What a gem!!! The flavor and depth of their broth makes the word comfort to another level. On point and no BS. Trips to Gardena, Torrance and Sawtelle is really shrinking thanks to ramen places like this. With no reservations, we got in there and sat right away - got lucky!! The service was great even though they were just two of them. Great job handling every hungry happy customers! Inside has a warm modern vibe. Normally, ramen places has a special scent mixed of steamed broth and fried food. I'm impressed! Great ventilation - trust me, you would want to be isolated with your specialty dish. Enjoy! Plenty of parking here. read more

This place is ok. The atmosphere is lively but the ramen itself is "mid": we ordered the soft boiled egg (pictured correctly to be soft inside and marinated) and both were not flavorful and the yolk was cooked all the way through. The beef in the ox shoyu was soft and the chicken in the chicken miso ramen was also flavorful. My complaint about the broth in general is that it is salty, but honestly most ramen places are like that. To me the broth was more of a dipping sauce than soup, I found it too salty to drink directly. Service: I had wanted to order the vegetarian ramen for the toppings and sub the vegetarian broth for the beef but "no substitutions allowed" which I think is kind of ridiculous because ramen is literally put together with broth, noodles, and toppings. It is dead simple to make a substitution of broth but...oh well. The nice touch was the small Japanese chocolate wafer given with the bill. read more

Phenomenal!!! You must must must try this place!!! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is beyond delicious, it's truly authentic and rivaled much of what I've had throughout the country. The karrage was on point, my mom couldn't stop eating it! Their ramen was well crafted, and portions are excellent. The place is small but well decorated and gives you that feeling of a more big city Japanese restaurant. We will absolutely be back! read more

One of the best AND most unique takes on ramen I have ever had! Their signature ramen is incredible, and their other options are also fantastic. The servers are also very polite and helpful. Cozy vibes inside with the cutest ornate box they give you the check in. No idea why I didn't review this place years ago! It's a must try! read more

Nice quiet place, decorated in style. They weren't busy but the two waitresses were friendly and bubbly. One was helpful in describing the differences in the menu items. I tried one of their beef marrow broth from Oxtails with brisket and it was delicious. Started with the noodles which were hot and tender. Great flavor. As I made room to use the spoon, grabbing a piece of brisket with the noodles and other ingredients was quite fulfilling. Brisket tasted very good. Very reasonable prices and I'll definitely try here again. read more

Ox Bone Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Westlake Village, California

Right off the bat a very cozy and stylish joint with lovely ambiance. The chalkboard wall with a handwritten ramen menu is a very endearing touch to the decor. Me and my partner were very satisfied with our orders--he got the oxtail ramen and I believe I got the birria one. The meats from both dishes were very melt-in-your mouth divine. I have to say that no matter where else I try birria ramen, I'm always chasing the high of this specific restaurant's birria ramen! They absolutely nailed it here. A lot of the time I have extra room for dessert but me and my partner were so stuffed with how generous the portions were that we forwent it this time around. Very well worth your money and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Food was tasty and full of color and texture. There was a bit of fusion happening as not everything was true japanese, but no point deduction for that because it was all great. Highlights included the spicy tuna crispy rice and the chicken Bao Bun. Staff was super nice. Cute place in Westlake Village. It has the vibe of a third wave coffee shop with the blackboard wall and cute light fixtures. Plenty of parking and close enough to the freeway to make it easy to get to. read more

On a scale of 1 - 10, I give this place an eleventeen!! The atmosphere is cozy and the menu has quite a variety to choose from. The Ox Fire ramen was very filling, especially after a round of delicious Takoyaki. Next time i'll have to try the Birria Ramen. Looks different and unique, but also something I'd crave to come back for. Going to finish off dinner with some mochi ice cream for dessert. Definitely coming back! read more

Ox Bone Ramen - OX FIRE - Ramen Near Me - Westlake Village, California

First timer! The staff were very friendly and attentive, we came in during Happy Hour. With our ramen purchase we were able to make a combo with the Spicy Tuna Appetizer. I had the Spicy Nagoya - I would give it a 3.5/5. I substituted pork meat for brisket. Although the it was good, I was expecting it to be more flavorful. I wasn't spicy at all in my opinion. Although I will say, immediately after eating the ramen - I'm not sure if it was this or the spicy tuna on crispy rice - but my stomach went into instant cramping & you can guess the rest. I'm not sure if it's a certain spice or ingredient, but my stomach was not happy and still isn't. I was bummed because I didn't even get to leave the restaurant before not feeling good. My friend had the Ox Shoyu - she rated it a 4/5. Our favorite was the appetizer - the small octopus were delicious and the sauce on it was sooo good! 5/5 for those! Spicy Tuna Appetizer - 3/5, the spicy tuna didn't have much flavor, almost looked fake to me with the color it was. Hope this helps :) read more

