Good to know before you go
Diet & allergies
- Vegan ramen with lion's mane, spinach and fried enoki — but one takeout order arrived with pork, so double-check to-go bags
Waits & timing
- The duck ramen can sell out at lunch — they hold more for dinner
- Very new: the near-perfect rating rests on a few weeks of reviews, and busy lunches can still run slow
At the table
- Thin noodles only, in every bowl — a few critics find them soft, and the red (spicy) ramen milder than its name
- They bring truffle oil for the ramen and yuzu drops for the inari; two house chili oils on request
- Japanese beer and sake, plus hojicha and matcha drinks
- Order from the QR menu at the table; the music runs loud
- It moved here from Pacific Beach, and the PB shop is closed
Dessert or tea after Oi Shiba
- Yun Tea House Get: Dark Phoenix — the most-reviewed drink
- Beard Papa's Get: Original puff with vanilla bean custard — the one regulars come back for
- MOTW Coffee & Pastries Get: Kunafa — made to order, the one pastry everyone raves about
