Ramen Restaurants near Culver City, CA

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“The food has a great taste and I can tell the recipe of the broth is thoughtfully designed and flavored. The service was fine but the restaurant felt too crowded and loud. While I understand it’s a ramen spot, their décor and presentation are more refined than most, so the hectic atmosphere detracted slightly from the overall experience.“

“It was our first time trying Ramen and the cashier was awesome enough to help us choose. We chose the spicy ramen and it was not disappointing! It was just enough spice to make it flavorful. And it was enough to fill the tummies of two ladies and then some. I was kinda bummed that there isn't much of a varieties when it comes to ordering. Only about 4 to 5 options.“

“super friendly staff and awesome manager who didn't blink an eye and replaced my mom and aunts order to accommodate their health conditions. bomb food and and super fast serve time. will be back again Special shout out to Damont for being an awesome manager!“

“I went to the Tonchin location in New York late last year, so I came into the Los Angeles location excited and with high expectations. The food was good overall. My wife did not quite understand the hype around it, but I personally thought it was solid, even though it did not stand out as much as the New York location.

Where the difference between the two locations stood out the most was in customer service. We had to wait nearly twenty minutes just to receive the check, and throughout the meal the server rarely came by to check on us. Because of this, the overall experience at the Los Angeles location fell short of what I experienced in New York.

I do recommend the regular tonkotsu ramen and the buns“

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

“Hadasa (sorry if I spelled it wrong) made our first impression wonderful she was patient during the rush and went over the menu with us
We will definitely come back if there’s service like that ! We loved the Birria ramen! Thank you“

“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!“

“Had to come here to share how incredible the staff is at this Jinya Ramen. Every single person went the extra mile, goes to show how little details in service can add so much to the experience. I walked in starving at 9pm and was clearly a little short with the servers. Despite that, they were gracious and warm - give them all a raise!

My only criticism is perhaps lowering the volume on the music front (or even switching genres to something more easy listening) as this is a hindrance in the otherwise lovely atmosphere with the fire pit.

Excited to go back and be treated wonderfully by the staff as I enjoy another delicious meal at Jinya Burbank.“

“I fear that sometimes, we all give high ratings to vegan restaurants, despite their being less than great, just to be encouraging for the team. This place, however, is legit amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and a wonderful, genuine bowl of noodles. If you’re on the fence, wondering about the authenticity of all of the glowing Redwhite Boneless reviews, I would just give it a try.“

“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 thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.“

“Always consistent and always on point with great service keep up the good work and thank you & arigato :)“

“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“

“So friendly! So great! So yummy! The Spicy Cold Tofu special is amazing! �����“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“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!(:“

“I stumbled across this restaurant in El Segundo while I was on a business trip. this place is awesome! I got the black garlic hanasaku Ramen bowl, goyza, and a strawberry tea. the employees were so friendly and the food was fast, fresh, and delicious! I wish this was available in my local area, it would be a huge hit.“

“Great little ramen spot that’s open late! Really good tonkotsu ramen with savory broth and tender meat. Garlic butter and spice was on the side and very creamy. Also try their caffeine free tea! Street parking was also free and easy and right in front of the restaurant.“

“This is the best ramen shop I've ever eaten at, the environment is lovely, the food is amazing, and it's the only ramen shop I will eat at now. I've been going for about a year and consistently the food is always amazing, I've never had a bad meal or bad service, it's always exceptional.“

“Best ramen in LA. Hip atmosphere. Great service. Friendly workers. Highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“Sooooooo good! My daughter loves Ramen and this is the tastiest we’ve tasted so far! The sliced chicken was seasoned properly and the broth was so good! Noodles were cooked to perfection! Definitely a repeat situation!!!“

“Very good food and great customer service“

“They have great lunch specials for both ramen and sushi! Plus validated parking, which is rare in Hollywood, on the Eastown property!“

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

“Honestly, I would give more stars if I could. The ambiance and restaurant itself was very elegant but cozy. Every dish we tried was incredible, we started with appetizers the crispy rice with tuna was cooked to perfection as well as the cucumber and avocado salad, which was delicious and flavorful.
Some of my FAVORITES included the yellowtail and jalepenos which i would highlyyy recommend. The Jessica Roll was absolutely to die for and melted in your mouth. We had a few other rolls including the lemon roll and fantasy roll while also grabbing the salmon and yellowtail belly.
Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend stopping by here whether it be with friends to catch up or your significant other for a date.“

“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!“

“Decided to try this lil place after the first place e we went to was all vegan. Nothing wrong with that, just wanted some good pork ramen. My lady and I shared some great steamed pork/chicken pot stickers with a spicy yuzu sauce that was tangy and spicy. She had the chicken ramen and I had the Tekesume (sorry if I misspelled this). Both were great dishes and filling. Can't wait to come back.“

“Note: This review is part of a Yelp elite experience.

