Silverlake Ramen

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.

The food was decent, but one of the worst service experiences that I’ve had in a sit down restaurant. I tried it again assuming it was an off day, but the place was nearly empty and we waited over 30 minutes for our waiter to return after being seated.

Food quality is not as good as other outlets. The pork bun was lukewarm and tough. Used to be more tender.

The Shoyu ramen was only okay.

The service was less than ideal. Did not even look over to see that I needed a refill of my drink; despite me waving an empty cup. Perhaps more wait staff is required.

Good service. I had the Blaze Tonkosu. Very flavorful.

Disappointing experience compared to other locations.
I took the tsukemen ramen, the broth was way too salty, the ratio noodles/soy was really off. The green tea wasn't really good either

Located in the Manhattan Village mall area. Ramen is okay, gyoza were awesome and edamame decent. Open air restaurant so gets very cold inside is the big bummer.

It was good, it was cold day and we had this nice hot soup. The wait was not long, the waitress was very nice and the food was served fast as well. The environment was good too, not crowded,

Working within the Mall and limited options for food.. it’s sad to think this place overall gives bad service on both Dine In and Take Out.

You wait practically 10+ Mins at the Front to be noticed. Whether they have a crowd or not, the same excuse of ‘Being Short Staffed’ is always used for their lack of attentiveness.

Typically when a Pick Up Time is given and you arrive at said time, you get your Order. Not here, you get it when they’re ready to acknowledge you at the Front.

When their Waiting Line is finally at 8+ People, then they’ll greet you. Anything less than that, to them it’s not a priority.

Part of a chain, the Manhattan Beach Silverlake Ramen serves up a solid meal of Ramen (also saves me from driving to Sawtelle Blvd to eat). The Ramen is well prepared, properly spiced/flavored, and served at a proper temperature. This is the go to dish when you come here. I get the Blaze with pork because I want the extra spice level and it warms me up in the winter.
The rice bowl and the appetizers are all tasty and well prepared with good sized portions.
Service is good and they will attend to your needs but the wait staff is in between a lot of tables so it can get slightly spotty during service rushes. They will drop water carafes on the table so you do not need to ask for refills. There is a Silverlake Rewards app that is great to use to get free items if you consistently dine here, so I suggest downloading it. The points update quickly after you pay for a meal.
The environment is inside but the end of the restaurant is open to the outside of the Manhattan Village outside mall area. There are plenty of heat lamps if you are near the outside so you will stay warm. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced.
Definitely will return to dine here.

Vegetable Bowl was a special treat for vegetarians. The truffle edamame was fabulous.

I got a shoyu on fire and it was okay, but the tsukeman (my favorite) was waaaaay to salty. I never tasted any salt when I order it besides today and at this location. I going to keep going to the one on Cerritos or the one on sunset.
