Absolutely delicious and owners and staff are kind and attentive. We came on Saturday evening and they had a talented singer performing. The ambiance is great for a first date/ date night. The menu has so many options. We got the garlic edamame and a plate and a bowl and the serving sizes are generous. The food is flavored well and the ingredients are fresh. Stop by and support this delicious small business. Also, LOVE the Studio Ghibli art
When I first moved into the city of Oceanside, I lived in an apartment complex on Grove Rd. While doing a search for Asian cuisine in the area, I came across Wu Lan Ramen and after my visit, I had to write a review! For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.
It smells like restaurants on Oahu. I can't explain what that means, but I got a meaningful whiff that brought me right to Oahu, haha. Not any other Hawaiian island, lol. It wasn't the best ramen I've ever had, but it satisfied the inexplicable ramen craving I have been experiencing when I tax my brain for hours on end. Another big pro is that they have chicken ramen options, which I always appreciate. I don't typically love ramen, so definitely take my assessment with a grain of salt. I do love a draft Japanese beer though, so I can definitely attest to that!
Stopped in for a quick dinner. Ordered Wulan Chicken Ramen at the counter. Found a seat at table in their casual dining area. Food was brought to the table by the friendly professional staff. Ramen was a large bowl of yumminess with copious amounts of chicken. Recommended to friends & family and anyone looking for a wholesome meal in just one bowl.
The food was amazing and reasonably priced. It was served promptly and they were so nice! I'll definitely be coming back here.
This is one of my favorite places to come for a yummy vegan ramen in North SD county! The noodles are always soft and chewy, just the way I like them. They are generous with their vegetable portions, and the broth is very easy on the palette. :) I accompanied my ramen with a drink and appetizer. The garlic edamame was a good portion, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the sweetness in the sauce used. As for the POG juice, it was perfect! Would definitely recommend it.
Worth the wait!!! I ordered the chicken wulan app~ delish!!! My bro ordered the chicken teriyaki plate and it's enough for 2!!! But for him? A piece of cake.:) I had the ribeye teriyaki bowl cooked to perfection!! I enjoyed my large hot sake listening to reggae!! Good vibes:) Take me home!!
First time here and man was it good! The garlic edamame was delicious! Such a wonderful garlic flavor! The place is reminiscent of many great small restaurants in San Francisco! We really enjoyed the great service and delicious sushi! Gotta get back here again soon as the menu is pretty rich with great choices of food for everyone in your group!
The service here was so quick! I liked the vibe of this restaurant too. Tried the black knight ramen which was definitely the better one. The Hot Chick was good, a bit too spicy for me and the broth could've been hotter (temperature-wise) but all the ingredients were good in it! The cuts of chicken were more dark meat and I would've preferred white personally but still a yummy ramen!
Update 4/25: It genuinely makes me a little sad to write this, because I used to absolutely adore Wulan , it's right down the street from my house and the Ghibli references inside make it feel so special and charming! But the last two visits have been pretty disappointing, and I feel like honesty is actually the kindest thing I can offer here. The service has slipped noticeably ...tables sat with stacks of dishes, not enough staff on the floor and the food quality has followed. Brown lettuce in my salad, the corn potato salad being sold out, Katsu that was overcooked and dry. That's really hard to overlook, especially when a bowl of ramen is running $16 to $20 and there are solid alternatives like Beshock and Gonzo nearby. That said, the ramen itself is still genuinely good! If you're going purely for ramen and can let the rest slide, it's still one of the better spots around. I'm just rooting for them to bounce back, because I really, truly want to love this place again the way I used to!
Honestly just amazing service and food. Without a doubt this place has never let me down thank you for always having the best environment.
I've visited several times now and it never disappoints. The ramen is always my go to. Recently, I was excited to see they've expanded their sushi menu, and it's definitely worth exploring. I tried the spicy tuna roll and the Hawaiian crunch roll. The new sushi options add a whole different layer to the experience, making it just as fun to come for rolls as it is for ramen. Between the consistently great ramen and the fresh sushi menu, this has become one of my favorite spots to keep coming back to.

What a fantastic find! I recently relocated to a different part of Oceanside and discovered this restaurant on Yelp after getting my oil changed nearby. I'm so glad we decided to give it a try. We have several anime fans in our household, so it was exciting to recognize all the characters displayed throughout the restaurant. The kids loved them too! We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and every staff member was incredibly kind and attentive. After ordering at the counter, we took our number and found a slightly wonky--but charming and sturdy--solid-wood table. Different movies were playing on the TVs, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. We ordered sushi and ramen, and my ramen was exquisite. I believe it was called the Dark Knight, and it was absolutely delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Orion beer on draft. Having lived in Okinawa, where the brewery is based, it was wonderfully nostalgic and added another layer of authenticity to the experience. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and we'll definitely be dining here again. They also advertise special events inside the restaurant. I don't remember the details, but I'll be sure to check them out during our next visit! read more

