Silverlake Ramen in California

"Very good Ramen, so much to my taste. Also karage chicken is excellent! Service is very kind and courteous and its very quick. I also tried some sushi and it was delicious. For desert they have churros, warm and very tasty. Great Ramen place."

"Good ramen! The Shoyu on Fire was really good. I got it "mild" which includes half a jalapeno, so still pretty spicy. The service was fine - had to ask for water refill and for the check. Great location."

"The Baseline: For a ramen restaurant the noodles must be fresh, cooked with consistency in firmness, broth must be tasty with good body, accompaniment additions must match with the style, and the plating must work for the ramen presentation/function. September 18, 2025: Food: The ramen here is really the thing to come for. Tonight I opted on the Chicken Karaage Curry Rice Bowl which was good with a spice level that was enjoyable, but there was no pickled ginger condiment to be added. I had to order a side of pickled onion ($1.75) so I had something to cut the fat of the curry base. All curry dishes need a pickled condiment option. The Classic Tonkotsu Ramen was great as always with good noodle pull and tasty broth and ordered as a combo with a Chicken Karaage appetizer that has a nice mayo based dipping sauce. Very enjoyable. The Rice Pork Bowl was also very good and was a good option for a smaller appetite with a great price ($8.75 for a small). I also had the Spicy Garlic Edamame which was addictive. Love the Edamame! Service: Efficient service in taking my order and serving the food. Everything was accurate. Didn’t need to ask for water but there was no refill of water without asking which should be a must in a place that has spicy items on the menu. It felt short staffed on the night I went so there is a level of patron understanding given here. Ambiance: Very hip, modern design for a ramen joint. The tables and seating area was clean. The bathroom was clean for the level of traffic ration this location produces. Previous Review (February 2025): Part of a chain, the Manhattan Beach Silverlake Ramen serves up a solid meal of Ramen (also saves me from driving to Sawtelle Blvd to eat). The Ramen is well prepared, properly spiced/flavored, and served at a proper temperature. This is the go to dish when you come here. I get the Blaze with pork because I want the extra spice level and it warms me up in the winter. The rice bowl and the appetizers are all tasty and well prepared with good sized portions. Service is good and they will attend to your needs but the wait staff is in between a lot of tables so it can get slightly spotty during service rushes. They will drop water carafes on the table so you do not need to ask for refills. There is a Silverlake Rewards app that is great to use to get free items if you consistently dine here, so I suggest downloading it. The points update quickly after you pay for a meal. The environment is inside but the end of the restaurant is open to the outside of the Manhattan Village outside mall area. There are plenty of heat lamps if you are near the outside so you will stay warm. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced. Definitely will return to dine here."

"Ambiance: I liked this place, very cool decor, open concept. Felt both enclosed and airy. Wasn't super busy when we arrived, a decent amount of seating as well. Service: We were seated right away. Staff was kind and patient, did not have to wait long to order or receive our meals. We didn't realize they were closing toward the end of our meals, but they never forced us to leave. It was us and 2 other tables still lingering. (We left as soon as we realized the time) Food: I could've used some more spice in the spicy ramen, but overall, the meal was pretty good. Nice and hot, tasted freshly made, and the appetizers were really good. Portions were spot on, and the sauces were complimentary to the overall flavor. Loved the sake and enjoyed the churro dessert. It's great for sharing."

"It was good, it was cold day and we had this nice hot soup. The wait was not long, the waitress was very nice and the food was served fast as well. The environment was good too, not crowded,"

"Ramen was very tasty with lots of flavor. Noodles were perfectly cooked. Grilled broccoli was amazing but I would pass on the dumplings. Nothing special there. Would go back for more soup"

"We were the first guests on a Sunday and it was a delightful experience. We had our pick of tables and it was a nice day so we decided to sit in the sun. By the time we decided on what we wanted to try, we had to move tables more into the shade as the sun was really beating down on us. Luckily there were still only a few guests so they were able to accommodate. We tried the classic combo with edamame, the cajun ramen and the garlic truffle. The broths were very savory and creamy. Fun vibe. The children's review of this place is: "Very creamy and delicious!" "This pork is bigger than my tongue" "This bowl is bigger than my head, it's the biggest ramen in the world". True to their motto, it was slurp worthy. The servings were generous so we had to bring the leftovers to go. The edamame was also truffle flavoured and fresher than in other places we've had it recently. I do recommend that the restaurant consider having a supply of plastic bibs for kids because the slurping also meant soup dripping down the chin from the ends of the noodles."

"I don’t do reviews often but I had to here. My girl, my brother, and I decided to try this place and let me say, WOW. It’s my first time trying ramen and I’m happy it was at silver lake. The bowls are large, fairly priced, and full of flavor. My girlfriend ordered the vegetarian ramen, however it had something she didn’t like. The manager of the restaurant happily came over to help us resolve the situation. One of the friendliest and most genuine customer services I’ve experienced. Shoutout to Spencer! You’ll do yourself a favor trying this place!"
