Reviews for Harumama Noodles + Buns + Beer (Encinitas) in Encinitas, CA

Over priced, over hyped, small portion food that doesn't even taste good. The whole experience was kind of lame. Ordered... takeout from this place one night based on their Yelp reviews and boy was I disappointed. Ordered the panda and cow characterbuns $9 for 2, they are teeny tiny, and the flavor was very plain and tasteless. The buns was premade and did not taste fresh atall. Definitely gimmicky. Also got the bulgogi fries and that was super watery and no flavors at all. For $18, there was just afew pieces of flavorless meat and a whole bunch of fries. The vegetables were soggy. I would eat it if I was starving and had nooptions but definitely not worth the money. The karage chicken was no better, very small portion size, the chicken was tough,not tender at all and once again, no flavor. The ramen was super small as well and the noodles were not that fresh and the brothwas watery. Really overpriced and gimmicky food. Definitely will not be coming back. Read more

Probably won't get the Chickie Ramen again unless I can add some seasoning.. My wife got the Spicy Chicken and that seemed a... little better. The egg custard bao bun was good! Geran (the only server for a while) seemed nice but, super busy. Probably dueto 7 of the 8 tables being occupied in the back of the restaurant. Hope to go back and try different food to hopefully redeemthe ramen. Read more

I was very curious to try the super cute buns and stopped by to get a variety for takeout. I ordered 3 types of character buns,... 2 with chicken and 1 with egg cream. They were all super cute and tasky but a little bit dry. We also ordered 2 differentoptions that looked like tacos with buns. They were very good, not dry like the character buns. Read more

Love this noodle house. Second time here and once again, it did not disappoint. The food is great and so is the service. Last... night I had the vegetable Ramen with chicken, shrimp bao bao buns and calamari. All were excellent and service was quick for aSaturday night. Previous visit I had the chicken katsu skillet and panda buns and my husband had the salmon skillet. All werevery tasty. Portions are very generous. Read more

It smelled like a gas leak, up front, next to the kitchen this day. The duck ramen had good broth and noodles. I got green kale... noodles w an $1 up-charge. There was no poached egg. The small amount of duck meat was not tender. The panda, spicy chicken bun,filling was not good. Dabbing the bun in the broth was the best way to go. Read more
