    This is a lot of meat
    Mike L.

    I'm not yucking anyone's yum, but this is lowkey minimal effort food. Jin ramyun with a slightly more savory flavor and a spoonful of steak should not be $20. I thought they would make a different broth altogether, but it really tastes like Jin ramyun with eggs and whole garlics thrown in the broth. They give you cheap sirloin side cuts cooked to well done; chewy and boring (look at my pictures), there's not much dopamine. There's no seasoning nor sear on the steak either. The creamy broth is just American-style cheese added to their Jin MSG packet broth. I wish they would give more soup, but they're going with the 10x bowl with 1x portion type thing. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted to like this place because all the Yelpers and Googlers do, but I am suspecting they don't cook, is new in town, or just generally young. This is college dorm food priced like a slightly upscale ramen bar. Service is good though, waitiers are friendly and kind. They even ask if we wanted kimchi (which I actually found tasty, very fermented). I miss the old ramen spot that used to be here. I don't like the kpop music videos blasting on the TV, it makes this place feel like a cheap soju bar sans soju.

    I made short work of some Sausage Rice Cake (sodduk sodduk) and Dopamine Kimchi Rice. That Dopamine dish is spicy Korean pork mixed with stir-fried kimchi with egg over rice, and served with jungsik with corn and pepper. The entire food pyramid in one dish, I believe. The service was great, the food came out fast and the servers were friendly-- and that doesn't happen too often (to me)! I'll elaborate- the staff humored me and we had a little conversation about what we were doing that night, etc. The space is nice and bright and clean. I think it's good for small groups. KPop music videos are playing on the monitor and Kpop music is being blasted over the speakers- which is awesome! Parking can be tricky on the weekends but there is free or metered street parking in this part of town. I went on a weekday and was able to snag a spot in the parking lot. It was great. I wish I'd made room for some of the three-pepper spice level ramyuns or some appetizers like popcorn chicken.

    Tried this place on a whim, spice level is a thing that I believe is up to personal taste, and they have a spice level here on the menu. We got the chili oil spicy creamy ramen, and I believe the oppa ramen, the one originally wanted was apparently very spicy so we got this one, but honestly it wasn't very spicy at all. That's why I say, spice is very personal! The chili oil ramen was pretty good, perfectly cheesy and had a nice cheese pull. Broth was good, not too salty. Quick customer service and friendly as well. Can come in and dine in or order to go, saw both happen for even single diners, lots of seating. Very casual place located in a distinct area.

    If you love ramen, Oppa Ramyun in LA's Koreatown is a must-visit They're known for their flavorful ramyun bowls, and I had to try their new Creamy Crab Spicy Ramyun -- rich, creamy, and full of bold crab flavor with just the right amount of heat. It's the kind of bowl that warms you up instantly and keeps you craving another bite But don't stop at the ramen -- their other dishes are just as impressive! The Steak Egg Plate is a sizzling combo of juicy steak with a perfectly runny egg on top, pure comfort on a plate The Oppa Katsu Original comes out golden and crispy, with tender meat inside and that satisfying crunch in every bite For something fun and shareable, the Sausage Rice Cake is a mix of chewy tteokbokki and savory sausage in a sweet-spicy sauce that's seriously addictive And you can't forget the Cheesy Corn -- creamy, melty, and the perfect side to balance all that spice To top it all off, the Spam Ramyun Fried Rice might be one of the best things on the menu -- a comforting fried rice loaded with spam, a hint of spice, and that signature ramyun flavor all mixed together Every dish felt like the perfect mix of homestyle comfort and K-town flair. Oppa Ramyun really knows how to hit every craving -- whether it's spicy, cheesy, or crispy

    Our little foodies approved! Oppa Ramyun in K-Town with its science lab vibe was such a fun New spot. The place is clean, in a convenient location, and easy to visit. The ramen is perfect for those who love chewy noodles--just like my husband, who prefers this style over Japanese ramen. They actually use Jin Ramen noodles here, which gave it that authentic Korean comfort food vibe. Homemade horchata blend--so creamy, just like the one I love at Guisados. It was such a nice surprise! Definitely a must-try! We went a bit early for dinner, but even during our meal, lots of delivery orders were coming in, which shows how popular it already is. I think they'll grow quickly since they seem open to customer feedback. Overall, it's a fun, cozy, and promising spot in K-Town that I'm excited to see succeed!

    Super Creamy Ramyun with steak and egg
    Alex M.

    First time I came to this restaurant in person after ordering from here for a while and it is worth every penny!! This is a little hidden gem in Korea town, very lively set up with plenty of seating space for such a small location and very well decorated. Culture music playing in the background to really immerse you. Special shoutout to Cindy who welcomed us with the biggest smile, was super attentive and joyful and really her energy just made my day. We went for the super creamy ramyun, I had the pork belly and my friend had the steak. The noodles had a great consistency and plenty of them. The broth lived up to its name: thick, creamy, rich. The steak portion was on the smaller side but still tasty. Personally, I preferred the pork belly, it was thinly sliced and easy to eat with the ramen. For my taste, the broth leaned a little too heavy on the creaminess, but that's what I signed up for, I'll just try another style next time. Don't get me wrong, it's still delicious and well-seasoned. Just note: it's not spicy. This one tastes more like a creamy marinara-soup-meets-ramen situation. Different, but still really satisfying. We also split the popcorn chicken to start, and that was a delicious. Crispy, juicy, and the two dipping sauces it came with were fantastic. Highly recommend grabbing it as an appetizer.

