BESHOCK RAMEN CARLSBAD

Ramen restaurant

👍👍 One of my favorite spots! I’ve been here 4 times so far and it’s usually always great. They have vegan options which is nice since my partner is vegetarian. The space is small, so when it’s busy there is a long wait time, but I have yet to experience it. The brussel sprouts are one of my favorites,...

Kin Izakaya

Izakaya restaurant

👍 Great spot for date nights or small groups / celebrations. Food overall is not as good as other Kei concepts restaurants, but their ramen and drinks did not disappoint! For appetizers, recommend the uni & beef tartare, and skewers (chicken skin, pork jowl, scallops were my fave). I would really only...

Ramen Ryoma Hillcrest

Ramen restaurant

👍 The ramen was okay. Not near as spicy as one would like but there was a decent flavor profile. The takoyaki was pretty good, though a little soft for my liking, but again, the flavor was very nice. One complaint was the music was a little loud. For a casual dining spot, it felt more like they wante...

Izakaya Hachi

Izakaya restaurant

👍👍 4.5 stars. Loved most of it but some things. I got the wagyu and uni and it was amazing! For $27 you get three spoons of uni with wagyu beef and they were bombs of delicious flavor. The eel nigiri was serviceable. For the yakitori, the chicken meatball was so juicy and flavorful but the duck was dr...
