The ramen hit the spot on a chilly night and had a nice rich flavor without being heavy as well as the takoyaki. I had walked in 30 minutes before closing and they were so kind to get it to me in under ten minutes. I will be returning soon to try out some of the other food options. read more

Great location! Located right next to the oxnard marina it has beautiful views and a great place for a scenic walk with your dog. Okay food. I ordered the chashu ramen which did have a generous serving of 5 pieces of pork. But omg they were so TOUGH. It felt like I was chewing forever. I think leaving the pork in the broth longer made them less tough but wow, that was a jaw workout. I was surprised that the ramen didn't come with the usual beansprouts and bamboo shoots but each place is different. I was a little annoyed to pay $2 to add them on additionally but I understand that some people may not like those things in ramen so it is an overall good idea to charge separately. Okay service. My friend and I didn't order any drinks, just had water. But it was a hassle to get a refill. I had asked twice and made multiple attempts to move my empty cup to a more strategic location to signal for water. But eventually my friend just got up and asked for me. I'm all for a fun workplace environment as long as it isnt distracting from actual work responsibilities. read more

Delicious Ramen on a rainy night. We picked the won-ton Ramen with spicy miso sauce, that was not very spicy and quite tasty. They had a good selection of sushi. Everything we tried was good and fresh. The place is not fancy at all. The service was excellent despite the fact that it was pretty busy and one server (Ariana?) handled everything including a stream of Door Hub/Grub dash orders. She was hopping! She warned us that the food could take awhile but it wasn't too long until we were eating. You can't beat cold beer and steaming noodles on a blustery New Year's Eve. We will be back. read more

What do you have on a cold day in Oxnard? Well, ramen of course. And Suisen Ramen is a great place to satisfy that ramen and sushi craving. The restaurant itself was smaller than we anticipated. But there was still plenty of seating and our group of 8 was seated immediately at the bar. My wife and I shared the chashu ramen with miso broth and a deluxe sushi. And our friend had a chirashi bowl. The ramen broth was delicious. And there was generous portion of chashu pork. Really hit the spot. The sushi was good. Loved the nigiri. Didn't love the spicy tuna rolls as much. Overall, the food was great, the staff was friendly and nice. Definitely recommend the ramen. And the sushi was fresh. read more

I love this place. I really adore broth. It's just incredible. I get it with thin Ramen and I love having my lunch there looking out on the water one of the benefits of being in Ventura the wait staff is friendly and they actually remember what I like to eat which is amazing. I wouldn't expect that from anyone. I really recommend this place and hope you love it as much as I do. read more

The food was great and the service was wonderful! Great cozy atmosphere. Food arrived quickly,

I've been going to this place since it was called kitanoya , the food is absolutely phenomenal, my favorite ramen place in all of Ventura, the service and the chefs are hands down the best , and the place is always so clean and so peaceful just looks great, and if you don't want ramen they have an amazing sashimi salad and great sushi, thank you for the amazing food everytime read more

Vegas roll - this was FANTASTIC. I think this is easily the best vegas roll I've ever had. I was obsessed!!!! Volcano roll - . I did not like it but my husband did. It was very different from what we're used to. Sashimi - so fresh and delicious. Like WOW. They are definitely tied with Banzai Marina when it comes to sashimi. Garlic bomb Ramen - this was surprisingly not my favorite. The broth did not have enough rich flavor and tasted watered down, so unfortunately this was a miss. Noodles themselves were good Karaage - delicious and authentic! Staff was very nice and food came out quickly. Though there were some misses, I'd be happy to come here again for sushi read more

My favorite ramen spot. I don't eat out but when I do, this is my spot. It's a cute little restaurant in the harbor but I usually do take out. Get the spicy garlic bomb ramen with a side of fried chicken and spicy garlic edamame. It is good for your soul. Sushi looks good just haven't tried it yet. read more

My go to place for garlic edamame. The service is always friendly and pretty quick. It's a smaller seating area inside but being next to the marina it's outside seating is super cute but also kinda cold depending on the time of day. read more

What a cute little place with a waterfront rear end. We've been here at least 5 times. My wife has a thing for Ramen and she says all the ramen she's tried here is of high quality and portion size. They also have excellent sushi rolls and will make you any favorite custom roll you love from elsewhere, even better when made here. The raw fish sushi is also extra fresh tasting. Service could use another server but you still get your order fairly quick. read more

Wonton ramen with shoyu broth-everything was good, aside from the wontons. We're too chewy. Vegetable ramen with spicy miso broth- good, I should've got a level 2 instead of 1. 1 just has a slight kick. Golden sushi roll- was okay. read more

I recommend the sushi since its always fresh and flavorful. The ramen could improve on the flavor, I got the tonkotsu base. It was still good, nonetheless. I will continue getting ramen and sushi at this place. It's the closest ramen you can find near base. read more

