Silverlake Ramen

Picky Asian LOVES the taste here! I tried lots of Ramen places, but hands down for this place! RECOMMENDED! - Parking: Meter parking and valet parking with validation for $5 - Price: average $15-18/bowl. We got spicy and non-spicy tonkatsu ramen, and fried chicken here is a must (so yummy, fresh, and tasty; not too dry, not too soft, just right). Personally, the bowl was big, so I took it to go, and still good to eat at home! Def will be back! We came around noon, so it wasn't busy, no waiting. RSVP is needed and also waiting list with the kiosk in the front during peak time. Vax card and ID will be checked!

2021.12-26/SUN_1200: Still the same after all these years and after many locations have opened! Their food quality, ambiance and staff is still excellent. We were greeted with a smile, seated quickly and our server was great. She was really nice. The ambiance is excellent because the staff is so kind, attentive and they always play great music! We had the Pork Buns, Chicken Karage and Tsukemen Ramen and Nigori. Delicous. Nothing has changed. We started visiting this place since 2013. Throughout the years, we would visit and the food quality, prices, and customer service is consistent. There has never been a time when neither was lacking. Their Pork Buns are still soft and succulent. The Chicken Karage is still lightly crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth delicious like the Pork Buns. Our favorite is always the Cold Dipping Noodles, Tsukemen Ramen. The broth is rich in flavor and creamy in texture. I was so full and still wanted to continue eating - it's worth the food coma! Always a favorite and we'll be back again. Silverlake Ramen is hands down, still the best ramen in LA for us! 2021.03-14/1130.SUN: We haven't been here in years and this was our first ramen spot I was taken to when I moved to LA. HOLY MOLY. IT'S STILL FIRE. It was the consistency that we fell in love with - from customer service, the food and affordability, you can't beat it. Our food server, Isaac, who looked like Kakashi Hatake, was awesome as usual. He was super nice and attentive. He took good care of us. The food is incredible. The best ramen in Los Angeles. Their Tsukeman Ramen broth is out of this world. No doubt. Hands down. Deliciousness. Their Chicken Karage was light and crispy and not dry and overcooked. It's been a little while since I've been here and it seems the breading is much lighter. The pork belly bun was still delicious, too. It melted in my mouth. The bun is perfect but the pork belly...no words. It's always cooked to perfection. Lightly crispy on the outside, soft and gelatinous on the inside. When it came out with our Tsukamen Ramen, it was over. Heaven in your mouth, we guarantee it. We've been other places and their broth is nothing like this. It's good to know that there has been no decline in their quality and customer service after all these years. We always love the drive out this way to support excellent local business owners. Heck, we're SO happy they didn't shut down permanently due to COVID. This will always stay our #1! ❤️ Two years earlier: We haven't been here in a few years and it's still amazing! We always try and get there at 11 before it really fills up and be plus we have time to find parking! You will wait in line! My favorite is the Tsukemen ramen! The broth is rich and the flavor is to die for! The only reason why I treat myself every once in a while! My drive is ALWAYS worth the wait! I'm kinda glad I do live far away otherwise they would see me practically everyday!

OMG their spicy creamy broth and their garlic truffle broth were just INCREDIBLE. You have to eat it to believe it! They have a Yelp waitlist that really helps plan your visit (there’s usually a waiting time of 2 hours) The Karaage was also really good. The portions are huge so if you really thinking about maybe you can share one and add extra meat - the pork slices were just melt in your mouth awesome - else you can just get some takeout boxes 😂 This was the perfect ending to our long PCH trip and we can’t wait to get back to Seattle and visit again.

Once you try this ramen the broth will have you coming back for more! I’ve been coming for 5+ years and the staff stays being amazing even during the pandemic! Same great flavors, and ambiance.
