Marufuku Ramen

Overall, our visit to Marufuku Ramen was a mixed experience. While the setting in Del Mar Highlands is a total vibe and our server was genuinely kind and attentive, two things significantly impacted our impression. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen – 4.5/5 This was the highlight of the meal. The broth was rich and creamy, the noodles were cooked just right, and the soft-boiled egg was perfectly runny. Truly a standout dish that showcases what Marufuku does best! Seasonal Mazesoba – 2/5 Unfortunately, this was where things fell apart. My husband mentioned it was “too al dente,” but continued eating it (without even enjoying it). When I tried it after he ate 1/3 of it, I realized the noodles weren’t just “too al dente”…they were completely undercooked. It felt like they’d been boiled for half the necessary time. Not only did that ruin the dish, but my husband (who rarely has stomach issues) experienced stomach discomfort after our dinner, likely from the undercooked noodles. We ended up taking the rest home so we can re-cook the noodles ourselves. We also found it strange that the restaurant adds a 4% surcharge “to cover increasing costs.” While we understand rising expenses, it feels odd to pass that cost onto guests I’d definitely return only for the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen, but after the mazesoba incident, I’d hesitate to try anything else on the menu.

I used to absolutely love this place, Marufugu Ramen. Huge portions, low price, great taste. But after the price of the Chicken Paitan DX went up from $18.50 to $21.95, they also added a 4% surcharge to the entire bull “Support the recent increases of food cost and minimum wage". Plus, this is their most recommended dish, the chicken leg and ramen combo is now way too salty today. It's just not as good as before – so I am disappointed

From Phoenix looking for some good ramen and I’m so glad I found this place. It’s located on the second story of a “skydeck” inside of a very nice looking food court. I ordered my ramen medium spicy and it was delicious! I added more chile powder and oil to it. The server Leo was awesome and friendly!

The special chicken that came with the chicken paitan DX ramen was so bland despite the dark color look. It had no flavor whatsoever! They make it sound so special by limiting to only 15 servings a day, and I should have seen it as a red flag when I came in for dinner at 6pm and they hadn’t reached the max servings yet. It’s not even good so not a lot of people are going to buy it. The broth was lukewarm at best. Overall, it was a 4/10. Appetizers and entrees came out almost simultaneously, so we had no time to enjoy the chicken karage (7/10) and takoyaki (6/10 because it was soggy) before the ramen got cold. The Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen was the only highlight of the meal. The chashu pork was very soft and tasty. Broth was flavorful and hot enough to enjoy. 8/10. Service wasn’t good either. The waitress was quick to take our orders and then never really checked on us until I flagged her down for the check. My water glass never got refilled and I had to drink my husband’s water. 3/10. It was a prefix menu for $40/person during restaurant week. Not worth the money. I won’t be back.

Updated review: My 9-year old has been asking me to bring her back here to eat her favorite Ramen. It’s always delicious, always great service, and at the same time no wait - perfect combination. Previous review: I like the chicken ramen from Marufuku a lot. The staff is always very nice, the service is quick and pleasant and the ramen is always yummy. Very kid-friendly. Located in Skydeck, with a proximity to Jimbo’s and various stores and One Paseo - big plus. I always enjoy my meals here - quick, delicious and pleasant.

Located within a food hall with live DJ. Cool vibes. We had squid legs Geso Fry🦵 and Marufuku bites. We also had the Hakata medium spice Ramen and spices TanTan Ramen. A pint of Sapporo hit the spot. All was yummy and quite filling. The noodles were different between the two Ramen bowls and I personally liked the TanTan noodles which is thicker with more of a bite and chew.

I came here for lunch. I ordered two ramen bowls one pork and one chicken. The pork I got ultra spicy. They both had really good flavor and if you're used to spicy ultra spicy isn't that spicy but it does have really good flavor. We had the Marufuku bites with fried chicken. This was really good too. Our waiter was really good and was checking up on us. He came around the table and filled up our waters three or four times. The ambience of the restaurant was really nice and decorated. I will be coming back here again.

