Ramen Restaurants near West Hollywood, CA

“We just moved into the neighborhood from NYC so while we do know about Nobu just down the street, for everyday sushi we wanted to try something low key and simple. First, this is no frills place with no sush bar which was dissapointing. However, the service was quick, the sushi was fresh and the specials were great. Sake around $20/bottle - nice clean and dry. Spicy tuna hand roll $6.50 was packed with tuna and had a nice crunch. Mixed role with salmon, tuna, mackerel at $15 was great and nicely presented, tuna, yellowtail and mackerel sushi were nicely proportioned and about $8 each (2 pieces). Next time gonna order the Ramen which looks great.“

“The place itself is tiny, but the service is impressive! The owner himself greeted us and answered questions about the menu, then gave us samples. Ended up getting the Hawaiian Poke combo with 1/2 cucumber and seaweed salad, and a ginger ale. My favorite thing off the menu is hands down the seaweed salad. The poke was good, I think that because it’s intended to be a new take on poke itself, I was a little disappointed. I just happen to love the typical assembly line style of poke where you get to pick everything you want, and that wasn’t an option here, so I felt like there was something missing. It’s really just about personal preferences, but if you really like poke & want to try something different, then I would recommend it!Side note: I didn’t try the ramen, but the entire restaurant smelled strongly of broth and butter noodles, (in a good way) so I would be curious to try their ramen next.“

“My home city doesn't have an ippudo so everytime I go to a city with one I have to drop by. Thank you Yasu for preparing the ramen which tasted amazing as well as took time to explain his passion for ramen to me. Really cool learning about the history of ippudo and other ramen places as well. Take care and wish you the best ??“

“Pictured are the Tokyo Rich Tsukemen and the Smoked Dashi Ramen.The Tokyo Rich Tsukemen carried my experience here at Tonchin LA. I came here solely for the noodles made in collaboration with Keizo Shimamoto from Shimamoto Noodle Inc. They are really the star of the bowl. The tonkotsu gyokai broth was alright, but overall, this was one of the better tsukemen you can find in Socal imo.The Smoked Dashi Ramen, on the other hand, was quite weird. It starts off fine but the longer you take to eat it, the fishier the broth will get so get ready to slurp fast ?“

“Went to Ramen Nagi the other day and honestly not my favorite. Service was great and the food came out super fast but personally the flavors weren't there for me. I had a spicy level 2 and it was a hint of spice, I probably would've been fine w a 4 since I'm not that great w spicy stuff. The pork belly meat was just ok in my perspective. I had ordered the Black king and did both chashu and pork belly, I think there was a tiny bit of a sweet flavor to it vs savory but idk maybe that was just me, or maybe the black garlic. The restaurant is cute and small on the inside and everyone was super nice and helpful but not somewhere that I personally would return to given so many amazing ramen spots in LA but I mean if I hadn't tried it before I would still try it for the first time again ‍ we also had the gyoza which was yummy.“

“I come to LA from the east coast once or twice per year and I make my travel schedule around eating at Moto once per visit. The tan tan men ramen is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. The broth is pure perfection... The side dishes are solid as well and the sushi is simple, but out of this world fresh and tasty. Sam is a great host. See you on my next trip Moto!!!“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“YOOO, this place is BOMB!! I got the Curry Ramen with Egg and I couldn’t believe how good it was. GREAT curry broth - well-spiced but not spicy. Nice noodles and meat too. Wish it had a bit more meat though. I’m from Hawai’i and grew up on Japanese Curry and Ramen. It really tasted like home. They were playing some good reggae music when we were there, so it sounded like home too.Went here because the other ramen place we wanted to go to down the street was an hour wait. So glad we did! We (party of 3) were seated right away on a Saturday night.We sat outside in the covered area. It was a cold night out but their heaters were so good that I took off my jacket and was wearing a short sleeve shirt. Nice waiters - did a great job at checking on us in case we needed anything. DEFINITELY coming back the next time I’m in the area. Will be bringing more friends along too.Parking: Parking sucks at night on the weekend, but that’s common in this area. I got free street parking as I parked after the time you have to pay. I wanna say past 8?“

