I really liked the experience of having a little wait, bowls were served quick and hot. The bowl i had exploded with flavor and paired it with a sweet matcha drink. The waiters were very helpful in recommendations and attentive to our needs while we were there.

My husband and I have had hit-or-miss experiences with ramen before, but this one was a definite hit! The Vegan Tofu Spicy Ramen was absolutely delicious—the broth had the perfect depth of flavor with just the right amount of spice, the tofu was well-marinated, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. We also tried the edamame, which was fresh and seasoned just right. A truly satisfying meal—we’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Nishiki Ramen 🍜 I tried the Garlic Tonkotsu, and it was incredible. The broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of garlic to add depth without overpowering the dish. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and every bite was a burst of umami goodness. It’s hands down one of the best ramen bowls I’ve ever had. If you're a ramen lover, Nishiki Ramen is a must-visit—especially for that Garlic Tonkotsu! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The ramen at this place is fantastic. Might be the best I've had in the U.S. Try the GGG., you won't regret it.

The options for vegan/vegetarian people are more than any other place. Must try!!! The service is okayish but ramen is good when you are sick and need home cooked food vibes with soul.

Service was quick, very friendly staff, and the food was very good. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the automatic 15% service fee (tip) added to the tab. Tips, while expected by servers in the U.S. should still be in control of the consumer, not an automatic add-on. Having just returned from Japan, where tips are actually offensive, servers there pride themselves in their attention to patrons and welcome a sincere thank you over a tip. Perhaps there is something more to this that should be addressed in the U.S.?

Ordered the #1, its was super richy garlicky creamy ramen. There is always a wait time but once you are seated the service is pretty fast. But be AWARE you will get charged a 15% tip (even though that’s kind of illegal in California 👀)

First time eating at this Ramen place, and I gotta say, the food was Delicious!! The ramen had tons of flavor and they were perfectly made, they were not over crowded with toppings. Even the kids menu was awesome, it comes with ramen, chicken tenders, fries, and a creamy drink. The only downside was the cleanliness of the restaurant near the bathroom section. While waiting in line to use the restroom, that whole section is filthy, the walls are extremely dirty, like if they have not been cleaned in years, including the floor.

The restaurant has a decent number of tables. Parking is alright during weekdays. The ramen noodles in general are good (broth, noodles) but very little pork meat. Food portion is good. My only complaint is we waited too long (30 min from the time we ordered) for 4 bowls of ramen noodles and also the automatic 15% gratuity on top of each bill.

Very good food indeed I must say. Service very good indeed I must say. ambience very good indeed

Best Ramen in town but overpriced. I can go to AYCE Korean BBQ for this price! Very good ring of chriasu though

Not the best workers, waited longer to be served because the seating staff continued talking to one another while staring at us.

Located right off balboa Ave in of course Kearny Mesa, this ramen spot has 2 spots in San Diego. The decor was a basic fast food place, no Japanese style type decor. Of course I ordered the takoyak…

Ramen is good. Cornes are little bit cool, but noodles are good. I don't recommend Japanese people Gyoza because it is Americanized. This is fried rather than burned. Taste like a frozen Gyoza. Of course, it's good but it's not Japanese Gyoza.

Great service! Kind workers! The only thing that needs work is the timing in which the employees approach! Every time I am eating I'm always with a mouth full of food and that's the only time I get…

Japanese review: Bad food, presentation, and service. (mandatory 15% tip) Went in at little after noon on Tuesday. Ordered 2 bowls of ramen. It took about 40 minutes to get our food. It was not pack or busy by any means. The waiter took our order to the table next to us who came in about 20 minutes after us and realized it want theirs so brought it to us without any apologies. Couldn't even pronounce their own menu item, Gyokai Ramen, correctly. Gyokai soup was okay. The noodle was described as "thick" but medium thickness at best and was overcooked. Nishiki was even worse. The noodle was way overcooked, and disproportionate to the amount of the soup. The soup lacked body and umami from the broth and unnecessary corn got in the way of ramen enjoyment. The place would not last a month in Japan. I would not come back here again. Go to Ultra. The fact that their "specials" aren't ramen tells you.

Oily to the point of disgusting. I cannot believe this place has such high ratings. I order the number 1 item on the menu and they basically just gave me a bowl of oil with some soup. See picture. Not to mention it took 20 minutes for the food to get here when restaurant wasn’t even full. No efficiency, automatic tip, and the worst bowl of ramen ever. I’m speechless

Ordered to go. Came home and was missing the extra items I paid for. Egg, pork, etc. When I called, they don’t even answer the phone. Upsetting. The food is good. But they aren’t very organized. An extra $15 wasted.

Worst Ramen Experience I’ve Ever Had We came here because of the many reviews, but everything was disappointing. We were denied a booth for being a party of two, yet other two-person groups were seated in booths before and after us. The food was even worse. Out of three appetizers and their “No.1 ramen” the only decent item was the French fries. The broth wasn’t hot, had no depth, and tasted cheaper than instant ramen. They also add a mandatory 15% service charge, even though the service was basic with no refills. Paying $77.08 for this meal was unacceptable. This was honestly the worst ramen I’ve ever had.

I went there last night, and the experience was honestly disappointing. I asked for a booth, and the staff told me they were saving it for a larger group. Fine — I understood. But then another group came in after me, and they were given that exact booth. So what was the point of turning me down? On top of that, my boyfriend’s ramen broth wasn’t even hot. And the 15% service fee? I work in the service industry, so I’m okay with it. What I’m not okay with is getting poor service and still being forced to pay it. If you’re taking 15%, the least you can do is treat customers properly. With over 2,000 reviews, I expected much better. This was my first time at Nishiki Ramen, and it will likely be my last at this location. I hope other branches take service more seriously.
