The ramen soup didn't make sense to me in traditional sense. But I couldn't stop drinking it. It's weird but it worked. But soup didn't pack a punch like thick Tonkotsu broth, yet it had a very deep flavor. I liked that. And I have a thing for thick noodles with bean sprouts for the contrast in the texture every bite. I tried this place when it was there in Clairemont when it first opened many years ago. That place didn't leave any impression on me. But this ramen. It is memorable. read more

It sucks writing this review because I have been coming here for years and ordering takeout at least once a month if not twice. So often that the staff even knew me by my name anytime I placed a take away order. But this time around I had to called place an order, which normally I do so online, and they told me I had an order placed that was never picked up and paid for. It came to me as a shock because the order they are referring to I remember trying to place online, and it gave me an error message saying the time was incorrect because they weren't taking anymore online orders. So of course I just left it because I've seen that message before when you order around 1:40pm. Now they are saying I can no longer place orders because that tab was unpaid for. Even after explaining to them that the order was never confirmed on my end and that it gave me that message that it couldn't be placed, they still weren't willing to let me place anymore orders. Being a loyal customer for years and taking family and friends here, it makes me upset because they clearly don't value the loyal customers they have. I believe it was just a misunderstanding and an error through their system, but they're placing fault on me regardless. Due to that I can no longer recommend this restaurant and will no longer be doing business here. read more

I wasn't a fan of this unfortunately. The miso broth was super fatty, and when I took it home it coagulated in the fridge which I haven't had happen before. The portion of pork belly was small too. I'll try it again with a different broth and see if it's better. 3 stars because the garlic edamame was delicious. servers were super nice and I liked the vibe of the restaurant. read more

Ramen Ryoma is a great spot and definitely a good bang for your buck. The food is really good, and I also like that they offer beer and wine. Overall, I had a great experience with the food and would recommend the place. The only thing I would disagree with is the billing system. Our group had the bill divided among three checks, but the server never double-checked who ordered what. Some items were added to checks for people who didn't order them. I think the restaurant could improve this by assigning a table number and keeping better track of each person's orders. Before splitting the bill, the server should also confirm with the table who ordered each item. That would help prevent incorrect charges and make the checkout process much smoother. read more

Kind of disappointing, this is my go to spot for ramen or any other small eats. Ordered take out and my lava salmon was either not fresh at all or partially cooked. I feel it could've been bagged in a separate bag outside of the hot items. The sashimi has a smoked salmon texture and there's some white around the pieces. read more

I've been to the PB Ryoma multiple times and it is always a hit as far as quality and service. I tried this location for the first time last night after craving late ramen, and still definitely prefer the PB location, however this location's ambiance is really cool. The upstairs bar feels like you're plopped into an anime scene. The service was quick but we did notice some mistakes: The chashu in the ramen was cold despite being in the boiling ramen soup. Despite this, it had great flavor. And we ordered two different kinds of mochi and only got one kind. Nothing that was a huge deal. The garlic edamame was also really good and flavorful. I would return to this location but they did seem less on it than the PB location. read more

This place is actually nice. Service is good. I will say that they do have chicken skewers and chicken karaage(definitely delicious) their plates focus on pork. So I got the curry which doesn't come spicy but they can make it spicy for you but I was not able to substitute for chicken it would be only pork or vegatable. It was still delicious just as vegatable. They have two sizes available, the small size is a good amount. So I definitely liked that I was given the rundown when I asked about substitutions and what not. Also their prices are amazing and the quality of food is very good. I would definitely come back to eat here. read more

This place has the best vegetable rolls we have ever had. The sushi was simple, but packed with so much flavor. The basic ramen was good. The nigori sake was good as well.

Amazing dine in experience! Mana and Noel were so friendly and accommodating!

I love the chill ambience of the restaurant and it's a place where I would definitely visit again! read more

i love their ramen. we get their ramen often! never had a problem. today my husband wanted ramen but i got sushi and omg. ALL of this is terrible from the eel sauce to 'spicy mayo' (doesn't look like it or taste like it) and the sushi is so bad. it's soooo sweet, all of it. the eel sauce taste like pure sugar and maybe a little bit of soy sauce. the sushi itself taste SO sweet which throws me off with sushi so much. all i taste is funnel cake!! it legit taste like a foul funnel cake. don't even get me started on the spicy mayo. that is NOT spicy mayo. i don't know what it is. never getting sushi from here again. they also packaged it terrible. they put hot soup liquid on top of the sauce containers and the top of the Plastic containers melted. the soup lid also wasn't on good and it spilled out into the bag and my husband was like whatever and literally poured it from out the bag so he could still eat his soup. he did Not tilt it- the lid was not on fully. terribly disappointed. so so bad sushi read more

Great spot for late night eats! We came around 2am after a night out and ordered ramen, takoyaki, and the pride special Wagyu beef nigiri. Our favorite item was actually the Wagyu beef nigiri! Tender meat with wasabi over rice that melted in our mouths. The takoyaki was standard and took awhile to be served as it was an appetizer, however not bad for the area. The ramen noodles were cooked well with a nice chew and a decent portion size for the value. read more

