Nishiki Ramen

We were a large party walk-in and the staff were INCREDIBLY accommodating and kind to us throughout our dinner. Our server, Alex, especially treated us with the best service ever and so respectable through and through. We just want to thank the servers to the hosts to the kitchen staff for their time and patience with us. Each and every one of them are incredible and deserve a raise for their Michelin star service!

Fantastic ramen. So tasty, rich broth, delicious ingredients, and big noodle taste. Also ordered the Russian roulette octopus balls for an appetizer. One of the balls is stuffed with wasabi, the others are not. The filled one is discovered only by trying them. You’ll know when you bite into it lol. Clean restaurant, friendly service. I’ll definitely be returning with my whole crew 🦜 Yar!!!

I’ll start with the best: no “cost of living” surcharges and a flat, no-nonsense 15% tip. Sad that this is unusual for San Diego, but here we are. They don’t have the biggest menu, largest bows, or prettiest building. It’s still very good ramen for the price and the service was fast. It’s not my favorite ramen in San Diego, but I’m very happy with the overall experience.

This was my first introduction to San Diego ramen and boy was I NOT disappointed. They have a special for a large kakuni ramen and I could not pass that up. Their tonkatsu broth is hands down my favorite (even over menya ultra); it's rich and fatty and you can taste the bone marrow thoroughly which made it slightly sweet on the backend. The kakuni was tender and soft and a perfect compliment to their broth, and oh boy they give you a *mammoth* portion!My partner got the chashu bowl and the chashu was perfectly soft and fatty as well! Noodles were okay, I couldn't choose their firmness but I honestly did not ask if you can-- worth a try! They accommodated my request to change the spice level and gave me what appeared to be home made or fresh spice paste which was perfect in the end. Overall, an incredibly satisfying bowl, I will be dreaming about it for months. 💖

Been going to this location for years. Literally the best Ramen in California I have tried. Been to places from Northern California to LA and Inland Empire to Palm Springs area and non compare to Nishiki. I always get the number 2 and get their homemade hot sauce🔥 but on the side and add to taste! Chashu (Pork belly) is tender. Slow egg is a must. Service is always quick to even when it’s packed in there.

I had the Akuma #3 with an egg added. My date had the Notorious GGG, egg also added. The Akuma is pretty fiery, tough the next day 😂. Delicious nonetheless. My date loved her bowl, garlic to the max. We also shared an app, tiny fried pot sticker things, also delicious. I would definitely come back but get a different bowl, the Black Garlic looked amazing.
