Welcome to Tajima Ramen Plaza Bonita, our quick-service location inside the Plaza Bonita Mall in National City. Here you can enjoy the same crave-worthy ramen that made Tajima a San Diego favorite—like our creamy tonkotsu, spicy sesame, and vegan miso—served fast and convenient for shoppers on the go.
This location is all about authentic flavor with convenience. Order at the counter, grab a seat in the food court, and savor comforting bowls of ramen or Japanese small plates between errands or before catching a movie. Whether you’re a longtime Tajima fan or discovering us for the first time, Plaza Bonita makes it easy to enjoy “soul in a bowl” without leaving the mall.
