Awesome food. My daughter saw this place while we were heading to grab yet another burger for her at In-N-out. She said ooh lets try the Ramin house After a bunch of oh how yummy comments from her white eating, she says, Lets go here instead of grabbing a burger next time 😉I agree 👍 💯 🙆♂️ 👏 👌
Great first experience at Ramen Tap House. The owner was so sweet, atmosphere is cute and clean, food was delicious. Great Happy Hour Deals. I ordered a non-spicy ramen because I was worried to the spicy ramen bowls would be too much for me. They kindly offered to give me the difference spices / seasonings on the side so I could add a little extra heat to my preference. Looking forward to coming back frequently.
Hidden treasure in Oceanside! Small family business operation with superb customer service and fantastic dishes. The ramen, gyoza, and firecracker shrimp were amazing! Definitely going back. Highly recommended.
The ramen here is on point. The broth is nicely flavored and meats are always super tender. Service is good and the staff is friendly. The restaurant itself is clean and modern looking inside. Plenty of seating, as well as a bar area where you can get the full menu. Last but not least, theres a decent selection of beers on tap 👍
If you enjoyed this review please hit the like button.This tidy little spot is a gem. There is plenty of well lit, safe parking. While we never felt rushed we were in and out pretty quick. We split an order of firecracker shrimp and they were fantastic. My buddy had the teriyaki beef plate and I had the spicy pork ramen. Both dishes were fantastic and I will definitely return. See you there😀
After what was a very long day from working, looking for something to eat, on our way home.We were welcomed with a genuine smile and fantastic service way better than i have seen in quite a while from other restaurantsThe Ramen itself was mouth-watering delicious, I highly recommend the black knight with extra pork and eggIf you want great food and great hospitality, this is the one place you will for sure find it!!! This family owned restaurant has for sure earned my customer loyalty
Went in with my family for a quick bite and we would definitely come back. The vibes inside reminded us of our trip to Japan. Studio Ghibli galore! The employees were super sweet and patient with us (we loved our Lychee Sake thank you), and the sauces on the edamame/gyoza was so unique and delicious. Will definitely bring more friends next time (:
The food could have been better our maybe I choose the wrong ramen black knight btw, the gyoza was good though pan fried. I dont know if it was because they are low on staff as the sign said but it just seemed like it wasnt made with love to me. Ive had better. I gave them 3 stars for presentation and the host was nice.
Ok place for noodles. I went for lunch and was seated right away. I prefer my ribeye med rare, but got well done. Oh well, I may try dinner service for comparison.
My friend and I wanted to try a different ramen place outside of our regular ramen spot and chose this place because of its amazing pictures from other reviewers!We ordered takoyaki and firecracker shrimp to start off with. The takoyaki and firecracker shrimp were both very good. He liked the firecracker shrimp more than the takoyaki and I preferred the takoyaki more (but to be fair I absolutely love takoyaki in general). It was so, so good. They were both very good, but if you aren’t much of a fishy taste fan, stick with the shrimp! It’s the best of both worlds.For ramen he ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen with extra noodles and extra chashu. He said he liked it, but it had a bitter taste and was pretty salty. I have to agree.I ordered the Black Knight with extra noodles and spicy both. Out of what we ordered, we both agreed the Black Knight was definitely better. It was so rich and tasty. I could see the black sesame oil being a little much for some people, but it was honestly the best ramen I’ve tasted in this area so far.We’ll definitely visit again to try more ramen!
This place is so good! So you go in, order your food and pay first then you find a seat and they bring out your food. The girl at the register was so sweet and recommended the mega pig which was so delicious! I also ordered the fire cracker shrimp which was also good but I was hoping for a little more spice in it. It was actually a little more on the sweater side, but still good! And I also got the takoyaki which was so so good! Best I’ve had in a while! The Mega Pig had a sheet of seaweed (will ask for more next time), bamboo, six pieces of pork, one medium boiled egg cut in half and a fried egg topped with green onion. The broth was rich and the noodles were super authentic. Although I prefer a thicker noodle in my ramen, these noodles were delicious and held the flavor very well. And the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous! Perfect for a date night!
This place has delicious food... I am sorry no pictures of empty bowls.😋😋 The owner is super friendly. My kids love it when the chef calls out the dishes from the kitchen. Very clean and cozy and hearty helping of yummy food too. This is our second time here. We love it.🙏
Very clean and kind staff. The ramen was authentic, flavorful, and very filling~ perfect for brunch. The cute artwork adds a nice touch to the atmosphere.
Been coming here every couple weeks for a while now. My favorite ramen place around. Been to almost all the ramen spots LA and south. Best flavor. Best portions
I loved this place, and I came here often. This, though, is not acceptable:((Closed due to “vermin infestation”)
Great food even during the global pandemic. Everybody was wearing their masks appropriately. My only gripe was that the water didnt have any ice - probably due to some regulation. But food was great as always!
Great ramen with fun decor! Amazing staff was a bonus! I ordered the Skinny Pig (Vegan) and added shrimp! We also got fried Oysters. Will be coming back again!
