Tajima Ramen Convoy
Linda VistaThe tonkotsu broth is what put San Diego ramen on the map
The tonkotsu broth is what put San Diego ramen on the map. Rich, porky, and deeply satisfying. The original Convoy location still feels the most authentic of their growing empire.

Came on a late Friday night, and they were still quite busy. The parking lot is kind of small and it's usually hard to find an open spot. They serve more than ramen here but not many dishes for vegetarians, vegans or ones that doesn't eat pork. Our order didn't take long to arrive to the table. Each person ordered a different type of ramen bowl: traditional Tonkatsu, spicy sesame, chicken, and vegan. The broth were light but enjoyable. The chashu were thinly sliced, easier to eat than having it overwhelming fatty and thick cut. It's all personal preference. The only downfall was I thought the servings were quite small. Was it the best ramen? No, but it's ok. It wouldn't be a place I would stress to find parking for if a spot wasn't already open.

Great experience, everything we ordered was delicious. Very friendly service. Their happy hour menu is outstanding and reasonably priced. Some great starter items and drinks for around $3.50! With every restaurant seemingly overpriced these days, it was nice to get a “deal”. A local legend in SD for a reason!

A great place with amazing food and a nice atmosphere. The workers were friendly and our waitress gave us great recommendations! We ordered appetizers, ramen, and fried rice. It was our first time coming here and will definitely be back!

Had the curry ramen which was very good. Had rich smooth flavor and the right amount of spice. And they had a beer tower special for 20 bucks. Definitely will go back to try other options
