Ramen Restaurants near Venice, CA

“The best local sushi spot in Venice. I love the indoor/outdoor vibe — it’s perfect to watch a game (they have huge screens). The fish is always fresh and the bamboo sake is alway cold. They also have amazing mochi, ask for the mochi tower.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“Loved every bite! A bit expensive but honestly worth it ! Best ramen I ever tried.
Group of 4, everyone got the signature ramen. Mine was with no spinach, peas or green onions.
Great vibe, zero waiting time and everything clean. No free Wi-Fi.“

“yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“The thick pork bone and fish soup has a deep umami flavor and a slightly smoky taste which is unique. A very good experience.“

“Always consistent and always on point with great service keep up the good work and thank you & arigato :)“

“As a noodle lover, I found this to be a very satisfying ramen spot. This Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen chain has locations across Asia, the United States, Europe, and beyond.

You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the type of soup, and your preferred toppings. The gyoza is tasty and perfectly sized for a single bite.

When you want to enjoy both great food and a pleasant atmosphere, this place never disappoints.“

“I’m a pretty big foodie and have traveled extensively and lived in Japan and this place has my favorite ramen in the world. Their dandan ramen has such a delicious balance of flavor with a pitch-perfect amount of numbing Szechuan peppercorn. I recommend one of their tiny spoonfuls of complementary truffle oil to make it truly transcendent. If you enjoy Szechuan peppercorn at all, this will definitely be for you. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Best ramen in LA. Hip atmosphere. Great service. Friendly workers. Highly recommend it.“

“So friendly! So great! So yummy! The Spicy Cold Tofu special is amazing! �����“

“Came for a quick dinner bite. Food was tasty and service was efficient. Easy dine out option for kids. Curry ramen is unique, and actually goes well with the karaage. Egg yolk in ramen wasn't runny. Karaage sando was tasty and a good value.“

“Yuzu Zen was fantastic. It’s one of the only two vegan options available at this chain. We tried it in San Francisco and were happy to discover that it’s also available here in LA. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.“

“Very good and genuine broths. Second best ramen in Alhambra. Kosuke on Main is my favorite.“

“The ramen was great! Portions were good, broth was nice, noodles were cooked well. Toppings, however, are limited to only 3. I got the curry ramen which was different but unique. Also got garlic edamame...for the price it was a small portion but tasted great.

The service was fast. You order through tablets outside or inside. Reminiscent of Japan.

There's bar seating and a couple booths inside with additional seating outside. The space is very cozy and welcoming. Downside is parking. Its only street parking or if youre lucky the lot across the street.“

“I stumbled across this restaurant in El Segundo while I was on a business trip. this place is awesome! I got the black garlic hanasaku Ramen bowl, goyza, and a strawberry tea. the employees were so friendly and the food was fast, fresh, and delicious! I wish this was available in my local area, it would be a huge hit.“

“I don’t understand why this restaurant doesn’t have 5 stars!!! I mean, the food was very good, the ambience was beautiful and specially the customer service!! I don’t know the name of the guy and sorry about that I didn’t ask it, but I think you’ll know who we are. The girl in a purple dress and the guy with green sueter. We asked for ramen and poke bowl and they comes with very very delicious appetizers and boba drinks !! Like what ??? Really really amazing!! And honestly I’m soooo strict with customer service and this guy was really amazing!! Give him an increase in his salary!!
Thanks again for everything. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Been wanting to try this place for a couple years now. Glad we finally did. Excellent food, much better than any Jinya Ramen. We had a bunch of appetizers. Indeed, their Takoyaki was amazing, Howard Yang! 😍 We had 2 seasonal specials, the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll and the cold Tan Tan ramen. Both were fantastic, albeit a bit too spicy for me. Service is super friendly. We will definitely be back. Want to try a bunch of other things, including the hot ramens.“

“深みのある濃厚鶏白湯ラーメン🍜 つけ麺やカレーも美味しいです 😋😋😋😋“

“We loved the authentic noodles and warm hospitality. Our lovely server also recommended me to drink the Tenth degree ginjo instead of regular sake, which I liked a lot.“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“It was a decent place for a decent ramen. The price for the ramen and appetizer combo was great, only $20. We got two combos. The ramen itself was good, especially good considering the price but not the best ramen I have ever had. I also thought that they gave us very little protein in the ramen. I feel like at other places they give you more. The movie theater is right across the street so it is a perfect pairing for a movie night“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“Excelente. Servicio variedad. De comida. Deliciosas . Y frescas“

