I've been here twice and will definitely go back!! Nice cozy place with 10 or so tables, open late, nice servers and great food! You can get ramen, sushi, rice bowls, bento boxes which is a little bit of everything and lots more! They have a small happy hour with beers 50% off and some discounted food offerings until 8:00 p.m.! My food was very flavorful, good portions and very reasonable prices..Two thumbs up... go give it a try! read more

The food was pretty standard. They had good happy hour prices and are open late. The pork lovers garlic ramen wasn't that garlicy for me and did get kind of bland. But it was still pretty good for the price. The place is pretty small and is in a plaza with some parking. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Paid nearly $50 and received extremely poor customer service. The staff member who helped me appeared unprofessional and clearly unkempt, and his behavior matched it. When I politely asked for extra soy sauce and wasabi and even offered to pay for it, he waved me away, said no more, and dismissed me with a clear attitude. If a restaurant is charging premium prices, basic courtesy and professionalism should be expected. Instead, I was treated with disrespect and made to feel unwelcome. The experience completely ruined the meal and I will not be returning. read more

This place is amazing! My bf wanted ramen and I wanted sushi, and he was able to find this place and it was the best decision ever. The lunch happy hour deals are great! Appetizers were 50% off, beer was $1.50, and they had other lunch special. The quality of the food did not disappoint at all either. We definitely recommend the tuna crispy rice and steamed wontons. The sushi rolls were also huge! Service was very kind and attentive. Though there is only one bathroom, it was very nice. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Yummy vibes all around. The sushi hit, the ramen hugged my soul, and the takoyaki? I'm in love, sorry not sorry.

They boil the broth for 10 hours! It was super flavorful! They have so many options on their menu. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! It was packed the entire time and thankfully they close until 3:00am! The service was amazing! I truly cant tell u what was my favorite dish! All of them were so good! I love how much garlic the broth had! The chashu pork melted in my mouth! The sushi was nice and fresh! I truly enjoyed all of it read more

Solid ramen that won't knock your socks off but isn't half bad either. However, I'm sure you can find better not too far off!

Ramen Melrose gets an easy 5 stars for me. Is this best kept secret in LA cuz I never heard of this place. I got invited to celebrate the birthday of my friend's mom. Our party of four ordered several items. We started with appetizers that included fried gyoza, steamed shumai and crispy tuna. Then we moved on to rolls which included yellowtail truffle, best friends and dragon fire. Then we ordered a sashimi bento box and finally, a bowl of ramen for each one of us. Gosh, everything was so fresh and delicious. From the fish to vegetables and every ingredient used. Service was friendly and attentive. The chef himself came out of the kitchen to check how we're doing with our meals. The ambiance may look very simple but don't judge cuz food is way better than gourmet restaurants in a fraction of a cost. We're looking forward to coming back very soon to try other items on the menu. Menu itself is very extensive so there's still a lot to try. I also would like to mention that they have a happy hour every day from 11am to 8pm. read more

We were looking for a place to eat but everything around our motel in Hollywood was closed we were walking and found this establishment. A hole in the wall mom and pop Ramen place. Interesting menu a lot to choose from honestly never been to a Ramen place like this. We chose the Bento boxes I chose Teriyaki chicken and my wife chose beef. Nice speed a selection of tempra shrimp California rolls salad ans rice. And some green stuff my wife told me was hot. And I tasted it holy... yeah it's hot. My wife box was the same except she had beef. Truthful damn great I enjoyed everything in the box. Truly worth walking in. Chicken well cooked as well as the beef, shrimp also very good. Wait staff is so friendly and helpful. Place is small but very clean. Stays open late for the night people. Lil grunge and alternative music flowing in the air. Nice Lil mom and pop. Price to product = 8 Customer service 8 Plating = 8 Cleanliness = 8 Menu = 7 Atmosphere = 8 read more

