Two-Level Hub for Sushi and Ramen Lands in Hillcrest | Eater San Diego

"I visited the new two-story Hillcrest spot from Portland-area transplant Ramen Ryoma, which arrived in San Diego in 2017 and already operates noodle shops in Kearny Mesa and Pacific Beach. The restaurant blends Ramen Ryoma with owner Yoshinari Ichise’s other Japanese eateries in Las Vegas, offering Ryoma’s signature Sapporo-style ramen with a miso broth base as well as shio and shoyu varieties, alongside izakaya-style small plates such as takoyaki, gyoza, and chicken karaage. The menu also features sashimi, nigiri, specialty sushi rolls and fusion dishes like truffle scallop and uni, and seared tuna with red onion and garlic chips. The 2,800-square-foot glassed-in space houses the ramen bar on the first floor and a lofted sushi and beer bar upstairs with 20 craft beers on tap; it’s open daily for lunch and dinner and stays open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays." - Candice Woo