It’s cozy, food is good, and staff are friendly. Super cute vibes and decor. They have Sapporo and Asahi on tap so that’s a plus!
Ordered ribeye teriyaki bowl...menu clearly stated $13.50....I was charged $15.00. I confronted cashier and he said the manager just hadnt changed prices on menu. Would not adjust to printed menu price. Completely irresponsible business practices and customer service. Cashier was even saying rude things when I left. Wont be back
Manager is never there. Worker socialize with customer to long. Ignore other customers. They dont wash their hands after working with dirty dishes, and cleaning. Take their break do school work, and forget they have customer in the restaurant. You have yell to get there attention.
Fantastic food and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Cant wait to return and try even more on the menu.
Definitely recommend the Miso Hot bowl if youre looking for a spicy noodle. The spice and flavors arent overwhelming or too strong. Good amount of noodles and toppings. Personally, I would add an extra amount of meat if you want extra protein.This place differs from other ramen places as it requires you to order first at the counter, than you take your seat. Menu options arent complicated so it wasnt too confusing on what to order for first timers. The overall experience was great though! Great service and our food arrived quickly too.
Open for dine-in!! :) First time visiting here and didnt know what to get. I eventually got the Wulan Ramen and fried calamari. They were both good. However, the ramen was a tiny bit salty for my taste. Great customer service!! Such a pretty restaurant as well. Recommend trying them put.
Ramen is usually good when you eat it there. Katsu curry was okay.Service is always good! Everyone is really nice.
Me and my fiancé came to this little restaurant called Wu Lan Ramen and it was amazing the workers were so nice great and were able to help us on what we needed they were so amazing food came out fast and perfect I would come back again thank you so much to the workers and cook they have done an amazing job!!!!☆☆☆☆☆
Just came here for the first time with my wife and we both loved it! Nice lighting, cool vibe, good service and yummy food. The Teriyaki chicken was really good. We had a great experience and will be back soon!
Friendly service and the ramen was delicious. I highly recommend trying a chicken belly bun. Will definitely add this place to our dinner options.
Great ramen, amazing appetizers! Im in love with their pork buns and firecracker shrimp. They have beer on tap and have japanese sodas which are awesome. A must try on your list!
The food here was delicious, if a bit over priced. The atmosphere was casual and inviting. One of the waitresses even showed my sister the proper way to use chopsticks!
My favorite Ramen place so far. I love the mega pig and the chicken curry cutlet
Be sure to check your bill against the price you see on the menu!They had increased their prices recently and you can see a paper pasted over the old pricing. Understandably they had to increase their prices due to inflation. As we are regulars, we ordered and paid as usual. And we checked the bill after that and saw that the price that the register rung up was higher than the increased price stated on the menu. When we asked the cashier, she just said the boss make another increase again! We were there last month and the price was still the old price. Does it mean they raised price twice within a month or so? We would appreciate if the staff could notify us of the extra increase in price upon order of the food, or when we were looking at menu in front of her - not after we paid and we had to ask why are we charged more?!We felt cheated (although we give benefit of the doubt to them and perhaps it is just a case of not managing the price increase properly and not educating the staffs how to communicate to customers).The cashier did not offer to rectify the bill to honour the price on the menu. And just said they are coming up with new menu with the new (increased) prices.I am disappointed with their actions and responses. Stores would have honored the prices on price tag/on shelves if register ring up a higher price. In this case it was not, and no apologies were given.When we asked for take away box, we were pointed to a corner and asked to take the boxes ourselves. But we saw them taking to-go boxes for other customers. There wasnt anyone to check if we are doing okay during the meal as well (and they are well-staffed tonight) Not to mention, they start switching off the lights before we are done and it was slightly before 8 pm! (Note: Google says they are open till 9 pm but no, they close at 8pm Sat)We wish we can make payment after the meal and make sure we tip to reflect the (poor) quality of service we received. But because we had to pay upon ordering, we felt that over-tipped for todays poor service.My family visits almost monthly. But we dont think we will be there regularly anymore. The margin of price increase also made it less worth it for the bucks we pay compared to other ramen shops we frequent in Carlsbad.Just want to put it out here to let fellow consumers know and to make sure to check your bill for discrepancy and over charging.
Great place to have ramen and Japanese cuisine! Definitely stop by this place and enjoy the food, drinks, atmosphere, and friendly staff. TD-Corps makes the best custom ramen when coming to Wulan!!
Used to be great... lately portions have gone down and prices have gone up, not consistent at all. I feel cheated this last time I bought 42$ worth of food from them and I got this.... 14$ for this ramen??!?! I don’t think so, it was basically a 14x more expensive cup of noodles.
Just sat down for lunch, and since they asked me to prepay AND leave a tip before being served (Isn’t a tip based on the service?) they will therefore get 3 stars. Ask me to prepay, you get a pre-review and rating.Strange.
Good food for good price. The place was clean and the staff friendly. Will be back
The food here was really good, friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere I highly recommend
Little pricey but the food and portion size are worth it. The drawback is the wait and the occasional forgetting to serve the drinks like the tea you ordered.
