    Garlicky Crispy Wings
    Kay Y.

    Used to work around here and staff is still the same friendly and swift service here! Came today for the OG ramen with coconut milk broth and it still hits. I wish they had a spicy version of this but none the less can't go wrong with the Ebaes ramen and their flavorful garlicky wings that are so crispy. Ambiance is also super cute love how they decorated this place to look like a a Japanese tavern almost

    Ebaes is such a fun restaurant with a unique spin on Japanese and Thai comfort food. We loved the vibe of the interior with the beautiful murals, string lights and paper lanterns. The staff were all so friendly and helpful as well. The food had bold flavors and our favorites were the ramen, chicken karate, Hawaiian fried rice and sushi rolls. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family! Pro tip: they have $8 ramen in the first day of the month and great happy hour deals!

    High-key incredible food and service! Just checked out EBAES LA and they absolutely blew me away. The service here is top-tier. The gentleman helping us was super attentive, and the entire staff was extremely friendly from the second we walked in. As for the food? Unreal. We ordered a massive spread: * Tonkotsu Ramen: Literally tasted like something I haven't had in years. The broth was perfect. * Big Love Bridge: This thing was huge! So much to choose from, incredibly fresh, and definitely worth ordering if you want a variety. Appetizers/Bowls: The cream fried wontons, seaweed salad tofu, and chicken karaage bowl hit the spot. * Thai Tea: So refreshing and the perfect addition Definitely 10/10 recommend!

    Shoutout to Daniel, he was our server on a Saturday afternoon at around 6:30pm and he made sure to check up on us and that all of our requests were being met. As for the ambiance, it's great. The decor, lighting and the whole restaurant has a great vibe. The food itself was great. It was 3 of us so we ordered the large sushi boat and we also got a nigiri side with an extra set of nigiri (that's why you'll see in the picture 3 of each type of nigiri). Service, food and ambiance were all exceptional. Price is reasonable too.

    This was a great time! From the music and the ambience. It felt very on theme since it's a hidden gem. This was so fun! The service was meh, but the food was incredible. I highly recommend the katsu, the sushi, and the Korean iced coffee! The iced coffee was delicious and strong. They have a variety of sushi and ramen selections. I cannot wait to come back!! For 3 people and a fun time totally worth the $75 price. The parking was good especially infront of the shop.

    2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen & 1 Tonkotsu Ramen
    Cheska F.

    - Ordered the spicy tonkotsu & spicy edamame Spice difference between the spicy and original tonkotsu is UNIMAGINABLE. I can handle spice but it felt like I accidentally got the Diablo ramen. I had to make sure I got the correct one with the waiter but she dips her fries in the Diablo sauce so clearly I asked the worst person in the restaurant. This meal actually made me physically sick before I even left the restaurant. I eat out a lot and I've never experienced this type of reaction. I started to burn up on the way home & immediately threw up once I did. Edamame wasn't spicy at all. Idk how that was labeled as spicy in comparison to the ramen. Wouldn't order again, not well seasoned. I came on $8 ramen night (thank god because this wasn't worth the regular price). The wait was 1.5 hours when arriving at 8:30pm for 3. They are really nice about the waitlist tho, as long as your name is on the list they will seat you even if it's past ten. The service was pretty much nonexistent. They brought out our food & check and that was about the only time we were paid attention to even when we were constantly looking around for someone to help us. They did comp one item because the food took so long which was really nice (well past last call & to the point where the workers were cleaning up and chit chatting with one another). The guy working as a host was definitely over the whole night. It was busy to be fair but he chose to clock in so atleast act correct. Overall, no I would not eat here outside of $8 ramen days & only if I were desperate.

    KBBQ Rice bowl

    This restaurant feels like a fever dream. The decor is all over the place. I do love the mural on the wall which consists of a large dragon with a nose ring looking over a village consisting of disney characters (Mike Wazowski, R2D2, timon and pumba. etc) and exactly one (1) Hello Kitty. My friend and I stopped here because it says they're theme is "hello kitty decor" and we were immediately sold. But walking in, it has more of a: leftover dorm-room decor vibe. There's nothing wrong with that, just not really what we expected. The food is definitely good! My friend and I have ordered a korean BBQ rice bowl and I've finished it each time. We also ordered the goyza and cream cheese filled crisp puffs. The chili sauce that is served with them is very good! Service is good but when they are busy it can get held up, which is understandable. The thing I like most about this place is their deals, they advertise free ramen or rice bowl for your birthday or game day deals. This place is very unique and definitely has it's own vibe. I highly recommend you check out their bathroom for an interesting wallpaper surprise.

