Burosu ramen 最好的拉面

Came for the floating noodles but it was only available for their spicy ramen option, which was a bummer. Other than that, food and the drinks were good.

This place advertises themself as an “experience” of a meal, and a couple others and myself decided to try this claim out for ourselves.

The place doesn’t scream “Japanese food” or “ramen bar,” but it is a cozy-feeling modern-ish cafe, albeit a little limited in seating.

The staff were very welcoming off the bat, and would continue to be polite for the duration of our stay.

But we mostly came here for the food:

First off, the Okinawa tea does not live up to its name whatsoever. I expected a less sweet tea with the signature kokuto sugar that Okinawa milk tea usually has, but it lacked any similar flavor— it tasted like sweet cream.

The karaage and crispy tuna rice appetizers are decent, being cooked relatively and tasting how you’d expect a cafe dish would.

A funny thing about the menu— all the names are the romaji of katakana-ified English colors (lol)… although some colors are English loanwords in Japanese (I.e. orange and pink)

The Kurimu (cream; miso-tonkotsu) ramen I ordered with the garlic oil was extremely salty. It wasn’t a flavorful salty whatsoever— it tasted like the ocean, and not in a good way.

The reddo (red; tantanmen) ramen I didn’t try, so I can’t make any comments there.

The howaito (white; tonkotsu) ramen had a very watery tasting broth.

The noodles in all of them didn’t exactly feel cooked, and clumped together like frozen portions would (which might just be from it being removed too soon).

The pork chashu, however, was deeply flavorful and well cooked.

This place did give us stamp cards and coupons for a next visit, which is nice, but I don’t know if I will be returning.

Parking: The plaza Burosu is located in is sat directly above a parking lot, which is supposed to be valet, but is self part at some times (even when it’s marked to be valet at the time)

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is very quiet, but older kids should be fine.

Lunch special was a decent value, but overall ramen was nothing special and service was lacking.

Lady who served me looked annoyed and was rushing around the whole time so I felt bad asking for anything, including switching my drink order or asking why there was a floating thing in my drink.

Ramen noodles were good but broth was not dense/flavorful enough. Chashu had some tough to chew parts. Egg had an interesting taste. Gyoza was too crispy and flavor was lacking - dipping sauce didn't help.

We like nothing we ordered. Ramen was undercooked, fried pork is overcooked, ginger is chewy. Service is slow, one waitress has to take care of everything I feel bad for her situation. Overall the food is below the average ramen place, we would not recommend you come.

The best Tonkotsu ramen in the valley hands down. We are ramen lovers and live in Studio City, our favorite ramen places are quite far away, so we have been looking for closer alternatives. Burosu has been a pleasant surprise, with full-bodied broths, fresh pasta and well-prepared ingredients. The service is always very friendly and the place is always clean, with a coffee shop atmosphere, good prices and good promotions during lunch and dinner hours.

$12 lunch ramen special is incredible! Don’t sleep on this place - it’s legit. The lunch special ramen isn’t a smaller bowl. It’s a giant (regular-sized) bowl of deliciousness. Excellent noodles and even better broth. I stumbled on this place & am so glad I did!

It was our first time visiting on a Sunday. I liked they have lunch specials at affordable prices and photos of their drinks and ramen. I brought a stroller and they were accommodating. When I didn't like my drink they remade a different one which I appreciated. The food was great as well as the presentation - we will be back.

The location is nice, the place cute, the cleanliness pleasant, the service enjoyable but the food, I was not fond of. The Gurin Ramen I picked was not the best I have had. Next time I will opt for the sushi rather than the rest. The green tea ice cream though was a HIT!
