Harumama Ramen by Blue Ocean Sushi

I really wanted to like this place.. but it was the most mid sushi & ramen experience i’ve had. salmon nigiri was lacking the buttery rich flavor and texture that salmon nigiri is known for. the scallop nigiri was alright, nice size, but again something was just…. lacking. the roll that I got was also lacking the fresh sushi flavor. the ramen was okay- very average and nothing memorable. noodles weren’t anything special either. for food, the character buns were the highlight and only because they were super cute. aside from the mid food, the atmosphere was really nice. beautiful interior and a gorgeous view of the ocean. as for service: our waiter took forever to get to us. I had to flag him down and he didn’t even introduce himself or welcome us, which I thought was a detail I wouldn’t really care about, but I guess when little things like that are lacking, they really do stand out. our waters were never refilled, and we probably saw and interacted with the bus boy more than our own waiter. the food was nicely priced at least! accessible food for a seemingly nicer food experience.

Good food and atmosphere with amazing service. The ramen was good but had a few odd choices for taste. The tonkotsu ramen (the black bowl, called the Flying Pig) had a small amount of jalapeño paste which added a small amount of heat, I enjoyed it! But the ramen my wife had (white bowl, the Haru) had Yuzu oil in it which made it all taste a bit sharp and lemony, which nether one of us enjoyed. The character buns were good and adorable! A minor note, the chop sticks they have selected are rectangular which were harder to use than circular ones. I found myself having a harder time eating the ramen than I would have liked. All in all I think Harumama is a strong 4/5 and I would recommend it to anyone who likes ramen, sushi, or bao buns.

Food was good. Price was accessible. Everything good except they highkey do not care about you. Bad service. Despite only the 10 minute wait time to get a table, our waiter never checked up on us. Waters were never refilled and dirty dishes were NEVER picked up. Our table was full of dirty dishes even after paying for the check.

This place was BOMB! We live in the area, but have never been in before, but that changed today! Food, atmosphere and service (shout out Dylan) were TOP NOTCH! I used to be a restaurant manager and my husband a chef all over San Francisco, so we are always observant to service, food quality, and ambience. The space was beautiful, food was mind blowing (ramen broth was epic, buns were fab, and Katsu was perfectly cooked with explosive flavors in best way), and service was patient, friendly and hospitable. My husband literally said, “this is my new favorite restaurant!” That said, props to the owner and management, you are really doing it right, and we can’t wait to come back both with each other for future date days/nights, as well as with friends and family!

First time customers & Harumama Ramen did not disappoint. From start to finish everything was delicious. Soup, appetizers, sushi, ramen, and for dessert, nutella buns were all on point. Our server was great too. He was very friendly & gave great recommendations on what to order. The restaurant itself is very nice inside as well. We will definitely be returning customers.
