Kai Ramen West Hollywood

Wow from a person that's lived around the area for a few years (and worked around even longer), this place was hidden in plain sight. If I had known their ramen is exceptional, I would've been here sooner.Got to try the white tonkotsu and chicken ramen... yes... I said chicken ramen. Both of the broth had its own unique, distinct flavor and it was delicious. Would recommend and definitely would come back to try more items.The only downside is it's street parking.

Kai Ramen specializes in authentic ramen , it tastes just like the ramen you might get in Japan. They serve several types of noodles and soups, along with a great selection of other favorites. Their dumping's are amazing and always cooked to perfection. They never use packaged manufactured soup. All of their soups and everything else is prepared fresh daily and it makes a huge difference. The service is so nice here. They make you feel right at home. You can eat there, which is super fun and what we do, or you can get take away or delivery. It is all going to be super. I really enjoy the employees here. They are great. They know the menu and can make a change or two if you want. You can get a small meal here or a full dinner. They have a great selection. Enjoy.

now i’m very particular with ramen spots, This place was very good! the ramen wasn’t really the issue, maybe the broth was on the lighter side and the medium a bit spicer than i thought. but overall a classic bowl and i would come again. The yuzu soda wasn’t really what i expected , basically like sparking water with some yuzu peels inside not really sure, but was good with the salty ramen as a balance to the palette. The chocolate mochi was ok nothing special but it’s ok , was a nice finish to the meal. the service was ok the lady was sweet but 30 min before close and they rush the bill on you, which feels kinda rushed but not too bad. overall 4/5 but would come back.

Recommended dishes: White Tonkotsu Ramen

The red tonkotsu ramen was hearty, with soft charsui meat and the right level of spiciness. This is one of the better quality ramen places in the WeHo area and I will definitely return!

Amazing! Great service. Food was hot and perfectly seasoned. Broth was perfect! Will def be back.

Usually this place is the better Kai Ramen than the one on Melrose and the one on 6th street. But today the ramen tasted meh. I got the Buttercorn Ramen and the chicken was really dry. So dry that after soaking it in broth it was still dry. Today out of 10 I would give it a 3/10.

Parking: It's a small parking area behind the Restaurant and it's mostly packed after 5pm

This place is a very unique to feel the Japanese authentic ramen.This is the only place in LA that i usually eat when i am craving for authentic ramen.Kudos to the Kai Ramen team!!

Great food, Classic Tonkatsu on point! Service was perfect. Good vegan options as well

I had the white tonkotsu ramen and my wife had the chicken ramen (mild). I’ve had a lot of ramen and this is up there with the best I’ve ever had. The pork in the tonkotsu ramen was very savory and tender. The overall flavor of the broth was wonderful. The chicken ramen was also very good, but I did prefer the white tonkotsu. We had ordered the chicken ramen as mild, but it was still rather spicy, so be aware. The chicken was not as savory or tender as the pork, but that is to probably to be expected based on the kinds of meat. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend.

Arrived at 12:30am because the store hours listed here said it was open until 2am; I was so hungry and ready to eat only to be met with utter disappointment that it was COMPLETELY CLOSED. Please update your hours so that others don’t have to go through what I did; things like this make people not want to come back

Best Ramen in Los Angeles! Come here with my sister every time and order the spicy seafood ramen.... mouth is watering as i write this.