Great ramen and apps! Happy hour is also pretty good
If you had any other good ramen experience, you will know how bad is this ramen. The booth is bad, noodle texture is bad, chachu is bad. How come it is 4.4 on google. Come on people.
Best. Freaking. Ramen. Ever. Must try the Miso Hot/Spicy (dont remember the exact name) every time Ive gone in the staff was welcoming and sweet!
Great ramen and sushi! Awesome art everywhere.
Super fast service. Delicious, flavorful, rich ramen. Nice people.
Taste good!My opinion about Calmari I wish they make it more crunchy and change sauce to hot sauce work best with Siracha.
Very tasty, we tried the pork belly bowl. Staff very friendly and attentive
The smell isnt the most pleasant when you first walk in but the taste of the Ramen makes up for it.
Very nice ramen, quiet dining area
I had a very pleasant experience at Wu Lan and will definitely be coming again. The staff was amazing and very friendly. The ramen was some of the best Ive had in a while and cheaper than other shops youd find in LA or SD. The interior is comfy and the music matches. Highly recommend.
The food is tasty! I really like the pork belly meal Holy moly.
Pretty damn good ramen and super portions.
One of the best ramens I’ve had hands down. The staffs were also very sweet and accommodating. Not only is the food good, but the place is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the cute studio ghibli paintings on the walls, it created such a nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!
Just Ok, first the serving temperature of the Ramen broth was not hot enough, just warm, the boiled eggs were actually cold. Taste was not very rich. Menus need to be updated with current prices...
Im updating my review. Food was still good no denying that but the price has skyrocketed for everything. Serving sizes are also smaller too. However im just annoyed at the prices for everything. We were given a menu that had a price and we were charged more for each item. When my husband brought it up the employee said it was the price it was ringing up as, which was a full dollar more then what was on the menu we were given.I get it- shrinkflation is going on but idk. It kinda sucked.Maybe make sure all the menus are updated to the correct price.---------If you arent feeling like driving to Convoy and having ramen down there, this place is 100% amazing. A very close competitor to something down there. The Black Knight is hands down the best.
Wu Lan is tucked back, so it might be hard to spot, but it’s well-worth a visit. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff, and delicious ramen. Looking forward to returning!
Sucha wonderful experience. Very cute and fun atmosphere and great tasting food and service. For real love this spot, will be coming back for sure!!! Numberous times.
Delicious!! Truly a treat. The staff was delightful, the food was awesome. I had never had ramen before and I started with the chicken. It was delicious! Made me want to come back and try other things! It got a tad pricey for my family of 4 but worth it, as even my picky eaters left smiling!
Best ramen I’ve ever had in my life😋
I ordered the Chili Blossom Ramen to go. It was still steaming hot when i got it home. The broth was rich and nourishing with the perfect amount of heat-a generous amount of really flavorful pork belly and oodles of perfectly cooked noodles. Service was fast and friendly. Ill definitely be making this a regular order.
We were a party of 17 and called ahead for a reservation. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food came out in a timely manner and roughly the same time. Ramen soups are very generous portions and the broth is very savory. Perfect ambience for our family get-together. Thanks for a great meal!
Every single family member loved it. My grandpa even said it was “very good”, which is A LOT for those who don’t know my grandpa 😂 everything was delicious. Atmosphere is adorable
Went on a Tuesday afternoon, the ramen was really good, noodles tasted fresh, and had decent flavor. Down side?... the temperature of the soup was mediocre, not really hot, a microwave could have done a better job heating it up. When I asked for extra cilantro, lemon, and a fork, I was told that they would accommodate me for now but next time they would charge. 😲 I thought that was so strange. I just spent $15 on a soup and they charge extra for lemon slices and cilantro?
My kids went last week and by the time they left, they were craving it so they went this week and brought me. Its amazing. I got the vegetarian ramen with creamy broth and without cilantro. Because really, that stuff is gross. You can make adjustments to the meal. Nice cold water from a bottle. They have some booths and some table and chairs. They have a TV that plays 6 sports channels with no sound. It can get busy, and theres a reason. Its delicious and the staff are very friendly.
Even better than it looked! (Photo is time lapse of approx 2 seconds)
Love this ramen house! The staff and cooks are always so welcoming when you come in and the food is always perfect. Like traditional Ramen Houses, it provides a homey soul food feel the whole time you are there. My friend and I love to visit this location as well due to the fact that they sell Orion beer (a real treat for those from Japan). I would happily visit again and this has become our go to Ramen House.
Mega Pig or Wu Lan Ramen are Super good, just depends how hungry you are. Always a couple good beers on tap too!
Was looking forward to this place as it was 4.5 stars. I was absolutely astonished by how gross this was. Iv eaten at military chow halls better than this on camp pendleton. I seriously can make better ramen in a jet boil. Cant even rate zero stars. What a disgrace.
