Ramen Misoya Tomi

Kudos to their staff! Excellent customer service, really good rapport!
We ordered gyoza, takoyaki and seaweed salad for app. Seaweed salad is kind of watery. Takoyaki and gyoza was ok.
We had what they consider their famous ramen, kome cha su. See, I’m not a fan of eating ramen, but the hubs is. I only eat ramen whenever he brings me home some, and most of the time it’s from
Jinya.
I don’t have anything much to say. The ramen was ok. It was not that flavorful as I expected it to be (Jinya was better). The portion was really huge, and there were more meat compared to Jinya. I was only able to finish half of my bowl.
The pork tasted weird though. Lol! I don’t know how to exactly describe it, i guess the best way would be, it wasn’t raw but it tasted like it was.
Maybe we’ll be back to try something else on their menu.

This is based on my Late Night 10:30pm Check in at this establishment.
Ambience/​Service: A simple mom/​pop place with good customer service. Our server was sweet and helpful especially explaining the different types of Ramen.
Food: Portion was great but my sister and I enjoyed the broth of the soup maybe because it reminded us of Hawaii a lot and the Japanese influence on the islands. Got a seaweed salad that was fresh and consistent. However their Japanese Fried Chicken was delicious, crispy in the right places and soft and tender inside great to share with others.

This place is a hidden gem. My wife and I both ordered Kome (Hokkaido) as the waitress said it was their most popular. Wow. The broth was so flavorful, hearty and the pork slices were thick, tender, and moist. You have the option for thin or thick noodles. Warmed both of us to the bone. A real contender for Sora and Monta. We will definitely be back.

3.5 stars. They ran out of their popular pork broth! So we opted for red miso ramen which I didn’t really care for. The broth was okay and the thin noodles were nice and chewy. I might have to come back to try their pork broth so I can compare it to other ramen joints.

We ordered some take out here, so this may have affected the rating.
I don’t have too much to write. The ramen was good and the broth was good. It just wasn’t…great.
We ordered two of the same Miso Ramen.
We also ordered the Gyoza. It too wasn’t that great.
Even with the Chasu pork – I’ve had it super tender. It was very tough and hard to bite into.
I’d like to go into the location to try it out again and maybe some different ramen this time.

I was seriously craving some good miso ramen after recently having had a great one in Cali. I figured why not go to a miso ramen specialty place.
The kome miso, which is the more typical broth found in Tokyo was my preference over the mame miso, which is made from red miso paste.
I personally love thicker noodles so both ramens were ordered in the kinky noodle woooooo.
The side of spicy miso is not like ramen Sora where there’s ground meat and extra stuff incorporated. To the least, I was expecting some mixture of miso with spice, but it was korean chilli pepper paste, which is a huge shocker. Since Korean chilli paste has such a distinct flavor, and I didn’t want to taint the miso flavor, I tried adding only a little bit halfway through.
I thought the broth is good. Unfortunately, it’s not the best ever. The chashu is mehhhhh. It’s a bit tough and dry. I personally like mine to be so tender that it almost falls apart when you’re picking it up with the chopstick. Usually I would be so happy getting three pieces, but I only touched one.
The only thing I would be concerned is that the floors next to our table were dirty and gross. I couldn’t help but to be disturbed about my food cleanliness before it even arrived. I also found something in my ramen broth that was tough, and I took it out of my mouth, and first thought it was plastic. It turns out it was some tough onion skin that literally would not even tear apart, even if you tried rippling it. I told the waitress to ask what it was. She picked it up, touched it and said, «It’s onion skin.» She then had an awkward silence, and walked away. I find that strange. It seriously looked like plastic paper or something. Oh and I remember when my water cup first arrived, the cup was dirty and had green onion bits on it so we had to ask for a new cup. This was all before I even ordered my food.
Due to sanitary concerns, starting from dirty cup, to dirty floor, to onion skin in my soup, I’m continuing on my search for the best miso ramen. Unfortunately, I can do without this place.