    How am I supposed to eat normal ramen after eating here? The ramyun here was so creamy and had such a nice kick that it's impossible to eat elsewhere. The flavors here are also so unique that even if it sounds like it's available elsewhere, the taste is is not. It's fine if you want to grab one of their other dishes, but do NOT waste your opportunity and order something that is not on their ramyun section. I ordered the creamy ramyun oppa special, which was so creamy and warms your entire inside. And it actually gives a kick. It's not as spicy as the spice heads would like, but it's enough to give you an enjoyable kick in every bite. This was the first time I drank all the soup, no leftovers at all. The servers here are also super nice. They were very quick with refills, especially when they saw how much we enjoyed the side dishes. They never stopped despite how much we went through. The decor and design of the place is very cute too. It's not too big so can't do more than maybe 2 big parties at a time as most of the places are placed as bar tops. Otherwise it's a very comfy seating arrangement. I appreciate the wall designs of Donald Duck and McScrooge. A little cute touch for the Disney fans that visit. Even their uniforms match a lab theme, white coats instead of aprons. Love this place

    Im a soup girly and I love a good rich broth. One of the best broths I have ever had it's so rich. Workers are friendly and chatty and fast. Wish I lived in LA to come back next week. Noodles are almost exactly like instant ramen noodles

    Estele K.

    Food 4/5: everything was good except the appetizers. The ramyun tasted on point though. It was the perfect elasticness of noodle and the soup was perfected seasoned. Service 5/5 friendly staff with lab coats. Ambiance 5/5

    Phattharaporn S.

    This is an amazing place for Korean food in Ktown. It's not cheap but the ramyeon and rice dishes are very good. Cheese katsu is unexpectedly the best I've had for a big while, although they said they don't have it everyday. Steak & egg is very good both ramyeon and rice plate. Parking is valet and it's $3-5 I don't remember exactly. Friendly servers.

    Interior

    This seems to be a new up and coming restaurant in the heart of KTown that specializes in the science of ramyun! The staff were friendly and wearing lab coats which was a fun spin on ramen science. When I had a mix-up on my order, they fixed it easily! The interior was also cute. If you like chewy al dente ramen this place is for you. I personally prefer mine completely cooked and soft but that's a personal preference. They didn't have too many vegetarian/pescatarian options (I was looking forward to the tuna kimchi bowl which they no longer have). It seems like the menu changes as they're still finding the groove of their place. I enjoyed it and especially want them to succeed!

    Oppa Ramyun delivers authentic flavor with a fun K-pop vibe. The Steak & Egg Ramyun was hearty and comforting, while the Seafood Whole-Shabang Ramyun came loaded with fresh flavors, spice, and generous portions. Service is quick, the space is clean, and the music ties the culture together--an easy go-to spot for ramen lovers.

    Came here for lunch with a group of friends and they all love it! The price is not expensive for ramen and a lot of different choices. We ordered ramen and rice bowl and they are all good. The service was good even thought there were a lot of people at lunch time.

As we walked to our outdoor table, my husband and friend heard three workers talking crap about me and complaining that I shouldn't even be eating there because everything had shellfish. Let's be honest it's not that hard to accommodate, plus we're giving you our business so what's the problem? Rude all the way through table service, then when we were all finished, we had barely just paid and we were finishing our drinks when the same three workers rushed into our table to clear everything out and pushed us out of our table.

