Ramen Restaurants near Northridge, CA

“The Kuromayu Ramen was very good and very filling. The broth was yummy. I feared it was going to be salty but it wasn’t. The marinated egg was sooo good and the yolk was perfectly jammy. I wasn’t a big fan of the noodles but they were decent.

There is a mechanic humming sound that is quite loud and distracting. The atmosphere of the place could have been better if it was perhaps quieter. But, otherwise for a Saturday, there was no wait. The staff was very kind. The decor is nice and the place is exceptionally clean.“

“This place has the absolute BEST Oyakodon and curry. I know people focus on the ramen but for real, it’s the closest we’ve gotten to food in japan since we got back from our trip. INCREDIBLE and they have thai tea and milk tea that’s delicious!!“

“A few days ago, I was trying to decide where to eat and ended up at Kopan Sushi & Ramen. Looking back, it was one of the better dining decisions I’ve made recently. Some restaurants have great reviews but fail to live up to the hype. This was not one of them.

I started with a few sushi rolls and immediately noticed how fresh everything tasted. The fish was high quality, the portions were generous, and the ingredients worked together perfectly. Nothing felt overly complicated or designed just for appearance. It was simply good sushi made with care.

Then came the ramen, which completely stole the show. The broth was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Every ingredient felt like it belonged in the bowl, and the noodles had exactly the right texture. It was the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite instead of rushing through it.

The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere that made the entire experience even better. Families, couples, and groups of friends all seemed comfortable there. Even during a busy period, the staff stayed professional, friendly, and attentive. It’s always nice to see a restaurant that manages to stay organized while still making guests feel appreciated.

What stood out most to me was the value. In a city where dining out can become expensive very quickly, Kopan Sushi & Ramen offers quality that feels worth every dollar. You leave feeling satisfied rather than wondering whether the meal justified the price.

There are many places serving sushi and ramen in Southern California, but not all of them leave a lasting impression. Kopan did. Great food, excellent service, generous portions, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’ll be bringing friends with me.“

“Wonderful experience at JINYA Ramen Bar in Topanga! My daughter and I came for our usual quick lunch and were seated at the ramen bar. Gaby made our visit especially enjoyable — she was so warm, attentive, polite, and professional.

What impressed me most was when I accidentally wrapped my aligners in a napkin and they were thrown away. I asked if they could be found, not really expecting it, but Gaby went above and beyond, found them, and brought them back to me! I was truly so grateful.

Thank you, Gaby, for your kindness and for making our lunch such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back! ❤“

“Couldn’t be more happy about my experience today. The staff were very kind and helpful and the food was beyond fulfilling. Nothing cheers me up more than ramen and Kai took it that much higher. Something about the tonkotsu in addition to the charsiu pork absolutely reigned based on my memory of LA selections. I don’t think I’ll ever get this close to thins location any time soon but I’m glad it left a valuable place in my ramen filled heart. ❤“

“This place hit it out of the park. I stopped in for a solo dinner while away at work. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen and a beer. The food was incredible, beer properly carbonated, and my server was very kind and attentive. Prices were very reasonable too. Definitely adding this place as a go-to dinner spot.“

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

“Delicious ramen with rich black soup that tastes so authentic it brought me back to Japan (in the future time lol) Paired perfectly with a cold Sapporo beer — pure comfort. Amazing and purposeful service by Sarah, Kate, and Mona. Friendly, heartwarming, and attentive — they truly made the experience feel special. They all deserve a holiday pay raise and recognition for their great work. The owner/chef Toshiro adds a level of authenticity that makes the meal feel real, warm, and crafted with care. Upbeat Saturday night music, chill and cozy ambience, comfortable seating, and a clean, homy environment. Truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Thank you so much. God bless! :)“

