Underbelly North Park at 3000 Upas St scores 99 out of 100 on San Diego County’s health inspection and operates as the second location of Consortium Holdings’ Tokyo-inspired ramen-ya concept, which launched in Little Italy in 2011. The craft beer list pairs naturally with Modern Times Flavordome next door, and the two venues form a built-in beer-and-ramen block on Upas St. Tonkotsu broth steeped for hours in pork bone marrow serves as the base for signature bowls loaded with chashu pork belly, soft-boiled egg, and house noodles, with rotating seasonal specials and steamed bao buns alongside. An espresso from Delah Coffee around the corner on 30th St rounds out a post-ramen walk. The kitchen’s most intensive build is the lobster red curry ramen — a limited-availability bowl requiring a separate crustacean-stock base layered over the standing tonkotsu.