“Tsujita La Artisan Noodle Annex is the best Dipping Ramen ( Tsukemen ) in LA , closest noodles I’ve felt in Japan. Here the noodles are thick and springy, they kept separate from garlicky and flavorful broth to maintain the chewable. It’s perfect for me!“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Ramen so good I forgot to take pictures! We found this little gem while staying at an AirBNB in Studio City. The menu was varied and we found something for everyone in our party, including the picky little guy. This was honestly some of the best ramen we've had anywhere (we were on vacation) and I have recommended it to others traveling to area. The service was super friendly as well.“

“This place is great! I really enjoyed their spicy seafood ramen and their crispy squid. The soup is very flavorful and has a very strong lemongrass taste, which I love. The squid is super crispy and savory. The service was friendly and so fast. The server offered suggestions and checked on us regularly. It's a small spot, but does feel crowded. They also have a large parking lot, shared with the supermarket next door.“

“This is hard for me. On one hand, I don’t want to share this secret for fear it may make it harder for me to enjoy in the future. But on the other, this should be the most celebrated ramen in Los Angeles. It is hands down my favorite ramen, karaage and curry. Chef Niki is an absolute master and the service is unmatched.“

“I absolutely adore their mazemen and usually get the Tokyo option. I don’t even mind the wait if I happen to come at a busy time. The food is well worth it! The servers are so nice and it’s a chill place to sit and eat. Easy parking on Olympic.“

“I want to start out saying I never take the time to write reviews, but I want this place to thrive and stay around forever. Phenomenal fusion food, awesome and unexpected presentation (the ramen is served under a smoky bubble!!), friendly and helpful staff. Top stuff. Can't recommend enough. Will be going back.Vegetarian options: vegetarian ramen broths!! In our world of seemingly only meat-flavored ramens, Redwhite Boneless Ramen really stands out with it's delicious vegetarian-only dishes packed with delicious fusion flavors.“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Excellent Ramen, Kyushu Style Noodles (thin and not overcooked) The Soup was unexpectedly delicious, inspired to the Tonkotsu Pork Broth. I lived in Japan two years and this the first time I find something so authentic, comparable to the Original Japanese Ramen. Overal Super Recommended!!!“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Dope lil spot tucked away in Sherman Oaks. Quality sushi, great service. Fun tunes too. Going to be a go to spot. Tonight had the Oh My Goodness Roll and the I Love Salmon Roll. Who's set the playlist here? They deserve some recognition.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“We came here on a whim, after finding The Daily Outpost mysteriously closed on a Friday evening. Umigame is so good! Everything, from the poke bowl, salmon teriyaki, brussels sprouts, and edamame, were perfect! High quality food beautifully prepared. Very good service also. We will definitely be back.“

“Love the Chicken and pork curry. crispy outside and juicy inside. Dip it into the curry sauce, take a bite with the rice, just so comforting! I like the side dish salad to keep me have healthy balance too. Big portion for sharing.“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“Great service awesome food A+“

“Super great experience!! Love it here:)“

“4/5 stars (Vegetarian here for a plant-based/vegan review):We visited Suehiro Mini in Chinatown after the Chinatown Neighborhood Night Market hosted by CCEDLA in October, but I'm posting this review after learning that Suehiro's Little Tokyo location is facing eviction. Suehiro is a small family run restaurant chain with two generations of history, and the location in Chinatown has a smaller menu and storefront than its other locations.We were seated around 10:30 pm and the store wasn't too busy but it took us around 20 minutes to get our orders in and another 20 for the food to come out. Service is on the slower side so if you're on a time crunch definitely factor that in! There are four vegan options: vegan tomato ramen, vegan mapo don, vegan vegetable udon, and vegan yakisoba. I ordered the vegan tomato ramen. The broth was super thick and flavorful, and topped with fried and battered zucchini, tomato, and eggplants. While the portion sizes are quite large, the broth had a bit of a one note flavor and wasn't able to continue eating after I got through half. They have to-go containers so I was able to bring home the rest and it served as another meal. My friends ordered a Haiyashi Rice and Curry Rice and both really enjoyed their meal too. Their portions seemed even bigger, so if you have a small appetite I recommend sharing! Though service wasn't the quickest, we still enjoyed our meal, and I would love to return to try the other vegan options. If you're in the Chinatown area, try this ramen spot (as well as other small legacy businesses who are being pushed out by wealthier corporations that are actively working on gentrifying Chinatown).“