Marufuku has some of the best ramen in San Diego! We always go for the Hakata tonkatsu dx with the thick noodles (it usually comes with thinner noodles but you can ask to substitute). It comes with juicy chasu, a soft boiled egg, pickled ginger, corn, finely shopped woo ear mushrooms, and a sheet of seaweed. The broth is rich and creamy - exactly what you would hope for in a tonkatsu broth. It’s the kind of broth that turns to jello if you leave it in the fridge because it’s so rich. This bowl of ramen also comes with a slice of their decadent marinated kakuni pork. They have a good selection of beers and sake to accompany your meal. There are also some fun imported juices and sodas on offer. The blistered shishito peppers are a delightful appetizer. Slightly spicy and smokey with a hint of freshness. Marufuku is tucked in the corner of the sky deck which has many other options for drinking and eating. You can join the waitlist early on yelp before you come to expedite getting seated.

The vegetable ramen here is the best I've had! Service is also amazing, Ling is super nice! All around a great experience.

I'm so glad we have a Marufuku down in San Diego because this was definitely one of my favorite ramen spots in the bay area! This one is located inside of the Sky Deck building which is a really cool space with several restaurants inside. The aesthetic here is very nice and the space for Marufuku is quite big. We went during opening for lunch and were seated immediately. We shared the Hakata Tonkatsu and the Chicken Paitan DX. We had to get the Chicken DX because of the chicken leg that it comes with served on a sizzling hot plate. The chicken leg is really flavorful and worth getting if you arrive early (limit 15 per day, not sure if that includes dinner service). The Chicken Paitan ramen itself has a slightly lighter broth than the tonkotsu. Still tons of flavor! The Hakata Tonkatsu is probably the best version of tonkotsu I've had. It's not overly rich and still has some lightness to it. You really can't go wrong with other one!

yummy ramen but the portions are a bit small! i got the hakata tonkotsu dx which has thin noodles and a nice but not too rich broth. the pork was really tender and soft! their menu is pretty small, so you can tell they specialize in a few dishes which i appreciate. service is pretty quick and friendly. the restaurant is located in del mar highlands skydeck which is an amazing large building with great interior design. vibes are really good!

Came here last night (04/27/24) for dinner. The inside space is much bigger than I initially thought. We were a table of 4, they seated us almost immediately -- at the bar. The counter top was a beautiful white and very wide (width). Directly underneath the counter top are hooks so you can hang your purse. The music is booming in here + conversation. Service was quick and for the most part they were nice! I ordered the MIKAN to drink, it said it was sparkling juice with freshly squeezed mandarin and sugar cane juice. It wasn't very sweet-- I'm not sure where the sugar cane comes from in the drink haha. It had an undertone that reminded me of cherry tomatoes. Overall it was a great refresher compared to the ramen broth. For appetizer we went with the takoyaki balls and the chicken karaage. The takoyaki was nicely dressed and piping hot. I didn't taste the octopus in mine, mainly the batter. I feel like it could be a miss for texture sensitive people. I surprisingly liked the green onion in the batter! The chicken karaage was massive but so juicy and succulent. I wish they gave us more Japanese Mayo because the portions were big! Also whoever cut that lemon slice was wild because it was so thin you couldn't squeeze it. You had to brush it against your chicken like a paintbrush. The main dishes (ramen) came out pretty fast so we couldn't enjoy our appetizers as much. I ordered the spicy tan tan men and I thought it was going to be spicy...since it's clearly in the name. It was no spice to mild at best. The main flavors I could taste were possibly sesame or some sort of nutty salty notes. The presentation wasn't as nice as my moms. All the ground chicken was at the bottom along with the beansprouts. I asked for the removal of green onions and spring mix (because spring mix is the worst). They came through with that and I asked for add ins of sweet corn and more beansprouts. They had those in little bowls where I could add them in myself. They sadly forgot to give my cousin and I the soft boiled egg in our ramen. But once mentioned, they brought it right away. I wouldn't say it's a seasoned soft boiled egg like they mentioned in the menu. I liked the ramen noodles they weren't overly soft and had a great bounce and chew to them. Overtime my broth became salty, so I'm glad I had the sweet corn to balance it out. The bowls looked small and funky (oddly shaped), but they do hold a lot! I think one bowl could be shared between two people. My mom and grandma thought it was too salty. They liked the chicken karaage. My cousin liked her ramen and when the soft boiled egg arrived she enjoyed it even more. It was a light broth. Overall, it's a nice place with in the Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands. It's something different and warming. The broths are rich and chicken is delicious. Be sure to clarify the spice level even if spicy is in the name! (3-4stars).