The staff are always very friendly. They can fit a surprisingly large party in their dining room in the back. You order at the front and they deliver the food to your table. The food is pretty good. Im not a super big fan of Ramen, and I can usually find something I enjoy to eat. They do not have anything but canned sodas, but they have pretty good tasting water. Miranda was awsome! Would recommend even though not a big fan of ramen.
Food was very good, but its definitely Americanized to a degree. The taco rice was great but varied greatly from what we got in Okinawa. The spice in the Chic ramen seemed more like a Tabasco kind of spice than what I had grown accustomed to.All that said the food was very good and my kids ate all their food and some of mine!
Probably one of the best ramens I’ve had in California. Fun atmosphere.
We just went here for the first time and we will 100% be back! We were served by Michi (hopefully I’m spelling that correctly) and she even brought a bowl of water outside for our dog- I love dog friendly restaurants! She was so sweet and the food was delicious, my kids had pretty good sized teriyaki chicken bowls that had fresh veggies and I had the teriyaki dinner plate that came with salad and a scoop of potato salad and miso soup. The prices were also reasonable, if you’re on the fence give it a try!
The takeout process for Wu Lan Ramen Tap House is efficient. I made my order by phone which I was advised was prefered. They do not do any online ordering. The pickup and payment was done with minimum contact. We ordered a variety of items and everything was packed really well. I appreciated that the ramen broth was in three containers and this prevent spillage. The food is delicious. I highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant.Be aware that parking can be tight in this particular shopping center.
It is rare that I really love a Ramen and be impressed by the flavor. I enjoyed many Ramen in my life but this Mega Pig Ramen is amazing. Adding the black sesame and fresh garlic to it made it exceptional.The chicken karaage was authentic and spot on in terms of flavor and temperature. The parsley topping should be left off and instead a second piece of lemon would be beneficial.The service was extremely friendly and accommodating and the waiting time was ok given how much time and effort is put into this Ramen as you can see in the picture.I would highly recommend this Ramen place and I only went there because I was in the area and it was not closed on a Sunday. I will certainly visit again.
Our family loves this place! The ramen is always 🔥🔥, we all get different types, and they are all equally as good. Super quick and huge portions. An added bonus is that they have Orion beer, from Okinawa!
Excellent ramen house. The portions are very large. Flavor is great. Well worth a trip to get your fix.Not many tables so take out is a definite choice if crowded.I had the hot ehi which while flavorful was not burn me. And enjoyable.Wife had naked and loved it.
We love it here. Just note that it closes at 8:30pm on Sundays. They start cleaning around 8:10-15, so dine is not really an option after 8pm
Great selection of tasty Asian food. We had hot sake, gyozas, and the Wu Lan ramen. Everything tasted great and we were delighted with their service. This is a favorite stop when returning from the Native American reservations in East County.
Low key place. Food and service excellent. I recommend the soft shell crab, in addition to the ramen.
Whenever I have to leave a tip before service Im always a little concerned. That being said I wouldnt leave a full tip here. The ramens we tried were good. The only odd thing is the spicy miso uses a tabasco like sauce as the spice, possibly Franks red hot or Tapatio. While adding a good kick I couldnt untaste it after I realized it and also found it odd to use over a chili paste. Tonkotsu was on par. Noodles were good. Chashu was flavorable. The marinated eggs here are great. The buns we ordered were good but a little sparse in the meat serving. You get an incredibly thin slice of pork belly. Overall I would return because there really isnt good ramen in the area except Beshock and there are more items I wish to try.
Great delicious ramen, good friendly service. We tried vegan, chicken and regular pork - all highly recommended!
Nice Local Japanese Restaurant. Their customer service matches their tasty food.This place can get busy so have a seat.Not recommend for fast foods.Does take out!Customer Service: Great 5/5Quality of food: Great! 5/5Price: Affordable $$/$$$
Great Ramen, with friendly staff and the artwork on the walls is awesome. Especially if you love anime!
Great Ramen, pretty close to what I had for years in Okinawa, plus Orion Beer!
Amazing Ramen!! Love the broth!! Its not too salty but just right!! The calamari was delicious! I was able to get a small sample of the light Sapporo. Amazing staff and very friendly!
This is a typical strip mall restaurant. It features Japanese food. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a few trendy tap beers. I liked the food and beer and recommend the place. Not a lot of atmosphere but the staff was very friendly.
I wish I could give this 4 stars but doesnt really deserve 3 either. My main concern is the selection of ramen. I thought there would be quite a few different types of ramen and honestly the one I orderedi was just Okay, not great as I was expecting. I have been to other sushi places that have better ramen than here. The shrimp platter is pretty good. Nice atmosphere but seem to have gotten a bit of a bad attitude and high tone of voice from one of the waitresses. Again, great atmosphere not so great food and one bad waitress. It was my first time here and I dont think I will return to this place.
