Love that it is open late. read more

Stumbled across this place when we qere trying to find a late night eat and we came out pretty satisfied. We went to their PB location around 8:45pm. My one thing I noticed is that parking may be a challenge depending on what time you go. We got lucky and a street spot opened up right in front of the restaurant so we snagged it. Also depending on time, you will have to pay the meter for parking. We also noticed on the next street over that there is a lot, but you may have to pay for that as well so that can be up to your judgement if its pricey or not. Service was great! I enjoyed being greeted by literally everyone the second we walked in. Staff was very patient with us and did a great job at explaining how there menu works. (You pick the type of ramen that you want and then you decide from their choices of broth what you want to add to it). They were constantly checking on us to make sure we were fine, and not in an overwhelming way so that was an A+ for service! The place itself was super cute! It gave a modern japanese vibe with the cherry blossoms and the way the lighting was. There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors so that shouldn't be an issue at all. And overall , the place was super clean and well kept. For appetizers, we had the takoyaki and karaage. The karaage was huge! But I really liked it. There's places where karaage is majority breading and sometimes too greasy but this one was really good. It was really flavorful, not too heavily breaded and really juicy as well. My boyfriend devoured the takoyaki. We enjoyed knowing that it was freshly made and not some frozen instant one they pop in the fryers. I had the corn ramen with miso broth which I really enjoyed! The miso broth was flavorful and not too overwhelmingly salty. The pork was just the right amount of tenderness. The noodles, something was a little off to me, nothing to bad but there was something that could've been better to it. My boyfriend had the deluxe ramen and that thing was huge. Definitely lived up to the deluxe title. He felt like his broth could've complimented his broth a bit more. Overall, we enjoyed this find. It was nice to enjoy some good ramen outside of the Convoy district. We both live pretty far from here but if we're in the area again we wouldn't mind coming back. read more

What a lovely and happy experience we had here... Despite the business we got a seat quickly and got to order quickly too. Our waitress was so nice and helpful! The decor inside is beautiful and overall the place feels spirited and genuine. I love their mural explaining the high quality of their ramen. The ramen noodles were definitely high quality, and the shoyu broth was very rich and flavorful, almost like beef au jus. I had a rice bowl with some excellent salmon. I liked that I could add on generous amounts of seaweed salad, avocado, and masago. The cost of everything, for the standards of San Diego, was very affordable. The music they played was nice and the volume level in the restaurant was comfortable. The cocktails were quite yummy! Excellent meat in the ramen and generous, fresh bean sprout and green onion. I like the little unique aspects of the place, such as the egg salad served with the takoyaki, or the crab mix containing scallops. I look forward to returning! read more

First time and it was a good experience. Surprisingly in our top 3 Ramen places in San diego. Ambiance- in my opinion is quite loud, the background music is high where you can't hardly hear yourself or if you're with someone it's difficult to hear each other. The place needs a renovation as it looks and smells old. This place use to be Jinya Ramen ( which is also our favorite) Food verdict- Deluxe Ramen is good. Broth is flavorful and we choose the miso based. Thick noodles and has that crunch. Highly recommend! The meat melts in your mouth and has a thick cut. I opt out on scallions and bean sprouts. I just wished there's some kind of garlic oil in it, otherwise I loved it. G Spot Sushi- good heaven this is so so good. It truly gave me that " I will return vibe!" The sushi is so fresh, everything blended well. Fish, sauces, filling. I could eat 2 rolls of this at a time, man it hit that G SPOT. Highly recommend this place to anyone lurking by Garnet Avenue in Pacific beach. read more

Ramen Ryoma - Spicy Umami Ramen - Ramen Near Me - San Diego, California

The decor and the service are five star and I just want to make sure that is noted before I write about anything else. The price was great for what you were getting and the right amount of food. If you consider this a location in Pacific Beach it is worth a visit if you want to get your sushi fix and get some pork fix. I will say, even though it is called Ramen Ryoma the Ramen was about 3 1/2 stars. The soup is more light and the style is a different type of broth. So if you are looking for a thicker broth, then I would try a different location. The sushi was great for around $11-$13 for rolls and they were actually really great. The appetizer of the chicken skewers were also really good and the pork over rice was great. For the environment and the price and the service it's a great place to go to. Solid 4 stars. read more

My go to for late nite ramen cravings. Taste exactly the same as the other location up in Portland that I had a chance to try.

Went in excited for ramen and left disappointed. The ramen and edamame were both stale -- not what you expect when you're paying for a fresh bowl. When we brought it up, the manager was rude and refused to make it right. No apology, no refund, nothing. Won't be coming back. read more
