Score 91/100 · Order: Ultra tonkotsu with extra chashu · $16–20
Menya Ultra's broth is simmered long enough to go opaque and silky without turning gluey, which is the line most San Diego shops fail to walk. The noodles arrive genuinely firm, the chashu is torched to order, and the ajitama yolk is still jammy. It is a focused menu executed the same way every visit.
Local tip: Go at 2 PM on a weekday — the line at 7 PM regularly runs 30+ minutes.
