"Owned by Sushi Maru partner Yoshinari Ichise, Ramen Ryoma operates two Oregon locations and two San Diego locations (Hillcrest and Pacific Beach), and Ichise is the restaurateur behind several other concepts mentioned in connection with Sushi Maru." - Helen I. Hwang
"This transplant from the Pacific Northwest has multiple locations in San Diego with spots in Hillcrest and Pacific Beach. Its signature bowl combines a long-simmered pork broth with a miso base and hand-rolled thick noodles that have a bouncy texture." - darlene-horn
"I went to the two-story spot next to Better Buzz Coffee Roasters for signature Sapporo-style ramen with a miso-broth base and enjoyed small izakaya-style plates like takoyaki, gyoza, and chicken karaage." - Keri Bridgwater
"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
"I was told the Hillcrest location, launching next year, will feature a full cocktail bar and may also include a sushi bar." - Candice Woo
