Local restaurateurs, Jenny and James Pyo, who own and operate Love Boat Sushi, Pokewan, Blue Ocean, Harumama and Teriyaki & Bao, are bringing Harumama Noodles & Buns to Encinitas.
Opening in the fourth quarter of 2021 at 1460 Encinitas Blvd, this will be the ninth restaurant opened by Love Boat Group, with plans to add even more outposts in Southern California within the next year (they’re hiring!).
Playfully Asian
With locations in Little Italy, Carlsbad and La Jolla, Harumama is best known for its Instagram-worthy character steamed buns featuring cartoon-y pandas, chickens, and seasonal characters and fillings. The restaurant offers playful takes on Asian fare with inspiration from Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisines, serving contemporary twists on traditional ramen, noodles, buns and more.
Curated by Chef James, the menu at the Encinitas location will feature super fresh, high-quality poke bowls, and there will be beer on tap along with exotic Japanese and Korean drinks like matcha beer and jelly sake.
See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
