Per Eater, Campfire opens Wednesday in Carlsbad. The pictures look great and the menu does as well (no burgers or short rib dishes so far). If anyone (RISD) tries it soon, please let us know.
Saw tacos el gordo is coming to the gaslamp area.

Saw this article this morning, so decided to check out Ajisen for lunch: Another Ramen Concept Dishes Up Location in Kearny Mesa - Eater San Diego
The service was in complete disarray (not unexpected) but I quite enjoyed my food. Got their house special, which is basically a tonkotsu ramen with pork three ways – chasu, ribs, and “premium”, which TBH I had a hard time figuring out exactly what it was (texturally it was like a combination of jowel and belly). The chasu was solid, but I really liked the ribs because they left the cartilage in (so, these are the part of the ribs that are cartilage instead of bone). Broth was heavy on the garlic, which I don’t mind but some people might. I didn’t get an egg but my boss did and his was cooked hard boiled. We also had scallops and they were delicious.
Will be trying again. I’m very curious about the white miso ramen, and even maybe trying their salads and what not. Hope they figure out the service though because that was a bit of a disaster.

The interior looks quite nice in the photo on Eater. Is this in the location where Coco’s was? I’ve been to the boba place next door and recall having to park across the street and walk. Any problems parking?
Yup, it’s the previous Coco’s. And we didn’t have problem finding parking but I don’t know the general state of that parking lot.
Thanks for the review…been driving by it a lot but there weren’t even Yelp reviews. We decided not to risk it over the weekend and we to Izakaya Kanpai down near Buga/Havana Grill. Ramen was fair, service was pretty bad.
We tried to go here for lunch today, but there was a wait to be seated, and we were hungry so we didn’t stay. Parking lot was packed. All a good sign I guess (and it smelled really good inside!), so will try again during the week.
