“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.“

“Fashionable place for not just ramen, but gyoza and self-made hand rolls.
Dimly-lit, medium-spaced tables, service is good but a bit overwhelmed when they're at capacity (which is often!). Parking is limited on the street but doable.
Have to say the NYC location is better, but honestly would need to do another visit to confirm. Distinctly remember the self-made hand rolls in particular being quite good in New York and not nearly as memorable here.“

“Easily the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had. It has a really rich, savory broth, which is a nice change of pace since vegan broth is usually a watered down afterthought at most places. It comes fully loaded with mushrooms and hashbrowns (??!?) but you can add additional veggies or an egg if youre feeling it. Very simple menu but they execution is 1000/10!“

“The ramens were amazing! Awesome flavors that were not like all the other ramen places I’ve tried. I especially loved the Lemon Butter ramen because I could add truffle oil to it. That made it rich, yet easy on the palate. The staff is so sweet and welcomes you with a smile. I will be back!(:“

“I’ve tried lots of ramen before and by far this is one of the best broths I’ve tasted. It was so creamy and full of flavor. I got the red miso ramen and it was great. The other ramens were also full of flavor and doesn’t have a water downed flavor. The staff was so freindly and nice. It gives a very personal and homey feel. Everything was nice and clean including the bathroom! They also give these free puff deserts that are filled with strawberry creme and it was a phenomenal ending. One of the staff even gave us free pocky’s as a small new year festivities.
This is definitely a lowkey, hidden spot that’s worth a try. Would recommend the ramen any day. I will be going back!“

“Delicious. Tried the Amber. I usually get a creamy/Tonkotsu option if its available but i wanted to try their signature dish. Very flavorful and not too salty for me. Had to wait about 15 minutes for indoor seating on a sunny day. Our waitress was nice and checked in after we received our food. I will be going back.“

“Great ramen considering its a chain. Staff is always nice and helpful. No frills ramen, I recommend this spot specifically from the other Jinya locations just because the street parking is so ample and less crowed than the other locations I've been to. Will be back soon.“

“A must-visit spot with an entirely vegan menu bursting with flavor. The Truffle Mac 'n' Cheese is unreal—creamy and rich enough to question its vegan status (confirmed by the owner!). Standouts include Spicy Garlic Ramen, Smoked Chili Ramen, and addictive Avocado Crispy Rice. Sushi rolls and sides like Japanese curry shine too. Cozy ambiance, quick service, and bold dishes make it worth the hunt in the unassuming plaza. Minor tofu texture quirks are forgiven for the explosive flavors. Pricey but worth every bite! 🌱✨ Updated from previous review on 2025-08-05“

“Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!
The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.
The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.
I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.
I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining
Kid-friendliness: It's small and quiet sit-down

“Friendly staff, the japanese lady was very friendly too, i love the food very tasty , Agedashi tofu was really good, fried tempura was ok but i dont like the dipping sauce better if they use the original sauce for tempura, i like the chicken curry it has a different twist but tasty and good.
Overall all really good experience ❤️❤️“

“Yet another hironori has opened up in LA and this one is close to LMU campus! The street parking is a bit abysmal especially since it's on an extremely busy highway but I did get lucky on my visit and got a spot up front. I don't actually know if there's parking on the rear.
I get the same bowl every time: tonkotsu with their original noodles and a side of garlic paste. It's delicious every single time.
I liked that they had cute little stickers!! Anyways, very grateful for this and always a 5 star rating from me.

“Something here reminds me of the old school ramen places on Sawtelle, even though this place is not on Sawtelle. The loads of toppings, the style of the noodles, the whole execution feels very familiar.
Outdoor seating is a little patio with a high top and wood tones, and a touch screen outside to order and pay. Given it's right off the street it could be noisy, but wasn't too bad this most recent visit.
It's a solid ramen but not as fashionable or hip as the newer places, with a fairly rich (but not excessively so) broth. Hint: if you want tons of ginger, this is not the place for you.“

“We came because my wife grew up eating here and wanted to revisit. The flavors of the wood were good. I think the noodles in the ramen could be cooked 30 seconds less. All the ramen in our party had overcooked noodles. The extra ramen noodle we ordered was cooked fine. For some reason the extra egg was extremely salty. We could taste it in the yolk as well. The marinade had too much shoyu; I think it could have used more mirin and more dashi or maybe more water in general to help cut the salt.
We ended with a strawberry shaved ice. It tasted like strawberry milk, it was so good!“

“The ramen was great and tasteful. The staff were pretty nice and friendly. However, we did receive the drinks before other incoming patrons, and after our ramen arrived. The gyoza came towards the end when my bf and I were full, so we didn't get to enjoy that portion as much. Everything else was good 👍“

“Let's start with the service extremely helpful and very fast. You can choose to use the kiosk to or order at the register. Personally I usually walk away with the "build your own" adding an extra egg and green onions. Though no matter what you go for I'm sure you will love it.“

I was literally weeping over the broth.

“Best vegan/vegetarian ramen I’ve had (and I’ve been to Japan!) It is hard to find a vegetarian-friendly bowl of ramen that has any flavor, but their Spicy Creamy Vegan ramen is packed full of flavor.
I’ve been coming here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. I always make sure to bring friends and family when they are in town and everyone I’ve brought raves about the food as well (including the non-veg options). I live in the area and will always choose this place over Silverlake Ramen, which is actually closer to me! We went there once and the whole time thought, “Man…we should have gone to DTLA Ramen instead.”
Service is always speedy and friendly, but last night they went above and beyond. My partner had a small health episode as we were eating and the staff immediately noticed and rushed over to help after I asked for water for him. They helped me move him to a better seat and offered us a can of soda while he was recovering. After he started to feel better, I burst into to tears (it was pretty scary!) and our waiter came to check on me. They even comped our beers, which they absolutely did not have to do! The entire experience just solidified my love for this place. I will always be a loyal customer of DTLA Ramen!“

“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.“
