Welcome

The Joint Sushi and Tapas has been a staple in the Ocean Beach community for over 12 years. The same owners wanted to bring another unique dining experience to OB. Due to their love for Japan, its culture, people, and cuisine…a izakaya and ramen shop felt like the right step.

Ramen is a very popular food in Japan with its roots, the noodle, making its way from China many years ago. In Japan and the USA there are many different styles of ramen, and owner/chef Jeff Shaefer traveled to Osaka to learn traditional and modern techniques of ramen making from Master Ramen Chef Rikisai Miyajima, owner of the oldest ramen school in Japan. These are the recipes that we are excited to showcase for our community.

Our house broths are cooked for 16-24 hours and there is absolutely no added msg  For those that don't know, an izakaya is a Japanese pub. So we also offer rice bowls, pokes, okonomi fries, tuna tataki, smash burgers, house gyozas, salads, and so much more... plus 24 taps of craft beer, various sakes and wines.

The Bowl is a fast casual restaurant, with every foh team member tasked with running food and beverages, checking on guests, bussing, ordering, and anything & everything else our customers need to assure an outstanding guest experience through exceptional service and hospitality.

Please always let our staff know if there are qny issues or concerns so we may hqve the opportunity to make corrections and still provide you with an amazing experience.
