“The staff are amazing at this restaurant and I hope this compliment get passed all the way up the ladder. Everyone was polite, looked professional, and acted in a way that seemed genuinely friendly and personable.
Not only that but the place is spotless. They keep this place very clean.
The sushi itself is some of the best I've had and I’ve had a lot of sushi. I'll definitely be returning with friends this is a top notch dining experience in every sense and they deserve every 5-star review they’ve got and many more to come.“

“My friends and I visited Copan for a late lunch on a Wednesday, and we had a wonderful experience. The service and atmosphere make this a spot I would happily return to!
The Highlights (The Great)
Exceptional Service: The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had two people checking on us—a dedicated server and another filling water—and they were all fantastic. We were seated right away with no wait.
Wonderful Ambiance: The restaurant has a beautiful, well-thought-out, Japan-focused decor that creates a great environment for a meal.
Menu & Clarity: I loved the menu! It was clearly organized with pictures for every item, which made ordering very easy and eliminated any guesswork. They offer a great range of options, including large sushi selection and both spicy and non-spicy ramen options.
The Food We Loved: We tried three different ramens (one spicy, one non-spicy, and the Vegetable Ramen, which was excellent). The Jalapeño Bomb side was also a great flavor addition. Everything was filling, delicious, and satisfying.
Areas for Improvement (The Quibbles)
Seating Arrangement: My biggest critique is that the tables are positioned a bit too close together. We could clearly hear neighboring conversations, and unfortunately, a couple near us even seemed bothered by our chat.
Dynamite Roll/Side: We were not fans of the Dynamite dish (shrimp, cheese, rice, and onions). It was a strange combination and we ended up not finishing it.
Limited Drinks/Desserts: They did not offer non-alcoholic beer, and the dessert selection was very limited (only cheesecake available). (This wasn't a big deal for me, but something to note for others.)
Final Thoughts
We had a great time, and the quality of the ramen and the wonderful staff made the $80–90 meal well worth it for three people. We plan to return very soon to try their extensive sushi selection!
Highly recommend for the great service and atmosphere!“

“The quick serve restaurant is clean and the staff were friendly. This is a self serve restaurant. You have to place your order on a tablet, there is no real description listed. The food came out quickly. I ordered shrimp dumplings and they were basic. They were served plain. I probably would not return based on this experience.“

“My family and I stopped here after a movie and really enjoyed it. It was late on a Monday, so it was empty and got seated immediately. The atmosphere is open, with high ceilings and an outside patio. There isn't loads of seating, but a decent amount. I could imagine there being a wait if it's a busy day.
Service was friendly and checked on us a regular amount. We didn't even feel pushed out, even though we stayed close to closing.
I've never been to another SilverLake Ramen, but I really enjoyed it. I liked how the chicken was in grilled strips, that was probably my favorite part. I got the Classic one, but next time I'd try something spicier. My mom got the veggie one and really enjoyed the variety, and my dad got the chicken broth one which he found tasty but unique, because it's not common for Ramen to be made with a clear chicken broth.
Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would go again to try more items!“

“I had such a great experience here! Danny, the manager, welcomed me right away and even set me up with a perfect corner table—which made the whole meal feel extra relaxed. Alissa, our server, was amazing—super friendly, professional, and on top of everything without ever rushing us. The ramen itself was incredible, full of flavor and beautifully balanced. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the team, this spot definitely deserves 5 stars. I’ll be back for sure!“

“The atmosphere and service are excellent! Unfortunately the food was just okay. Lacking flavor, I got the spicy quartz and my girlfriend got the standard quartz.
The chicken in the ramen itself was pretty tasteful. Had a hint of sweetness.
The chicken karage was excellent.
Overall it was okay. We'll continue to try the other ramen places on the same street.
Total for 2 ramen and 1 karage was $44. Not too bad.“

“Easily the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had. It has a really rich, savory broth, which is a nice change of pace since vegan broth is usually a watered down afterthought at most places. It comes fully loaded with mushrooms and hashbrowns (??!?) but you can add additional veggies or an egg if youre feeling it. Very simple menu but they execution is 1000/10!“

“My very first time at Jinya Ramen Bar in Studio City and everything was beyond fantastic, from the service from our waitresses Juliana and Sophie, and the food. I can’t say anything bad about this place and my experience.
I’m definitely coming back“

“I’ve tried lots of ramen before and by far this is one of the best broths I’ve tasted. It was so creamy and full of flavor. I got the red miso ramen and it was great. The other ramens were also full of flavor and doesn’t have a water downed flavor. The staff was so freindly and nice. It gives a very personal and homey feel. Everything was nice and clean including the bathroom! They also give these free puff deserts that are filled with strawberry creme and it was a phenomenal ending. One of the staff even gave us free pocky’s as a small new year festivities.
This is definitely a lowkey, hidden spot that’s worth a try. Would recommend the ramen any day. I will be going back!“

“The Studio City location will always be the best option for ramen. Parking has never been an issue and that is a rarity! Such a gem after concerts, a trip to Universal or any night out. Incredibly convenient location and always the friendliest staff!“

