Where to Eat in San Diego During a Weekend Away | Eater

"The first U.S. outpost of this popular Japanese chain may be located in a nondescript strip mall, but Menya Ultra has received a lot of attention despite its humble location. Everything in master ramen chef and owner Takashi Endo’s luscious bowls is handmade in-house — from the chewy, springy, hand-pulled noodles head noodle maker Ryosuske Goto produces daily to the deeply umami tonkotsu, miso, and tantanmen broths and accouterments. Popular starters include Nagoya-style and negi pon fried chicken, which you can wash down with a trio of Societe Brewing Co. beers or sake." - Mary Beth Abate