Found this place while we were in the area and looking for a dinner spot. The restaurant is rustic and really loved the overall vibe of the place. Everything down to the utensils were thought of in detail. Ramen broth flavor wise is different compared to your regular ramen spot because they use beef broth and it's more apparent if you order the ox bone ramen broth. I ordered the spicy one and the broth is masked by the spicy flavor. I don't mind it but if you're a pork ramen broth purist you might not like it that much but it's worth the try. Not a huge fan of the actual ramen noodle used but I really loved the ox bone flavor soup. Service was efficient and they were attentive. read more

Ox Bone Ramen is an absolute gem of a spot hidden in Westlake Village. From the chill ambiance made for dining in to the unique menu of dipping noodles, ramen, rolls, and bao buns, it is a blessing to have discovered this charming shop on Instagram! One thing I have been told by some is to be cautious of fusion dishes, but you can't have a reward without any risks, wouldn't you agree? And the reward was bountiful! I am talking about the Birria Ramen! Bold spices that enhance the flavor! Juicy and tender beef brisket! All accompanied by springy noodles with their very own flavor! Ox Bone also has a variety of Japanese beer, sake, and wine to choose from to pair with the dish of your choice from their unique menu. Or to just have on its own. My personal favorite beer is the Echigo Koshihikari for its smooth taste. At the pinnacle of the dessert menu is their vibrant Green Tea Banana Pudding, however, the Coconut Premium Rice Pudding rose the bar for how rich and subtle the flavor was. This is as close as you can get to an authentic Japanese dessert! Balanced, creamy and nothing overbearing! Ox Bone manager, Yukie, and crew member Habibi are so attentive and accommodating! They make you feel welcomed! Both make sure guests are well taken care of without smothering them, and they are aware that the experience is what also makes the visit worth it. I, myself, have more to experience at Ox Bone and I am all for it! It isn't about the size. It's about the quality the size brings. And Ox Bone brings it! Don't forget to look for and follow Ox Bone Ramen on Instagram! Looking forward! Domo arigato gozaimasu Yukie and the entire crew at Ox Bone! See you all soon! read more

Ox Bone is definitely one of my favorite spots to grab soup!! The ambiance is casual and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a comforting bowl of ramen, whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. I started off with the chili beef pot stickers, which were steamed, tender, and nicely seasoned - an excellent appetizer! I also tried their beef brisket "mini bowl", which paired perfectly with my ramen. Now for the main event: I always get the Hot N Spicy Miso Chicken, but the Ox Fire Miso in beef broth is a very close second. Both ramens are fantastic! The broth is unique - not your traditional ramen, but I appreciate the modern take and the thoughtful toppings. It's also so much closer than hauling myself all the way to Sawtelle for authentic Japanese ramen. Service was attentive, and my ramen came out quickly. The servers were always nearby if I needed anything. Overall, Ox Bone Ramen is a must-try and I'll definitely be coming back, especially as the weather starts cooling down or the next time I'm hungover... whichever comes first! I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend! read more

Rainy day, ramen yes!!! Stopped at Ox bone for a warm bowl of ramen on a rainy day and found a unique Kraft ramen house. The space is small but mighty putting out some fantastic dishes likes the soft shell crab bao bun and the Japanese fried chicken to the unique bowls of ramen. While nerding out recently I found out that different regions of Japan have different varieties of ramen and OxBone has that uniqueness to creat their own variety. I got the spicy Nagoya which had spice ground pork, loads of fresh chopped veggies and a spicy broth to warm the soul! All in a great meal read more

Been a few years since I first tried ox bone when they were new and at the time I wasn't a fan. Got their ad for birria ramen coupled with some friends posting their recent visit had me curious enough to go. My wife and I were seated immediately as we arrived right at opening. The interior is nice and the facilities are clean which is always a plus. We ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice, the spicy Nagoya ramen and the birria ramen. The service was polite and the food came out shortly so no complaints on their process but unfortunately the ramen fell short. The beef in my ramen was literally half fat; as in one piece of fat and one piece of beef. The beef itself had a dryness that pierced through the flavors of the broth and the fat was unpleasantly chewy. The broth was birria-ish which isn't bad but I was forcing myself to finish the noodles. I think the noodle texture is actually quite good so they have that going for them. The spicy Nagoya was ok and on the medium light side but at that price point it's hard to justify. The spicy tuna crispy rice was very good so at least we had a nice appetizer but it came with just 4 pieces. The whole meal came out to just over $53 which stung but in this economy you can't expect much better. A mixed bag experience that leans more negative so I won't be recommending this place. read more