Came in with my head hangin' low from a long day and knew I could find great quality grub past 10PM in Hollywood here. Their prices are a couple bucks lower when dining at the restaurant vs ordering take out, understandingly so -- I'd been ordering their take out for so long I felt like I was re-discovering the prices. They've also got a happy hour running from 11:30 AM to 8 PM where 50% is taken off apps + 50% off beers from 5-8pm The lighting in the restaurant is brighter and colder than your usual dinner spot, so it does give more of a cafeteria vibe than intimate date night. I had some spicy edemame which was FREAKING AMAZING, I actually used the remaining sauce to add on top of my creamy vegan ramen and my partner loved it. Their ramen broths are off the HOOK. I'm only familiar with their vegan options but damn, both never disappoint (add egg to yours!!). Additionally got the best friend roll, which tasted great. However the spicy mayo was sweeter rather than spicy, the taste of mayo in my mouth was overpowering other ingredients. Itta was our server and was absolutely lovely! Thanks for having us. read more

Everything was tasty and I loved the garlic pork broth in the Garlic Lover Ramen. The service was excellent as well and a really great perk as well is they are open late if u are craving a really late night bite. Cute place and could be a small wait .The parking area is a little small but there is also metered parking around. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for years and finally did. The spicy ramen is really good! The og ramen was good but not as flavorful as the spicy. I also got tuna on crispy rice and that was ok, not the best crispy rice, but still tasty. And to drink I got a Thai tea, which I didn't like. Off taste. In terms of the service, it was great! The waiters were really nice and fast. And the restaurant was more spacious than I thought it would be. Overall, it's a solid spot. If you go for ramen, get the spicy pork one! read more

Ramen Melrose is one of those gems that I wished I discovered sooner. Great late night hours, just watch out for any shady stuff going down in the strip mall parking lot (you know how strip malls can be). Walking in felt like we were transported from this corner in Hollywood to a delicious Japanese adventure. The restaurant is roomy with great seating and ample space. We came her for a family celebration and it did not disappoint.  Definitely Mama approved! Everything from the flavor of the sushi rolls to the great service was well executed and high quality. As for our order we had Appeitizers: Gyoza Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Shumai Mains: Yellowtail with serrano chili pepper on a bed of greens and seaweed salad Sashimi Bento Box - Incredible Value with Rice, Salad, California Roll, generous Sashimi Sushi Rolls: Fire Dragon Roll, Yellowtail Truffle Roll, Best Friends Roll Ramen: Old Fashioned Pork Ramen and TNT Ramen. My favorite part of family outings is that we get to share and try everyhting. My favorites were the sushi rolls, sashimi bento box and Old Fashioned Ramen! If I was on a solo date, I would definitely go for the bento box! I will absolutely be back for the food, ambience and service.  Shout out to Yuki for all his delicious suggestions and Chef for making such excellent food We will definitely be back.  Super Oishi!!!! read more

In the heart of Hollywood, tucked into a vibrant corner of Melrose, Ramen Melrose serves up a bowl of comfort w/ a distinctive Hollywood twist. I ordered the beef ramen to go, & from the moment I opened the lid, it was a symphony of flavor. The beef was tender, rich, & perfectly balanced in a silky, fragrant broth. Even as a takeout order, they packed it w/ care, so each ingredient stayed pristine. The miso soup, though, missed the mark, the tofu cubes were too large, & the broth was watery, lacking the deep umami punch I hoped for. Still, for a wallet-friendly escape into ramen bliss, Ramen Melrose is a gem I'll return to, just next time, I'll skip the miso. read more

Good services and ambiance. Have different choices of ramen and other foods good costumer services and they close late

Great for late nights eatery after a concert or event in the area because they close late. 2/3 AM. They are small with less than 10 tables so there might be a wait. Ramen is decent but for $17, such a small portion with half of an egg. We also opted for something different and went with the curry beef bowl. Not only was it underwhelming, It was $17 for a few slices of old "Yoshinoya" style thin meat and a whole lot of salad. The meal may look big in pictures due to the flat plate and the misleading Ramen bowl that starts really small and at the top that illusioned to be big, But the size are pretty small. If you have a big appetite, these main entrees are probably just snack, appetizer lol. Service was good. Buy no one came back to refill our water. read more

Favorite late night spot after a night out! Slightly high price but the quality and quantity is pretty good and the service is quick

I just returned from a month in Japan and was craving Japanese food again. This is hands down some of the best Japanese food I've found in central LA! We tried the ramen and sushi as well as a bunch of appetizers and I was impressed with not only the portion sizes but that they were super generous with the fish in the rolls of sushi. The staff were also super kind and accommodating. I will be back if I'm craving Japanese food! read more

The food was amazing, the service 10/10!! Worth the wait, definitely coming back again. read more

This is one of the few places in this area that stays open late all year long. Around midnight we didn't have to wait to be seated for two people.

