Located in the heart of Convoy Street, is a spot for ramen but offered various Japanese. With a menu showcasing a variety of ramen

Buta

Located in Linda Vista, best known for their signature ramens. Our favorites are the vegan and curry ramen with an extra egg on each and one set of extra noodles. We HIGHLY recommend this ramen shop. After visiting Japan twice (Cherry Blossom Season 2019 & 2023), and have resulted that the creamy broth flavor and savory thick noodles is the best at this resturant.
We often visit this location on Saturdays around 2pms. If you are ever in the area and see us. Please say hi!
Location: 5201 Linda Vista Rd Unit 103 San Diego, CA 92110
Cin-Kuni
Nestled in the infamous EL Cajon Blvd in San Diego
Location: 3025 El Cajon Blvd. San Diego, CA 92104
BeShock
Located in the hustle and bustle of Downtown San Diego. If you love garlic, they have a ramen for you. They are vegan/ vegetarian friendly. This pet friendly ramen shop is a great visit if you are ever in the Downtown area. Since it is located at a hotspot location, be prepared to walk to reach it and to wait for a spot. I found it to be average but that doesn't stop others from flocking. It is street parking (free after 6pm, but paid meters during the day).
Location: 1288 Market Street, San Diego, CA