“This is my second time going here. The ramen is very very yummy. On top of the delicious food, they have incredible service. Let me tell you about ✨️ROXANNE✨️! She saved my dog when it ran into oncoming traffic! She physically stopped the semi truck with her own two hands, even pushing it farther back so my dog was 100% unscathed. Then the solar eclipse happened and she was the last one illuminated before the sky went dark. One arm holding my little pug, the other halting the truck. She is truly incredible! ?“

“Best Ramen in Silver Lake. The broth is uncious and satisfying. If you have no allergies, get the egg (I add dried seaweed as well). Large servings even at the smaller portion price point. Inside dining is tight, but outside heating does the trick.“

“Tsujita LA was a wonderful little jump into Japan for lunch. There are garlic cloves on their side for a reason!! EVERY THING was deliciously garlicky! The flavors were unbelievable !!! The soup was wonderful. The pork was perfectly cooked and so tender the noodles were just yummy. it was such a little getaway treat!!! The restaurant is small and decorated in a minimalist fashion. There's a lovely bar to sit at in a few tables. The waiter was very sweet and very new. All and all, it was a delicious experience“

“This place has the best pho in the area handsThe customer service is dopeThe owner is always very welcoming and his recommendations always hit the spotThere’s endless veggies for your phoI love this place always but best for rainy daysI definitely recommend this spotParking: There’s street parking and public parking lots in the behind areas of pacific , how everI’ve always found street parking right up front of the spot or within a couple of feetKid-friendliness: Yes it’s kid friendlyThe owner is very friendly and accommodating“

“Michelin rated 2021, 2022, & 2023.....this is a high end ramen shop located on La Cienega Blvd in Beverly Hills.All the noodles here are made fresh in house in the front of the shop on display.The signature #1 truffle soba reminds me of the famous truffle Michelin rated ramen in Tokyo. This is what I've had the several other times I've visited. Today I came in specifically to try their new tsukemen (dipping ramen) Ise.It's described as spicy yet sweet dipping ramen with noodles served on the side. The noodles are wide and flat....very fresh too! They also provide a side of truffle oil and green onions so you can customize your bowl. The soup was much thicker and more intense than a normal ramen broth. It coats the flat noodles very well. They also give you a pretty good portion of the pork charshu.I really like this place but it is a very expensive bowl of ramen for $38. If the price was more reasonable, I would give it a 5 star. Even with the price at $38, I still come back. Food is delicious!Parking: There is metered street parking on both sides of the street or a valet $12 right next door. They share the valet lot with another restaurant.“

“This was an excellent meal. Merci the hostess who served me and took my order was very nice and attentive.The food itself, excellent. The salad that I got was sooo good. The dressing is some kind of sesame dressing and it was fabulous. Usually restaurants treat their salads as an afterthought and give you something basic with ranch, but not Kai ramen. The salad, wow.The ramen was also excellent. The broth was great and full of flavor and was nice and warm (temperature and heat wise, I got medium). The dish had a lot of different ingredients which kept it exciting throughout.Excellent experience, will be back again!(Parking lot fills up quick and is small, plan accordingly)“

“Pictured are the Tokyo Style with Soup and the Downtown Style with Soup (more red with chilli oil on top).The base of both these bowls is pretty much the same. I think the only difference is the ratio of certain ingredients. I prefer the Downtown version because it's more balanced overall. I think there was way too much nuts flavor in the Tokyo version. I didn't understand why they added so much ungrinded sesame seeds. I think fine-grinding the sesame seeds would've added similar flavor while making it much smoother to slurp. Or perhaps the Tokyo version with no soup would've been a better choice ?“

“Consistently the best ramen in La hands down vegan or otherwise. Rich broth, Quick Service great atmosphere. Just down the road is donut friend 5 minute walk away which is a huge Plus for dessert after a killer bowl of ramen nudes with the best King oyster mushroom“