Was visiting family in Hollywood hills. We wanted ramen so went in Yelp and found this place. Knew the area so gave it try. Another thing that factored into deciding was seeing on Yelp the wait time and it was less than 5 which of course meant sat right away which we did. Around 6pmish. If you look at pictures of the menu you see how time wise , how long of a window they have for happy hour so that was a plus with trying out different appetizers. You can probably order one of each including both gyozas and it come to around $45 which is what we paid for just ordering regularly. So something to keep in mind if you just want to do happy hour items. Inside was nice and quaint, we got lucky with parking on the street behind the plaza but I'm sure when it's even busier , it'll be a pain to find parking. Service was good as expected so no complaints there, food came out pretty quickly so always a plus when you are very hungry. But most importantly it was all good. Mom just order appetizers as well as me and my gf which all was good. We got the pork garlic bowl and shared it which was very good and because simply of that, as well as happy hour we will keep this place in mind and trying a different bowl and maybe one of their sushi rolls if we're up for it. Only thing was we don't expect the moods to be small thing ones but of course they have options for different type of noodles you want in the ramen. So will keep that in mind when ordering next time. Simple put , the food hit the spot and we lucked out with going as to the time we went and would come back again and recommend if having trouble decided between so many ramen places available out in LA/Hollywood. Check it out at least once . read more

Solid spot in the Melrose area for legit ramen. They've got a big menu with ramen, sushi, and a bunch of other Japanese dishes, plus they stay open late, which is clutch. I tried the Pork Garlic Lovers Ramen, Fire Dragon Roll, and Chicken Katsu Curry. We also got the Sushi Bento Box which was pretty hefty and my fave. The ramen was flavorful without being heavy, and the sushi rolls were fresh and thick cut. Prices are fair and the portions fill you up. The happy hour here is actually pretty amazing. $1.50 beers from 11:30am-5pm and half-off apps until 8pm. Overall a  nice option for Japanese food, whether for lunch, dinner, or a late-night bite. read more

Hidden Gem Alert! What a great deal, especially their super generous happy hours and portions! Being surrounded in LA by restaurants that will suck your wallet dry, it's nice to know there are still places like this that are fair to the consumer. Great service, chill atmosphere, and really good food. We all got the pork tonkotsu garlic lover ramen and LOVED it. The fact you can customize your spice level on all ramen bowls and the friendly portions of add-ons makes this a must-go. The bento box was ginormous and I really liked they had shishito peppers as part of the tempura set. Can't wait to come back! There is a small parking lot in front or free street parking nearby. read more

We were up in L.A. for CicLAvia on Melrose. We decided to park and take a long walk instead of riding bikes so we could hit up the shops along Melrose. Near the halfway point, we were looking for a beer and some lunch. Ramen Melrose hit the spot. They had cheap beer, places to sit and a really gorgeous bathroom. We ordered off the happy hour menu and started with an Asahi and some gyoza. Really spicy! My traditional pork ramen was just perfect. A silky flavorful broth and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Flavorful pork and tasty veggies. Loved this spot and the service was excellent. read more

Came back for a super late dinner with someone. Talking like 1am. I didn't know they were open until 3am. Hollywood definitely doesn't sleep I guess but this is like suburb Hollywood to me. By the grocery store. Anyway. Friendly service and I just tried the sushi. Not super impressive. Thanks for staying open late though, extra star for that plus we got seated right after we clocked in our reservation basically, within ten minutes. Parking kinda sucks but every time I'm here magically someone else is leaving so it worked out. Four stars for the sushi (a fan fave roll I think) and an extra for late hours. Guessing their namesake ramen is the best item on the menu. read more

There were tables available for walk-in customers like us. They are open late. We went after 10pm. We ordered the following: Garlic Edamame Appetizer, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Philadelphia Roll, and salmon cut roll. Everything was SO AMAZING. The portions were great for two. Definitely recommend Melrose Ramen!! read more