Ramen is one of my most ordered dishes locally and every state I visit. This ramen here at Marufuku is one of the best I have ever had! The flavor is unrivaled! The depth is incredible and very deep! I wish I had more descriptors because it is a flavor of dreams! The paitan ramen is a must order, it has whatever topping you would like. We had eggs, the most tender and flavorful chicken, bean sprouts, fish cake and green onions! May I use the description "WOW"! Love the spicy ramen as well! We also ordered sides, I do recommend the chicken kaarage! The gyoza was also nice. The service was quick and the ambience of the Delmar Skydeck is really something to see and enjoy! Unique, cool, interesting and provides a mood elevation! This place is a must try and can't wait to return! Ramen craving for sure!

Stopped here on a whim when the place across from them was out of oysters. But I enjoyed all the Ramen and Saki we sampled. Everything was tasty and the portions were pretty decent as we ended up taking some food home. I got the Chicken Paitan, Marufuku Bites, Chicken Karaage (this one seemed to be in high demand.) We also sampled several types of Saki. Everyting was excelent and we had fun sampling the Aski. The service was very good, and our waitress explained the options well. The resturante is located in a food court like area, but section off into it's own private area. Hopefully you will find our pictures useful.

My first time here and my family had a great experience! Ambiance/Service: It's located in the Sky Deck building towards the back. Our party of 8 got seated right away at around 4:30pm on a Thursday. There are several 4-6 person tables/booths and a few 8-person tables, great for large groups! Our server was fast and efficient, I wish got her name! Food came out very quickly. Food: We were within the happy hour period so we got some appetizers off of that menu. For each happy hour food item, you have to order a drink with it. *7pc Gyoza ($6 HH): Pan seared and was a little soupy in the inside which I really liked! *Chicken Karaage ($6 HH): Fried and super crunchy. *Spicy TanTan Men ($18.50) + 3pc Seaweed add-on ($1.25): I love spicy food and I ordered ultra spicy. Definitely had some heat and it was very flavorful! Served with ground chicken. Other items ordered: *Hakata Tonkotsu ($20.95)-served with Chashu Pork and *Chicken Paitan ($18). Overall: I'm very impressed with this place! I'd definitely come back here for their happy hour items, the Spicy TanTan Men, and the excellent service!

I have to be honest and say I'm not the biggest ramen person but I think about this meal all the time and can't wait to go back! This spot is located in the Sky Deck in Del Mar in the back left corner. Even with closing being soon they were able to seat us right away and get us a great meal. Super random but the chili sesame oil that I got on the side was so good I even got a little container to bring some home with me because I want to add it on everything. We started with some gyoza which were perfectly crispy on the outside but flavorful and soft on the inside. I was super hunger so we opted for me to get the chicken karrage and my boyfriend got the ramen so I had a few bits of that as well. When I'm more hungry I will definitely be trying one of their ramen bowls.

Came on a Sunday at 12 and was surprised that this place was empty. We ordered the vegetable ramen (without mizuna greens) and the chicken paitan DX. THE DX just means it comes with a chicken quarter that is flavored like chashu. The vegetable ramen is good but not great. The tofu is a little soft for my taste. Would prefer something firmer. My partner loved the chicken paitan. Really good flavor and the chicken in the ramen is super tender and moist. The star was definitely the DX portion of the meal though. Fall of the bone tender and the flavor was so on point and not overly seasoned or salty.

5 stars alone for the wondrous Chicken Paitan Ramen DX (chicken ramen with rich white "paitan" broth, chashu chicken breast, seasoned soft boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts, corn, and nori seaweed, plus grilled chicken leg on a sizzling plate). Nestled on a bed of bean sprouts, that marinated leg is a joy to behold and flavorful AF, a perfect complement to the unexpectedly tender breast in the ramen. Only 15 of these babies are available per day so stake your claim early! My girlfriend ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen (Hakata style ramen with rich pork broth, chashu pork, seasoned soft boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, and bean sprouts) and enjoyed the simmered pork belly and other elements. Service was, well, serviceable - neither superlative nor subpar. Loved the clean, modern design and convenient location in Sky Deck, however!