All the workers answered my questions and even as the dinner rush came in, I never felt like I was pressured to hurry up. Huge kudos to them for this. There are lots of places to get ramen in Little Tokyo and I have my go to places, but now that so many other ramen places are popping up in the 626, the daunting task of driving to DTLA and finding parking have also factored into my decision to wander out. But as a J-fashion and anime fan, I'm just constantly thrown back into the Little Tokyo vortex. For this recent visit, I remember my friend hyping up the Anaheim Rakkan Ramen, so I thought why not? Came a bit later into the dinner rush, around 6-something PM and was seated immediately as a solo diner on a Friday night. It started to get a bit busier around the time I was finishing up. Seating is a bit tight inside with a couple of tables, counter bar seating, but they do have outdoors seating as well. Food came out efficiently and super piping hot. For my dinner, I got the: 1) Coffee Jelly: -One of my favorite, comforting Japanese desserts. If a bakery has it, I'll order it, and I felt a bit indulgent so I ordered it then. Staff asked if I wanted to have it at the end or just have it come out ASAP. I said ASAP and it was a good palate cleanser between the savory and sweet so I didn't get tired of the flavor. Not a super huge amount of coffee jelly (but makes sense since this is a restaurant and not a to go ordering counter at a bakery), but it was silky and had a good coffee flavor to it. You get a small "shot" of heavy cream milk to mix in and you can control how sweet you want it. Not bad. 2) Ramen Sushi Combo (Spicy Quartz Ramen + Aburi Salmon): -This comes with any signature ramen and any 2 pieces of sushi (extra fee for any upgrades) -I got their spicy quartz ramen, which is their creamy miso broth ramen made with your choice of chicken or pork chashu (I got pork), crispy fried garlic, seasoned egg, fried broccolini, and 2 pieces of nori. -There's LOTS of crispy fried garlic pieces in it. Every bite has a slight garlic after taste and it's nice to add a bit of crunchy texture to the ramen. -The broccolini is unique, I don't think I've ever had that with a ramen before and it's nice to have some greens too. - It's a seasoned egg, not a soft boiled egg, so don't expect that. It's not hard boiled all the way, but the flavor wasn't super strong for the egg. Not bad, but not the best. -The noodles are thicker egg noodles that had a nice chew and texture to it. However, the broth flavor wasn't that strong to me? If that makes sense. You get a good taste of creamy miso and a very slight kick, but I felt like the 2 small pieces of chashu and noodles didn't really take the flavor of the broth that well. Maybe I should have left my bowl of ramen soaking longer to get a better taste profile? Who knows. 3) Aburi Salmon (2 pieces): -I chose this with my combo and it doesn't incur an extra free. It's a seared salmon with mayo on top. -Not bad. Can never go wrong with aburi salmon. It's comparable to what you can get from Kura. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing or maybe my taste buds have been blasted by ramen spots with heavier, flavor intensive broths like Tenkaippin and Nagi. I don't mind going if someone else invites me and hopefully it's a better experience.

I remember going here during their grand opening ages ago, did their, back then, super cheap deal with unlimited noodle refill (even further discounted due to the special event day) and eating to the point of barely being able to sit up in the car without throwing up. I have a picture of my brother eating here in middle school with us and then later on in his early 20's. Crazy time lapse, and truly shows what a favorite this place is and it's place in the community. As with all businesses in Little Tokyo, parking can suck (not as bad as K-town, but you're either paying or super circling around). Service is super efficient, welcoming and polite, as with their other locations as well. It's not the biggest restaurant, but none of the Shinsengumis I've been to have been particularly large. With this location, from my first visit, and all the subsequent visits, I always get their Hakata ramen, firmer noodles, since the longer I eat and enjoy the food, they'll soften a bit, less soup oil and less saltiness. I get all of the toppings that it comes with and I always add in a poached egg. Love the strong pork flavor since they stew their broth for so long and the tenderness of the chashu (sometimes I order more). Prices have definitely gone up and a slightly altered upgraded version of this ramen is almost $30 if you're not careful enough. Times have changed but how good this place hasn't. There's more ramen options now than there were like 10 years ago, but Shinsengumi is always a classic.

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.

    Tasty ramen and tsukemen! I was in the area looking for something hearty and this hit just the…read morespot. We ordered a tonkatsu ramen and a tsukemen which had a choice of cold or hot noodles We did a hot noodle and both dishes were tasty! The tonkatau wasn't overly heavy but just enough to not be bland either which was perfect for my taste Interior was clean and service was awesome. We came on a Sunday early afternoon so we didn't have to wait. Parking is unfortunately just street parking but there's also a lot nearby if you're willing to pay. This place was also dog friendly and my small Maltese was allowed to sit with us even though there was no outdoor dining

    PREMISE: I went to this location on a Wednesday evening at approximately 5PM for a party of two…read more WAIT TIME: We got seated right away! There was not anyone at the restaurant at the time, but people did start trickling in as more time elapsed. We got our food relatively quickly as well. FOOD: I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen ($23.45), which is their dipping noodle. The noodles are thicker than standard ramen, but in a good way! It comes with thick chashu (thick, fatty pork) slices and soft boiled eggs. If you haven't had tsukemen before, you essentially dip your noodles into the broth and then eat it that way. The broth is extremely flavorful and there are also pieces of chashu in it as well. The only critique that I have regarding this is the broth was lukewarm which made the dish taste slightly off. I've tried this dish at another branch and the broth was also lukewarm there, so I'm not sure if this is a location issue or a standard amongst all branches. Also, this dish does not really have any vegetables in this, but I also don't know if traditional tsukemen has veggies included. SERVICE: Service was quick and everyone was nice and doing their job. Didn't seem like the staff was slacking or messing around while there weren't many customers. They were very attentive to us, refilling our water immediately once they saw it was getting low, and being very attentive towards if we had any other concerns or if we needed anything else. PARKING: There technically is street parking but since it's in Little Tokyo, it's going to be very difficult to find it. There's $4-6 valet parking available nearby the location. There are a lot of people walking around though so just be safe. INTERIOR: It's not too big of a place but it's also not too small as well. It looks very well kept and clean. BATHROOM: Two gender neutral bathroom stalls that are both very clean and accessible. No issues here with them. TLDR: Overall, I thought the place was pretty good to eat at! I would definitely come back for the tsukemen (as long as the broth is warmed up until it's hot). A very good dish combined with great music (they have some great Japanese music variety) is definitely a spot worth coming to with friends !! :))
