Tried their ramen and it well compares to other ramen places like Nishiki and Underbelly. Definitely on my list of to go places from now on.
Chicken Ramen
A sushi restaurant doesn’t include wasabi and ginger with their sushi. When I asked, the server said I should have “checked it off while ordering” and walks away. We checked and it’s not an up charge. Why wouldn’t you just bring the standard accoutrements? I shouldn’t be punished by your restaurant’s poor GUI.Naked sushi = 2 stars
Their food is so delicious!! Their sushi was surprisingly impressive too. Loved the cocktails.
Great ramen! Perfect for cold days. The spicy sesame is unbelievably good! Opted for the tajima with chicken this time and was super pleased. Will definitely be back! Matcha peach iced tea is also ace!!!
This was my 4th visit here. It's a hour drive from my house but very much worth it . The best Ramen I every had. Everything fresh not canned. Just enough spice and exploding with flavor.Very friendly staff and professional in doing their jobs without rolling eyes like in most places these days. Keep it up
Bowls of ramen were very good, depth of flavor in every spoon. The wife had creamy chicken ramen, I had Tajima ramen and son had the spicy ramen.
Today it was perfect. We go here often but today it was the perfect meal. Perfect noodle texture, perfect broth flavor, perfect pork and perfect egg. Someone should give the chef a raise.
I had to go try Tajima cause I already tried this other ramen spot. This is located by In-n-out and in a strip mall right off the 163. There is another Tajima spot on Convoy but this was near by. The spot had an Izakaya vibe since it also had a bar. It's a nice spot, good decor and good vibe night ambient place. It got crowed once I got seated. I beat the rush I guess. I got a beer, of course, Karaage and their Tajima ramen. The Karaage should've came out before I got my ramen but it's okay. It was a bit over crispy and alil burnt in taste. You can tell from the fryer oil and how darker it was. The lemon and mayonnaise didn't help. Now to the ramen. Tajima ramen is a Tonkotsu pork broth ramen. The charshu pork was a chunky strip. It was heavily marinated and just right between juicy and tough. It kinda bothered me since it was stronger than the broth but also felt balance while eating. The broth was light, not as creamy but flavorful. It really didn't mix/soaked into the noodles or charshu. The noodles, to me, felt like regular noodles. The website doesn't say handmade but it does say fresh noodles. The slurpability was okay, 6/10. Broth didn't clinch to the noodles. All together it was good ramen I have to say. In all, Tajima was a surprise spot. With alot of people saying how it's not like how it use to be and now company oriented to where it's becoming an Izakaya. It beats out 1 out of the 2 other ramen spots around them. I have them #3 on my list. If you follow me, you kno the top 2. If not, just hit me up and follow me! Well, on to the next one.
Literally my favorite restaurant in San Diego. The restaurant is adorable. We love to eat outside on their patio. The food is consistently delicious. I always get the Tajima Ramen and garlic edamame; it never disappoints!Make sure to come hungry!!
