Nozaru Ramen Bar

A ramen that was simple, not overly rich, and the perfect portion size. The prices are reasonable for the quality and the hole in the wall style helps elevate this restaurant. The service was amazing and quick. I will return once again to try some more

5/5 Ramen, Mar our server was very kind & attentive. We highly recommend you try this place, truly one of San Diego’s best. The Adams fries are delicious as well!

It’s been about 6-7 years since I’ve last been to Nozaru Ramen. I remember I had a great experience then, and I wanted to revisit. This time around I wasn’t as happy with the experience. I had the ramen combo which includes fried gyoza and chicken karaage. My wife ordered the Donkey Kong ramen bowl. The ramen I ordered was pretty much the same as the tonkatsu. I enjoyed this one. However, my wife’s Donkey Kong ramen was very salty. Keep in mind we enjoy salty foods, but this was pretty extreme. When we arrived, there was only one other party there. They already had their food. It took at least 20 minutes for our ramen to come out. However, the food came out separately because they were behind. I don’t understand this part because they just opened 10 minutes before we arrived. How can you be behind already? Before we left, they were at full capacity. They get very busy on Sundays. Anyhow, overall it was a good experience, not a great one.

This place was highly recommended to us and they did not disappoint! We ordered the spicy garlic edamame and Adam’s fries to start. The edamame was hot and soft but didn’t really have much of a garlic flavor. The Adam’s fries were amazing with tons of flavor and a generous amount of pork belly. We also ordered the ramen burrito (it was recommended to us) and while it was flavorful, having ramen and fries in a burrito was a bit much for me. We ordered the Black Heights ramen bowl and we really enjoyed it. The broth was savory and rich and there was a lot of meat, corn, and fungi on the side. We also ordered the Seared Salmon Shrimp sushi roll and it was amazing. Definitely would come back here and would try more of the items on their side dishes menu.

I had the Tokyo chicken ramen which was excellent. The broth was hearty, the meat was tender and filling, the egg was cooked to perfection, and the noodles were delicious. It’s a great spot on a cloudy/rainy day, and it was uncrowded for an early dinner before 5 p.m. (my personal favorite time to go out). The service was fast and friendly. They also serve a mean seaweed salad! I sampled the Donkey Kong as well which had a beautiful array of flavors and textures, but it’s a bit rich for me. My biggest complaint is that the music playing is incredibly loud. Maybe this suits a more lively dinner crowd, but it was pretty distracting being the only people in the restaurant.
