Ichitaru Ramen Carlsbad serves tonkotsu and miso-based bowls from 7040 Avenida Encinas, near Poinsettia Park in the 92011 corridor. The Koi Ramen line features a special pork tare blended into shoyu-miso and spicy-miso bases, a slow-extraction broth technique that shares the crafted-from-scratch ethos behind the house-churned gelato at GelatoLove Carlsbad Village. Established in 2019, the kitchen built its identity around a 20-tier spicy challenge ascending from mild miso to a habanero-laced Level 20 that rewards completion with a permanent free-topping pass. The menu extends beyond ramen into bento boxes, chicken karaage, handmade gyoza, and okonomiyaki, broadening the Japanese comfort-food range on a stretch of Avenida Encinas that also hosts Hooked on Poke & Sushi in Bressi Ranch. The signature Garlic Bomb Ramen builds a 12-hour pork-bone broth base layered with roasted garlic oil, black garlic paste, and fried garlic chips applied across the bowl before service.