“Excellent service, outstanding customer attention, and very fast service. The food was delicious with an authentic flavor, and the spicy option was a great touch. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, I would definitely come back.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“What unbelievable wonderful flours this is really a fantastic place to eat only recommended super friendly with a great vibe I strongly suggest getting the tongue Katsu miso bowl and it was so delicious and we really enjoyed everything we had especially the teriyaki chicken and your family will love and enjoy this absolutely fantastic Ramen place to eat highly recommend recommended and don't worry about the parking there's plenty of parking in case people decide to both double park in front of the place there's still an apple way to get here do not worry highly recommended go see Abel for a smile“

“this place was amazing. staff was very nice and the food was amazing.“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“Sale dressing is the bomb.

Service is on point.

Parking Not bad. I was able to find a space pretty quickly.

REN, HIRO & HARUTO are wonderful hosts.

Open Late

Cold and hot drinks available along some alcohol as well.“

“Excellent ramen with a unique chicken-based broth! The Japanese BBQ chicken ramen was rich, smoky, and incredibly flavorful, with perfectly chewy noodles. The charcoal-grilled chicken was tender and delicious. The cozy ambiance makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little ramen shop in Japan. Definitely one of the best ramen spots I’ve tried!“

“I’ve come to Kanpai since they opened and never had a bad meal. It’s our go-to Japanese comfort food place in Santa Monica. Love the selection of freshest sashimi and sushi. Excellent cooked dishes and best yuzu ramen in LA. Servers are really friendly and attentive. Happy Hour menu and 50% hand rolls are a great deal. Also love the plenty parking spaces in the rear.“

“A little bit okay. Broth wasn't as tasty as other places, but it was okay, not too bad....“

“We’ve been eating here for years, maybe 5 times a month. The service is friendly and quick. The food is delicious. I almost always get one of the ramens (I have five is six favorites) and they build the flavors carefully. I’d seriously say the whole operation is top notch. We tend to get there a bit before the rush so almost never have to wait for a table. I’ve tried my wife’s choices, (fried chicken, gyoza, green beans w/garlic, etc.) and I promise you the whole menu is terrific.“

“Amazing service and food. Great surprise too that the restaurant is run by actual Japanese people so you're getting real authentic food. Everything from the sashimi, hot green tea and tempura was fresh and came out fast. If you're in the area, especially going to or from LAX, definitely stop by Kanpai Japanese restaurant.“

“About Me: I am Level 7 Local Guide who is ranked top 10% of Google Restaurant Reviewers and have 15M+ views. I am a born and raised NYer who now lives in Los Angeles. I do not receive compensation for these reviews.

Now that the weather is getting colder, I am naturally gravitate to more warming foods like Ramen. I am currently on a Ramen tear so expect to see more reviews of other places that serve Ramen.

I am big fan of Mitsuwa Market, a Japanese market in Venice that is sort of a food court and mini-mall to all things Japanese. Hokkaido is just one of the establishments housed in the market. Their menu is extensive for such a small kitchen. You sit in a communal food court area that has someone clearing tables which is nice. This is a no frills kind of place so don’t expect much in the way of environment or service. Nevertheless everyone is very kind and polite. I ordered a basic pork Ramen which very good. Quality of the pork is always a distinguishing factor and here it was average. That being said the broth is also key and I found it very rich and tasty. I have been here twice now and will be back again.“

“Friendly environment. Fast service, Fresh food, clean. love the Poke there.“

“Best bowl of ramen (my fav tonkotsu) in the city! I’ve becoming here for at least 10 years and that ramen has remained so consistent. Also try the milk tea, kimchi fried rice and brick toast! Enjoy J- and K- pop videos while you eat. Love this place!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“great service, wonderful staff and food was amazing“

“From the Beef plate to Udon to sushi rolls everything is amazing. I found this gem just walking around and it has become one my favorite spots where I visit weekly. All the food is so fresh and the flavor is amazing and portions are generous. A must go while in LA.“

“Best sushi in the city! You feel like you’re in Tokyo.“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Excellent Sushi and service! The garlic edamame was delicious! Service was fast and friendly and they have PARKING!!“

“Action abounds as the city walks by the quiet Patio seating clean menu and seating the comfort of the appetizers gets you ready for the lovely entree private bathrooms and helpful staff and not to mention the water tester said they have a good water and ice system“
