“I usually come here for lunch, but I must say that my experience has been nothing but stellar every time visited. Food comes out quick, ramen is cooked perfectly, and the establishment is spotless. I've been to Kopan Ramen in different locations, but I would rate this place the highest. I'm not sure if this place can handle large parties, but groups of 1-4 are perfect.“

“Reason for visiting: cousin's birthday dinner

Date/time of visit: Saturday night, 7:30 PM

Parking: they offer valet (not sure how much it is) but you can park on the street (along Rubio) or Ventura for free (meters are off on the weekends)

Party size: 5

Environment/ambience: pretty loud inside (sometimes couldn't hear ourselves talking); mixed crowd but mostly younger (teens and 20 somethings). Didn't see any TVs inside; restroom was pretty clean. Seating was tight; it was a table for 4 but we squeezed a chair. They were busy all night so probably best to make reservations.

Service: was great; very friendly and offered suggestions. Came around often. Offered them one of the desserts we brought, they took off a couple items from the bill ?

Food: everything was great; had the Blue Fin and Salmon Belly handroll, spider roll, Katsuya Sake, beer, mixed sashimi, Lobster dynamite, scallop cut roll

Cost: $390 with tip

Would I go back (yes/no): 93/7“
