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 :)“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy“

“Loved every bite! A bit expensive but honestly worth it ! Best ramen I ever tried.
Group of 4, everyone got the signature ramen. Mine was with no spinach, peas or green onions.
Great vibe, zero waiting time and everything clean. No free Wi-Fi.“

“Josui is the most authentic tasting Japanese ramen restaurant I’ve found in Torrance. My personal favorite is the Abura Soba, especially in the warm summer months, but the Josui ramen both with and without garlic is fantastic. My co-workers go nuts for the Tan-tan men.

Yebisu on draft! What more do you want?“

“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.“

“Kotoya absolutely blew me away. I had the Japanese curry chicken katsu and it was genuinely the best I’ve ever had.

The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside, and the curry was rich, flavorful, comforting, and balanced perfectly with the rice. Every bite was incredible.

You can tell there’s real care put into the food here. I came in hoping for a good Japanese curry and left already thinking about when I can come back.

If you like Japanese curry or chicken katsu, you need to try this place. Easily one of my favorite meals I’ve had in a long time. 10/10.“

“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.“

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

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

“As a noodle lover, I found this to be a very satisfying ramen spot. This Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen chain has locations across Asia, the United States, Europe, and beyond.

You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the type of soup, and your preferred toppings. The gyoza is tasty and perfectly sized for a single bite.

When you want to enjoy both great food and a pleasant atmosphere, this place never disappoints.“

“I’m a pretty big foodie and have traveled extensively and lived in Japan and this place has my favorite ramen in the world. Their dandan ramen has such a delicious balance of flavor with a pitch-perfect amount of numbing Szechuan peppercorn. I recommend one of their tiny spoonfuls of complementary truffle oil to make it truly transcendent. If you enjoy Szechuan peppercorn at all, this will definitely be for you. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

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

“Yuzu Zen was fantastic. It’s one of the only two vegan options available at this chain. We tried it in San Francisco and were happy to discover that it’s also available here in LA. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.“

“Came for a quick dinner bite. Food was tasty and service was efficient. Easy dine out option for kids. Curry ramen is unique, and actually goes well with the karaage. Egg yolk in ramen wasn't runny. Karaage sando was tasty and a good value.“

“I don’t understand why this restaurant doesn’t have 5 stars!!! I mean, the food was very good, the ambience was beautiful and specially the customer service!! I don’t know the name of the guy and sorry about that I didn’t ask it, but I think you’ll know who we are. The girl in a purple dress and the guy with green sueter. We asked for ramen and poke bowl and they comes with very very delicious appetizers and boba drinks !! Like what ??? Really really amazing!! And honestly I’m soooo strict with customer service and this guy was really amazing!! Give him an increase in his salary!!
Thanks again for everything. I’ll definitely come back again.“

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

“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.“

“Really good food and fast service“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“It was a decent place for a decent ramen. The price for the ramen and appetizer combo was great, only $20. We got two combos. The ramen itself was good, especially good considering the price but not the best ramen I have ever had. I also thought that they gave us very little protein in the ramen. I feel like at other places they give you more. The movie theater is right across the street so it is a perfect pairing for a movie night“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“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 😋😋😋😋“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“About Me: I am Level 7 Local Guide who is ranked top 10% of Google Restaurant Reviewers and have 15M+ views. I am a born and raised NYer who now lives in Los Angeles. I do not receive compensation for these reviews.

Now that the weather is getting colder, I am naturally gravitate to more warming foods like Ramen. I am currently on a Ramen tear so expect to see more reviews of other places that serve Ramen.

I am big fan of Mitsuwa Market, a Japanese market in Venice that is sort of a food court and mini-mall to all things Japanese. Hokkaido is just one of the establishments housed in the market. Their menu is extensive for such a small kitchen. You sit in a communal food court area that has someone clearing tables which is nice. This is a no frills kind of place so don’t expect much in the way of environment or service. Nevertheless everyone is very kind and polite. I ordered a basic pork Ramen which very good. Quality of the pork is always a distinguishing factor and here it was average. That being said the broth is also key and I found it very rich and tasty. I have been here twice now and will be back again.“

“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.“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Excellent service, outstanding customer attention, and very fast service. The food was delicious with an authentic flavor, and the spicy option was a great touch. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, I would definitely come back.“