Suisen Ramen is OK. My experience was a solid "B-" letter grade. I had the Garlic Bomb Ramen. The spicy Miso broth was very good, and flavorful. The ramen noodles done just right. However, the chashu was terrible, tough almost inedible, finished about one third of it. My dining partner had a bento box. Again decent, the lettuce in the salad was past it's prime and dressing overly sweet. Otherwise, it was good enough. The service was decent, but there was only one waitperson and she was doing her best, but the place was very busy. Also, it took over almost forty minutes to get our order. The dinner area is also decent, clean, neat and given the small space well laid out. I can't honestly say that I'd go back, but I can't say I would object if I was with some folks that wanted to go. So I'll stick with my solid "B-" grade. It's overall decent. read more

I had really high hopes for this ramen restaurant but it just didn't do it for me. There were some pros and cons about the quality of the food. We got the koi and fried chicken ramen. I specifically asked if the chefs can make the noodles more firm. Although the employee understood and wrote it down, the noodles still came out pretty soft :( we got both of the ramens with Tonkatsu broth. I was sort of disappointed in the broth. Although it was nice and hot, it didn't have that rich, thick texture that Tonkatsu broth usually has. The Koi ramen pork slices were also too thick and were not as tender. It also had a freezer taste to it which was not pleasant. The pros were that the eggs were cooked perfectly and the fried chicken that came with the ramen was very crispy, juicy, and had a great flavor. Overall, it's a pretty mid ramen restaurant. I just was expecting more but it fell short in regard to food. The employees were really nice but the food itself is 3 stars. read more

Came in as a party of 1 sat the bar right away. Ordered a hot tea and got my drink right away. The ramen I went with was the Chashu Ramen and I added wontons. I got the base of spicy meso at a level 8. I find it off that levels are from 1-20 yet 8 is spicy? Anyway the wontons seem like it was all wonton with no meat at all. I think these can use improvements. Other than that the flavor was great and portion was well worth it. $27 for a part of 1 with a 25% tip. read more

This is our GoTo place for a nice quiet Thursday night dinner. Love the food, the staff and location.

Not a fan of their sushi, but the ramen is great!! I've only ordered takeout but the inside of the restaurant looks very nice.

So I've been here before when it was called Kitanoya and I honestly wasn't a huge fan. I heard there was a name change so I figured tonight was a great night to check them out. We decided to grab the seats at the sushi bar especially since it was wide open for us ! We ordered: Spicy tuna tempura roll wasn't bad but wasn't great . There was way too thick of a tempura layer for our liking . The flavors weren't too bad tho. Not too sweet either which was good. Salmon belly sushi (seared per our request) was magnificent! I love a perfect sear and this was on point. 5/5 Ono sushi was good. 4/5 Scallop sushi was great. Giant scallops were just the right tenderness and flavor. 5/5 Yellowtail belly sushi was oooohhhhh soooo gooood! The buttery flavor had my taste buds dancing for joy ! 5/5 Toro sushi was ok didn't have the melting in my mouth effect that I was hoping for at $14 for an order. I was really disappointed but now I know to ask for old toro and not new for my liking . I learned that tonight from Kevin, one of the owners . (Thank you Kevin!) 3/5 Found out it's still the same owners minus one. Kevin mentioned they changed up a few things and so far the sushi has gotten better so I'm interested to see if the ramen has gotten better . So I'll definitely be back some time soon ! read more

When anyone asks for a ramen bowl. Suisen is my #1 recommendation. The consistency of hot, spicy miso, flavorful ramen is par to none. I had the kindest waitress, Theresa, and she saved me from a possible ulcer as I was about to order a level 10 spice . Tip. A level 5 is plenty spicy. It's a very nice place with a casual vibe. The location is beautiful because you can walk right out the back door and enjoy the lovely Channel Islands harbor view. If the weather permits, you can even eat outside, which is such a great option to have. Perfect spot for a date night. read more

This place is very nearby the Port Hueneme Navy Base and convenient to do quick lunches. Service: We arrived and were seated immediately. The waitress handed us nice menus with pictures. Our beverage and food came out very quickly (within 10 minutes). Food: Their ramen portions are larger than most ramen shops. The spicy broth is good and the slices of meat were cooked well. The noodles were okay, probably prepackaged. The broth look hot, but my first of the soup was a little disappointing because it was not as hot as I was expecting. I actually wanted to return it so they can reheat it, but most of the bowl was warm, so I didn't mention it. My colleague liked the temperature of his soup. Both of our sides were good, but the put a little too much mayo on my takoyaki. Venue: very clean and nice decor. There is one tv in the restaurant and you can view it if you sit at the bar. Parking was easy, too. All in all, this is a good ramen shop, especially if you only have 1 hr for a lunch break. Try out the spicy broths because it's not too spicy. read more

