Ramen Restaurants near Marina Del Rey, CA

“Always consistent and always on point with great service keep up the good work and thank you & arigato :)“

“I had such a great experience here! Danny, the manager, welcomed me right away and even set me up with a perfect corner table—which made the whole meal feel extra relaxed. Alissa, our server, was amazing—super friendly, professional, and on top of everything without ever rushing us. The ramen itself was incredible, full of flavor and beautifully balanced. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the team, this spot definitely deserves 5 stars. I’ll be back for sure!“

“Easily the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had. It has a really rich, savory broth, which is a nice change of pace since vegan broth is usually a watered down afterthought at most places. It comes fully loaded with mushrooms and hashbrowns (??!?) but you can add additional veggies or an egg if youre feeling it. Very simple menu but they execution is 1000/10!“

“The ramens were amazing! Awesome flavors that were not like all the other ramen places I’ve tried. I especially loved the Lemon Butter ramen because I could add truffle oil to it. That made it rich, yet easy on the palate. The staff is so sweet and welcomes you with a smile. I will be back!(:“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“The thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“I stumbled across this restaurant in El Segundo while I was on a business trip. this place is awesome! I got the black garlic hanasaku Ramen bowl, goyza, and a strawberry tea. the employees were so friendly and the food was fast, fresh, and delicious! I wish this was available in my local area, it would be a huge hit.“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Small ramen place among several Japanese businesses in Torrance.
We were a family of 4. 2 kids and us parents all of us are vegan.
We ordered vegan gyoza and the 2 vegan ramen they had. The food is great even if the vegan options were limited.
The service felt rushed and the lady who attended us was curt/rude. We had to ask for bowls, cutlery, napkins and everything else.
The other lady was nicer.“

“So friendly! So great! So yummy! The Spicy Cold Tofu special is amazing! �����“

“Great little ramen spot that’s open late! Really good tonkotsu ramen with savory broth and tender meat. Garlic butter and spice was on the side and very creamy. Also try their caffeine free tea! Street parking was also free and easy and right in front of the restaurant.“

“Very nice clean restaurant friendly and fast service . The ramen was so good ! Broth was creamy and flavorful. Hands down the best tasting ramen chicken broth I’d ever had. The noodles were good with the right amount of chew. The egg was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back.“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“We love this place. They have many different choices of ramen. The servings are Huge !! I would recommend this place to Everyone.“

“A little bit okay. Broth wasn't as tasty as other places, but it was okay, not too bad....“

“Really good food and fast service“

“Very good food and great customer service“

“Let's start with the service extremely helpful and very fast. You can choose to use the kiosk to or order at the register. Personally I usually walk away with the "build your own" adding an extra egg and green onions. Though no matter what you go for I'm sure you will love it.“

“Something here reminds me of the old school ramen places on Sawtelle, even though this place is not on Sawtelle. The loads of toppings, the style of the noodles, the whole execution feels very familiar.

Outdoor seating is a little patio with a high top and wood tones, and a touch screen outside to order and pay. Given it's right off the street it could be noisy, but wasn't too bad this most recent visit.

It's a solid ramen but not as fashionable or hip as the newer places, with a fairly rich (but not excessively so) broth. Hint: if you want tons of ginger, this is not the place for you.“

“Best ramen in LA. Hip atmosphere. Great service. Friendly workers. Highly recommend it.“

“This place right HERE!!!!!!!
This Ramen House is superior, premium and ultra! The broth base alone is transformative. I was taken away into another dimension personally, seriously.
I was literally weeping over the broth.

We had appetizers which were delicious and fresh. I can not wait to return.

This Ramen House can stop wars and bring about world peace“

“Been wanting to try this place for a couple years now. Glad we finally did. Excellent food, much better than any Jinya Ramen. We had a bunch of appetizers. Indeed, their Takoyaki was amazing, Howard Yang! 😍 We had 2 seasonal specials, the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll and the cold Tan Tan ramen. Both were fantastic, albeit a bit too spicy for me. Service is super friendly. We will definitely be back. Want to try a bunch of other things, including the hot ramens.“

“Santouka is one of the better chains of authentic Japanese ramen around.

I like this food court format, easy, reasonably priced, quick.

I had the miso and it was excellent!!!

The ramen too is priced right. $12.95 for small, $13.95 for medium and $15 for large.

Shio - it certainly has a lighter flavor than the Miso one but Miso will taste better in my opinion“

“Sooooooo good! My daughter loves Ramen and this is the tastiest we’ve tasted so far! The sliced chicken was seasoned properly and the broth was so good! Noodles were cooked to perfection! Definitely a repeat situation!!!“

“Good food and price! We come here when we're penny pinching but looking for a really nice meal.“

“深みのある濃厚鶏白湯ラーメン🍜 つけ麺やカレーも美味しいです 😋😋😋😋“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“Thursday after working OT, my coworker and myself were planning to have dinner before heading back home, while driving down the street on Olympic I saw this ramen shop and I noticed few fellas outside waiting to be seated , and I realized that maybe the place was good. Once we were there we have to write the name. Anyway after waiting for about 15-20 minutes it was our turn. The restaurant is not huge, but is clean. We have to scan the QR and Start from there. My coworker got spicy miso and I ordered the veggie ramen, short time after, we got our food and mine looked amazing, came with cherry tomatoes, fried eggplant, lotus, mizuna, and broccoli. Broth was perfect and very delicious. I believe shiitake would make a good match to the veggies, ear mushroom and nori and some corn, just my personal opinion. However every place is different and have their own ingredients, and I was very surprised when I saw mizuna in the ramen, never had ramen with mizuna. Highly recommend this shop for ramen lovers or anyone interested in trying it. It's worth the shot.“

