Ramen Restaurants near North Hollywood, CA

“I’ve tried lots of ramen before and by far this is one of the best broths I’ve tasted. It was so creamy and full of flavor. I got the red miso ramen and it was great. The other ramens were also full of flavor and doesn’t have a water downed flavor. The staff was so freindly and nice. It gives a very personal and homey feel. Everything was nice and clean including the bathroom! They also give these free puff deserts that are filled with strawberry creme and it was a phenomenal ending. One of the staff even gave us free pocky’s as a small new year festivities.
This is definitely a lowkey, hidden spot that’s worth a try. Would recommend the ramen any day. I will be going back!“

“This place doesn’t shout for attention, but the tonkotsu ramen is rich, creamy, and deeply comforting. Noodles had the right bounce, and the broth was clearly simmered for hours. The staff are quick without rushing you. I ended up slurping every last drop. A neighborhood gem for sure“

“I get the Chicken Ramen from this place all the time. I used to come here before it turned into a Hot Pot Place, and worried the Togo food would eventually go down hill. Nope. The food is delicious. And the hot pot is amazing. I go here all the time and they're always so nice, quick and unlike some other places they're happy to refill the sides, vegetables, and appetizers at the bar. Love this place so much!“

“Delivery. Came for a customer's order. Asked about the order's readiness and wanted to use the restroom, but the employee rudely and mockingly forbade me to use the restroom. Judging by this attitude towards me, it is unknown what would have happened to my food if I had ordered for myself in this restaurant.“

“Fashionable place for not just ramen, but gyoza and self-made hand rolls.

Dimly-lit, medium-spaced tables, service is good but a bit overwhelmed when they're at capacity (which is often!). Parking is limited on the street but doable.

Have to say the NYC location is better, but honestly would need to do another visit to confirm. Distinctly remember the self-made hand rolls in particular being quite good in New York and not nearly as memorable here.“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“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!“

“I come here often and it never disappoints. Giselle made our visit this time! She was so sweet and very attentative. Kaliah was also amazing and so helpful. Thank you ladies for making our experience a great one! Oh… and the food always fire!“

“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!(:“

“I was in Osaka (Japan) and tried takoyaki there...and I want to say that the takoyaki in this restaurant is top notch!!! Maybe even tastier than they were in Japan back then 🥰

I really liked the beautiful presentation and, of course, the incredible taste! 🐙

Plus, while I was waiting for my dish, I saw a huge portion of ramen at the next table 🍜
I immediately wanted to try it, so I will definitely come back again!

I would also like to note that it’s cozy inside + it smells delicious. The staff is very nice and friendly ✨“

“Great ramen considering its a chain. Staff is always nice and helpful. No frills ramen, I recommend this spot specifically from the other Jinya locations just because the street parking is so ample and less crowed than the other locations I've been to. Will be back soon.“

“A must-visit spot with an entirely vegan menu bursting with flavor. The Truffle Mac 'n' Cheese is unreal—creamy and rich enough to question its vegan status (confirmed by the owner!). Standouts include Spicy Garlic Ramen, Smoked Chili Ramen, and addictive Avocado Crispy Rice. Sushi rolls and sides like Japanese curry shine too. Cozy ambiance, quick service, and bold dishes make it worth the hunt in the unassuming plaza. Minor tofu texture quirks are forgiven for the explosive flavors. Pricey but worth every bite! 🌱✨ Updated from previous review on 2025-08-05“

“Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!

The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.

The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.

I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.

I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining

Kid-friendliness: It's small and quiet sit-down

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the 1st floor,“

“I came in on 05/10/2025 around 5pm.

Food: Tried their Tsukemen for the first time. It was served with two tender slices of pork and marinated egg. The broth was thick and salty, pairs so well with the jumbo ramen noodles.
They have a new Fried Calamari appetizer on the menu, it comes with I believe a sriracha mayo dip. The batter was well seasoned and the calamari itself is not rubbery. The batter got burned a bit, but I do not mind at all.

Service: It was perfect. The staff were attentive.

Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. Gives off a typical Ramen Restaurant vibe. It has counter seating.

Overall the food tasted great. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I don't go to Tsujita anymore for Tsukemen. Kai Ramen all the way.“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“We came because my wife grew up eating here and wanted to revisit. The flavors of the wood were good. I think the noodles in the ramen could be cooked 30 seconds less. All the ramen in our party had overcooked noodles. The extra ramen noodle we ordered was cooked fine. For some reason the extra egg was extremely salty. We could taste it in the yolk as well. The marinade had too much shoyu; I think it could have used more mirin and more dashi or maybe more water in general to help cut the salt.

