About IKI RAMEN

IKI RAMEN is a charming Japanese spot serving delicious ramen and sushi. Despite a small parking lot, the menu offers ample options, with popular rolls. It's conveniently located near the Wiltern, making it a popular choice. The fresh sushi and fast, friendly service make it a must-visit, even for families with kids. The ramen is praised for its perfection, featuring a light broth with complex flavors and a beautifully soft boiled egg. The owner also runs a sushi restaurant, delivering great seafood dishes. Favorites include mentaiko mazeman, premium kaisendon, and the salmon burrata. The iki sushi set, which includes tuna, salmon, crab, and yellowtail, comes with separate nori for assembly, a thoughtful touch to keep it fresh. Recent reviews highlight that the beef in the A5 Wagyu ramen is super tender and the broth flavorful. Customers also enjoy the black garlic ramen with tender meat, and the spicy miso chicken ramen, which has a clean yet soothing broth, although some found the chicken dry. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including chashu don bowls and chicken ramen, with some noting small shells in the crab. The tea served is fragrant and well-balanced. The cozy ambiance, complemented by mood lighting, makes reading the menu a bit challenging, so a phone light may help. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere receive high ratings, making it a great dining experience.

Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.

My teenagers and I were impressed with the simplicity of flavors of all our dishes. We started off with an assorted sashimi plate that had 3 pieces each of tuna, salmon, kampachi, and Japanese scallops and a plate of scallop carpaccio. It was soo yummy that we ordered another plate of scallop carpaccio and then we felt like we just had to try the kampachi carpaccio. Sooo good and the scallops just melt in your mouth!
For our main dishes, we decided to share the Spicy Tonkotsu...read full review