What a stunning location and I love the concept of many restaurants sharing a space. The Sky Deck is just next level with the decor and open feel while being high above the bustling parking lot or street noises. Selected to eat at Marufuku based on two things, the sandwich board pictures by the welcome stand and being greeted by Ling. She was so nice and welcoming we couldn't resist giving this place a try. WOW! Awesome service, super fresh ramen and plenty of food for the price. The Hakata-style ramen with the milky broth and fresh noodle makes your mouth water as soon as it hits the table. They do not skimp on noodles, meat or veggies. I ordered my ramen with the chicken leg side, I have no idea what all they put on that chicken but it was so good my tongue was smacking my face trying to get more. It was fall off the bone awesomeness! This is a great spot for lunch, dinner, date, business...whatever fits your needs as it's toward the back, quiet, and is set up really well. I will be back! Ask for Ling, you won't be sorry, she is super happy and a real joy to have serving and interacting with the table.

Had the food delivered when at Understory. They prepped our order super fast, probably less than 10 min it was delivered to us. A few parties around us had ramen bowls and bento boxes, but we wanted something smaller so that we could try other apps from different places. This was the perfect size for two as an appetizer. If you like rice, you'll love the rice bowls. This was a bit spicy but the many green onions balanced it out. I would come back to eat at their location as the seating area looked super cute. Would also come back to order their ramen too!

We came here for dinner and were seated right away, we started off with a sake flight and an order of Marufuku bites. Then we ordered Chicken Paitan Ramen DX, they only had 3 more left at 5pm as they only make 15 per day, and our server told us it was the most popular item on the menu and we had to have it. The dish comes with chicken breast, ramen, a boiled egg and seaweed, then an extra dish on the side of a roasted chicken leg with sprouts. Everything was amazing, we both ordered the spice level medium and they bring out chili oil and spicy red powder if you want your food even hotter. This is located in a strip mall called Sky Deck, very cozy atmosphere and there are many smaller restaraunts inside. We will definitely come back here.

One of the best ramen in SD. Service was great and the ramen always delicious. Love their Tonkatsu broth.

Some of the best tonkatsu ramen I have ever had! Ling was our waitress and she was really awesome and helpful. Great food-decent pricing and beautiful decorations. What's more to love?

It was good! It's not greasy like other ramen shops in San Diego. I love it. Good location, excellent service.

Great Service. Thanks, Jocelyn! Great food, great value for your money. The place is unique.

We wanted to try this place for awhile and finally had the chance. We ordered the ff: Hakata Tonkotsu- supposedly rich pork broth and sadly it wasn't rich enough for me. I give this 2 star. I'm trying to figure out what is missing here, their broth definitely did not stand out. Lacks of flavor? Seasoning? Hakata Tonkotsu DX- pretty much the same as the regular, the only difference is it has more toppings. Their boiled egg is not the typical season boiled. This is just plain soft boiled egg. Takoyaki- it's alright. Nothing fancy, tiny pc of octopus inside the breading. Service- our server only came in to take our order. Someone else brought it, she returned when it was time for us to pay. Would I come back and give it a 2nd shot? Absolutely not!

What a surprise! I've been to the SF location, but I had no idea Marufuku had made it down to SD! Same great quality ingredients, good service, and convenient location in the Sky Deck section of the Del Mar Heights shopping area. Hakata ramen will always be my favorite, although the chicken paitan is great too. My friend got the dx version and we got a big chicken leg, which I've never done before. It was so good!

I recommend the sake flight. I was a little bit concerned to spend 24 bucks if I would only get four shots but the shot glasses are generous size. Beware vegans, the vegetable ramen comes with a poached egg. Our waitstaff Fern and Cole, were excellent.

I came here for lunch. I ordered two ramen bowls one pork and one chicken. The pork I got ultra spicy. They both had really good flavor and if you're used to spicy ultra spicy isn't that spicy but it does have really good flavor. We had the Marufuku bites with fried chicken. This was really good too. Our waiter was really good and was checking up on us. He came around the table and filled up our waters three or four times. The ambience of the restaurant was really nice and decorated. I will be coming back here again.

