“I recently visited Kopan Sushi & Ramen and had a great experience. It’s one of those places that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is welcoming, and the menu offers plenty of options whether you’re in the mood for sushi, ramen, or something in between.
I decided to try both sushi and ramen, which may not have been the most disciplined decision, but it was definitely the right one. The sushi was fresh and well-prepared, while the ramen arrived hot, flavorful, and packed with ingredients. Every bite felt satisfying, especially after a long day.
What stood out most was the consistency. Nothing felt rushed or carelessly prepared. The presentation was great, the portions were generous, and the service was attentive without being intrusive.
Kopan Sushi & Ramen is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal. If you’re looking for quality Japanese food in a comfortable setting, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try.“

“The Kuromayu Ramen was very good and very filling. The broth was yummy. I feared it was going to be salty but it wasn’t. The marinated egg was sooo good and the yolk was perfectly jammy. I wasn’t a big fan of the noodles but they were decent.
There is a mechanic humming sound that is quite loud and distracting. The atmosphere of the place could have been better if it was perhaps quieter. But, otherwise for a Saturday, there was no wait. The staff was very kind. The decor is nice and the place is exceptionally clean.“

“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.“

“My dinner at Kanpai Sushi in Santa Monica was nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Yoshi is a true master sushi chef. While he may not be new to the craft, his skill, precision, and deep understanding of traditional sushi brought me back to a time when sushi was simply done right.
In fact, Chef Yoshi could probably serve me a shoelace, and it would be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
Everything was exceptionally fresh. The wasabi had a vibrant freshness that elevated every bite, and the ginger practically melted in my mouth. I sampled as much toro as I could possibly eat, along with an incredible selection of fish that showcased Chef Yoshi’s mastery and attention to detail.
The Kumamoto oysters were so delicious they made me want to kiss my fingers and thank the heavens. The uni was phenomenal and remains one of my favorite bites of the evening. However, the biggest surprise was the seared salmon belly. It was my first time trying salmon prepared that way, and it absolutely blew my mind.
Instead of ending the meal with dessert, I finished with a hand roll that combined fresh tuna and crispy shrimp tempura, topped with eel sauce. The contrast of cool, fresh tuna and warm, crunchy shrimp tempura created an unforgettable bite and was a complete game changer.
I’ve been eating sushi since I was 18 years old, and now well into my 50s, I can confidently say this is the best sushi restaurant I have ever experienced. Beyond the incredible food, the staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely respectful throughout the entire evening.
I have officially found my favorite sushi spot.
Thank you, Chef Yoshi. I’ll be back very soon.

“There are few restaurants that understand what it means to offer hospitality. Historically, the tavern was also an inn. Not just a place for a meal but a space for travelers to rest their head and to be comforted. I did not expect my grieving heart to find comfort at Rococo Ramen but I did thanks to the phenomenal service of the staff.
I was told today that a dear friend of mine had passed away. I did not have the energy to make food and decided to come here and get another stamp in my card. The ramen here is good. The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet. The service is attentive and timely.
My server offered his condolences when I expressed how I was feeling. The food I ordered was on time and done so with care. I didn't just feel like my hunger was sated but that my grief was welcomed here. I felt comforted only in a way that can be expressed by an expert in hospitality.
Thank you, Rococo Ramen. You have a customer for life.“

“This place has the absolute BEST Oyakodon and curry. I know people focus on the ramen but for real, it’s the closest we’ve gotten to food in japan since we got back from our trip. INCREDIBLE and they have thai tea and milk tea that’s delicious!!“

“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.“

“These new owners have made a beautiful sushi bar/restaurant/menu. I have been to this restaurant 4 times now for lunch. Their service has made me feel valued and special each time... Friendly and timely. The ambiance is beautiful and it feels very clean when you walk in. The sushi is SO FRESH, even mid-week, and the special cut rolls are very artistic and delicious. I very much love the no rice rolls selection, and the Chef accommodated me by making a no rice spider roll that wasn't on the menu... Mmmm, Mmmm! I'm bringing friends upon my next visit (Sat. Aug. 2, 2025).“

“A few days ago, I was trying to decide where to eat and ended up at Kopan Sushi & Ramen. Looking back, it was one of the better dining decisions I’ve made recently. Some restaurants have great reviews but fail to live up to the hype. This was not one of them.
I started with a few sushi rolls and immediately noticed how fresh everything tasted. The fish was high quality, the portions were generous, and the ingredients worked together perfectly. Nothing felt overly complicated or designed just for appearance. It was simply good sushi made with care.
Then came the ramen, which completely stole the show. The broth was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Every ingredient felt like it belonged in the bowl, and the noodles had exactly the right texture. It was the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite instead of rushing through it.
The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere that made the entire experience even better. Families, couples, and groups of friends all seemed comfortable there. Even during a busy period, the staff stayed professional, friendly, and attentive. It’s always nice to see a restaurant that manages to stay organized while still making guests feel appreciated.
What stood out most to me was the value. In a city where dining out can become expensive very quickly, Kopan Sushi & Ramen offers quality that feels worth every dollar. You leave feeling satisfied rather than wondering whether the meal justified the price.
There are many places serving sushi and ramen in Southern California, but not all of them leave a lasting impression. Kopan did. Great food, excellent service, generous portions, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’ll be bringing friends with me.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I dare say that I have a lot of experience in ramen, I recommend this place,delicious rich fatty broth,wonderful noodles, I would say 9/10, just because the small pieces of meat and in my opinion they are undercooked to the right condition to melt in your mouth.Otherwise, it's a very decent place with good service.“
