Blue Ocean Sushi Harumama Noodles Buns La Jolla

I truly loved it. The cow buns were cute and nice. The rest I don't remember, but when I'm back, I'll be back baby!

The food there was amazing and fairly priced but the reason it's a 4 star for me was because of the poor service.

Great location. I've gone to many ramen places and most of them have extremely bland veggie ramen. It's gotten to the point that I only eat ramen from Ramenhood. But now I can add Harumama to the list!! The Garden Party Ramen is delicious! Tasty combination of veggies with a veggie broth that actually has flavor! I also had the polar bear buns that's filled with egg custard. They're so soft and the perfect amount of sweetness! I am definitely coming back for more

Honestly, this place is overhyped. I have been to Harumama so many times and each leaves me disappointed. The character buns are adorable and the menu seems to have something for everyone. Even still, these simply do not carry for the mediocre food and service. Food From all my experiences, these are the dishes that I remember eating, though I have tried more ...One common trend at Harumama is that many dishes can be found elsewhere for both better price and taste. Crispy Karb Wontons one of their better dishes. Has a nice crunch and is stuffed well. (7.5/10) Spicy tuna roll very mid. It is not very spicy and sushi rice was bland. (6/10) Power protein Poke It was small and was not the freshest or tastiest. Felt like it was thrown together with little thought. (5/10) Flying Pig Ramen super weak soup base flavor. The pork topping was alright. (5/10) High Noon soup base had no flavor, and the chicken was very dry. (4/10) Fat Duck Ramen super weak soup base flavor. Duck also was flavorless and dry. (3/10) Creamy Truffle Udon Smelled like truffle but didn't taste like it. The udon had a very mild garlic flavor and that's it. (5/10) Character Buns I have tried a variety of the buns, and they are all relatively the same. The buns are really only there for the aesthetic. The filling inside is usually scant and it mostly tastes like the dough. (6/10) The service here is usually not good because they seem to misallocate their workers. The servers seemed to be overworked, while other positions seem to be idle. The last time I went here on a weekday the wait plus service totaled 3+ hours.

Views, food, service excellent everything, Highly recommend visiting during the early afternoon to enhance your chances of sitting by the ocean view.