“We had a wonderful experience here!! Service was 10/10 and they helped make my friend’s birthday memorable. The ramen is delicious - not too salty or oily or heavy, and the broth is super tasty. This establishment has a rich history; ask the servers!
Thank you to Mija, our server, for an amazing experience!“

“Ambiance: a bright, clean, nicely adorned establishment, with a striking painting as a feature wall...the wait and serving staff definitely contributed to the overall ambiance... Service: as with the many other reviewers, our experience was very similar with respect to the service, as our server was knowledgeable, friendly, competent, helpful, and attentive...did I say friendly...definitely one of the elements we will take away from the evening... Food: on the recommendation of our server, who was very helpful, knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, we ordered the Takoyaki and our server's favourite Spicy Garlic Pork Shoyu Ramen x 2. The latter was described as a "spicy soy sauce tonkatsu broth with garlic is served with two slices of chashu pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, egg, fried onions, seaweed, green onions, and buttered corn". I absolutely love ramen, and, to me, what defines any bowl is the soup base, described by a very learned chef as "an intensely porky, opaque pale broth with a sticky-lipped intensity, with the rich, buttery texture of light cream; the best sports tiny nubbins of fat swimming around on their surface, a slick of mayu (black garlic oil) or chile-sesame paste, a handful of thin-sliced green onions, a soft-yolked soy-sauce tinged egg, and a few slices of meltingly tender chashu pork belly". The broth definitely reflected the events described, and the many hours spent in preparation, with a rich texture and flavour, complemented, but not over-powered by either the chili nor the garlic. It was a wonderful recommendation that we would order again! All in all, the evening that left us very satisfied in terms of having our hunger sated, and taste buds quite happy... the true test is whether we return, and, should we find ourselves back in the city, we would most definitely make a return trip to try other dishes!!“

“The ramens were amazing! Awesome flavors that were not like all the other ramen places I’ve tried. I especially loved the Lemon Butter ramen because I could add truffle oil to it. That made it rich, yet easy on the palate. The staff is so sweet and welcomes you with a smile. I will be back!(:“

“Let's start with the service extremely helpful and very fast. You can choose to use the kiosk to or order at the register. Personally I usually walk away with the "build your own" adding an extra egg and green onions. Though no matter what you go for I'm sure you will love it.“

“I've been to quite a bit of ramen spots around southern California and this one hits the spot like few others do. The Tonkatsu ramen has such a rich and flavorful broth like no other! Absolutely a must get, plus the Shoyo ramen is so comfortable and delicious. If you want good ramen this place is a must visit.“

“I had a great experience at this ramen spot! The food was both delicious and very affordable, which was a pleasant surprise. They also offer alcoholic drinks — I tried the sake margarita and it was so tasty. The space is a bit on the smaller side, but it still felt cozy. My server, Amelia, was incredibly nice and made the visit even better. Overall, a great place for a flavorful meal and a good drink!“

“I stumbled upon a humble Japanese noodle spot with authentic broth and no frills. The miso-based ramen had depth and real flavor. Staff were friendly but quiet, just focused on cooking. No signage, but it’s there if you look. Great find for noodle lovers“

“Been wanting to try this place for a couple years now. Glad we finally did. Excellent food, much better than any Jinya Ramen. We had a bunch of appetizers. Indeed, their Takoyaki was amazing, Howard Yang! 😍 We had 2 seasonal specials, the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll and the cold Tan Tan ramen. Both were fantastic, albeit a bit too spicy for me. Service is super friendly. We will definitely be back. Want to try a bunch of other things, including the hot ramens.“

“I like this location over the other locations because there is always parking, friendly service, and very quick! While the ramen choices aren't traditional, they are very consistent and tastes good all the same! I think they have the best tofu in ramen, it is soft and silky without falling apart. Their garlic edamame is also very tasty!“
“My local ramen spot in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, California on the border of Van Nuys and neighboring North Hollwood. Ramen Izakaya is great from take out or dine with a plethora of beverage options as well as eats. Available through doordashz grubhub and ubereats this small chain biz has an incredible creamy vegan ramen, spicy lemon grass ramen, veggie spring rolls, tofu nuggets, shishito peppers, edamame, rice bowls, salads, soups and lots of traditional Japanese and ramen dishes that will please your taste buds times two. They have some decent outdoor seating, but incredibly indoor and a huge parking lot in back. The service is always good and usually very personable. A unique Japanese cuisine eatery with some LA Valley flavor and modern plant-based flare.“

“Onigiri!! Anime Food!! Definitely worth 6.50 and super delicious ?. My favorite was the pork Onigiri. Very chill environment, the service was so great. He explained the menu to us and was very attentive and we tried 2 other Onigiri and they're huge and tasty. Spam and fried chicken ? were delicious. The other items such as the curry looked really good but we had to rush out and didn't have time to order anything else. I'll be back for more Onigiri!.“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“The meal was good ,the quality and the overall experience was excellent. The menu was similar to when I was stationed in Korea and ate at a local little restaurant . The ramen noodles were delicious. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the decor added to the overall cultural atmosphere. It provides a distinctive dining experience in a one-of-a-kind setting thanks to the spacious dining area.“