We ended with a strawberry shaved ice. It tasted like strawberry milk, it was so good!“

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“The ramen was great and tasteful. The staff were pretty nice and friendly. However, we did receive the drinks before other incoming patrons, and after our ramen arrived. The gyoza came towards the end when my bf and I were full, so we didn't get to enjoy that portion as much. Everything else was good 👍“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“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.“

“I usually come here for lunch, but I must say that my experience has been nothing but stellar every time visited. Food comes out quick, ramen is cooked perfectly, and the establishment is spotless. I've been to Kopan Ramen in different locations, but I would rate this place the highest. I'm not sure if this place can handle large parties, but groups of 1-4 are perfect.“

“Supa supa cute!!! >_< i went recently on a little date with my boyfriend and we sat in front of the window, really relaxing environment and the server was so nice, and best of all, the food was super good! It was also fast, probably because it wasn’t busy but still this place’s a gem :D“

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

“Delicious food, fun atmosphere and very affordable! Always a great time!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“They have great lunch specials for both ramen and sushi! Plus validated parking, which is rare in Hollywood, on the Eastown property!“

“Yummy 😋 Ramen noodles and good 🍶 Sake. 🍜. Funny, I spoke Japanese to the cooks saying thank you for the meal and when they turned to look I saw they were Mexiconos! 😂 Good cooks though! Gracias carnales. Reasonable prices for the area in authentic ambiance :-)“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“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.“

“My local ramen spot in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, California on the border of Van Nuys and neighboring North Hollwood. Ramen Izakaya is great from take out or dine with a plethora of beverage options as well as eats. Available through doordashz grubhub and ubereats this small chain biz has an incredible creamy vegan ramen, spicy lemon grass ramen, veggie spring rolls, tofu nuggets, shishito peppers, edamame, rice bowls, salads, soups and lots of traditional Japanese and ramen dishes that will please your taste buds times two. They have some decent outdoor seating, but incredibly indoor and a huge parking lot in back. The service is always good and usually very personable. A unique Japanese cuisine eatery with some LA Valley flavor and modern plant-based flare.“

“Great food and service ..“

“Best ramen I've had in the US. Noodles were springy and chewy, the broth was perfectly seasoned and fatty without overpowering your tongue, pork melted in your mouth, the eggs were creamy. Highly suggest you to try the combos, I still dream of those little steamed buns sandwiches and my husband loved the gyōzas. Service was exceptional, the young ladies working there were very kind and attentive despite us arriving a little late in the evening.

A slightly negative note: you only get half an egg in your ramen and if you want to add an egg, it's $4 per egg. Prices are frankly high so with 2 combos and no drinks, the bill was $75 before tip. The food was delicious but it's still ramen, a cheap food that sells for at most $15 in Tokyo with add-ons, shouldn't be that high in a LA neighborhood strip mall.“

“love it nice clean, food is great I will eating there again“

“Yum! I loved the service, the food, friends and atmosphere.“

“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 😋😋😋😋“

“Salmon Ikura dish is amazing! So much flavor!“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“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.“

“Onigiri!! Anime Food!! Definitely worth 6.50 and super delicious ?. My favorite was the pork Onigiri. Very chill environment, the service was so great. He explained the menu to us and was very attentive and we tried 2 other Onigiri and they're huge and tasty. Spam and fried chicken ? were delicious. The other items such as the curry looked really good but we had to rush out and didn't have time to order anything else. I'll be back for more Onigiri!.“

“Stopped by for anniversary and DineLA!
I never knew this place existed, but it seems like they've been around for about two years. The restaurant was a lot bigger than it looked and had a lot of spaces. They even had a full bar inside with a nice list of Japanese Whiskeys (Sorry, no Yamazakis!) and other spirits.

The food was good and was presented in a 5 course meal (most likely for DineLA) Although my date got the sushi, I opted for the sukiyaki as they presented themselves as a kaiseki restaurant. They also had other options, but I think their sukiyaki was better than the sushi.

The service was great when we first got in, but the place got packed in a few minutes and it seemed like there wasn't enough servers. However, the overall experience was great and I'd probably visit again for a different menu.“

“This is the best Ramen Restaurant in the north San fernando Valley. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends. The number one thing was the flavor of the broth and spicy garlic ededame. I really enjoyed the spicy level and flavor ive yet too try other dishes from this restaurant. I'm definitely making this restaurant my to go for Ramen“

“Awesome place to eat Ramen“

“Great service awesome food A+“

“My go to favorite Ramen spot. My husband and I highly recommend the Mentaiko tonkotsu ramen & karaage chicken. So delicious. We’ve tried other ramen spots but we’ve always come back to this one.“

“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!“
