    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!

    Deluxe Ryoma Ramen and Trio Bowl
    Hannah B.

    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.

    Karaage
    Marcus C.

    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.

    Cool statue

    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.

    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.

    Garlic edamame Spicy miso ramen lives
    Shannon D.

    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!!

    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.

    Miso is as advertised... In shop crafted and super delicious!
    Ed J.

    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.

    This is their ramen - not worth the time or the money, especially when served in plastic.
    Nathan S.

    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.

    Are any of their broths vegetarian? The vegetable ramen appears to still have the pork-based broth?

    Vegetable broth is an option, made from soy milk and miso.

You feel like you're in Tokyo. Alas, right before COVID social media blew it up and now there is always a line and a wait, I'm sure the business is happy but I miss my local late night after work izikaya. None the less. I still frequent as much as possible. The wait is the biggest deterrent if I'm hungry hungry. I'd suggest, especially if a party bigger than 2, showing up early to put your name on the list. The decor- classic traditional izikaya, if you've been to Japan, you know. Beer, sake, and tons of options for small plates and sushi to share, and of course some amazing ramen. Service- we've always had great service here, the staff is Japanese so for those looking for the "American" style service, may be a bit off putting. No large smiles and how is your day, it's more what would you like to eat and let me get it for you. The food, the food always brings me back. Jelly fish salad- always a must to start Negi Hama - we ordered 2 this time to share cause it was so good Hamachi Kama- because duh, it was perfectly cooked and tasted AMAZING!! Player 2 got the Hakata ramen and I got the Shoyu. I always go back and forth, honestly you can't go wrong with either. If you like the thicker more rich broth though I'd say stick with the Hakata.

Love that you get to see the chefs cook (grill) in front you at the bar. Their menu is simple which I say is always a good thing. Unfortunately there were a couple of skewers I wasn't fond of- like the beef tongue. Listen, I've had beef tongue prepared in a variety of ways including yakitori style, but this one just wasn't up to par... The tongue still tasted like tongue. I know that sounds weird, but it's like they didn't clean it very well- which in turn made it taste & smell like part of the cow still and I am not down with that. Also, the chicken thigh wasn't as cooked as I thought it would be... Maybe it's suppose to be prepared that way? IDK. That was also a no for me. The highlights were everything else! It's cute that they keep the bone in when you order the chicken wing. It's butterflied on the skewer, different. Loved all the pork items we got as well as the beef skewers. Their takoyaki [$7.50] was super good too! Skewers range from $3.75 to $7.00 each with 3-4 pcs a skewer. Everyone that helped us was friendly! Big parking lot and the restaurant was nicely kept. The ice cream dessert topped us off in such a good way. We'll be back to try more skewers and more of their menu.

A note: Previously, this restaurant had been my favorite in San Diego and one of my favorite sushi restaurants overall. I made reservations a month out and was looking forward to this meal, bringing my daughter for her first time. We ordered and it seemed to take forever, and three other groups who arrived after us got their meals. Ok. We are patient. Then our meal came. For $130, we were supposed to get a certain number of pieces of fish. The first thing we notices is the deep fried small barramundi fish in the center, which I guess was supposed to be 8 pieces of fish since it was cut in 8 tiny pieces. We had ordered this piece as an appetizer in the past. It is ok, but it is not shashimi! Other pieces were cut small so it brought up the count I guess. We don't normally complain, as we generally never return is such a thing happens, but my mellow wife complained and we got two additional orders of yellowtail, slices very thin so you could almost wee thru them. The kind you get at all you can eat buffets. This is all the chef's fault, thinking we were schmucks perhaps or maybe he ran out of fish. To the Maitre D's and the waitresses benefit, they tried with the extra fish and a free dessert, and we tipped well, as we always do, but we will never return and we will let the many people who we referred over the years know. If you want sushi the quality of a buffet, go to Aduki.