    The atmosphere here is fantastic -- it's a small, cozy spot with dim house lights and a warm glow from accent lighting. Very inviting and comfortable inside. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, some of the best ramen l've ever had. The Diablo Ramen is actually spicy, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm giving 2 stars because of the service and how the restaurant operates. We arrived at 8:30 PM and weren't able to place our order until about 8:50 PM. Not long after, our server informed us they were doing a "last call for food" because it was slow. What made it even more uncomfortable was that after we received our food, several staff members sat at a table by the kitchen, clearly waiting for us to finish eating so they could close and leave. It made us feel rushed and awkward, which completely ruined the experience - especially since we were meeting up with a friend we hadn't seen in years and were hoping to spend a relaxed evening catching up. By cutting the kitchen early and making guests feel like they're inconveniencing the staff, it not only takes away from the customer experience, but also costs the restaurant potential sales and a higher tip for the server. It came off as poor management and left a very disappointing impression, particularly for a first-time visit I was really excited about. The food alone would absolutely bring me back - but only if the restaurant handles slow nights differently in the future.

    Karaage

    Been here a few times, and the first time I came here I loved their sushi rolls and takoyaki! I came again recently and thought it felt short based on their Chicken Bowl and Karaage. They were a bit bland and tasted cheap. I feel like these items aren't for me personally. I had their Rainbow roll and their rice and the rice was a bit hard. The fish quality was decent but just didn't hit. I don't think I would die to come back here again. Although im not a huge fan, the vibes are good for dates or catching up with friends. They also have a variety of flavored soju and beer.

    We parked a few blocks away and walked over. The place was small and packed! The inside was fun with all its art on the wall. The girls restroom was funny with its Zac Efron and Channing Tatum wall. I got the Original Ebaes ramen with chicken. I wouldn't say it was anything impressive. The chicken was pretty dry which brought the dish down.

    Garry L.

    This place used to be my go-to spot for food after a long day at school, but today was a complete disappointment. I found a piece of hair in my ramen, twice! Additionally, the portion of the chicken karage was smaller than usual. The hair is my last straw, and I'll never be coming back here again.

    Th atmosphere

    The tofu tasted like pancakes and wasn't seasoned well so that wasn't the best but other than that the tang in the cauliflower was so amazing and the perfect level of spice tbh and the seaweed on the California roll was some of the best, what a great date night

    Food, is very good , everything pretty much was excellent !!!! Service and ambiance was low key small place but open seating and very good

I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.

I got the fried rice, previously one of my favorite side dishes here, but the Yakimeshi rice was too dry and disappointing. I added garlic and soft boiled egg to my ramen. The garlic flakes were too big/strong and overpowered everything. The egg was good. Since the noodles and broth are the most important parts and were both decent, I'd keep this place at around four stars. But there are a lot of other ramen places to try in the area. Original from years ago: Overtook Daikokuya as my favorite ramen place. I love so much about the place except the wait. And the parking, which doesn't validate as long as it used to.

Since the pieces were large, it was slightly awkward to eat without any plates, and I was just catching the crumbs with my hand (didn't have the ramens at the time). Also got a yuzu beer to try and it was delicious, nice yuzu flavor with some tanginess. I had the shoyu with duck while my husband had the yama tonkotsu that came with fragrant black garlic oil. The tonkotsu is not one of those rich, milky, creamy ones and I personally like these lighter ones more. I also enjoyed the shoyu which had a pleasant depth of flavor, but it felt like it was relying too heavily on MSG for umami. Noodles came out chewy. Definitely not the best ramens I've had but are some of the better ones in LA. Our server was friendly, as were the rest of the staff. Service was quick. The restaurant decor feels straight out of Japan, an extra bit of fun. There's a $10 paid lot behind this block of buildings that's convenient for anything in this part of Little Tokyo.
