    Not bad ramen shop in Cheongdam Food Hall offering *almost* 50% deal on their ramen and bogo on sushi. * tonkotsu ramen (4/5) - standard, slightly lean meat but great $10 value w the soft opening deal Our server was super sweet and accommodating. I'd probably try their specialty spicy ramen next time.

    tonkatsu ramen

    Most generic, perhaps even bland, tonkatsu broth is have ever had. Everything else at the restaurant, including the service and the price, was wonderful.

    Well this is a small hole on the wall place next to Neko sushi and Neko supreme. Kinda confusing at first. Saw a sign that said Neko ramen. And kept waking back and forward a few. Then stopped at the sign that said Eki ramen. Then the guy came outside and said don't be shy and come on in. When I asked he said it's Neko but listed as Eki. Ok whatever I wanted to try. So ordered a few dishes. And a bunch of inari as I wanted to see what it was about. It was a happy hour special so it was 1.99 a piece Wanted to warm up a bit with some soup. It is 55 degrees outside. And it felt like 60 inside. Food got cold really fast. Like come on guys. Can we turn the heater on? They have a microwave on the side counter. Wonder if I could have just heated up my food myself. Lol Handroll wasn't made like the traditional hand rolls see have been accustomed too. If you look at my pics it looks like a square piece of seaweed folded on half like a taco and put inside the holder. Now this doesn't change the overall taste of it (which was good by the way) but some inconvenience for some. See I didn't eat it right away as I was eating my ramen. So by the time I got to the handroll (5 mins later) the seaweed was soggy and sticking to the wooden holder and fell apart. I just scooped it out onto a plate and ate it with my chopsticks. Inari actually exceeded my expectations. It was overstuffed and lots of toppings. Double the size you would normally get at an ayce location. I recommend the creamy lobster. And eel. For some reason they ran out of anything salmon. Kinda weird. Wonder why they just didn't go get some from there ayce sushi stores literally nextdoor lol. Just saying. Lots of improvements could have been done yes. But overall experience of the food taste and flavor is good. Side note. I asked about doing a yelp check in and he mentioned the free dessert. So I did it on front of him and he showed me which one to pick (Eki ramen) and done. Yet he still didn't bring me anything. It is what it is. Jist payed our bill and left. Wasn't a deal breaker for me

    Great food amazing service

    Honestly, for a Saturday night... this place is amazing! Cheap ramen and BOGO on appetizers! We were immediately seated and the staff was joking and laughing with us! It's like a little escape to Japan the decor is amazing!! You are really missing out if you don't try this spot!!

    Snowflake Gyoza
    Chelsie R.

    It's been a while since we had GOOD ramen... and this place is now added to our TOP list. Service was great no complaints. This place is small but we were seated quickly. Our food came out pretty quick after ordering. OMG. The broth was delicious- after tasting the broth I knew it was gonna be good! Definitely lives up to the name "Umami" black garlic. The ratio of each item was perfect- nothing over powered anything! The meat was good too. I haven't had GOOD ramen in a while and thiiiiis was a hit! Lol. Husband enjoyed his ramen- it wasnt as spicy as he wanted it to be but he agrees with everything I said (Good Hubs) The crispy rice was good, nothing special. Husband thought rice was a little too crispy. The snowflake gyoza was good loved the texture and the dipping sauce that came with it was good! Overall, definitely on our list! Definitely a spot to try!

    I love how cute this spot is! Eki Ramen has such a warm and cozy aesthetic that makes you want to stay a while. The ramen I had was delicious -- loaded with noodles and topped with a whole chicken thigh that was full of flavor and soaked up the rich broth perfectly. I also really liked that the noodles were a little thicker, which gave the ramen even more bite. Their snowflake gyoza was crispy and tasty, and I loved the added touch of their banchan and cupbaps to-go. The cupbaps are super convenient since you can just microwave them at home. Service here is also amazing -- the staff is so kind, friendly, and quick, always serving with warm smiles. Overall, I'd definitely come back here for both the food and the vibes!

    Spicy Volcano Ramen

    Food is awesome! I had the Spicy Volcano Ramen and it's an eruption of great flavor! Plus Febe, the lady server, was very accommodating and helpful!

    House special ramen
    Rebecca L.

    When we first stepped in, our waiter greeted us warmly and we immediately got seated. Japanese music was playing and the ambiance was pretty casual. They also have a special going on where some items are half off. I got their house special ramen and it tasted amazing. The broth was delicious and the ramen noodles were the right consistency. I can't wait to come here again.

    Jumbo chicken Ramen!
    Candyce S.

    Took my family to eat here and let's just say we ALL finished every single bite!! Definitely delicious!!!

