    My first time to Rakkan Ramen and it was Rakkan! We went for DineLA restaurant week menu and it was an incredible deal! The spicy cucumbers were good but they are cut pretty thick, wish they were cut slimmer but they were tasty! The hand rolls were really good. I had the spicy salmon and the scallop which were tasty. The ramen came out and by that time I was already getting full so I ate as much as I could. The spicy was definitely a low medium I'd say so if you want a little kick but not the super spicy, get the regular spicy level and it should work out. The coffee dessert was interesting. We all got it instead of half getting the coffee dessert and the other half getting the mochi haha. I'm sure the dessert is loved by a lot of folks but we just didn't care for it. The service was good and friendly. Inside dining area was relaxing and comfortable vibe.

    RAKKAN Ramen absolutely knocked it out of the park. Went on a rainy night with my family and it was perfect timing. The place felt cozy the second we walked in. Steam rising from the pots, broths boiling, warmth moving through the whole restaurant while it poured outside. It just hit. Now the ramen. Damn. Some of the best broth I have ever had. Deep, rich, and insanely flavorful. Shrimpy and garlicky in the best way, with layers that make you stop after the first sip because you know this is the real deal. You can tell real care goes into it. Service was quick and easy, but the food is the real star. Comforting, bold, and straight up delicious. This is the kind of spot you crave on a cold or rainy night, or honestly any night when you want something that hits. We will definitely be back.

    Rakkan orginated in Tokyo, so I was eager to try. I called Rakkan on Tuesday, 12/30/25 to confirm they were open on New Year's Day and checked their website, which also stated normal operating hours. Both were incorrect. I checked Google on the 1st and it said they opened at 3, which was indeed correct when I arrived at the restaurant. The Quartz Spicy Ramen egg was cold, but the broth and lean chicken helped redeem previous issues. I ordered Chashu on the side for more protein and it was the right choice. The bowl is made with a vegetable broth, so it was way lighter than Tonkotsu. I think the star of the show was the small Karaage that came with a "buffalo sauce". That combination was extremely delicious! Lastly, Valeriia did a great job as hostess and waitress!

    Came here to do the dine LA. It was $35 person and it comes with a 4 course meal & drinks! You get an appetizer, 2 hand rolls, ramen, & dessert! For the appetizer we got the edamame and spicy cucumber. Both excellent. The hand rolls I got a spicy salmon avocado, salad, green, and California hand roll. The spicy avocado was a 7/10, salad was a 6/10, green was a 6/10, California was a 8/10. I feel the there was more rice than the toppings it was suppose to have. Still overall pretty good! As for the ramen I got the quartz mild and honestly I can say I've had way better ramen. I'd rate their ramen a 6/10. I've came here before, maybe 3 years ago and their ramen was pretty good! But as of last night it was ehhhh. Desserts were both a 10/10. Tokyo drift that came with coffee jelly & coconut milk, and the matcha mochi ice cream! Service- they were fast with the food! Friendly as welll. Ambiance, lots of seating inside.

    It was very busy, but the wait time wasn't too bad. The service is fast, kind, and professional. I ordered the Furikake fries and takoyaki as an appetizer. I've had better fries; they were low-key mid. I really enjoyed the takoyaki. The creamy quartz ramen was sooo delicious! Hands down, one of the best ramen broths I've ever had. I'll definitely be back.

    Second visit on a Sunday: 2/10 Experience  GARNET clearly missing pork in bowl
    Lexie A.

    Very disappointed to be writing this review because the first time I visited it was an AMAZING experience. The food itself was amazing no complaints. We got the Garnet and Quartz extra spicy. We also got the Karaage chicken appetizer that was to dieeee for!! Unfortunately though, my Garnet was missing the pork that comes in the ramen and I didn't notice until I was already home.. Very unfortunate and careless. Besides that our server was nice don't get me wrong but not attentive at all. She took our order and was very nice but after that it's like she forgot about us and would pass by us multiple times like she wasn't our server at all. We tried to get her attention multiple times but it didn't work out. We had asked her for waters for the table and they never came until we had to ask a guy behind the counter. We didn't get our waters until the end of our meal. It was so hard to get any help. We also asked for garlic for the ramen multiple times and never got it until we were already finished with our food. So disappointing.. Overall it just seemed like we were being ignored and not helped at all. I really enjoy the ramen here all the food is amazing and I would recommend to others if the service would improve. The service is a huge part of the experience not just the food. Maybe 2 servers should be working on a busy Sunday and not just 1...

    Vegan Ramen now at a new (to us) location! The ramen is super savory and amazing for what we were looking for -- a restaurant that is yummy and good with veggies. We asked for an outdoor seating, and while the bar next door was a bit loud, it was great eating and enjoying the ramen while watching the bar hoppers with our dogs. Definitely will be coming around again when we are in the area!

    I was too hungry I forgot to take a pic of the food lol! Service was amazing and made the experience better! Went on 6/3/25, a Tuesday, and it was a bit busy. However we got sat almost right away:) The portions were a bit small compared to what I'm used to at my go to ramen spot but the flavor makes up for it! I love ramen so any ramen spot I go to gets a thumbs up from me!

    Service Riley (spelling) was outstanding!!! Riley was engaging and attentive, calm even through a Busy late night dinner rush. Ambience was nice and chill -- sitting in a booth I had definitely forgot how full the space was. ALSO, each employee worked together as a team, seamlessly. Food came out quickly and fresh - apps & entrees all nice and hot - just what we were hoping for after a long, rainy day at Disneyland. Check this place out for sure next time you're looking for a late dinner!!! Thank you guys again!!!

