Some of the best Japanese comfort food in LA. Everything is rich and yet light, flavorful and so satisfying. Consistent every time and the staff is super friendly. Get the Dan Dan ramen

The worst ramen place I’ve ever been. First the service is like a comedy. The lady comes thousands times in less than 2 minutes ask if we are ready. And the food is disgusting.No way to come back!

This is hard for me. On one hand, I don’t want to share this secret for fear it may make it harder for me to enjoy in the future. But on the other, this should be the most celebrated ramen in Los Angeles. It is hands down my favorite ramen, karaage and curry. Chef Niki is an absolute master and the service is unmatched.

Chicken ramen is amazing! Great ambience, great presentation and service, and the ramen is even better. Chicken was so tender and the broth is something to write home about, plus price is solid for LA - 10/10

Sweet little takeout soot with pleasing mod interior design & thoughtful touches throughout. We enjoyed the two vegan options and they each had very distinct flavor profiles, the spicy one being quite hot by default but still delicious. Really nice service and kind people. Highly recommend!
Laki was a super cute place, don't let all the construction outside fool you! Although parking can be a pain, it's definitely worth giving it a shot, and hopefully the construction will be done soon so that they can get more business. I ordered the tsukemen (dipping ramen) and it fully satisfied my craving! The broth was thick and flavorful and the meat was cooked perfectly. The table ordered karaage to share and it was so tender and crispy! I don't usually care for karaage so this was very good. Overall there were a couple mishaps with the service but hopefully just something that a little more time and training can't fix, although the service was very nice.

Got the spicy chicken ramen. It was really good, a bit salty for my taste but still very good. The prices for ramen had gone up so it was about $19 with change. Place looks very nice and modern. I will be coming back.Parking: The lot is small and very smaller with construction going on.
Laki Ramen, you've got the ramen game on lock! Overall, a noodle-tastic experience. We went wild with both the pork and spicy vegan options; the vegan was so-so, but the pork was delish. Quick and easy service, a spotlessly clean joint with tasteful vibes, and that casual, easy-going energy made me feel right at home. Laki Ramen, you're a noodle dream come true!

Food was priced right and tasted good. They put a lot of time and energy into making their ramen.
Visited this place after seeing the great reviews and after trying to get a table at Uovo. Although the restaurant looks out to a parking lot and is rather small, the service is super friendly and warm. We ordered the beef ramen and the spicy ramen, both had a lovely and thick stock and good flavour. My partner had the spicy and absolutely loved it but not for the light hearted. Definitely recommend!

Got spicy ramen and chicken karaage. Broth was thick and really good. Chasu was delicious! 10/10
Really cute ambiance. Minimalistic and new. The service was really good and alternative . This seems to be a business run by women. Love that . Hope they succeed. The food is good. It's a tough market to compete in. Recommend their tsukemen. Seems to be Japanese owned.

I’ve tried to eat here twice now. Both times I’ve had to walk. First time was with a gluten free friend and we couldn’t clarify that they could accommodate him as there’s soy in all the broths. Second time we were squashed in right by the door on a cold and rainy night and we asked to move. As the waitress pointed to another table another couple walked in and were sat there. There was no food coming out of the kitchen during the 25 minutes we sat there so we left and went to Tonchin instead. Should I try a third time?