Came here with my family on Christmas with high hopes because the reviews here are so high.
Parking: in a private lot with the other restaurants in the plaza — can get a little crowded.
Service: ³⁄₅ stars. I agree with many other reviewers here that service was slow — they were friendly but understaffed and we had to keep asking for things like napkins, water refills, chopsticks. And soup spoons.
Food: ³⁄₅. Maybe it’s because I’m from OC and we are basically ramen central but I’ve had better ramen at many other places. It wasn’t terrible but not memorable either. I’d recommend asking for the lighter broth option otherwise its too salty. The pork chashu also wasn’t my favorite and could have been more tender.
They do half portions for roughly $ 6 a bowl but because I pointed at the picture of their most popular ramen, I unknowingly ordered extra chashu as well which ended up making my bowl $ 10.

Food: the ramen here is authentic and flavorful! They have 3 different flavor intensities: regular, light, and rich. I have tried both the regular and rich and like them both. The noodles are nice and chewy and the miso broth is wonderful. I recommend getting the version with sliced pork and they have a great lunch combo.
Service: is as friendly and helpful as can be. You are always greeted and sent away with a cheerful Japanese salutation and they check on you regularly during your meal. The servers are also very patient in explaining all the menu options, so don’t hesitate to ask for guidance.
Ambiance: is basic, but clean and Japanese. It is a medium-​sized place with a simple layout and the restrooms are well-​maintained. Parking is easy in the big lot they share with other businesses in the strip mall.
Value: very good for what you get which is genuine Japanese ramen with quality ingredients and terrific taste!

Gaaaah, noodle galore.
My hubs kept talking about this Ramen joint saying how they have the best Pork and that he and his co-​workers love this place. I finally felt like noodles and needed a change from Monta (I really was just too hungry to wait in the line).
We arrive to Ramen Misoya Tomi and walk into a cute little restaurant, far larger than your other Ramen joints. At the time, it wasn’t busy so we were seated right away.
We were quickly greeted and presented with a rather large menu. I was overwhelmed because I’m not use to a big menu at a Ramen place. Could be a good thing, I mean, if you are looking for more than just ramen.
Reviewing the menu from front to back, there were explanations of the different broths. I got the Cha-​su Ramen. Wow, Jesse N. was not kidding. The Cha-​su was HUUUuuuuuuuge! I seriously didn’t even eat it all. If you look around they tell you how they put all that love into their Ramen. The Cha-​su is cooked for hours. Thats how they get those bad boys so nice and soft.
Service was great, quick, and responsive. I thought the ramen was okay. Yes, I would probably return, but honestly wouldn’t be my first choice. The broth was not the ordinary broth, it was a bit, too outside of the box for me. Worth giving it a try though.

Coming from the LA ramen scene, I expected long lunch lines after 30 minutes past their opening hour, but I was happy to see plenty of seating was available. Seeing that we weren’t locals, our waitress explained their three ramen choices:
— Kome Miso (Hokkaido style) — best selling flavor
— Shiro Miso (Kyoto Style) — regular miso soup
— Mame Miso (Nagoya Style) — they use red miso for their «bold» flavor
Personally, I’m not a fan of red miso because the flavoring is too intense for my tastes. So my wife and I opted for the Kome and Shiro lunch set. The lunch set comes with bamboo, green onions, corn, bean sprouts, a slice of chashu, and your choice of thick or thin cut noodles. Additionally, we both ordered the karage chicken as the side item. The broth for the kome miso was rich, full bodied, and deeply flavorful while the shiro miso broth was lighter but still very satisfying. The thick cut ramen was softer and chewy compared to the thin al dente noodle. The single slice of chashu they give you is very thick. Seriously. I think it’s the thickest cut I’ve seen at any ramen place. So if you don’t order the lunch set and get the regular ramen then they actually give you three slices of chashu.
I was surprised to see that the karage chicken side order had four huge pieces atop some salad. The karage chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. However, I felt that the chicken was missing some kind of dipping sauce to put it over the top.
At the end of the meal they served a small scoop of yuzu sorbet to cap off a great lunch.
The LA ramen scene is dominated by very good tonkotsu base ramen so eating a good miso base ramen is a nice change of pace.

There is no shortage of tourist traps in Vegas, restaurants included (I’m looking at you Bobby Flay!). That is why we went off strip to get some good grub. And we found it at Misoya Tomi.
The décor was simple and as un-​Vegas as you can get. No glitz, no glam, just some darn good ramen. My friend and I both got the Kome Cha Shu Ramen at the recommendation of the waitress. It did not disappoint. It was teeming with porky goodness. The Cha Shu was a combination of super soft melt in your mouth fat and pork meat. Every bite of it was both soft and firm at the same time. The noodles had a perfect firmness and the broth was very rich and flavorful.
Bottom line: If you’re tired of «celebrity» chefs. If you’re tired of gambling on food as well as table games. If you’re craving great food at a great value. Please give Misoya Tomi a visit!

