Ramen Restaurants near Northridge, CA

“I got the kuromayu and it was delicious. Tasted like getting a hug. My husband especially loved their chashu.

The popcorn shrimp was way less bready than other places’.

Our waiter AJ was friendly and attentive.

Will definitely be coming back and trying their other ramen options.“

“I love eating here! The service is always so awesome. I love that it's tucked away, and every time I've brought someone to eat here they don't expect that the restaurant is here. As for the food, it's DELICIOUS! My son is picky, and even he couldn't deny how good the food is. The ramen is amazing, it's so good and the portions are hearty. I usually end up getting a ramen combo with a chashu bowl. Now, I get to eat there AND have delicious leftovers. My family have tried other ramen places around and we keep coming back to Futaba because it's number one in our eyes. The flavor is always on point. Definitely recommend.“

“The people who work here are very nice ! Professional! And very polite on giving you privacy when needed for conversations.
The Mira Miso Ramen is delicious, especially when you add some chilly paste on it . The place is nicely Dimmed and seating is comfortable 👌“

“Very good food options. Mee Dee Thai Chicken and Maxwell Chicken Rice are delicious! Will have to try Kotsu Ramen and Akafuji Sushi next time.“

“Dee did such an incredible job. She was very polite and professional. She was super attentive and overall helpful. Definitely would come earlier in the day as the dinner period can get a bit loud but regardless a very benevolent experience!“

“I’d say even though waiting time was quite long (but to be fair, the place was really busy), I can get over that because the staff were super friendly. The portion wasn’t huge, but that’s actually a good thing . I’m not fan of wasting food, and since it’s not oversized, you can actually finish your plate. Plus, the price is really good, one of less locations where you get a real dish im mean not fastfood for these price 👍🏽“

“Oh my gosh, this ramen was absolutely amazing! Super five stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The service was great too! I’m usually not even a carb person, but I finished the whole bowl of noodles—yes, every bite. The broth was so flavorful, and the chashu pork just melted in my mouth. So satisfying!“

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

“Honestly, I would give more stars if I could. The ambiance and restaurant itself was very elegant but cozy. Every dish we tried was incredible, we started with appetizers the crispy rice with tuna was cooked to perfection as well as the cucumber and avocado salad, which was delicious and flavorful.
Some of my FAVORITES included the yellowtail and jalepenos which i would highlyyy recommend. The Jessica Roll was absolutely to die for and melted in your mouth. We had a few other rolls including the lemon roll and fantasy roll while also grabbing the salmon and yellowtail belly.
Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend stopping by here whether it be with friends to catch up or your significant other for a date.“

I always pass by here on my way to work (when it's still closed) and when I get off work (when it's too hot to eat ramen) so I never been here and today is my first time to eat here.

They have a deal for: 1 appetizer (pork bun), 1 main course (pork, egg, and ramen noodle soup in pork base) soup, and 1 drink ( Thai iced tea) for only $35!

It was one of the best munchies I've ever had.“

“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.“

“I like this location over the other locations because there is always parking, friendly service, and very quick! While the ramen choices aren't traditional, they are very consistent and tastes good all the same! I think they have the best tofu in ramen, it is soft and silky without falling apart. Their garlic edamame is also very tasty!“

“Server was excellent, friendly and very attentive. Food was light, clean and fresh. Had the Miso Chashu Ramen + gyoza dumpling combo. Lots of lean soft meat. Broth was light with lots of green onion. Gyoza was crispy and light. Restaurant was very clean and had a calm atmosphere.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our waitress, Gizelle D, was absolutely fantastic! She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed throughout our meal. She checked in at just the right times without ever making us feel rushed, and she had great menu suggestions that we ended up loving. Her positive energy really added to the whole experience, and she made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.“

“My wife and I came here to grab lunch since we were already in the plaza picking up food at another place. We came before the lunch rush so they were able to sit us quick. My wife and I came here before when they first open.

Finding parking in the small plaza is a hit or miss so just be aware of that. Our server was Jenny and we thought she was good but the service was just slow. It wasn't even lunch but I think they only had 2 waitress working and they were kind of busy already because it was a cold rainy day.

My wife got the Spicy Miso Ramen at level 3 with chicken. I got the Chef Favorite Shoyu Ramen at level 3 spiciness. My wife also got her milk tea which she loves here. We thought our ramen soup was okay but it wouldn't be our go to place for ramen.“

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

“So glad I tried this place solid 10/10... if you don't know what to order.. order the kotsu original.. I don't care for meat too much so I got it with no meat and extra egg. also the original has no spice to it so l asked for a side of the chili paste so I can fix it up to my spice level. The broth was so flavorful and not too salty.. the noodles were perfectly cooked.. I will definitely be back on those nice cold evenings..“

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

“Love this place treat you like family“

“I never leave reviews, but as someone who loves sushi and has eaten at most of the restaurants and hole in the walls in the valley — this place is hands down at the top. The atmosphere isn’t fancy, more casual, but the happy hour deal and the quality of the food is solid. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more lovely. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a casual date night or if you’re craving some solo sushi time :)“

“The menu is unique and named creatively, which I found charming. The food was well-made, and made in ample time. The service was amazing and the cashier walked me through the process, being very nice the whole time. The roll I ordered and the tea were delicious, and I'd love to come by again soon.“

“Good foodstuffs at a reasonable price $$ 🥰“

“Traditional Japanese izekaya. Daily specials. A definite must try.“

“An amazing dining at Silverlake Ramen! Every dish was packed with flavor, and the overall vibe was fantastic. I still got to try their whole menu, but here's my first picks for chicken lovers:
Edamame – Fresh, lightly salted, and a decent starter.
Crispy Chicken Karaage – Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—an absolute must-try!
Spicy Chicken Bun – Perfectly soft bun with a great balance of heat and crispy tendered chicken.

Broccolini Sesame sauce - Fresh and light side, goes great with Ramen.
Shoyu on Fire Ramen – Rich, fiery flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice (request for spice sauce additionally) complemented by perfectly cooked noodles. Vegetables are well boiled and fresh with the soup.

Sapporo Beer – A refreshing japanese beer pairing with the meal perfectly.

Cleanliness is required on tables, chairs and floor as there was lot of spillage. Will be visiting again to try more from their menu.“

“Really good food fresh and the ramen is soooooo yummy“

“From the moment I stepped in, I could tell this place was something special. The atmosphere was calm, clean, and welcoming — perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and made sure we felt comfortable right away, which really set the tone for the evening.

The food was exceptional. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that high-quality ingredients and attention to detail are a priority here. The portions were generous, and everything came out at just the right temperature. One of the dishes stood out as a favorite — full of flavor and cooked to perfection.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without hovering, offering great recommendations and checking in just enough to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a place that gets both the food and service so right. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.“

“Walking into this place the first thing you will notice is that it is very simple. There are six stills that line two of the walls with a communal table in the center. I am warning you ahead of time that the tables and stools are not tall people friendly.
Moving on, this place is not for people who have no patience. However for those of you who appreciate the time it takes to make great food then you will be right at home.
I got the Tonkotsu with pork belly and opted for the very spicy level. There are layers of flavor in this broth. The noodles have a great chew and the more I dug through this dish I discovered more spice. It wasn’t spicy for me but it was enjoyable.
I also went with their pork belly bun. It had a great flavor and it was incredibly tender. My final choice was the edamame and that too was perfectly cooked and seasoned.
For those of you who appreciate flavor over ambiance this is the place to go.“
