Silverlake Ramen

The food was okay, but the broccolini had too much oil. Also, the dressing for the creamy broccolini is from Costco and is literally just sesame kewpie dressing. The service took forever and I ended up waiting 40 minutes for my food. I also ordered to-go and all the other customers, even if they came after me were served first as long as they were eating there. The restaurant did have a nice atmosphere and was very relaxed. The location is in a tucked away spot with not too much traffic, making it a peaceful place to be.

The General manager Izumi, is amazing she went above and beyond for our party. She is very attentive and warming. The food was spectacular. By far, our best experience at Silver Lake.

Silverlake Ramen might be famous, but the bowl I got was anything but special. The broth was overly salty and the pork didn’t taste fresh. For a place with this much hype, you’d expect flavor, care, and quality, but it delivered none. It’s just another overhyped spot riding on its name.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Silver Lake Ramen for years because my family and I love the food and service. Unfortunately, this last visit was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had here.

The server (I believe his name was Tua) completely ignored us when we arrived, even though he had only two tables. We had to ask the host at the register to seat us. When he finally came over, he dropped three glasses of water and threw the menus on the table without even a greeting.

Throughout the service, he never once asked if we wanted drinks or checked on us. We had to insist to place our order, and instead of responding, he simply walked away. His behavior toward us was rude, dismissive, and felt discriminatory. What confirmed it for me was seeing how quickly and warmly he greeted and served a white family right after treating us so poorly.

This kind of service is unacceptable. Silver Lake Ramen is better than this, and customers deserve respect regardless of their background. The rest of the staff, as always, were professional and kind—but this waiter’s attitude ruined the experience.

Could be good but after waiting 6 min outside to be seated I gave up and left, tables were empty and the place was well staffed

Service was good. Nice setting. Food? Yucky. Our ramen with pork smelled and tasted like a bad pig farm and we really couldn't each much. Waste of $20...wish I liked it.

The ramen is mid at best. You can’t pick your toppings. There are better ramen out there. I’d recommend Shin Sen Gumi Hataka Ramen in Gardena

We came on 7/22 around 7pm. The food was good. We usually go to the Cerritos location but realized this one is closer . Food was good but our waiter with the blonde hair and neck tattoo was super rude just because i asked her was it okay to sit on the patio. I was trying to confirm it was okay and she waved her hand rudely and nodded without making any eye contact . It was very rude and she did it while taking the people next to us order. It was very awkward . She then took a while to come to our table and take our order . Her whole demeanor was rude after . I was with my 10 yr old son who had been wanting to come and he picked it up. It also makes it hard to want to stay and trust your food will be okay . Something like that should not have easily caused her to treat us like that .

Service is pretty bad it’s not even that busy and the two servers couldn’t handle it.

I don't like giving bad reviews but the ramen was just not good. The gyozo was even worse. There are much much better places around.
