Ramen Ryoma - San Diego

I came home from Japan and finally tasted what real Japanese ramen tastes like. I had the shoyu in Japan and it was suprisingly umami filled and very rich yet seemingly low fat. When I came back to San Diego I had a tonkotsu ramen and was not pleased because it tasted like luke-warm butter. I tried shoyu here and was amazed about how delicious it was! It was the most authentic and delicious Japanese shoyu I have ever had in San Diego! I can't wait to come back here; I been craving it again recently! ?

Amazing ramen! Really good place in Hillcrest on University. Cool inside up and downstairs. Nice patio area. Good beer selection. Nice sushi. Ramen is wonderful.

The food is not bad, which is why I’m not rating them lower. However, with a party of 6 they did an added gratuity, which is totally fine. But what wasn’t fine was the horrible service that you’re mandated to pay for. Our server never once checked on us, I had to yell across the room for water because it was never filled up, and she charged us for ponzu sauce when I’ve never been charged for ponzu sauce at any other sushi restaurant I’ve eaten at. I was also charged for 3 extra garlic sauces that I didn’t know were an extra charge, one of which came with the chicken. And I was also charged extra for tempura addition, which is fine, but it was a whole $3.50 for one shrimp. That’s pretty absurd.Manager was unapologetic. Servers are not the best. Food is decent. Watch your bill, they will overcharge.

We walked in and instead of being greeted, the hostess turned her back on us and spoke into her headset and then rudely motioned for us to go upstairs.she did not say a word to us. Once we were seated, the music was so loud we could not hear our conversation. We walked out and no one seemed to care.

Unfortunately I have to rate this a one star the ramen I had was good but my husbands fried chicken order never made it to our table . The server was a young girl and seemed apologetic but it’s sad to say we won’t be back.Bad service !