The food isnt bad, Ive had better and worse. Probably would have given 4 stars but I felt tricked when I got there. The name is Wu Lan Ramen TAP HOUSE but they only had 2 taps (one of which was dry), and 4 bottled choices (2 of which they were out of) so I think calling it a tap house is kind of deceiving since when someone reads tap house in the name theyre usually expecting around 10 choices on tap at a minimum. On a side note, although the food wasnt bad it did seem to be better the last time I went about 4 months ago. I dont know, maybe I was having a bad tastebud night. I might give the food another shot just to see.
The food isnt bad, but the teriyaki doesnt taste like real Japanese teriyaki. The service is AWFUL. Wed never been before and had a party of 4. We were the only people in the place so we seated ourselves prior to ordering and waited for the rest of our party. We were approached and told us we cant do that. Okay. No problem. We go to order and we tell him its all separate, but he ends up swiping ONE card for the entire order, despite us all saying separate tickets and him saying Ill split it at the end. The staff just had a very rude, pretentious vibe about them. The food was okay, but Id never return just from how rude the staff was. To tell us its our fault for ordering the way we did and then our fault for one guy paying was just... no.
It was my first time being there and the cashier was very helpful and suggested a very delicious looking meal( didnt even got a chance to try it)((skinny pig)) for my husband that has been having a hard time eating cuz of a tooth ache. Next time i will order something for my self.
My husband has been to Japan for work (marines) and he said this place is very comparable to the Ramen they have there. We got our food for take out. He said his noodles seemed prepackaged but that was his only complaint. I got a rice and whatever bowl. It was YUGE (huge but like how Trump says it), very delicious.
The ramen here is fantastic, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you enjoy your meal. All of the ramen varieties are well thought out and match with the beers available on tap. I fully recommend anyone in this area of Oceanside to stop by and try the place! You wont be disappointed!
Outstanding Ramen. Must try. Happy hour $3 Sapporo and Asahi, cant beat that
Great ramen and service. Staff is so friendly!
I don’t know what happened in that kitchen the night I ordered a bowl of simple ramen with Charsu and an order of Gyoza. A few hours later I had the worst case of food poisoning I ever had. Losing it at both ends and not even being able to stomach fluids. Had to go to the hospital to get myself checked out. Ya’ll need to do an overview of your sanitation routine in the kitchen because this experience almost put me ramen off for good.
We drive completely out of the way to go here because its worth it. It is more modern than traditional but we love absolutely love it. Ive tried many of the Ramens and various appetizers. My favs are the mega pig and ebi hot. I havent been disappointed yet
To those of us North County people who would drive down to Convoy/Kearny to get good Ramen, the drive is over. The ramen wave has hit us like (poke, burgers, pizza, beer already have).Historically in North County Teri’s had the best noodles and pork, but lacked the broth, but their noodles could be taken home and like every real ramen lover, their love came from home cooking and something too easy to not attempt at home. We’ve all had too many failed attempts to get ramen at Japanese restaurants we eat at but we forget Japanese could mean sushi, could be izakaya, could be ramen, could mean teriyaki, it’s way to broad. After a few of those we just stopped and committed to getting our fix at proper spots.Service is excellent, I’ve never had a bad experience here service wise and I’m pretty sure I’ve been served by everyone. Décor is great, very cool hand drawn chalkings, but the lighting which looks like little death stars that expand and contract (I still like my picture the most “deathstar underskirt). The décor is warm and inviting despite the naked windows. I waited and waited and waited to write this after they got their beer & wine license, but 10 months is too much, they now have bottled but do not advertise, so the empty taps are still empty. Portions are good, be careful with ramen because it expands more than other carbs. Wulan is their standard offering, mega pig is their sort of double pork offering with both chashu and smoked pork belly. Both use the tonkatsu style creamy pork broth. Blank Knight is similar to Wulan, but with mayu or black garlic oil (ultra fried) adding another element. They don’t keep toasted sesame seed oil on the table which I’d like to see. Their miso used in hot chick, miso hot and skinny chic is a great building block. The hot chick does have some kick. I love the wood ear mushrooms they are a nice contrast versus bamboo shoots which most places use. I wish they offering the Hokkaido style butter addition. I expected corn to be a non add on. Their eggs are barely marinated, but never overcooked.The takoyaki is light on the sauce which is nice, the firecracker shrimp is good without all that breading. The pork bun is good and actually a very under eaten dish I think many people will be more apt to try as their apps are limited. Soft, warm, doughy, light, but great umami with the bold pork.The honey sriracha wings are ok, I really prefer the malay chicken wings from compass when I’m trying an “Asian” style wing. At least it’s not baked like some places. The Chashu bowl is sort of their version of a bibimbap and a little naked. I expected more considering they do well by offering lots on their ramen as the colors and flavors make things pop. If you have picky kids this may not be the greatest place as they don’t offer a chicken and rice dish, though they can modify things the menu again is pretty limited. If you aren’t here for ramen, and you shouldn’t if you aren’t, then you may find fault in them, when it really is within you. The whole sit down versus order thing is only because the 2nd door is unmarked (they really should say enter through other door to properly guide people through the process)Prices are affordable with $9 being the base for wulan, chicken, skinny and that’s about all you’ll need, most people don’t get apps like I do. Surprisingly they take home well too if you order for pick up. I love the hand written messages on the paper bags make you feel welcome and cared for in a way. The bottled carafe water service is really niceFor now your late night ramen needs can still only be filled further south, but you won’t be left wanting during normal hours here in Oceanside.
