Tajima Ramen - Ramen Known For it's Flavorful Broth & Thick Chashu Pork - San Diego CA, U.S.A.

 


On our recent trip to San Diego, particularly in within the Gas Lamp area, we were craving for some ramen for dinner.  After searching in google maps, we came across this ramen shop in East Village named Tajima Ramen.  We also saw good reviews for this ramen restaurant as well as read that it has a reputation as one of the top Japanese restaurants in San Diego, so we gave it a try.








When we arrived, there was a long queue, which was a good indication that food is good here.  The restaurant is not that big and there is no parking facility so you just park on the streets.  We are very hungry because of the long waiting lines so we are excited to try out their food.  This is what we ordered:

Tofu Tempura

Tajima Chicken Chashu Bun

Chicken Chashu Fried Rice

Tajima Ramen 23 - Original Tonkotsu Pork Bone Broth

Tajima Black Ramen - Tonkotsu Pork Bone Broth with Black Garlic Oil


As expected the ramen was very good.  The broth was rich, flavorful and the noodles are perfect.  One thing good about their ramen here is that the pork chashu is very thick about 3/4 to 1 inch.  The appetizers and chicken chashu fried rice that we ordered are very good as well.  Overall, we enjoyed our food and we cannot wait to dine here again.