I think what puts this experience as a four star rather than a 3 star is the service. I was in a party of five people and we were sat upstairs in one of the booths, which was quite intimate and private. Our view overlooked downstairs bar area. Our server was exceptional. She was the right balance of funny and engaging while also not overbearing. She gave us recommendations, she explained all the foods it was just overall delight being served be her. I went with the killer spicy and super sized it. I thought it was hot but not spicy until half way through. Perhaps I didn't mix it well. I went with the miso broth. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table to share. The gyoza, the jalapeño poppers, the veggie spring rolls and one item off their speciality menu which I can't remember what it's called. All were fine. We were all starving so it was well worth it. Others ordered the Chashu, Negi, Ma-yu ramen. All tasted pretty solid minus the Ma-yu. I didn't care for that one at all. Maybe it was the Shoyu broth. Not the greatest of areas to park although on this Sunday night at 5pm it wasn't half bad. We all found parking about a 7 minute walk away. Reasonably priced which also makes me feel like I'll come back again sooner rather than later! read more

Ramen Ryoma - The best water ever must try - Ramen Near Me - San Diego, California

Ramen Ryoma always caught my eye while driving through Hillcrest (glass building; cool aesthetic) and so was finally able to go on a Saturday night. They serve 3 types of broth (Miso, Shio, and Shoyu) with the menu listings being slightly different depending on what toppings you want in your ramen. The first thing I noticed was how affordable everything was! All of their ramen prices range from $11-16 which is great. We started with the chicken karaage which was a nice appetizer. Juicy and moist, a solid start to the meal. The main star of the meal was definitely the Corn Butter Miso Ramen. After asking the waitress what is the best broth with the Corn Butter, she recommended the Miso and she was definitely right! The creaminess and overall flavor was hard to match and we really loved this ramen. I also got the Delux Ramen with the Shoyu (soy) broth. This was also very good and a bit more on the savory-side. I personally don't get Shoyu often and so this was definitely a nice change of pace. The one thing that really disappointed me was the egg in my ramen. It was definitely not jammy/gooey but it was somewhat cooked through. I doubt this is their intention since that's not how ramen eggs should be but once I took a bite I knew that it wasn't right. All in all this is definitely a place I would add to my ramen rotation! read more

The food was unique and flavorful. They also have a great variety. I would absolutely order food from here again.

The noodles in the Ramen are firm and al dente, which hold its body for eating next day. I opted for the non-spicy 2 piece fried chicken and it was delicious because it was fresh. The chicken was not dry nor was it over fried. I ate mine plain with no sauce, glad I did as it didn't disappoint. Lots of craft beer to choose from, local and imported. We sat upstairs and with airflow, this spot was idea for large groups to sit at bar or big tables especially with a bar upstairs! We had sake, beer and water with our meal! We chose to come here because of the clean beer, lines, the good reviews about the food and The restaurant stays open late. Unfortunately, no pictures were taken this time because I was hungry and I just didn't want to take a picture of an empty bowl. We will be coming back as we are a big fan of their noodles. read more

The food here is great. Good portions for the price you pay while still having a notable amount of variety. The service here is also great. My server (whose name I can't remember, but she's really pretty and had white eyeliner) was easy to talk to and the rest of the staff have a good energy. Speaking of which, the ambiance is quite nice. It is a quiet reprieve from the nearby nightlife, so definitely come here before going out or after. If you happen to catch them before they close, of course! The only reason one star was removed was because of the transaction issue at the end of our visit. For some reason, my credit card payment did not go through. I figure it's the transaction system or POS they're using because my other card worked fine. Now I have to monitor both accounts to make sure the payment is posted in the correct account with the correct amount. I hope this is something that is resolved in the future because I know I will be back, for sure! read more

Was looking for a late night meal and was really craving ramen. Ramen Ryoma was open a lot later than most so I had to go! I got the Shoyu ramen. It was a hit salty for me but I still ate it all and drank the broth lol. It's addicting. The inside is pretty cool and there was a small bar upstairs that's cute. Service was really good. They kept up with Japanese tradition there and I really liked our waitress. If I'm ever craving ramen again late at night I'm going here. read more

First time here with my fiancé and we both loved our dining experience. Music taste was great (early 2000s, a person who knows music ) and the ambience was superb. Ramen was very filling, I ordered the deluxe ramen with shoyu (RECOMMEND). However, my favorite dish had to be "green mussels". I've never had mussels prepared like that so to my surprise it tasted excellent! Definitely worth coming back and not to mention, the prices did not hurt the bank! read more

