Ramen Ryoma Expands to Pacific Beach | Eater San Diego

"I learned that Ramen Ryoma has opened its second San Diego outpost on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach and that at least three locations are planned for the city; the shop joins a Kearny Mesa location that debuted last summer and an original branch in Beaverton, Oregon. Chef/owner Yoshinari Ichise is hosting a grand opening event on January 19 and 20 at both the Kearny Mesa and Pacific Beach locations offering half-price ramen. The Garnet Avenue shop operates Monday through Saturday from noon to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m., and features a signature Sapporo-style ramen that combines a miso base with a pork bone broth, as well as shio and shoyu varieties; each ramen comes with hand-massaged noodles designed to retain their texture in hot soup and pork chashu that’s boiled in soup stock for five hours before being soaked in the restaurant’s original “Tare” sauce. Other menu items include Japanese-style sausages cooked in a beer bath, rice bowls, buns, and snacks ranging from takoyaki to fried chicken karaage. Ichise also says a 2,800-square-foot Hillcrest location with a second-floor loft and sake bar is scheduled to open on University Avenue in May." - Candice Woo
