Reviews for BESHOCK Ramen East Village in San Diego, CA
BESHOCK Ramen is shockingly amazing! I came here while I was on vacation with a craving for noods. The downside of the location... is the parking, since it is downtown. We got lucky with parking and seating when we went for lunch on a Saturday. Karaage - 5/5- perfectly crisp and moist. Handrolls and nigiri - 5/5 - courtesy from the kitchen/owner. Can't go wrong with it. TonkotsuBlack Ramen - 5/5 - I love that they use thick noodles. The thicker, the better! The broth was flavorful, and the egg wasperfectly marinated. Flavor of Aichi sake - 5/5 - I'm not much of a drinker, but all of my friends said that this was,hands-down, the best sake they've had. They also mentioned it was the smoothest sake. Fun fact, the owner's face is on thelabel. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone to come here to get your noods craving fixed. I would like to come back and trymore ramen. Read more
Loved the sushi, the spicy ramen was great, a tasty old fashioned and solid service! My wife enjoyed it so much, we visited... twice on our (5 day) trip to SD. Read more
Wonderful Ramen restaurant in the downtown area. Service and atmosphere was great. Stopped by after visiting the zoo and was... very satisfied with our meals. Offer Sake by the bottle and quality of food is on point! Was recommended the beef rib ramen andsushi with fried onions and truffle oil. Did not disappoint! Read more
I have 4 dishes in my order: 1. Beshock Ramen: 4/5 , the broth is very tasty, full of umami, the only thing i feel weird is... about the noodles, it’s definitely not a regular one u buy from grocery store, which means the restaurant may made itthemselves. But It’s just not my type so I gave 4. 2. Hatsumushi Roll (hope I’m not spell it wrong): 3/5, it’s like anormal eel roll but decorated and make in a fancy way, the wasabi they said it’s fresh but in my opinion it’s not fresh, andit’s not spicy as usual. 3. Takoyaki: 3/5, the flour they used to made it definitely not rice flour, the decoration ispretty, but the taste kinda egh. 4. Chicken Karaage: 5/5, It’s the star of this restaurant, tasteful, tender, juicy. Worth atry. Read more
Trendy spot in San Diego’s East Village for ramen and sushi. The modern, industrial finishings inside make the space feel... sophisticated and sleek. However, I was less impressed with the ramen I ordered as the pork belly was nearly all fat. Additionally, I noticed that the seasonings typically provided for free at other ramen bars would cost you extra here. Overallthough, it was a decent dining experience. Read more
The Beef Ramen was amazing! Marinated beef rib was salty but tasty. The beef broth was possibly the best I've tasted in a long... while. Service was slow but I guess that's to be expected for a Friday night... Would definitely go back next time I'm in townjust for the Beef Ramen. Read more
First time here. Nice atmosphere, outside seating with heaters, dog friendly, with nice street view. Good menu items, Ramen,... Sushi, cooked items. Their sushi menu needs to be expanded but the ones we tried were tasty. Green tea was good, variety ofwines, and a large list of Sake. I tried the 9 headed Dragon Sake based on my waitresses recommendation and it wasgreat. Service was very friendly n professional. Lucia did a great job answering our questions and taking good care ofus. Check out these photos and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. Read more
Price range $45 for two “It’s food and I’m hungry” Ambiance: it’s a cool looking place. Food: I have heard of fresh... but the noodles tasted “raw” did not taste cooked all the way. Almost as it was just dipped in the blend of ingredients fora quick dip in the pool and pulled right out immediately. (Note no noodles where drowned in the making of the bowl.) The foodhas the look just not the tast. The fries where also not cooked all the way, they also did not taste that good at ALL. Such abummer. Service. The waiter was nice but only came to take the order and give the check. I needed napkins and never receivedanything…. Read more
