Hands down THE best ramen I've had in SD, I liked it better than Menya or Nishiki. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the poor lighting in the bathroom

It’s a nice place to hangout I just hope they can offer more convenient form of ordering for take out. You need to order and pay before getting seated which is fine but I hope the tip comes after service so people knows how much to give. Food is good and price is reasonable. Other than the ordering and tipping process this place is a must try! ❌Online order ❌Ordering Process ✔️Free Parking ✔️Convenient Operating Hours ✔️Convenient Form of Payment ✔️Cozy Place to hangout

Strictly speaking about the Ramen. Oh man I'm addicted to this place. The ramen is soooo delicious. Ramen can vary from place to place. However this specific place I really enjoy the texture of the noodles. The broth is excellent & they give you some pretty awesome add on choices for obviously an extra price but worth it.

Food was great, service slow, atmosphere shabbier than pictured.

The atmosphere was causal and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. Service was quick and efficient. The tables were very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. We got a little bit of everything and enjoyed all of it. I would maybe go back again. Not really my style of food and parking is challenging. They do have items to fit most people's tastes. The cocktail's were beautiful and creative. The ice in my drink made it hard to drink. It was like hail. Very tasty though.

We tried two ramens one pork broth and one market veggie and both were okay, nothing to write home about. The veggie ramen could use a lot more flavor it’s very much a water broth, it was lackluster if it wasn’t for the rain ramen probably wouldn’t have been our first pick. We had a cucumber salad that was fairly bland also little to no sauce not dressing. The spicy edamame was okay. Service was better than the food.

I like the vibe of the place but the ramen was underwhelming. The broths were not flavorful (maybe with salt and black pepper) and I felt some of the toppings could have been cooked through more. The gluten free noodles were good though. Kind of expensive pours of beer. Would rather go to a different ramen place next time.

Somewhat medicare food with tepid staff. Strangely, not very good. The sausages are delicious! The ramen almost tastes like instant ramen- just not great. The staff seemed put out when asked for anything, like every patron is a bother to them. The food was mostly fresh, just not great.

I brought a friend here for her birthday because I came here a few years back and it was good. Well it wasn't good this time. Food was disappointing. The ramen has an overpowering smokey flavor (not a compliment)and it was so greasy. The noodles felt slimy and greasy. We also ordered chicken wings. The chicken wasn't cooked enough, should have been crispier. We were having to bite through the soft rubbery chicken skin. The staff was nice and checked on us often. The Ube margarita was good. I was disappointed that her birthday dinner wasn't better. We should have went to Tajima Ramen it is way better IMO.

Great food, Bad food handling practices. We noticed the young man the hair bun and with out gloves, was placing food items into a bowl with his bare hands, while others used gloves, and he walked around the kitchen touching other items.

Ordered the short rib bun which admittedly was one of the better buns I’ve tried recently. The farmers market ramen lacked layered flavors resulting in a forgettable end product. The kimchi was alright and the chicken confit ramen was decent but not desirable. The atmosphere and service were great but overall I found the establishment unremarkable.

Food was ready suspiciously quick(within the first 5 minutes of being seated). I ordered the “belly of the beast ramen”, the oxtail felt and tasted as if it had just been heated up, the dumplings were still a bit cold in the middle. Other than that the food was filling.

We sat at the bar expecting to have a couple of drinks, but the service completely missed the mark. Our food arrived before the kombucha we ordered, and the bartender never checked in, even when my drink was clearly empty. The frustrating part is that the food here is consistently excellent every time I’ve eaten here, which makes the lack of basic bar service even more disappointing. Great kitchen, absolutely terrible service on this visit.

This place used to be way better. Ordered takeout and got the tiger curry ramen. Portion was WAY smaller! They only give you half an egg now. Paid an extra $1 for half extra egg. Only two shrimp! I can get two meals off hot pot takeout. Lesson learned. Will not be going back.

Great environment but the staff here definitely need some help with preserving taste. This was the worst ramen I've ever tasted , and the after taste I'm experiencing is definitely evident of the cross contamination taking place between cleaning agents and food preparation. The cook is cleaning as he goes which is great-- HOWEVER, not once did he change his gloves— again, I can LITERALLY taste the cross contamination of whatever cleaning solution or santizer that they use. Also the meat in the belly of the beast ramen tasted I had tasted spoiled as if it hadn't been rotated out. One star because the lingering disgusting aftertaste is and the manager not seeming to care. I literally told her and she said, “I’ve ever heard that before.” CRAZY WORK. Do not waste your money here.

Underbelly used to be so good. Just went recent and I noticed that they are now being stingy with portion sizes and protein amount. We ordered the belly of the beast ramen and it only came with 2 small pieces or pork belly 2 dumplings and half and egg. Prices increased but you’re getting less. Do better. Also, tipping before service makes no sense because outside of them bringing you the food they offer nothing else. Not even bringing water.

Our ramen was no good wasn’t even hot it was warm it had a fly in it. All they said was sorry and took the bowl with them