It has been a while since I've had ramen here and I forgot just how good it was! It's within walking distance from my office so I will be coming here more often when I'm in a mood for Japanese ramen! I didn't realize they have a happy hour either, that's a plus! Service was really nice and fast!

Met up with a friend for lunch. This is a cool area!! This place was very busy for lunch! Very popular and the staff work very hard and still remember all the side requests as they walk by!!! We ordered the following.... -Gyoza 7pieces Pan-fried Pork pot stickers -Vegetable Ramen Creamy vegetable broth with spinach noodles ,Tofu, mix greens, cherry tomato, red and yellow bell pepper, red onion, kaiware sprout, seasoned soft boiled egg. topped with sesame seeds. -Chicken Paitan DX ( Limited 15 order) Chicken Ramen with Rich White "w" Broth Regular toppings (chashu chicken breast, seasoned soft boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts) & grilled chicken leg on a sizzling plate, sweet corn, and nori seaweed. All of it was delicious and flavorful! We were order number 12 on the Chicken Paitan DX as they only make 15 daily!! The vegetable ramen was also so yummy!The food is sharable and we had leftovers to enjoy later. I recommend this place!!!

This restaurant is located on the second floor in an area called the sky deck. You can park in the free parking structure connected to this strip mall. This area is super cute and very walkable, also connected to a secondary strip mall. Theres lots of options for dessert in the area. The ramen was fantastic. The broth is milky without being too dense and the egg was perfect. There is a wait for this restaurant so join the yelp waitlist beforehand. The portions are just a touch small for my taste, but overall it was very good.

Quickly seated and service was prompt. Broth was rich and delicious. It's located in the SkyDeck area of the shopping center so parking is fairly ample, depends on time of day.

This felt like racial discrimination; I sure do hope I'm wrong. I came at a time when the restaurant wasn't crowded. There were some people at the front, where you normally wait to get seated, but they weren't waiting to be seated; they were placing an order to go. So I waited there for a while until someone else came to seat me. He placed me at the worst place, in a dark corner, back towards everyone and I'm facing the kitchen window where the chef puts out the food, even though the restaurant was pretty empty. It felt like an odd choice, but I didn't think much about it. It's only when I realized that no one bothers to check the dark corner that it was starting to bother me. No one came to take my order for a long time. I had to wave someone down in order for that to happen. This was in contrast to a white guy who walked in probably 15 min after me. He got a seat right in a good spot, got his order taken quickly and got his food before I did. Similarly for a couple of white girls that were seated probably 20 min after me, except that by this time, at least my appetizer came out before theirs. I can't help but think that I could have gotten better service had I had the right pigmentation... What saved this from a complete let-down was a really nice waiter that I waved down earlier. I don't think I was technically his section of the restaurant but he took my order and checked on me to make sure that I got everything I needed and apologized for the long wait I had earlier. The ramen was also good and so was the takoyaki. I love that we get to choose the spiciness of the ramen. The spicy level is just right; I think ultra-spicy might be a little much. I would have given this place a much higher rating had I had a normal treatment.

This is one of my favorite ramen spots in San Diego. I keep coming back because of their consistency, delicious ramen and I am addicted to their spicy wings!!!

Hi all! Today, I was craving some ramen and came across Marufuku Ramen located in Del Mar in the sky deck area and was able to try a few of their recommended dishes. To begin this review, I will start with the ambience. The restaurant itself is very minimal. The surrounding areas is very nice, aesthetically pleasing to look at with various art sculptures. It is a LOUD food hall but a great place to meet up for some drinks and food. We ordered the chicken karaage, Marufuku Bites and Hakata Tonkotsu DX. The service was good, food came out fast and waiter always checked on us to see if we needed anything. To be completely honest, I prefer getting ramen from one of the convoy restaurants due to flavor preference. The noodles and broth were good but did not really like the flavor of the pork belly (not saying it was bad). Overall, I give it about a 7/10. *Takeaway notes - There was plentiful of noodles (didn't need to order extra noodles). - I would pass on the chicken karaage (they give you 5 little pieces) - steam bun was ok - Sign up for the waitlist on Yelp!