“Excelente. Servicio variedad. De comida. Deliciosas . Y frescas“

“What unbelievable wonderful flours this is really a fantastic place to eat only recommended super friendly with a great vibe I strongly suggest getting the tongue Katsu miso bowl and it was so delicious and we really enjoyed everything we had especially the teriyaki chicken and your family will love and enjoy this absolutely fantastic Ramen place to eat highly recommend recommended and don't worry about the parking there's plenty of parking in case people decide to both double park in front of the place there's still an apple way to get here do not worry highly recommended go see Abel for a smile“

“Ramen is so good I cried.“

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

“this place was amazing. staff was very nice and the food was amazing.“

“Very good food and great customer service“

“Love this place! My family and I went this week and will be back soon. Keep in mind this not a place to dine, pick up or delivery only. The miso ramen has so much flavor. If you like it spicy, the HEAT is there! The spicy tuna nachos BOMB and refreshing. My daughter is a picky eater and there was something for her too that she enjoyed, crispy chicken on rice. The staff is also very friendly and attentive which is always very important and hard to find now a days. Thank you!“

“Great food, deluxe sushi sampler is a deal that’s very hard to beat, pk3 roll is legendary (but could have crispier nori).

Staff is attentive, very friendly and helpful. Always feel welcome.

Extremely disappointed to see an ai generated image in the advertising outside. It doesn’t look like food, is gross and shows the owners are happy to cut corners where they can instead of taking a real photo of the food they make, or (even better) hiring a local photographer to hell them. A photo of a roll isn’t that hard to take, but seeing a gross ai picture is what will stop me from coming here again. I don’t want to find out what other corners the owners cut if a single photo for their lunch stand is a task too hard for them. Big yikes, Kanpai.“

“Sale dressing is the bomb.

Service is on point.

Parking Not bad. I was able to find a space pretty quickly.

REN, HIRO & HARUTO are wonderful hosts.

Open Late

Cold and hot drinks available along some alcohol as well.“

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

“Excellent ramen with a unique chicken-based broth! The Japanese BBQ chicken ramen was rich, smoky, and incredibly flavorful, with perfectly chewy noodles. The charcoal-grilled chicken was tender and delicious. The cozy ambiance makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little ramen shop in Japan. Definitely one of the best ramen spots I’ve tried!“

“DONT COME HETE IF YOU WANT FAST QUICK FOOD SERVICE!!!!!
If you’re looking for quick fast-food service, this is probably not the place for you. I’ve been coming here for a while, and the food is always good quality, but it takes time. I usually order a drink and relax while I wait for my food. In my experience, the wait is typically at least 30 minutes and can sometimes be up to an hour.

Personally, I don’t mind because I know what to expect, and I enjoy having a drink while I wait. However, if you’re coming here just because they’re open late and the prices are cheap, be aware that your food may take a long time to come out.

The people serving customers are the same people preparing the food in the kitchen. They come out to seat guests, take orders, and then go back to cooking. There isn’t a dedicated waitstaff like at many restaurants, so service can be slower during busy times.

That said, the food quality is worth the wait for me. Just come with the expectation that this is not a fast-food , service type of experience.“

“Their ramen is the best!! It’s not too fatty and heavy, just the perfect amount of soup and noodles, with a lot of flavor. I got the Suranian ramen and it was the perfect combination of sour and umami and spicy.
The eggplant appetizer was also delicious.
Will definitely go back.“

“Amazing service and food. Great surprise too that the restaurant is run by actual Japanese people so you're getting real authentic food. Everything from the sashimi, hot green tea and tempura was fresh and came out fast. If you're in the area, especially going to or from LAX, definitely stop by Kanpai Japanese restaurant.“

“Best bowl of ramen (my fav tonkotsu) in the city! I’ve becoming here for at least 10 years and that ramen has remained so consistent. Also try the milk tea, kimchi fried rice and brick toast! Enjoy J- and K- pop videos while you eat. Love this place!“

“My absolute favorite Japanese-Chinese restaurant in town!
Umemura truly feels like “町中華” — a warm, family-run neighborhood Chinese restaurant just like in Japan. Their Umani Ramen is hands down the best ramen in California… maybe even in the entire US. That’s how amazing it is!

I also love their Kanitama Chahan (fried rice topped with an imitation crab omelet). Everything is always super fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. This place is loved by all my Japanese friends, Japanese American friends, and even my American friends — everyone falls in love with it!

The servers are kind and friendly, and the cozy atmosphere makes every visit feel comforting.
Highly, highly recommended!“

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