I spent $65 on this experience--would you? "Bad" doesn't even begin to describe it. The ramen broth tasted like watered-down bouillon cubes, lacking depth and flavor. There's no 48-hour broth to be found here. The noodles had an unpleasant eggy undertone, and the excessive green onion felt like a desperate attempt to distract from the absence of meaningful toppings. As for the Tsukemen--dipping ramen should have a rich, thick broth so that it can cost your noodles when dipped, but this was more like watery soup. The consistency of the broth was like of diarrhea of someone on a cleanse. The tempura was the only saving grace. But was it actually good, or just a relief from the disaster that was the ramen? Hard to say. read more

Used to be Kitanoya. Fast service! Ordered to go and the ramen was ready very fast. Delicious ramen still going strong. The rich Tonkotsu broth with extra chashu was just what I needed after a hard day, and the refreshing yuzu drink tasted like a super tangy lemon meringue pie. Clean and well ventilated inside, and peaceful outdoor seating in the back. Highly recommend for a relaxing and wholesome meal. read more

I got the Fried Chicken with spicy miso, and regular noodle. The portions are big! I was unable to finish but good thing is I have lunch tomorrow. Yay! My fiancé got the Koi Ramen with spicy miso and regular noodle. He also ordered more spice. The levels are 1-20. But we didn't add extra spice at first. It was a tad spicy but not burning. Then we added more spice. Service was great and fast! The ambiance was okay. Well it was nice after 24 hours stopped their workout as their group room is right next to this place so I was able to hear their music. Other than that which is out of their control it was great! Would return! read more

Garlic Tonakatsu with Chashu out of balance the garlic was way to overpowering to the broth and ingredient ratio. Spicy tuna roll is the sauce blinded any flavor the sushi attempted to have. Service staff seemed overwhelmed and unsure of how to wait despite best efforts. Had to ask for multiple items to be able to enjoy a very lackluster meal. read more

Great Ramen, even to go! They packed the ramen components separately so it was still fresh when I got home.

Just recently moved to the area and my husband loves ramen. We had a great place where we used to live and were afraid we wouldn't find one here. But Suisen is amazing! He loves that he can select the noodles, broth and heat. Try the wonton ramen....sooooo good! read more

Just went today looking for a nice Ramen place while visiting Ventura overnight the day before Super Bowl. Found this on Yelp even though Waze keeps directing me to another one which is nearby very bizarre. Anyways, It was a long thin narrow restaurant not a single seat was open and they were busy with uber orders. I sat down at the bar and ordered the ramen dish with fried chicken and thin noodles. The Miso broth was very good love the thinly slivered green onions and bamboo mushrooms. It's a giant bowl of cup of noodles without the cancer or at least most of it LOL. The Fried Chicken although not bad was hoping for breast pieces instead of mini thigh nuggets which I really ordered because I saw it on the next patron next to me but in retrospect wasn't really necessary the noodles are perfectly fine and a very good portion. Also had a yellowtail hand roll as an appetizer was quite delicious although the seaweed a little chewy . Teresa was my kind server although it did give me the runs and I barely made it back to my hotel room only reason I'm taking off one star LOL else it was pretty bomb.. until I exploded. read more

Another beautiful sunday in Oxnard, and the first thing my hungover hunger is craving is ramen! Slowly became a regular here. Adrianna is always sweet greeting right away. Decided to sit at the bar since I was alone, and had good conversations with chef Kevin. Ordered a Large Asahi beer and he had one as well! Happy to do my part to relieve a little stress on a busy sunday shift! My regular order here is the Garlic Bomb ramen, spicy tonkotsu (pork) broth #2, additional side of noodles and a soy egg. Lunch side of small chashu rice bowl. The staff here is always great and attentive, and the food is always consistently soul warming, which is why I come so often, as the selection of asian restaurants in Ventura County is not very broad, as I work at one of the more dominant ones. They do have outdoor seating through the back of the restaurant which looks over the harbor. Its super busy on the weekends after 2pm and on rainy days. Delivery is available through Grubhub as well. They close around 930 so as a chef as well, I would try to come before 9 to be courteous. Keep up the hard work, everyone! read more

I ordered the Garlic bomb ramen with tonkatsu broth. It had a lot of roasted, and also fresh shaved raw garlic, but it was not too stringent, or overwhelming. It had good amount of green onions also. I liked the savory and flavorful broth along with those sharp ingredients. Some or a couple of the pork pieces were tender, but not all of them. It's prob because it was not part of the pork belly that I'm used to. There's lots of sides you can choose to add in your ramen, and also other Japanese foods, for friends that may want to have something other than ramen. Nice and clean, also a plus! read more
