Harumama Ramen + Sushi in Encinitas is a women-owned Asian fusion concept on Encinitas Boulevard, part of the Love Boat Group's multi-location restaurant portfolio that spans Little Italy, Carlsbad, La Jolla, and Vista. The kitchen fuses Chinese, Japanese, and Korean influences into a menu of ramen bowls, sushi rolls, and the chain's signature character steamed buns — hand-formed into panda, chicken, and seasonal shapes with rotating fillings — a playful format distinct from the traditional Neapolitan dough work at Leucadia Pizza Encinitas on the 101. Ramen preparations build on proprietary broths paired with chewy noodles in fusion-forward combinations that blend traditional Japanese stock technique with Korean gochujang and Chinese chili oil elements. Poke bowls round out the protein menu alongside sushi rolls and small plates, and Japanese and Korean specialty drinks — matcha beer and jelly beverages — supplement the craft beer tap list. The Encinitas Boulevard location draws from the same New Encinitas lunch crowd that supports plant-based counter-serve formats like Lotus Cafe & Juice Bar on South Coast Highway 101. The character bun program hand-forms each dough piece into a three-dimensional figure, fills it with rotating savory or sweet preparations, and steam-cooks it in bamboo baskets calibrated for even heat distribution across the sculpted surface.