Im so picky with my ramen and theirs was absolutely delicious, even as takeout! I usually get meatless ramen because I dont like other places meat, but even their meat was great. Definitely recommend.
Went here today with my girlfriend. Had the big pig. The Broth was way too salty. The noodles were as bland as instant noodles. Not to mention there was very little food at all, left the place still hungry. No customer service at all. Would not eat here again.
I judge ramen by its noodles as much as the additives and this place does not make its own noodles. You can tell they were from a box or bag. I got the Wu Lan ramen and the pork was excellent. The mushrooms were a little bland, and the bamboo was not fresh/overcooked. My partner had the teriyaki plate and the steak was really dry. Overall, I wouldnt come back.
My second time eating here and it has been incredible both times! The employees are super helpful and kind. Will definitely continue to eat at this little gem.
I can’t think of anything negative to say. I am a big big fan of ramen, and this place is now one of my favs on all the west coast. I got the hot chic, which isn’t spicy (to me) but has some kick, and a toooon of flavor. One thing I enjoy is their menu bowls have all the fixins already in them, including the soft boiled egg. Instead of a lot of ramen shops I’ve been to where you have to add that for a price.Their little macaron ice cream sammiches are to die for, too. Do suggest this place!!
Service is ultra super slow. Server never checked if we needed something and the main ramen came after 30min even there wasnt any other customer. I felt they were so relaxed so never paid attention to us. If I did not ask in person and walk to them I wouldnt get any service.Miso ramen was super salty and spicy so my kids count finish it.They would need to reconsider the service and level of salt in the plates.
Theyve got excellent deals during happy hour. The staff is very friendly and they let you know whats going on.Their sake bombs come with extra shots of sake, really good deal.
Best Ramen I ever had. Strongly suggest the mega pig bowl you wont regret it!! Excellent customer service and food was ready in minutes.
Went here because our normal place had a long wait so didnt know what to expect. Wewere not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and the ramen was amazing. Will definitely be coming back.
If your looking for traditional delicious Ramen stop right here.... CONGRATULATIONS YOU FOUND THE BEST RAMEN IN TOWN! My husband is obsessed with Ramen and we have looked high and low and this place is DELICIOUS!
Great ramen and sides were great too. Lots of great flavor and portions were good. Service was good too.
Bland ass ramen. The broth tasted like it was made from an instant ramen powder. Cant believe I paid for such a disappointing meal. I eat ramen pretty often and when I ate here it was really an insult to my taste buds. No wonder it was way out in the middle of a city where most people wouldnt know how good ramen should taste. Only way they could stay in business serving that. There was barely any noodles either. I finished eating all the noodles after 7 unenthusiastic bites. And yes I did count, because it was visible how little of noodles you get. So, disappointing. Dont waste your money.
Fantastic service! So friendly and we were served quickly. The food was authentic, delicious, and plated beautifully. Casual atmosphere and loved the decor. I will definitely be returning.
Everything is always delicious and the service is great!!
Tasty ramen and appetizers, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere!
Amazing vegan options. They have 3 different broths, but only tried the miso and the creamy broth. Both were super delicious. Thank you for offering vegan options that are actually really good!!!!! And greatttttttt service!!!!!
Good ramen, but found a short piece of metallic wire that grocery stores use to bunch up coriander in the bottom of the soup bowl. Their prep chefs need to more careful !
Although the noodles were just a bit undercooked (there is a major difference between undercooked and firm noodles), overall was pretty good. The broth was flavorful and grabbed onto the noodles, the ramen egg was on point, and the chasu was flavorful. Bring cash for a discount.
Its a great place to go when you are craving Asian ramen in the area but nothing like real Asian ramen. The service was great, the topping were good, downside the broths was mediocre, both the regular pork broth and spicy ebi broth. Especially the spicy ebi broth tasted odd, kind of like adding rooster sauce to bland flavored water. Regardless, if you are in Oceanside and need some warm soup or have a hangover? head over to Wu Lan Ramen!
My local ramen joint. Ive been to places that always overcook a ramen egg, dont have to worry about that here. Their Char-su is very tender and flavorful. If your into mushrooms and bamboo chutes, youll like it here.They use mostly pork broth, but they do have a vegan and miso option.
This is great curry. I always rate the best of what a restaurant does within North County and definitely cutlet with curry.
Friendly staff and great food. Large portions. Had pork katsu which around here is hard to find. Good prices too for the portion sizes. Well be back!
I havent had THAT much ramen, but this is the best place Ive had by far. Got the Black Knight, was solid. Super Pig also a great choice, much larger quantity though.
Very tasty ramen! Some people might say its too oily, but I like it. Try the Black Knight, and add some extra pork if youre a meat kinda person 😊 this is our to go ramen place in Oceanside.
