Tajima Japanese #2 - San Diego

The general area at Tajima consists of Chinese, Korean, Thai, and other Japanese restaurants but this shines in contrast with the other Asian restaurants on Convoy St. I highly recommend the Yakisoba Omelette and Yakiudon. Their okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) is also quite good, just ask them to go light on the sauce. The bonito flakes look like they’re alive when you first get your dish, but fear not, it’s just a reaction to heat. One thing I noticed is the bilingual clientele. They are mostly Japanese, and the wait staff are all Japanese as well. I think this is one of the few Japanese restaurants that are actually owned by Japanese. I think the only flaw is that they play too much mainstream American pop music- not too loud. It’s definitely a good place to go dating. They have two flat screen TVs as part of the decoration- it’s always showing something interesting; natural scenery, wildlife, and such.

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

I like how this place has all the key elements of a good Japanese restaurant, but in a limited menu where everything is kindof like a signature dish and unique. The drink menu is the same way. Not a ton of options, but everything is a step or two above the average place, while the prices are actually lower than the average spot. Very unique and cool. Everything we had was really good.

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!!!