“Simply the best birria and pollo tacos around. I recommend the plate with birria or the burrito with chicken, my favorite choices. Must have the churros with dulce de leche sauce, so good.“

“It was very nice. Loved the hellos and thank you for coming. I can’t wait to come back next time I visit the area.“

“after a photo shoot in UCLA, a friend recommended us to get our grub at Ramenya in Sawtelle. Had to park on a near street, and had to do a little walk to the shop. wait time is bearable. got a table for four and we were greeted by a welcoming host. we were recommended to get tantan ramen. however, we got more than that-we got daikon salad, shrimp fried rice, and 2 ramens. my favorite was the fried rice-i could eat those everyday. tantan ramen is delicious too. all in all, it was a great visit and a great meal. there will be a next time once we ever get lost in los angeles area.“

“My go to favorite Ramen spot. My husband and I highly recommend the Mentaiko tonkotsu ramen & karaage chicken. So delicious. We’ve tried other ramen spots but we’ve always come back to this one.“

“One of the best tasting ramens everI have only ordered take out from this place and there food comes well packed the taste is amazingI recommend the seafood ramen with mushroomsIt’s the best tasting mushrooms everGreat place definitely have to dine in some time soon“

“Service was great with attentive server and bringing out dishes. The lunch omakase was by far the better one compared to the dinner set. Fun interactive experience for the lunch omakase with different dipping salts, and making your own sushi with rice, seaweed, and assorted season sashimi pieces. Dinner set was nicer in terms of presentation, but not as satisfying with the amount of food provided and cuts of fish offered. Great place to try though for lunch if you're a fan of aesthetic and sushi!“

“We had zero expectations when we walked in - just needed a bite before heading to the Fonda. It was AMAZING!! We don't live nearby, but we've been telling everyone how much we loved it. Extremely kind staff, wonderful food, real wasabi available. It's not fancy and the prices are reasonable and we really appreciated that vibe. So good!! We'll be back any time we're in the area and are already looking forward to it.“

“Son muy deliciosas mi hijo me invito y me encanto!!!!“

“It is chilly in LA tonight so how about some miso soup? Waku waku was just what we were looking for. We ducked in to warm up with a couple of bowls of miso and a salad. Waku waku also serves ramen, sushi and pokes. It all looks good we are staying up the block at the Dream only a block and a half away. We plan to come back soon. Recommend.“

“A little bit okay. Broth wasn't as tasty as other places, but it was okay, not too bad....“

“I feel compelled to leave a review since this is the best ramen I’ve ever had.Not only that, but their service is OUTSTANDING.I was received with a smile, got seated right away, and I got my food 2 minutes after I ordered. I was impressed.And don’t let the speed to which I was served follow you…THE RAMEN WAS AMAZING.You can really tell how slowly they cook the broth and the noodles.I’m truly amazed!“

“This place is a gem. You can tell the owner cares about the food, if you come here and it's a long wait, that's the reason. Fortunately for me my food was prepared quickly and it was SOOOOOO GOOD! had the tofu ramen, my partner didn't love the broth, but my kid and I did. Regarless, the tofu was crispy and all the flavors worked. We also had the black serpent roll. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD Fantastic flavor. I ordered the bulgogi bowl. And wow wow wow. So freaking good. There were aromatic seeds on there that I've never tasted and in general I'm so glad we ate there today. Please support, you'll love it.“

“I've waited a lonnnnng time to try Ramen. I've always see appetizing and non appetizing ramen spots and have always been nervous about trying the "perfect" one on the first go. Thank god my friend told me to stop here. My friends and I were a bit tipsy but the waiter made us feel very comfortable, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were insane.“

“A hidden gem in Montrose. Very good food, attentive service, reasonable price.“

“Took the A line from work. Subway drops you off on the other side of Honda Plaza. Great ramen really enjoyed the amount of noodles and two kinds of pork; sliced and belly. The broth was excellent and comforting. I added chili sauce and an order of gyoza and a Sapporo. $17 for a bowl of Tokushima Ramen. Very delicious.“