This place was delicious!!! The boa and the ramen broth were soooo good. I wasn't a big fan of the egg because of what the marinate it in, it is a little over powering. I did pick up the food so I didn't get to experience the restaurant or service. The food was very delicious and the meat was super tender. Highly recommend this place, I will definitely be ordering again when I come back to town. read more

Ox Bone Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Westlake Village, California

We've been regulars at Ox Bone Ramen for about two years now, and every single visit has been divine. What makes this spot so special is the "choose your own adventure" vibe, you can go tapas-style with their appetizers (which never miss) or settle into one of their hearty, flavorful entrées. Either way, you're in for a treat. By far, the standout is the spicy tuna on crispy rice, the rice literally melts in your mouth, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. Their ramen, fried chicken, and small plates are just as incredible, making it hard to pick a favorite. The atmosphere deserves just as much love. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great dining experience. We're moving soon, so sadly we won't be able to stop by as often. But this is the kind of place we'll happily drive out of our way to visit once in a blue moon because it's that good. Highly recommend to anyone in the area you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is a gem. I wanted ramen for my birthday so after a bit of research, we landed on Ox Bone Ramen. I got the miso chicken ramen- it was delicious. The broth was flavorful. The chicken was tender and the add on ingredients were fresh. We also got the teriyaki chicken bowl- the teriyaki flavor was a bit subtle but overall, super delicious. The ajitama eggs are also on point! The server was also super friendly and courteous and the space is cozy read more

Their Ox Fire Miso ramen, although untraditional, is sooo freakin' good! I LOVE that they use juicy pulled beef brisket instead of the usual fatty pork belly. It can be a little too spicy for me, so I order an extra side of non-spicy miso broth to tame the heat down. They do include a TON of toppings that I feel distracts from the delicious base of broth/noodles/meat so I order it with arugula and corn only. Do yourself a favor and order their "E+ Summer Roll"! It comes with this smokey, creamy, tangy dipping sauce that is chef's kiss! Get one! read more

Actually... it was very very good even though it was takeout for me. I had the Curry Dip Chicken Ramen not knowing what to order from menu. Portions were large so that I only ate half and had the other half later. Second half was even better because it sat for a day. Crispy Shrimp wasn't crispy at home ( understan) but never the less was tasty. Ambiance while waiting was warm and music was low so you can talk and hear each other. Servers were polite and cheerful and seemed like they loved their jobs. I've never ordered ramen before but the broth was so deep and flavorful that I think I'm addicted to it now. Definitely a great addition to our area restaurants. read more

Food here is amazing! Every time it's the same awesome quality. Service is quick and they have great options for kids.

Delish ramen! I've been here twice and both times the food was great. The presentation of their dishes are very unique. The toppings are fresh! I've had the ox spicy miso and regular and both were yummy. The spicy was SPICY and I like spice. We had the baby octopus for an appetizer and they were great. The food has been consistent both times I've been. The flavors and toppings are unique. I love this place when I'm in the mood for ramen! read more

Absolutely delicious! There are so many things on the menu I'm going to try. I went with the Ox Miso and holy cow, what flavor. The broth is rich and complex. I do wish there was more brisket - it was a bit sparse, but I got egg with it so there was enough protein. I might order double meat next time if that's an option. read more

First time here, pick up experience was perfect. Everything was prepared well and on time. Kind, quick service. At a glance the inside was nice dark ambiance. The Japanese Fried Chicken was one my favorite things, it came with 6 juicy boneless pieces. I also loved the coconut rice pudding. I ordered the Ox Fire Miso the broth was good, this ramen it was okay i'd try a different one next time based off preference. It would be a better experience with the ramen if you eat it fresh inside the restaurant. I would return here to try different meals and I appreciate reliable pick up. read more

I'm not usually conflicted about anything really, certainly not a meal. But I was conflicted after having lunch here recently. As I always do before trying out a place for the first time, I consult Yelp reviews. This place has lots of 5 star reviews. Ok, great! The inside is thoughtfully decorated. It has an urban feeling to it. Waitress was great. Friendly. Helpful. Efficient. 5 stars for her. We had the eggplant appetizer, a pulled pork sushi roll, salmon salad and Ox Brisket ramen. The food is the source of my confliction. You can see that it is fresh. You can see that it is artfully made. You can see that ingredients are high quality... but it all tasted flat. My eyes told my taste buds that they were in for a treat, but the food was... bland. Apparently, the spicy ramen is their most popular. I can see why. My ramen didn't have much taste, until I mixed in enough spicy chili oil. It also did not have much broth. The eggplant was between ok and good. The pulled pork sushi roll was not good. Very dense and bland. Spicy tuna salad was good. I am not a ramen sophisticate, but I know when a dish is well seasoned. Unfortunately, for my tastes, the food here isn't pleasing. read more