This ramen noodle place is known to many.
The customer service is a hit and miss but their food is worth it.
They have 3 types of ramen which you can further customize. The ramen comes in a huge size and is VERRY authentic. If you like ramen this is definitely a place to go.
4 Starts for this great food due to customer service & wait times.

I visited this place when they first opened and didn’t have a good impression. Over a year later, I gave them another chance. My overall experience was just a «ok» …I don’t know if I am ever coming back again.
SERVICE
Slow and understaffed. My group waited 30mins just to be seated. But guess what? I see 3 empty and clean tables. I stared at the empty table and one of the server ran to me and said I have to be patient. Um ok. I see tables I could sit but sure I will wait. Also frustrating that group that came after us got their food before we even got the menu.
FOOD
I decided to get their Kome miso ramen (Hokkaido style) with their thin noodles. What is unique about their bowl of ramen is their broth. Sure, all ramen places have their own unique way to make their broth. They all have different personality.
Misoya’s specialty is miso, which is known to have many health benefits. Miso is packed with enzymes, proteins and vitamins so their broth is perfect for the cold weather when we have lower immune system.
In addition, their toppings are different from other places. My standard miso ramen came with corn, menma, ground beef and green onions. I was surprised that it didn’t come with chasyu or egg (which btw you can add on your standard ramen for extra charge). I have tried their chasyu before and remember that it was a thick slice with chew. Ground beef and corn added to the texture but I personally just like a simple bowl of ramen with few slices of tender chasyu, egg with runny yolk and some green onions.
CONCLUSION
Misoya is my choice when other ramen places are packed. I personally like Ramen Sora and Fukumimi over this one.

Stopped by this place because we saw great reviews about it and I am definitely a fan. We came in pretty hungry and were seated quickly. Inside isn’t large but was very roomy. We had a large party and they accommodated us easily.
I ordered the Kome Miso (Hokkaido Style) ramen #1 + miso flavored egg. SO GOOD. The first thing I noticed is the miso cha-​shu pork is that they give you THREE LARGE SLICES. Most places tend to skimp on the cha shu pork to save money. This is the first time I’ve seen cha-​shu pork fire grilled and it makes a world of difference in terms of flavor and aroma. You may think that they’ll skimp on the rest of it… nope! You still get hearty portions of noodles, corn, and ground pork to make sure that you have a satisfying meal. It is almost too much! The miso flavored egg is a solid addition but if you don’t have a large stomach, I don’t recommend adding it. The portions are almost too large to be true.
This is my first encounter with miso ramen and I like it a lot. I don’t know if there are any miso ramen places in San Diego but I’ll definitely look for some now. If there’s anything from this place that I would remember, it’s definitely the way they grill the cha-​shu pork. That alone would keep me coming back.

I’ve been to a numerous of Japanese Ramen joints and this one by far is up there, especially for Las Vegas. The place is not really big but most noodle shops in Japan are actually small.
I ordered the Mame Miso which came with Cha-​Shu and ground pork. Then I ordered extra spicy because I love all my ramen’s spicy. It was perfect, the cha-​shu was cooked perfectly.
Lunch time they have specials where you can get a bowl of ramen and fried rice or gyoza. It’s really an affordable place and the ramen is on point. I highly recommend this place to anybody who loves Japanese ramen.

Came here the morning after partying it out in Vegas. I usually don’t like to get Asian food in Vegas, but this place was actually pretty good. A lot better than expected.
Their Shiro Miso Ramen was good! I got the extra miso flavored egg topping, and I had no regrets. The broth was really rich. The bowls were huge, so there was plenty of food to fill me up.
Get the first combo that comes with everything. You won’t regret it. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it.

