    Not too familiar with the area as we were in town for the 2025 Comic Con, we decided Ramen was the main entree for tonight's dinner and made a quick call to this ramen shop, about 5 mins walking distance from our parking spot. Called ahead to see if there's any seats and was delighted to know that around 6-7pm the seats/table is pretty open. Took us about 5 mins Divey, chill, relaxed, cool and ambient!! Those are the woods that described this awesome and uplift divey Ramen Shop, "DTLA RAMEN", reminiscent of small shops back in Tokyo Japan. While the chef may not be Japanese, the food is amazing and tastes very delicious as any other chef's ramen. Next time, we'll have to try other items when we're back.

    Katsu curry and umami beer

    I've been to DTLA Ramen a few times and have always enjoyed the food, drinks and especially the friendly and helpful staff! Last night, before attending the Orpheum theater, just down the block, I ate a delicious katsu curry and had two umami beers, at happy hour price! Always an enjoyable experience!

    Highly recommend. Great Broth!

    Great Ramen excellent broth would come back and try other items great selection of items on menu

    Tonkotsu ramen with soft boiled egg
    Katie E.

    I would rate this place a 4.5 stars. Came here with my co-workers after work. I ordered the regular tonkotsu ramen and loved it. Wish they had the shio ramen, but enjoyed eating the tonkotsu and added the soft boiled egg. Loved how the soup was super hot as I hate eating warm ramen and the noodles were perfect. Not too soft and not too hard. Will come back again to try their Vegan ramen as I heard good things about it.

    The ramen was delicious, the service was attentive, and the place was clean with a nice atmosphere. I don't live nearby, but I'll be back when I'm in DTLA

    Personally would not come back for the food. It wasn't like TERRIBLE, but I've just had a lot better in LA. The waitress was nice though!

    I love DTLA Ramen, for being a fast and friendly place that's local where I can get fresh quality vegan food. The service is amazing, the staff is always friendly, and there's always somebody close enough to wave down if you need anything at all. The vibe inside is super cute, and you can tell that a lot of work went into the aesthetic of this place. It is nothing but clean on the inside. If you're in DTLA and need a quick bite, this place is great!

    $1.50 for egg

    fairly disappointed at this place. i was craving ramen so i stumbled upon this place. went in. interior was nice and had ample seating. server seated my friend and i immediately. we had the poke nachos, spicy tonkotsu ramen, and chasu bowl. the poke nachos were great. we were starving so when we had our poke nachos, we were stoked about how our other food was going to be. when we got our food, we were quite disappointed. presentation-wise, food looked amazing!! taste-wise, the food was bland. ramen tasted watered-down. i asked for a soft-boiled egg and it was $1.5 extra, which in my opinion was not worth, not because of the money but because it just felt like it was a complete different dish from the ramen. the chasu bowl was pretty disappointing too... when my friend and i had the poke nachos again, we realized that it tasted good to us because we were super hungry. tldr; great presentation, disappointing taste. would not waste my money here again.

    Erica A.

    Super delicious. Great service. Good prices. 10/10 would come again! I had the karaage chicken and tonkatsu ramen.

    2 charges from DLTA Ramen.  The exact same items were ordered from the "lunch special".  The undisclosed up charge was on the 12/04 bill.

    SNEAKY RIP OFF! Update. The reply from the owner tells you a great deal about his business. A rude comment from him tells you that he doesn't care about his customer's experience. Instead of owning up to it and make it right he slams with insult and made up stories about me being rude. Seriously, if I were rude I wouldn't have left a tip at all, but in fact I did. Needless to say, at the time of my visit, the lunch menu on the table as well as his regular menu there and on line menu, there were no statements about the up charge like he said. I took the liberty to download the menu. I wouldn't give 1 penny to this dump. See the attached pictures taken of his menu.

    Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen $15.95
    Flora W.

    It was 1 o'clock on a bustling weekday, accompanied with a sprinkle of rain, when I, along with my merry band of 6 coworkers visited DTLA Ramen for a quick lunchtime bite. There's a lunch special deal for 1) Ramen 2) Appetizer and 3) Drink for $22.95. My eyes locked on the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen, a sidekick of crispy gyoza, and a Lychee Green Tea for my drink! The star of my lunch was the Lychee Green Tea! I first jumped at the fact that they had a lychee-flavored fruit drink, which set my heart afluter since it's my favorite fruit of all time. Why not give it a go? I was delighted I did as it did not disappoint at all! My picture-perfect ramen was also springy and chewy just like how I like my ramen. I couldn't resist the temptation to add an egg for an extra dollar - it was a small price to pay for the perfect soft-boiled egg. Admittedly, the portion was too big so I had to take most of the ramen home to enjoy...but hey, I am a huge fan of leftovers! In the end, my coworkers and I left as a happy bunch. Until we meet again, DTLA Ramen, I'll be back for more!

    New item from the menu  Sweet Honey Shrimp

    The ambiance was great and the service was on point. The food was nothing short of exquisite. It was raining and it felt like a vibe. However , I would give it a 4/5 only due to the parking situation. I had to park 2 blocks away to find parking . I would recommend for others who want a pleasant ramen experience. I paid $70 for a party of 2 the only thing that's not included is the other persons bowl of ramen. Plan ahead for parking if you're going.

    Food is rather salty. A roach flew from our table to the next one. The guy next to us squashed it. Nope. Can't ever go back.
