Round Eye Ramen

Top choice in San Juan


If you’re craving authentic ramen, this long, skinny resto is the place. It serves steaming bowls of flavorful broth and homemade noodles topped with pork belly (veggie options too), sublime gyoza and lunchtime bento boxes. Pair it with a craft cocktail and round off with a sinful Chocolatissimo. No reservations but it’s worth the wait. Just off Calle Loíza.