Shoutout to Sarah and the yelp intern for organizing a fabulous event. The westside elites were a wonderful bunch, and its immensely gratifying when everyone shares the love of food.

Wadaya is one of the top places to eat and you can see why. It was my first time experiencing the mazemen, which I had ignorantly ignored for the brothy ramen. However the manager mentioned that there was a dearth of good mazemen places, and the chef from Japan decided to fill that niche. Lucky for us, this is a great option for the noodle lovers amongst us (who isn't?).

I was one of only 2 elites to opt for the vegan experience that included Vegan Tokyo Mazemen, Shishito peppers appetizer and a Yuzu-forward Lemonade.

As with any good ramen, you need to mix in all the ingredients to coat the mazemen noodles with the sauce and all the accouterments. The vinegar table-side was a great addition to add in the umami, as if the brothless noodle experience needed any more umami. The yuzu lemonade was full of yuzu, light on the sugar (compared to so many other lemonades that are more sugarades) and had plenty of lemon (acid) to cut through the richness of the noodleicious dish. I liked the ratio of veggies to the noodles, although when I order takeout (which the manager said is a great idea since the dish holds well) I'd love a more veggies please option.
Tip: This dish is garlic forward, so if you love garlic, you'll be in heaven. Just carry some mints :)

Service was impeccable. The only feedback for the crew would be to jazz up the shisito peppers as they lacked a little flavor, but this may be because of the sequencing of dishes, when your flavor buds are saturated with the mazemen. However adding the vinegar gave it the right pep and it was a great complement to the main dish.

Thank you to the yelp team for shining a light on a neighborhood gem that many of us passed by but had not noticed. Wadaya know, it's now a solid addition to all of our radars. Cheesy pun unintended, or was it?

Tip: Plenty of 2 hour free parking in the neighborhood, since the lot is small and has only 3 spots for Wadaya.“

“I ordered this off of Grubhub and was genuinely shocked because the ramen was that good. Broth was super flavorful! Chashu wondefully soft! You usually expect a mediocre level of quality when your food arrives 20 minutes after it's made and in a plastic container, but it was genuinely so delicious I'll have to go to this place in person and bring friends!“

“The ramen was great! Portions were good, broth was nice, noodles were cooked well. Toppings, however, are limited to only 3. I got the curry ramen which was different but unique. Also got garlic edamame...for the price it was a small portion but tasted great.

The service was fast. You order through tablets outside or inside. Reminiscent of Japan.

There's bar seating and a couple booths inside with additional seating outside. The space is very cozy and welcoming. Downside is parking. Its only street parking or if youre lucky the lot across the street.“

“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.“

“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“

“love it nice clean, food is great I will eating there again“

“I tried the Tonkotsu Ramen at Silverlake Ramen on 3rd Street, and it was really good.
The broth was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The pork was tender, and the egg was perfectly cooked. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced.

The portion size was bigger than I expected, so I was pleasantly surprised. It was definitely filling.

Great spot for ramen in Santa Monica — I would come back again.“

“great food affordable and very clean area.with great customer service.“

“A special thank you to Kevin, manager and awesome human, for accommodating a large group of people to the restaurant (10+)! My colleagues and friends as well as myself genuinely appreciated your hospitality, patience, and making us feel so welcome. I heard that Jinya was the best ramen bar in Colorado. The hype is real. This restaurant can easily go toe to toe with the best places in Bay Area in California. I will be coming back again when I visit Denver next time especially because everyone could not stop talking about the amazing flavors each bowl of ramen had to offer.

I ordered the spicy vegan ramen bowl and I would easily order it again even though I prefer to try different menu items each time I go to a restaurant, there’s nothing quite like trying a dish that you instantly know has become part of your classic go-to dishes for future orders.

Thank you to everyone on the Jinya team at Union Square from the host, servers, chefs, assistants, admin, and to everyone in between. You made our night memorable for all of the right reasons :) Will see you again soon!“