Our server, Ling was so lovely! Ambience was great and food was amazing. Ling did such a great job at keeping us feel comfortable and satisfied! Definitely will return back here!

Came here for a friend's birthday and we were seated right away! Service was quick, and they even gave us complimentary sake to celebrate the occasion. I always get the regular tonkatsu at ramen places, and this one was nice and rich. Since it is in a food hall it gets quite loud but that was expected. Would come

king was our server and she was so queen food was so yummy and she was so helpful !!!

We went here for dinner on a Sunday night with friends around 6 pm. There was no wait and we were seated right away. Service was quick and attentive and our food came out at a reasonable time after ordering. I got the hakata tonkotsu with medium spice. The rest of our group got the tonkotsu dx. Everyone was happy with their dish. The medium spice was not too spicy but could've had a bit more kick. The bowls seemed a bit small compared to other ramen places but it was actually quite filling. Price was about $18 for the tonkotsu and $20 for the dx, which is a bit pricy to me but probably comparable to other ramen places. Free parking in the shared lot for the complex.

Great service and delicious ramen - the broth is amazing ! Great value for the quality of food and generous portions served

Everything was good. Ling, our server is super nice. I love the placr. Great aesthetic

I love this Ramen spot in Sky deck the stag Ling and Ko is so friendly and nice. They go above and beyond on customer service , I also love the Chicken Dx and how it sizzles I. A platter, with Geso which is squid, gyoza, the wings, and get sake too, come out a great time with your family and friends.

The atmosphere here is pretty nice albeit super loud at least at the time we went for dinner. The parking here is crazy, so I highly suggest parking in the back parking structure versus attempting to get a spot in the lot in the front. We ordered a few small bites to try, Takoyaki and Geso Fry and each went with the same Ramen order Hakata Tonkotsu DX with an extra Egg. Starting with the Appetizers/small bites. The Takoyaki was ok, nothing special as far as Octopus balls go, the Geso Fry sort of hit the same mark, it was just ok. Fried Squid, no seasoning with a dollop of Mayo to dip it in. The Tonkotsu DX, the broth is nice and rich with a deep creamy pork flavor, the Chashu and Buta Kakuni (thick pork belly) were both flavorful and I would rate above average in comparison to other Ramen places I have been to in the area. The Egg, while cooked very well, did not taste seasoned/marinated at all. The noodles themselves I was not a massive fan of, they seamed a bit undercooked and thin to me, I do really like that they offer Kae-Dama (noodle Refill) for a reasonable price ($3). I did not opt for this as I felt the noodle was the weak link in the ramen which I ordered, as well as being quite full! While I would come here again if I were in the area, my first experience would not incline me to drive far out of my way.

First time checking this place out, Service was phenomenal! Our server Ling was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire experience, she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and invited. The Tonkatsu ramen was good, I would say one of the better options I've tried in San Diego. Great portions and good flavor/quality of the broth. Only downside of this place is that the famous ramen eggs are literally just soft-boiled eggs, not the traditional "Ajitsuke Tamago" marinated ramen eggs. Overall, not a bad choice by any means!

One of the better ramen spots in north county! Great service and live DJ on Saturday nights makes it a great dinner vibe with family and friends! Thanks Natalia for the fast and great service!

Hidden in a gentrified packing house in Del Mar, lies one of the best hidden ramen joints in SD. The broth is not what you expect- it's better! You can tell they make it from scratch and it's their own special blend. It's not like the overly salted/gamey broth you get at 99% of typical ramen joints. I got the chicken ramen with a hot spicy level and it was divine. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the bean sprouts that were mixed in with the noodles. It threw off the texture a little bit. Our server was really sweet and the ambience feels like you're in a modern indoor food court. Will be back soon!