    SPICY GARNET Vegan

    i hadn't been here in a while but i'm happy to report that their quality remains almost as good as when they first opened i got the spicy garnet vegan - which i thought it came with tofu bc the picture is misleading. i got tofu on the side to add and it was only a dollar to do so. the broth was so good! i also got sushi combo so i got salmon nigiri. salmon was very pale pink - which was odd bc i'm so used to seeing bright orange in salmon. the fish tasted fresh but the rice was all wrong im also realizing that it's not such a great deal to get this bc the nigiri is like 4.50 (as the ramen is 18) - the combo is 22.50.. so it's a regular/competitive price for nigiri at other places. would recommend getting sushi somewhere else. they were playing some awful top 40 trash music which was whatever and ruined my vibe. service was slow but everyone was very nice.

    We came for a late lunch and even though it wasn't busy, the service was a bit slow but still very nice. I actually had the Dine LA deal for lunch and the deal was super solid! You get edamame, hand roll, ramen, dessert plus drink for only $35! Overall a solid deal and everything was flavorful. My only dings were that I wished the roll had crispier seaweed since it got chewy and the tokyo drip was more on the bitter end with the coffee. But everything else was great!

    Bruh!!!!! That was fire. The best Ramen i've tasted period. Well done Chef!! Great location and ambiance is amazing as well as the staff.

    I would say this is above average ramen. I think the broth is seasoned well and the noodles are prepared nicely but the chicken topping is super weird. It's SUPER chewy, almost hard and difficult to bite/break off. I almost thought it was uncooked by its texture but it was indeed cooked. I took one bite of one piece and couldn't eat the rest of the chicken slides. Aside from the chicken being weird, I would say the ramen itself was pretty good. Service was prompt and simple. They are quick to remove your dish when you're done and refill your water when it's empty without asking. Parking can be difficult due to the location but it's not terribly difficult to find street parking especially on a weekday.

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!

As soon as I sat down, I was informed that a mandatory 7% "service charge" would be added to the final bill. When I asked what this charge was actually for, I didn't get a straight answer. I then asked if I could opt out of the fee, and they flat out told me, "Oh no, we don't allow that anymore." The staff completely washed their hands of the forced overcharge. The reality is that this restaurant is just adding frivolous fees on top of already expensive, overpriced food and drink. It is incredibly disgusting that management wants to pass their extra operational expenses directly onto the customer because they refuse to pay their employees what they are worth. I refuse to be lied to, tricked, or hit with random mandatory fees just for the sake of being charged. Walking out was the easiest decision I made today. I will absolutely never come back here, and I'd recommend spending your money somewhere that practices basic price honesty and actually values customer service.

    Sura Korean Restaurant was one of the first places my wife and I visited when we moved to Long…read moreBeach a while back, and found it to be OK. It's gotten a lot more popular since then, with some great additions to the menu (a lot of vegan options) and social advertising. So when I was walking back home from a delicious (but not filling) lunch, decided to stop in to 'top off'. It had a great dish along with very good banchans (but also a bland rendition of a classic Korean dish). It was busy on a mid Saturday afternoon, with their dedicated backyard parking lot pretty full. They now have outdoor seating where they've set-up korean 'grill-your-own' bbq tables. There's a clear 'Please wait to be seated' sign at the front, but no dedicated hostess station, so one has to wait till a server happens to come by. I was told I could choose a booth. There are no printed menus, instead needing to depend on their website. I had a craving for kimchi jjigae ($18.99), and noticed mackerel ($9.99) so got that as well. The jjigae comes with banchan, and those came early. They really upped their game here, with 7 different ones that looked (and tasted) great. Today, they had a daikon and carrot pickled salad (solid, would go great with fried chicken), stir-fried mushrooms (would go great in a bibimbap), marinated fish cakes (a personal favorite, and their version was solid), soybean sprout side dish (have grown to appreciate this as I've gotten older), napa kimchi (pretty strongly sour), cucumber kimchi (strongly favored by still maintaining crunchiness), and a decent macaroni salad (think I tasted a bit of potato in there, Hawaiian-style). This is a super good deal, especially for lunch. The banchan along with the steamed rice (well prepared) comes in bronze looking dishes, indicating a higher level of refinement. I love pike mackerel, having it quite a lot when growing up, and always thought that it (kkongchi) was what mackerel was in Korea. In reality, a more popular mackerel is the Korean mackerel (godeungeo), and this is what is served as an appetizer here: the preparation was a revelation. Two large, generous, boneless filets of mackerel is lightly breaded and fried. It sits on top of a bed of greens with various accompaniments. A generous amount of chili threads make it visually appealing as well. This is an absolute steal at the price, a fine dining dish at this restaurant. And it was great not having to worry about thin bones ruining each bite. I really loved this dish. The dish I thought would be good...was not. Just looking at it, one can tell something's up: the broth was bland without umami, which is the worst sin for this dish. There is a choice of spam (chosen) or pork belly, and its definitely added at the end of cooking since it added nothing to the broth flavor. Maybe the broth is initially prepared vegan-style (no pork or fish seasoning initially)? But if so, why no mushrooms? Anyway...I ate all the chunks in the stew to not waste, but left the rest of the broth alone. Service was attentive to bring the dishes, but then completely non-responsive afterwards. I finally was able to grab another server, who was able to check me out tableside using Toast tablets.

The broth was more just savory and salty but nothing really stood out as miso or anything different. I appreciate that they have a fair amount of bok choy and bean sprouts. And the tofu was really good too! It was covered in tempura so was almost agedashi-like but they only did give 2 pieces. Our waiter, Hector, was helpful, kind and continually attentive so shoutout to him! Prices are reasonable for ramen too. Glad I got to try!
