Happened to stumble upon this newly opened ramen shop in Oceanside and I was pleasantly pleased with my experience at Ten Gu Ramen.
We decided to dine-in for dinner and enjoyed everything they had to offer.
The interior decor was extremely immersive, with gigantic wall-to-wall wallpaper depicting a kind of "Tokyo City Street Bar" vibe and a Japanese Anime soundtrack playlist bumping for ambiance. There were also Asian character figurines and other assorted decorations which all accentuated to the experience of being in an authentic ramen shop.
The service was attentive, friendly and very accurate. They made sure to read our orders back to us to confirm and answered all of our questions patiently. The only time they lagged in speed is when they got swamped with groups at around 7:00pm and we understood it wasn't their fault.
they just recently opened and are still hiring for positions
Our ramen was immaculate and boasting so many flavors. Their heat index scale is very flexible and accurate, so if you like a GOOD spicy heat, want the burn, but also keep the flavor, order a 5 (scaled 1 to 10) or "Medium" heat.
You can also select thick udon noodles or the thing style. After trying both, the portions are both fantastic and filling, so just go with the texture you love the most.
On a side note, it was a little odd that when we requested "extra eggs" as sides for our ramen, we received them BEFORE the ramen arrived, but I now know to request them to be served WITH the food instead.
Edamame was perfectly salted. Spring rolls were nice & hot with tasty sweet sauce and crispy to the bite.
We didn't order beer or sake, but their Thai tea is A MUST! Not just because it tastes great, but because it comes in the coolest TO-GO cup with a lid, that is perfect for re-use. It's also HUGE!!
Their bathrooms were very clean and it was just an overall excellent dining experience and I'm happy that TEN GUN RAMEN has joined the...
Read moreMade a quick spur of the moment decision to try this place for some lunch. Looks like it's brand new. As soon as I walked in, you cant see the cooking area and I couldn't see any servers but they saw me and I heard a friendly chorus of hellos and welcomes. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with chicken and a Thai iced tea. Two girls kept swapping back and forth to check on me. It seemed one of the girls was more experienced and helping the other one a little, but they were very friendly and attentive. The ramen was great, spicy and a large portion. I barely ate half and brought the rest home. I had about half my iced tea and asked for more and a to go cup, but it was already served in a to go cup with sealed top which was cool I got a new cup. Figured I'd just get some disposable plastic one. Anyway, she refilled it and I was on my way. I don't get up to that neighborhood often but will probably stop in...
Read moreOMG!!! I just had their food and it was delicious!!!! It was the chachu Ramen and pork cutlet. I got it to go and I will say the quality in taste and ingredients was amazing. Furthermore, the details in their to go products is unmatched. They carefully placed all ingredients in a separate container, above the soup. From the quality of the to-go bowl to the way the utensils are organized was so unique and carefully detailed. Also, their Tai Tea is bomb! Their cups are also super nice and sturdy. Awesome job guys! I SOOOO recommend this restaurant to all who desire a delicious Ramen meal! Oh and their “slow cooked” egg is actually…. SLOW COOKED! Yoooooo please don’t change that, don’t get lazy on us. I’m telling you there isn’t a place near here that actually has slow cook eggs in their ramen. I will most definitely be coming here over sunshine ramen...
