at Tajima there is ramen for everyone — San Diego

March 28, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

San Diego has some seriously decent Asian restaurants, clearly evident as you drive down Convoy Street, on both sides of Balboa. From Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and a few Vietnamese thrown in, you’re never short of choices whenever that craving hits. I usually go to Rakiraki for ramen, but on this occasion, I’m at Tajima instead. It […]

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
