Books down, but also chopsticks down. It’s sad but the upshot is that it’s Spring Break, so we’ll be closing up the UCSD shop starting 3/27 and back open for regular business hours on 4/3. Don’t worry, we won’t tell your parents you’re going to Cabo. Your secret’s safe with us.

What people say

According to a review published in the San Diego Union-Tribune in July 2021, Underbelly Ramen is a "must-visit" for those who love ramen. The reviewer praised the restaurant's "rich and savory broth", as well as the "perfectly cooked noodles". Another review from Eater San Diego, published in May 2021, praised Underbelly Ramen's inventive and flavorful dishes, including the "Korean BBQ Pork Belly Ramen".

However, not all reviews were glowing. A review from Yelp in March 2021 noted that while the ramen was good, it was also quite expensive, with prices averaging around $15 per bowl. Other customers on Yelp have commented positively on the atmosphere of the restaurant, citing its cozy and intimate feel.

On TripAdvisor, a reviewer wrote in August 2021 that Underbelly Ramen had some of the best ramen they had ever tasted, saying that it was "absolutely delicious". However, another TripAdvisor review from June 2021 said that while the ramen was good, it didn't quite live up to their expectations based on other reviews they had read.

Overall, it seems that opinions of Underbelly Ramen are generally positive but mixed. Some customers rave about the flavors and quality of their dishes while others find it somewhat overpriced or not quite as impressive as expected. Nonetheless, many agree that it's definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for great ramen in San Diego.
