Menya Ultra-clairemont - San Diego

Great food. Tasty. Large portions. They seating area is very busy and packed. You can join waistline before you go. Otherwise, there is a wait list. Roughly 40+ min.Food is good. Great flavors. Loved it. And not that pricy.

A true hidden gem in San Diego! We were seated right after joining the Yelp waitlist. My boyfriend and I ordered the Tonkotsu Ajitama Ramen along with Nagoya Fried Chicken, and we were absolutely delighted with our meal. The flavors were rich but somehow light at the same time. I left feeling completely satisfied and I can see why this restaurant has earned a spot in the Michelin guide. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit!

Was looking for a nice spot to eat and came across this Michelin star ramen place. There is a wait list and it took about 15-30min before we were seated.Ordered the Nagoya Style Fried Chicken and two different ramen. Chicken was a tad bit too salty but the ramen was nice.It is recommended to get the yelp app to join the wait list or you’ll have to walk up to the tablet to add your name.Overall, nice little spot to satisfy your ramen craving but the wait times makes it less so.Parking: Make sure you don’t park in the 1 hour spots if you plan on eating here haha

Such good flavors, fresh noods made on the spot, incredible ramen. The gyozas are crispy and tasty too. I wish they make veggie gyozas soon. Service was good, restaurant busy but you get seated fairly quickly. We'll be coming back for more soon!

If you're planning to dine here, it's best to arrive early to avoid long waits. We arrived right at 5 PM to put our names on the waitlist and found only eight parties ahead of us, resulting in a short wait of about 15 minutes. This place is definitely worth a visit. Thank you, Menya! **Vegetarian Options:** Most of their ramen has a pork base, so there aren't many vegetarian choices. They do offer a vegan miso, but I suspect it may have a fish base due to the miso; I didn't get a chance to confirm that on the menu. **Dietary Restrictions:** This restaurant may not be suitable for those with allergies to fish, wheat, or eggs.