I see the efforts. But again, North county fails in flavor and ingenuity compared to Clairmont/Mira Mesas grandiose array of top notch ramen spots who triumph in tasty broth and noodles done right. Also;Temperature is lacking, and thier hot green tea is not traditionally brewed but in tea bags instead. Wah, wah, waaaaaaahh..
Delicious from the jump. Delicate dumpling wrap with crispy spots where they were fried.Savory broth with perfect noods and delectable ingredients.
Excellent service, wait staff are really friendly, happy hour prices for small bites are cheap, and most importantly the food is great. Also the only place around here that has good takoyaki.
Im glad we have a Ramen house in Oceanside.Their ramen is really good👍🏼
Found the place by accident. Not expecting much since I was starving!. And lost. It was 2 in the afternoon.Theres a bar area (no alcohol yet-maybe June) as you enter the front.There was todays special sign by the cash resister. Missed it😩!Ordered from the menu MegaPig (Creamy pork broth, pork chashu, smoked pork belly[smokey yumm], seasoned egg, fried egg, green onion, bamboo and shredded seaweed.I was extremely surprised at all the various flavors coming together.Had to back off on slurping the soup itself. It was a very LARGE Bowl! If youve been trying to try authentic ramen. This is definitely the place. If youre already a fan and looking for a place to check out in Oceanside-San Diego county. This is a definite must.
Good selection on the menu and very friendly service. I tried the MegaPig and I liked it enough to want to go back. Also, they serve Calpico - youll want to try it if youve never had it.
I love this place, its delicious. The entire place is so clean and the service is amazing. The vegan skinny pig is my favorite, so much flavor.
This place never fails to deliver. The ramen is spot on and the side dishes are awesome. Everything is hot and fresh and the service is always pleasant
I lived in Japan for years. Not very good ramen. From looking at the menu I already knew the ramen wouldn’t be good. Then from trying it it was confirmed. Got a chicken bowl of some sort and the food was not even warm.
My husband and I are huge fans of this establishment. Great food, nice ambiance, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. This is our usual place for double dates with our friends.
Been coming here for 2 years. Their ramen is the best! Their gyoza is also top notch. They hace great prices and a wonderful staff as well. Their food is an instagrammer and foodies dream.
Good tasting broth, good tasting noodles. Very quick turn around time. Only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that it isnt hot enough.
Ive been here a couple of times now and each time Ive really enjoyed it. The food and the atmosphere is great. The food portions are nicely sized.
I wish the soup was hotter when they serve ramen... and they boiled noodles too long... those simple things could improve easily! So maybe in the future I could give 5 stars from me.
Got the hot miso. It was fire. I cant believe Ive waited this long to go. My kids loved the food too. Its going to be a regular spot.
My ramen I ordered was delicious. My husband’s ramen was good, but the broth was oily. The employees were also kind!
The food is good. however, PICK UP YOUR PHONE!! literally every time i want to give this place my money through a to go order, they dont answer. its like they dont want my money.
They had my food ready in a short period of time. I really enjoyed everything I got. I will definitely be going back!
My daughter took us here and it was wonderful. Food was great and innovative and the place was quirky and fun. Staff was super nice. Loved it!
Idk what’s been going on here lately. Staff are more concerned about getting out on time than taking care of the customer. Had to wait 45 min for the cold salty food we received. The manager was unable to do anything about the cold food they said “sorry for the inconvenience but there is nothing we can do”
The Ramen here is great, there are many tasty dishes to choose from so I am hoping for a five star future. Edit: The 5 star future......has arrived.
Best Ramen in North County, hands down. Laid-back atmosphere, good service, and they have beer.
My go-to is the mega pig! Delicious grilled pork, fried egg, hard egg, and a creamy pork broth. Hits the spot 🤙
Ive had a few of the bowls here and its always a great treat. The Mega Pig is my favorite one so far.
Loved it! Delicious food prepared right, go here with a buddy or a date if you are looking for a nice bite to eat and just chill.
Friendly service and delicious ramen. Have tried several of the varieties and havent had a bad experience.
Best Gyoza 🥟 and Takoyaki 🐙 EVER
Trying the Ebi shrimp Ramen today. Jennifer is always so good to us. Love this place. I encourage you to come in and give this place a try
Friendly staff delicious food and a mellow atmosphere that is welcoming to all. Be sure to try a bowl of ramen when you can!
The soup tasted nasty and the waitress was rude and in a hurry mind you it was only 2 other customers with me in the restaurant DO NOT GO! EXPENSIVE!
Unfortunately we did not get to eat there. The place is so tiny and it was very crowded; first we were told we had to order before sitting, then another person says we have to order and wait for table availability. They dont seem to know how to manage their customers. Shame!
Come here all the time, love the food and the friendly staff. One of my favorite places to eat, never a long wait for food either. 😁👍
Great place to get your ramen fix after a visit to Japan. Well made noodles and unlimited green onions, you really cant go wrong.
Great food and staff. Love coming here!! TD-Corps sure makes the best custom ramen when going to Wulan!!!