Had the vegan ramen with the creamy broth and my friend had the shrimp ramen. Pretty good portion size. About 20/ person Really liked that the soup base was not over salty but still flavorful. Liked that there was a plenty of other ingredients like 4 large triangular pieces of tofu as well as a piece of seaweed and some other type of vegetable/ fern/ seaweed in the meal. Owner was friendly and accommodating. 5 percent courtesy if you pay by cash. Also, has a loyalty rewards program. You pay and order at the counter ahead of time. Parking is a little hard to find. Most of the parking in the small parking area is marked 20 min so had to park by the 24 hr fitness gym parking lot. read more

I'm new to Oceansides from LA and in search of a new ramen spot. I got the Wu Lan Ramen in hopes of that creamy Tonkotsu pork broth with those deep umami undertones. It came out looking great but I was somewhat saddened by the broth. Instead of creamy and rich, it felt watered down and lacked that flavorful salty note. Positives: Bamboo shoots, egg, and noodles were yummy Room for improvement: Broth. My chashu was mostly fat and did not have a lot of actual meat. With the char, I expected to bite into something flavored and salted with soy, but it was very bland, tough, and fatty. I really wanted this to work out, but the broth needs more love. The broth is one of the main reasons why I crave ramen read more

The place is clean, food is great! Service is fantastic, I forgot our server's name but my mom only drinks hot water and she made sure my mom gets it. All three of us had their famous ramen and it didn't disappoint. Thank you, Wu Lan Ramen! read more
Cozy ambience. Incredible experience. Owners obviously care very deeply about ensuring their customers feel seen and taken care of. So sweet and everyone was lovey and attentive. Our food was incredible, we both got miso hot ramen and gyoza. Possibly the best miso I've had. We were passing through on a FB marketplace run and got lucky we stopped here. 10/10!!! read more

We were greeted as we entered this establishment. The staff was warm. The food was not bad. I enjoyed the broth of the Hot Chic ramen. It could've used some lemon. I thought the place could use a good cleaning, but again not too bad. read more

I've been coming here a lot recently and have finally decided to write them a well-deserved review. Wu Lan has a very warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and patient. You get a good amount of food for the price, especially during happy hour. Not gonna lie, I did not trust this ramen place to make other types of food well, but they have the best takoyaki I've had, their sushi is surprisingly good too, and my go-to nowadays is their teriyaki ribeye plate. Speaking of, I've ordered that teriyaki ribeye plate maybe 6 times now and every single time it's been cooked perfectly with some pink in the middle which is especially impressive considering it's a thinner steak. The smoky and charred flavors balance well alongside the teriyaki sauce which complements the steak and rice instead of overpowering it. The steak sits on a bed of rice (really well cooked and fluffy every time) and comes with miso soup, corn salad, and potato salad. All for $19. So worth it. Oh yeah, and of course their ramen's good too. Personally I'm just not a big ramen or soup kinda guy so I gravitate toward the rest of their menu. And to keep things feeling a bit less biased, I'll mention one menu item I don't like all too much. Their pork bao bun which I've had on 3 occasions is kind of like a shredded/pulled pork that's really dry. The rest of the flavors on it are fine, but I'm used to pork belly bao buns which tend to be a lot juicier. Probably not the most fair comparison since they're technically two different items, but either way I'm not the biggest fan of that one. Anyway, if you're debating trying out this spot, I'd highly recommend it. Their menu is diverse yet concise, and they seem very consistent in both their service and food quality. Chances are, you'll have a good time here :) read more

Food (5/5 stars): I've been sleeping on Wu Lan Ramen Tap House in Oceanside! They have a wide variety of ramen to choose from, and I went with the Black Knight because I love black sesame oil. The broth was rich and garlicky and the chashu was fatty and charred to perfection. I also tried the broth for the spicy vegan ramen and it blew me away. I'm definitely coming back here! Experience (/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: minimal on a Saturday night for a party of 2 * Service: very good and friendly. They gave great recommendations! * Parking: the lot is small and can get packed * Ambiance: I love all the decorations! read more

This restaurant never disappoints. We have been dining here for the past few years and never had bad experience. From atmosphere, service to food, everything is very good. Our favourite starter here is tokoyaki. This Japanese snack is cooked perfectly. The balls are brushed with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise, and then sprinkled with green laver and shavings of dried bonito. Our other favourite is pan fried vegetables gyoza. Nice and soft with a bit of Cranach from frying. Ramens are great too. The broth is always well balanced with right amount of seasoning. Toppings, noodles and meats going into the soup are equally good and flavoursome. I would recommend to visit this restaurant if you are in for ramen or Japanese plate of food. read more
