3/5 Stars - A Mixed Experience: Ramen Nagi La Jolla Review
I recently visited Ramen Nagi in La Jolla, eager to indulge in a satisfying bowl of ramen. Unfortunately, my experience was mediocre.
Pros
1. Spice Levels: Customizable spice levels were a highlight, catering to diverse palates.
2. Service: Friendly, attentive staff provided decent service.
Cons
1. Ramen Quality: Noodles were undercooked, leaning toward raw.
2. Limited Appetizers: Few options, lacking variety.
3. Kid-Friendly: Most dishes contain spice, limiting options for children.
4. Portion Size: Moderate, but not generous.
Recommendations for Improvement
1. Refine noodle cooking consistency.
2. Expand appetizer selection.
3. Introduce kid-friendly, spice-free options.