First time there, I got the fried oysters and calamari. Wulan chicken romen was pretty good!
The best ramen spot in San Diego for me - the closest one i compare with to ramens in Japan. I recommend the wulan ramen with Orion beer
Great selection of noodles. Very teasing. Order first then sit. The food is then delivered to your place.
This restaurant is not only delicious but the service is great and the food came out quickly. Highly recommended.
Delicious place to eat. Been here 10+ times and never have been disappointed. Staff are always friendly.
First time here and the Ramen was perfect! Found my new go-to spot in north county.
I love this place. Makes me miss Okinawa. So friendly. Great price. Food is amazing.
Glad we have a decent ramen place in North County. It’s not health food but yummy. Like it!
Well, apparently you can have gluten free noodles but nothing else on the menus is gluten free. Confused? Me too.
Very tasty Ramen but I warn you if you don’t like real spicy Ramen, don’t order kimchi Ramen 🤯 I love the fried soft shell crab, you gotta try it!!!
The Absolute best place to eat ramen!! I have yet to find another place like The Tap House
I got the Get Naked ramen as take out. Pretty dang good. Good portion, ready very fast.
Excellent food! Soups and curry sauces are on pointe, and the atmosphere is modern and upbeat.
The ramen here is delicious! Hard to find a ramen restaurant in North county but this one is great!
Recommend 100% is clean and the employees are really nice there’s also paintings on the wall which is super cute !!!
Helpful staff who explained the menu new and old favorites. Food was tasty and fresh great vibe !

Solid 5. Food is delicious, staff is accommodating and friendly. Its an allrounder
Good ramen choices, tasty broth
Fantastic smoked pork belly. Flavorful broth. Good service. North county needed this place.
The noodles tasted stale and gross. The ambiance was nice but we were disappointed by the food.
Great ramen here. Id recommend the Wulan ramen for any first time guests!
Love the Ramen here!
Ramen was too salty. Service was okay. Their shrimp appetizer was good.
Chili Blossom. Savory with a bit of spice.We also got the wulan ramen which wasnt my fav. Had a bit of sweetness to it.
Food is great n so are the employees. Love it everytime i come to eat some ramen
Best place for ramen in the oceanside area hands down. Try their mega pig and fire cracker shrimp!
Ramen is delicious. What more can you ask for from a ramen house? Try the black sesame oil.
Awesome place, great service, delicious food and relaxing atmosphereHot Ramen and ice cold beer 🍺🍜
Great authentic Japanese food at a reasonable price! Friendly and quick service!
My husband loves this place! Good ramen and pork stickers 😋
The food is fantastic, the menu is extensive, and the staff are always helpful and efficient.
Having lived in Japan for 3 years this place is great the real deal. Great price great service just 5/5.
My first time eating here and I was very pleased with service and the food was so delicious!!
Happy hour is the best 3 dollar pints and takyaky 3 for an 8 piece
Great place!

2023-06-13 15:04:27Order at the counter and in just a few minutes your steaming hot ramen will be out of the kitchen and on your table. The ramens are pretty much $14 with a few outliers. The spicy miso soup was good and the service friendly.

2022-08-29 05:42:59Time of service: 5 starsYou order upfront and choose your seat, it wasn’t packed for a Saturday night. Vibe was super chill and Japanese. All orders came out in about 15 mins.Calamari: 5 StarsBest Calamari I’ve ever had, not too much breading, not too little, sauce was the right kind of tangy, and the squid was cooked perfectly and chewy.Ramen: 4 starsEgg was not the primo sweet egg, The chicken was slightly burnt on the edges and dry but the chicken broth made up for it.The mushrooms were soft, delicious, and the ramen was delicious as well.Takoyaki: 5 starsSoft, chewy, and melted in your mouth. Delicious. One order is enough for 3 people.Overall 4.75 stars

2023-11-27 17:44:42Last month I called and made a reservation for 6 people and 2 babies. This was our first time coming here - my aunt said she wanted really good ramen - I did some research and found Wu-Lan and several reviews saying how close it was to the ramen you would get in Japan. The owner was an absolute sweetheart. Usually you order at the front but she was so kind and allowed us to order from the table. She truly went above and beyond. This place is incredible - great atmosphere, kind service, DELICIOUS authentic ramen and you can tell it’s made with love and passion. Thank you for being there! You made my family’s evening! Also - we had people who were celiac and needed to have gluten free and vegan people and they could accommodate all of our group. WU LAN IS THE BEST!

2023-03-15 06:42:18Went on the weekday and it was busy however I dislike ordering food before sitting down and had to wait in line for 15 to 30 mins before getting a seat. The food wasnt very good, wouldnt recommend going there if your cravening ramen but the price was decent.

2023-03-04 02:49:08Hidden gem in Oceanside!!! Ramen is filling and delicious! Got Ton Katsu tonight and you get sooo much food! Some are mentioning shifting prices, but I was charged what is on the menu. Comparable to other ramen places, but much better! Cute decor, friendly service. Highly recommended!