A couple days after trying one ramen joint, the same friend wanted to get ramen again LOL. This restaurant was bookmarked for me, so we headed here for another ramen night. It's located on the second floor in a "food court" area of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center on El Camino Real. Unlike normal restaurants, the interior of the entire place was almost like a dim light restaurant-style food court. Lots of restaurants to choose from but with their own dining area. Because it was situated like a food court, you can hear all the noise from the other restaurants. It was actually kind of loud when my friend and I were eating. I got the Hakata Tonkotsu ramen with medium spiciness. The broth was delicious! Full of umami and flavor that I really enjoyed. It was just right in heaviness too. I realized that I really enjoy Hakata styled ramens as they're deep with umami flavor but also lightish. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped, so the server gave shichimi (Japanese chili flakes). The noodles were also cooked perfectly with a little more on the al dente side (which I loved). My friend and I also shared a Chicken Karaage. It was delicious! Super crispy, and the mayo sauce made it so much better. I really enjoyed the food I had here. The atmosphere was way too busy for me but would definitely come back for more ramen especially for the Chicken Paitan Dx which I saw many customers with a huge chicken leg to go with their ramen.

Found this place here on Yelp. We had chicken karaage, gyoza and the tonkotsu deluxe ultra spicy. The broth was amazing! Definitely one of my favorites, only wish the noodles were a little shorter? They were super long so kind of hard to eat in a decent manner. Our server Lynh was super attentive and went over the menu very thoroughly and made recommendations. The place is beautifully decorated. A little loud but perfect setting for our kids to be loud

In the corner of sky deck is a Ramen gem. I went with the Spicy DX ramen, definitely worth trying. The service was on point, everyone was very friendly and attentive for our large party. The dining area can be a little noisy since it is shared with other restaurants and bar inside the hall. Definitely a great place to come eat and drink and hangout with desserts nearby.

5/5 stars for Marufuku Ramen! If you're a fan of great ramen, this is the place to be. I always opt for firm noodles - they have the perfect bite to them! Yes, there's often a bit of a wait, but you can skip the line by signing up on their waitlist through Yelp. It's a breeze, and totally worth it for a bowl of their ramen. I find myself returning to Marufuku Ramen time and again, at least once a month, if not more. My go-to order is the Tonkotsu DX. It's a bowl packed full of flavor and warmth. If you haven't tried Marufuku yet, you're definitely missing out. Make sure to stop by!

2nd time back at Marufuku this time at open! Service was fast and friendly. I was able to try the Chicken Paitan DX! (limited quantity) This is now my favorite ramen place in SD! And I have had a lot of ramen places lol. The star has be the chicken leg on the sizzling plate. It was tender, juicy and with a nice char. The glaze seemed like a sweet soy base. The chicken ramen also amazing! The chicken char siu was tender and juicy as well. Broth was well balanced. And the noodles were cooked to perfection! I'm definitely coming back and getting the chicken Paitan DX again

Was able to get quickly seated and the food came out promptly - front & kitchen staff were extremely efficient. While the Ramen was great, the customer service could have been less rushed and more friendly. All in all, great place to grab a bowl of ramen

Such a great spot in Del Mar for some ramen! It is located at Sky Deck near the back. For appetizers we tried the Spicy Wings and Marufuku Bites. The wings were crispy and reminded me of Korean fried chicken. The sauce is caramelized and had great flavor. The Marufuku Bites are steamed buns filled with pork chashu. The filling was very tender and flavorful. I tried the Hakata Tonkotsu DX. The broth was super flavorful. Both the chashu pork and braised thick pork belly was melt in your mouth. My friend got the Chicken Paitan DX which came with a chicken leg on the side! It comes on a sizzling plate with bean sprouts. Love the noodles here! They are such a great texture. The ramen comes in these cute bowls that look small, but it is so filling! Service is great here. They even have a great bar. Even though it's surrounded by other eateries, the vibes are great here. Definitely worth checking out!

Shout out to Ling, our server, for seating 11 of us. Long story short their Tonkotsu DX was 10/10 would get it again. It's on my top 3 ramen!

So they have happy hour on top of the usual amazing ramen! You have to purchase a drink from the happy hour menu to take advantage of the happy hour food menu. But it's well worth it in price and pure satisfaction.

My favorite ramen spot in San Diego! I've been here 3x and it never disappoints. I've had the veggie ramen, chicken paitan, and the pork as well as the gyoza. I'm really impressed with the quality of the broth. The broth is actually my favorite! My mom ate here with me recently and was impressed as well and she's rather picky with Asian food (she's from Taiwan;) so you know it's good!

Our favorite ramen spot Ling was our server went above and beyond even splitting the kids ramens in each of their bowls for them Had a wonderful time will keep coming back Spicy veggie ramen is our favorite