“great food affordable and very clean area.with great customer service.“

“The food and vibe here are definitely old-skool healthy and delicious japanese food. it's not like all the other ramen restaurants popping up where the ingredients and broth are much heavier whereas at Asa, the masterful simplicity of the broth complimenting the toppings is something to be appreciated. The place is old, and smells a bit like cigarettes but I got used to it pretty quickly (I am very smell sensitive so I almost left but the man who I am guessing is the owner, came over and gave us little chips with our beer and he smiled and giggled a little. I instantly fell in love ❤️). Everything was delicious. Try it out!“

“Loved it!
First off, the ordering process is super simple — very easy and straightforward.
The food came out quickly, with hardly any wait time.
Prices are great, and the portion sizes are huge!
Everything was really delicious, with rich flavors and perfect texture.
Couldn’t find a single downside for myself.
Highly recommend!“

“Their chasu pork was excellent! They didn't cheat by boosting it with lots of rice, they had generous serves of both pork and veggies. And the staff are very friendly.“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Back at JINYA Ramen Bar in Santa Monica (first discovered it in Austin!) - they have multiple LA locations.

Their spicy vegan ramen is one of the best vegetarian bowls I’ve had—filling, flavorful, and customizable. I usually ask them to skip the tofu and sometimes add bok choy or cabbage. They also serve meat options, but honestly, the veggie ramen stands on its own. Some people add egg to the bowl :)

Indoor-outdoor seating is nice, service is friendly, and parking’s easy with a paid lot right behind.

The menu seems to have changed slightly this visit —missed the little “slurping” message at the bottom of the bowl this time! Still, one of my favorite spots for casual ramen in LA.“

“A hidden gem in Torrance. The chicken karaage is must try.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“We loved the authentic noodles and warm hospitality. Our lovely server also recommended me to drink the Tenth degree ginjo instead of regular sake, which I liked a lot.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Ramen is so good I cried.“

“Don’t let the exterior deter you from what they serve. Crazy to think Umemura has been around for 45 years!

“Friendly environment. Fast service, Fresh food, clean. love the Poke there.“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Less 1 star because airport price gouging but keep reading: I was very happy with the tonkatsu salt ramen. Like I would actually delay eating prior to the airport just to have this again and chill prior to boarding. Sometimes other ramen broths don't get the attention they deserve because a ramen place will specialize in one, so I can't speak for any other dishes and it'd be shame if so, but tonkatsu salt is where it's at, and I'm not just saying good for airport food. I hope they keep the quality high here, finally a place I'm not insulted to eat at inside an airport.“

“Hidden gem. Noticeably high quality ingredients and great service. Even my Korean mom, who is germaphobic and difficult to impress, enjoyed her meal very much. Will be coming here again.

We ordered the oyster/uni (!), the baked scallop roll (!), the chirashi bowl, the sea cucumber, and the spicy japan scallop roll. Everything tasted fantastic and we didn't leave a single grain of rice.

In my opinion, it's rare to encounter Japanese food in America that I end up loving. Every raw ingredient looked and tasted fresh. Uni here was creamy, the green tea was well-steeped, and the sesame seeds on the spicy japan roll were aromatic.

I highly recommend that you come here for a special occasion or whenever you crave extremely FRESH Japanese food.“

“We had a party of 12, the restaurant was very accommodating to our needs. My friend is a regular patron and celebrated her daughter's birthday with the party. The staff allowed us to bring a birthday cake and even put the cake on a serving plate! They got all our orders correctly! Food was tasty and service was top notch. Highly recommend if you want ramen or rice bowl.“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“I finally made it to Chibiscus and had an excellent meal. It is a small shop with a few tables and has some cute decor. And it has parking!!!  There is street parking as well if the lot is full. It is not a huge book of a menu. But the choices are well done, and everyone should be able to find something they want here. I started with the veggie potstickers and a spicy tuna hand roll. And then had the chicken curry dish as my entrée. Do not order too much at first, save some room for dessert. Oh my gosh! The desserts look amazing, and folks drive from all over for the brick toasts here. My food arrived after just a bit. The potstickers were good. Good flavor and not overcooked, along with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy tuna handroll was huge! What a deal! Maybe 6-7 bites to eat it all. The curry came out and was a good amount of food, just like everything else that had already been served. A large scoop of rice, some pickled ginger and a big bowl of Curried chicken came out. It was really hot, and I needed to let it cool a bit before digging in. It had a nice flavor, like a brown sauce with curry added maybe(?). Potatoes, carrots, and plenty of chicken, it was a good amount of food. I probably should have taken some food home but ended up just eating everything there. Next time, dessert!“

“great service, wonderful staff and food was amazing“

“Excellent Sushi and service! The garlic edamame was delicious! Service was fast and friendly and they have PARKING!!“