    New menu as of 12/20/2025

    I really wanted to keep supporting this place, but the constant menu changes have finally lost me. I miss the original Neko Ramen menu from when they first opened. With all my favorites now removed, there just isn't enough left on the menu to warrant a return visit. Great service can't make up for the loss of the food that made me a regular in the first place. Please bring back the addictive cucumbers at the bare minimum! If you really want to get us back as loyal "day one" customers, bring back that original menu with the hand rolls and the creamy chicken ramen. Until then, we'll be looking for a new go-to spot.

    If you're searching for a ramen spot that delivers comfort, creativity, and bold flavors all in one place, Eki Ramen is absolutely worth checking out. I recently stopped by and tried a selection of their standout dishes--and honestly, everything was delicious. I started with the Spicy Volcano Ramen, and this bowl immediately set the tone. The broth is rich, deeply flavored, and brings the perfect amount of heat that builds gradually. Paired with bouncy noodles and hearty toppings, it's the kind of ramen that leaves a lasting impression for spice lovers. Next up was the Whole Chicken Thigh Ramen, which was incredibly satisfying in a completely different way. The chicken thigh was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the broth had this warm, savory richness that felt both clean and comforting. Simple ingredients, executed beautifully. For something a bit indulgent, the Lobster Toast was definitely a highlight--crispy, buttery, and generously topped with lobster. The Lobster Roll was fresh and well-balanced, with a soft, toasted bun that tied everything together. And of course, the Bulgogi Fries were impossible to resist: crispy fries loaded with sweet-savory bulgogi and just the right drizzle of sauce. Overall, every dish I tried was genuinely delicious. With great service and a menu that's both comforting and fun to explore, Eki Ramen is definitely a spot I'll be returning to soon.

    Chicken karage
    Katie D.

    Incredibly cute and delicious ramen shop in Chinatown. Eki Ramen is styled after traditional quick but delicious ramen in Japanese train stations and the vibe inside is so well done. Service was excellent as well and everyone was very friendly and prompt. I got the original ramen which was genuinely the best ramen and broth I've had yet. I'm not normally one to go crazy for ramen but I am currently losing it over this broth. Most of the menu is also half off or buy one get one (in the case of some appetizers). This spot is so affordable with incredible food. My ramen was only ~$10 and the chicken karage (excellent fry) was ~$7. There is a parking garage as the outside parking fills up quickly. I'm excited to make Eki part of my rotation this weekend.

When we first went inside the restaurant, we noticed that there was plenty of open tables and booth seating available. A team member provided us waters and the menu. Ramen Tatsu has a wide range of options on their menus Rice & Bowls: Katsu Curry, Beef Bowl, Fried Rice, Chasiu Bowl Side Dishes: Gyoza, Karaage, Takoyaki and more! Ramen: Spicy Miso, Tonkotsu Shoyu, Shio, Veggie, Chicken Paitan and more! For an appetizer, my husband and I split the Gyoza. It was good. For an entrée, I ended up ordering the beef bulgogi, and it was excellent. The beef was super flavorful, tender, and cooked really well! It was a perfect sweet and savory balance you want from bulgogi! My husband went with one of the ramen bowls, and it looked amazing too! The broth smelled rich and comforting, and from what he said, the flavor definitely delivered! The service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly, attentive, and welcoming! The food also came out pretty quickly too! Ramen Tatsu ended up being a great dinner stop. Delicious food, fantastic service, and an amazing atmosphere. I'd stop by here again for a ramen bowl!

The takoyaki had a nice crisp to it; they seem on the smaller side, and there could've been a little more filling. I got the tonkatsu shoyu, and it was okay. The broth was a little bland the first few bites but then got a little too salty. The pork was tender but didn't have a lot of flavor. I added an egg, but it was overcooked, so that was disappointing.

Fortunately, the wait was only about 10 minutes, which was surprisingly quick. I ordered the soft-shell crab, baked green mussels, and BBQ ribs with steamed rice. My son ordered the yoshu ramen and fried rice. The food came out fairly quickly, but I noticed that the baked mussels never arrived. When I asked our waitress about it, she said the kitchen was backed up. However, after waiting more than 30 minutes and already finishing the rest of our meal, it felt like the order may have simply been forgotten. What disappointed me most was the lack of an apology. The waitress even asked if I still wanted the mussels at that point. I was ready to cancel the order, but Kyo stepped in and tried to make things right. Thanks to his efforts, the mussels arrived about 10 minutes later. Unfortunately, when the mussels finally arrived, I was disappointed again. They were prepared very differently from the baked green mussels I'm used to getting at restaurants in Los Angeles. They were quite spicy, which wasn't mentioned, and the flavor just wasn't what I expected. After waiting more than 40 minutes for them, they definitely weren't worth the wait. Overall, the food was decent, and the restaurant was busy and energetic, but the service mishap and the disappointing mussels left me with mixed feelings about the experience. I do appreciate Kyo's effort to make things right, as he was the one bright spot in an otherwise frustrating situation.
