THE RAMEN. It's very authentic, flavorful, and truly unforgettable. The apps are great too. As for the rest of the menu, I avoid it. It's bland. Sushi is better at Soi Bistro or Domo. But seriously, if you want Ramen, this is the spot.

This is the least visited beach and usually has parking. Plus, if you walk to the right, the condos end and it becomes military land. It's untouched land and is really beautiful. About a mile down there are some old missile remnants that the locals call "stonehenge."
