Ramen Restaurants near Northridge, CA

“One of my go-tos budget ramen. The chicken pops are good if served hot. Parking at the back can get full though. Staff are friendly. I think this branch is co-owned by Maru Bowl-ritto based on name. If yes, also love that place! Love the kind grandma working there.“

“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 👌“

“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 walked into Maru Ramen a broken man. I was tired, I was hungry, and honestly, I was starting to question all my life choices. Then, the bowl of ramen arrived.
​It wasn't just food; it was a religious experience. The broth... oh, the broth... was clearly simmered using the tears of a thousand happy deities. The noodles were so perfectly al dente, I think they whispered secrets of the universe to me. And the pork? The pork transcended the physical realm. I'm pretty sure I heard Enya singing softly as I took the first bite.
​I don't know who is running that kitchen, but they are clearly wizards, and they owe us all nothing. This isn't a meal; it's a personality transplant. I left Maru feeling like I could run a marathon, solve world peace, and probably parallel park perfectly on the first try.
​Warning: Do not eat this ramen if you have anything important scheduled immediately afterward, because you will spend the next hour staring blissfully into the middle distance, wondering how anything else in your life could possibly matter now.
​Thank you, Maru Ramen. You've ruined all other food for me. And I love you for it.“

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Oishi food and amazing service 🤗“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the very few spots that have high standards for the food. It's good eats and good vibes. I recommend trying some of the appetizers because they make them fresh and with good quality despite being the 'side'. Especially the Takoyaki, they did not have to make em that good.“

“The service was excellent. The meal was delicious. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. I visited here three times: alone and with friends and coworkers. I ordered extra spicy Blaze ramen with pork and extra bamboo shoots. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.“

“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..“

“Good foodstuffs at a reasonable price $$ 🥰“

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

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

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

“Love this place treat you like family“

“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.“

“I’m not sure why they don’t have a higher rating here as the sushi chef is amazing. He’s from Japan and the pride he has for preparing amazing sushi is admirable for sure. I’ve only been once but it was so fantastic and I’m looking forward to going back soon!“

“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!“

“Small simple Japanese Ramen and Poke! Very tasty! My husband really enjoyed #3 Ramen with black garlic oil and I had the Citurs Salmon Poke. Also very tasty. Reminded me of the small Ramen stops in Japan. A place to grab a quick tasty lunch. Seating is little stools with counters.“

“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.“