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

“Oishi food and amazing service 🤗“

“I’ve been here only 2 times and I liked everything very much, the first time with my grandmother, and the second time with my ex. It’s a wonderful place with a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. On average, the price for two is about $60-70 and it’s quite expensive, that’s why I rarely come here. But it’s still a very nice and cozy restaurant i like it 🙌“

“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.“

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

“We were greeted by Aaron as soon as we walked in and seated right away. I ordered the Level 3 ramen with gyoza, and once again, this place did not disappoint. The ramen was flavorful, comforting, and had the perfect amount of spice.
My daughter wasn’t feeling well and wanted something warm, so we ordered the signature ramen broth with noodles for her. After eating it, she said she instantly felt better.
We’ve been coming here for years because the food is consistently delicious and the service is always welcoming. We’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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.“

“There's no doubt they have the best ramen in town and we have great ramen selections in LA. But the Blaze pork broth and pork buns are to die for! The service is often incredibly fast, full meals are served within a couple minutes! One of the best places to visit for a savory meal.“

“Had an amazing experience at Shiso Sushi Sherman Oaks The sushi was extremely fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the fish in every bite.

The service was friendly, professional, and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was clean and relaxing. Everything we ordered came out fresh and delicious.

Definitely one of the better sushi spots in Sherman Oaks if you’re looking for quality sushi and great customer service. Highly recommended.“

“Love this place treat you like family“

“My kids were raving about this place and they finally invited me to try this location. So naturally, I ordered their best items on the menu. We ordered the chicken pieces as an appetizer and we all chose a bowl of ramen. I ordered the beef broth truffle soup with an extra side of pork belly. The appetizer and the special sauce was delicious and the Ramen was amazing. As a big fan of Phó, this place was really good. Next time we come in, I will order the chicken broth. The only reason it didn't get a 5 star review was because of what management said to us as we dined. One of the people in our party did not have soup, they had a sandwich from the restaurant next door. Management came to our table and said that they didn't allow outside food to be eaten in their restaurant. With multiple restaurants located in this shopping center and No signs posted anywhere, I think this policy should be re-evaluated. Between the 3 of us eating Ramen, the bill was almost $84 with a tip. I think for the location being so close to other choices of food and the price, my family should be able to enjoy dinner together. I hope they change this policy in the near future.“

“Amazing food and cute interior. Will come back again!“

“Pork curry ramen was great takoyaki was good. It was my first time here and I wanted some ramen on a Saturday night. Place wasn't busy. There was one cook and one server, no problem. I'm in Santa Clarita for the next couple of weeks for work and I will be back a couple more times before I leave. Place wasn't crowded at all. No music but I got to watch a game of world baseball. Sucks I missed the Japan game. Didn't know it was going on but I did watch the US beat Britain badly.“

“My wife and I love sushi. We enjoy Katsuya and Nobu and many other fine establishments. We stopped going to these places (at a risk of sounding old) because of the the noise, the attitude, the kids screaming and have discovered this amazing gem in Encino - walking distance from our home.

Sushi - fresh and A++
Rolls - Creative and huge!
Wine - best pour I have ever seen.
Reasonable corkage
Best salmon ever

It's a quiet place - under control - a relaxed atmosphere - friendly staff and helpful chefs. Most importantly - Incredible sushi and more - a very extensive menu.

Check it out - it is a 5 star dining experience. Not fancy - but delicious.“

“Good foodstuffs at a reasonable price $$ 🥰“

“I finally tried Silverlake Ramen at the Porter Ranch Vineyards, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I’ve heard about Silverlake Ramen for years, so I was excited when they opened one so close to my house. I don’t remember the exact name of my order, but it was a chicken-based broth and I chose tofu as my protein (you can pick chicken, pork, or tofu). Seriously—YUM. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the toppings were just the right amount, and I completely got lost in that broth.

Everything was fairly priced, delicious, and the service was attentive and genuinely upbeat. I’m absolutely going back. We also tried a couple of appetizers—the gyoza and the crispy rice with spicy tuna—and both were great!“