Only ramen shop open really late at night so my friend and I decided to stop by. I thought the prices seemed really good until the food came out. The portions sizes are really small. The fact that I finished my ramen and had no leftovers never happens. Started with some Spicy Garlic Edamame and a Tiger Roll. Edamame was fine, but not spicy at all. The tiger roll was horrible. There was no flavor to it whatsoever other than the eel sauce as it was drenched in it making it incredibly sweet tasting. Tiger roll is normally my favorite sushi roll to get, so this was very disappointing. I let the server know after we had already paid (so I obviously wasn't asking for it to be comped) and she couldn't care less with the look and attitude she gave me. I got the Miso Chashu Ramen with an egg. The best part about the ramen was the chashu for sure. It had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The broth was the worst part of the ramen. If you had told me it was just water, I would've believed it with how it tasted. Thankfully we got some sriracha to add in or I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Not worth coming here even when it's the only place open. read more

This has been my go to spot for many years. I've put so many people onto this restaurant. I love this place but after my experience today I don't know if I'll be returning. I placed an order on DoorDash on 5/3/26 at around 11pm. I ordered the Killer Spicy Ramen and the Vegetarian Lover roll. I'm a person who loves sauce and doesn't mind paying extra for some. I seen there wasn't an option to pay for an eel sauce. So after I placed my order I gave the restaurant a call. I asked them if they can give me eel sauce with my order. A boy picked up, said yes and that he'll charge me extra for it on his end through DoorDash and I said okay. Excellent service and personality btw. Few minutes later, I get a call from the restaurant. A girl, with horrible customer service. She said: "we can't charge you on our end, so we can't give you the eel sauce." I said ok and hung up. She didn't try to fix the issue, wasn't apologetic whatsoever. A good server would've said, "I'm sorry but for some reason the app won't let me charge you on our end, so I unfortunately can't give you the eel sauce. I'm so sorry!" If I had gotten that response, I probably wouldn't even be writing this review. Sometimes it's about the way you come off that will make people react differently. I checked through the app on DoorDash, seen that there wasn't an option to pay for a side of the eel sauce. That is not my fault you guys don't have someone to professionally SET UP YOUR MENU ON DOORDASH CORRECTLY. I made sure to scan through the ENTIRE menu and there wasn't an option. So I clicked on a random roll, seen that you're able to request for sauces for 25 cents. But they only had that OPTION FOR CERTAIN ROLLS. Not the one I ordered. Like I said, not my fault you guys can't properly set up a correct menu system. I called back explained to the girl that other rolls were able to add an additional sauce for an extra charge but the roll I wanted. She said that there's a a section specifically for sauces. I told her, NO THERES NOT. I just checked. She puts me on hold for five minutes and said "hold on a second so I can show you". Mind you, she was wrong. Just like I said, if I just checked, why are you still trying to prove to me that you're still WRONG. She then said she will see if she can contact the DoorDash delivery guy to charge me instead through the app. At this point it seemed like she just wanted to be right instead of getting a paying customer what they want. I've spent so much money here and they couldn't even give up a 25 cent eel sauce is crazy to me. Not that I'm expecting anything for free, but I know other restaurants would've just gave it instead of just trying to prove a point, making this into a hassle and keeping me on hold wasting the both of our times when they are in the wrong for not having a correct system set up through DoorDash. Please find better servers or waiters, this is bad for business. I would've been fine not getting the sauce but it's the service that did it as well. DO BETTER RAMEN RYOMA. Update: just got my order. THEY EVEN FORGOT THE 1PC CHASHU THAT COMES WITH THE RAMEN. You guys suck so bad. Can't do your job right. You went to lengths to fight over an eel sauce that I wasn't able to pay for thru DoorDash bc you guys didn't have that option only to not even give me what I paid for that comes with my ramen?! Yes. Never coming back, and also telling everyone else NOT TO EITHER. Save your money! read more

They say they close at 2Am on Saturday but they closed before 130 am. This was not the posted hours.

The worst ramen I've ever had. Taste like they cleaned the Restaurant and put all the burnt shit they could into the bowl. Instantly spit it out and called them aide I was so pissed. Worked all day and was ready for a good meal and tasted I was eating all the burnt shit you scrape off a grill. I called and they said that's how it is and how I ordered it. lol I ordered something you can't even eat. I have no idea how they are still allowed to be in business. Seems like someone was having a bad night and took it out on my bowl or ramen. read more

We won't be back. For $30 plus tip, we expected more from this ramen. I like that they're open late, as I got off of work late this night. We did to go, but quality shouldn't suffer at all. To start, the broth seemed to be water and miso paste, very salty. The pork was tender, but had a large amount of fat. The noodles weren't good, they needed to be cooked longer. The worst part was the egg. It wasn't jammy at all. Actually, it was almost hard boiled. The center of the egg could've been used to make egg salad, it was that overcooked. Normally ramen eggs are jammy and soft, almost runny. The outside of the egg had dents in it, seemed it was overcooked and someone had trouble removing the shell. I asked if chili oil was available, they said it would be a $5 charge to get enough for both ramen. The menu is large, I don't mind spending money, but it's annoying when they nickel and dime you over small items. The restaurant is large and bright, I don't imagine that you'll ever have to wait here at any time of day. We won't be back. Menya Ultra and Hinotez are way better than this spot. The best part of the ramen were the bean sprouts. I didn't enjoy the food at all, I cooked myself some dumplings from my freezer right after this. Good luck finding parking. read more
