Ramen Izakaya Van Nuys

The food is amazing, but they now have Valet Parking, and although they only ask for tips, I hate giving my car keys to a stranger and spending extra cash on something I hate.

This is the only ramen place ive ever been to that does not include an egg with the meal. I spent $22 on spicy broth and noodles since everything is individually priced. No chop sticks or fork or spoon. Really not worth the wait or the price. First and last time

Tried both the OG and miso ramen plus takoyaki to share. Service was fast and food arrived just as quick. The bowl was the perfect size and portioned generously with meat, noodles and broth. All super tasty and flavorful. The takoyaki was on the doughier side and could have loved it with more octopus(!)
Also, slightly unrelated and not at all a complaint but it was a bit dark inside! The contrast in brightness from the outside combined with the heavily dimmed lighting inside- some sections even totally without- had us struggling to adjust just seeing the menu! I honestly got it no sweat but thought it should be noted for those of you who might like to see.

I've gone here 2 times already and I want to go there everyday. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, Cali tempura sushi, and popcorn shrimp. Everything was delicious. Great service & music as well. I like the floating paper fish as well.

Disappointing.

I ordered ramen and spicy tuna on rice cake.

The main item wasn't great. Pork was too tangy and not flavorful. But soup was very intense and difficult to consume.

Spicy tuna was warm but soggy. And the rice cake was cold. In my experience, most restaurants make rice cakes with spicy tuna fresh. This restaurant uses frozen rice cakes.

Disappointing.

The pork curry cutlet is extremely well done, crispy, and delicious, looking forward to trying the ramen next time