The first thing you think of when you walk in is that you feel almost as though you’re in Japan. The interior of the restaurant is not the best one I’ve seen compared to the ones that are dimly-​lit, with a modern style. No, this was brightly lighted by florescent tubes with shabby furniture and unkempt decors. No one goes hear for the ambiance. They come here for the food.
Before decided to go, I decided to call them in case there was a wait time. I don’t normally like waiting in lines. I’d rather put my name in and perhaps hangout somewhere else until it is time for me to get seated. Lucky for me and my partner, there was no wait list and was serviced right away.
This was a small restaurant, but it easily gets full on a Saturday night. Again, we were lucky enough to get seated because there were still seats available. Until the end of my meal, when I realized that the waitress was getting overwhelmed by the volume of customers. Overwhelmed but still cheery. I almost felt bad for her that I wanted to get up and help because she was just so nice to everyone.
For a Saturday night, I found it a bit interesting that there was only one waitress and two cooks. It was easy for them to get overwhelmed, but to my observation, despite their high volume, the waitress knew how to move swiftly that almost no one had to wait to the point of getting impatient.
We order two appetizers which was gyoza, and chicken karaage. I didn’t get to taste the gyoza because I was more excited the other. So, the karaage was evenly breaded, and it was paired with mayo and curry powder. Curry powder? While it sound very weird to me, I tried it anyway. If I’m not mistaken, I dipped the chicken on the mayo and then the curry powder. The combination all together was AH-​MAZING! I loved that hint of spice for the curry and the texture/​flavor of mayo! It was just heaven.
Now, to the core meal! Me and my partner both ordered the cha-​shu ramen, and it was delicious! Normally, I’m not a fan of ramen, but I randomly get cravings for them specially when the weather tends to get on the cooler side, so this was such a treat. The taste of the base was not as rich as the other ones that I’ve tried. I do believe that this was more traditional than the other restaurants that like to try «specialty» ramen and venture off with different varieties of flavor.
While eating the ramen, you can tell that there is a hint of spice in the base as my nose started to get a little runny. But I loved every bit of it, because it was delicious! The egg was also VERY delicious as it was prepared correctly. I’ve eaten in many restaurants that easily shrug serving a traditional Japanese egg, and it’s a shame because when I order them, I always pray that they get it correctly. The egg was as you guessed it, a little runny, and very firm to handle. It’s almost like handling a firm tofu. So, when you bite onto it, you get the rich texture of delicious carefully made egg!
Why a four star? I have gotten better ramen that got me saying wow before, but I really do love the effort of this restaurant. This is a solid four for me since I enjoyed the ramen and the service!

I honestly do not understand why this place is rated so high. I seriously felt so tricked after I saw the paper that said they will give free soda for a review on the table.
There are three different types of ramen to choose from. I asked the waitress what’s the difference between the three since they are named after places in Japan. She just told me Hokkaido is standard, Kyoto is light, and Nagoya heavy? Okay that doesn’t make sense at all because Kyoto ramen is suppose to be thicker and Nagoya is suppose to be in lighter soup.
I just ordered the Hokkaido style Cha-​shu ramen with egg. It was not what I expected at all. The soup tasted only soy sauce and no miso at all. The soup was on the thinner side and not very rich. The chashu was very dry and cut way to thick. The noodles were al dente but didn’t feel fresh. It was also a disappointment to see the egg cooked all the way through.
I also ordered gyoza and chicken karrage and it was just okay. The gyoza was fried good but the chicken was a little over cooked and kinda hard.
When I was given the bill, the waitress only wrote green tea with total of $ 38 for two people! Okay great I couldn’t see if she over charged me for the unwanted extra pork.
This place is way too expensive for below average ramen.

Ugh this place is so good! It’s in a hidden location but with plenty of parking. Their food is sooooo good and priced so reasonably. Their happy hour is awesome also !! Can’t complain about half off draft beer and 20% student discount.
They also have a cool poster of miso benefits!
I got the spicy miso and it was FREAKING AMAZING. The broth was perfect but a little thicker than I’m used to. The chef also hooked it up with amazing, tender, and crispy gyoza. They had such amazing service and there was no crazy wait times either. There was plentiful seating, and a super clean restaurant. I will be back!

Wow what a lovely rendition of the classic Miso Ramen. Creamy and deep. You can choose from three different Miso, all from different regions of Japan. Depending on which Miso you decide, it completely changes the base & aura of your soup. How fun!
And this place had one of the best Cha-​shus i’ve ever had. Absolutely melts in your mouth… and these are thick pieces too!
After a successful engulfing of the whole bowl of ramen, they give you a free dessert to help reset your pallet. Yuzu sherbet! mMMMm =)
Owned and ran by an extremely nice Japanese married couple.
A must try!
