This place was delicious! The menu is simple- only about 5 ramen varieties, but you get to customize your order to get it exactly as you want it. There are lunch and dinner services as Ramen Nagi is closed midday. I queued up right at the start of their dinner service and didn't have to wait. I filled out the menu card and was seated very quickly. The service throughout the meal was attentive and friendly. There is water already at the table along with a carafe if you get thirsty. There were also condiments at the table for further customizing the ramen. I didn't try any of these. I ordered the Original King with the chef's recommendations all the way down except I subbed cabbage for green onion. This was an excellent dish! The tonkatsu broth was very richly flavored and the noodles were perfect. The chasu pork was hearty and the cabbage had just the right amount of crunch. Overall, this was a very satisfying dish. Ramen Nagi was great value. All in with tip and a sprite, it was a very reasonably priced meal that was about $24. It's also flooded with natural light, so it's a lovely atmosphere on a sunny day. For all around taste and value, Ramen Nagi is hard to beat! read more

We got the vegan non-broth ramen that came with a Mazesoba sauce (a little tangy but very creamy). Interestingly, it came with beetroot powder and chia seeds - two condiments I have never had on ramen. The minced garlic added a nice kick to it. I got the thicker noodles with level 2 on the Nagi spice (still not too spicy). We also got the fried vegan dumplings which were okay. A little too mushy and chewy but not bad. Quick service and lovely ambience. read more

Ramen is amazing very delicious Great service always nice and helpful Clean environment and nice place to chill and relax read more

They don't take reservations! You have to walk up and/or stand in the line to get in. The ramen is that good. They have a handful of basic types of ramen that you can choose from and then customize. They give you a paper and a marker to make your selections and someone explains all of this to you very clearly. There is water on the table and you can also order soda and other drinks to go with your ramen. I tried the black garlic ramen and it was flavorful. My only concern was the appearance of my mouth. I thought it would turn black but it was fine. I just had the normal bits that got stuck in my teeth. Worth it. The gyoza was also good. The staff was helpful and friendly. They give you the bill and you pay on your way out at the register. read more

My friends and I visited on a Saturday, they get really long lines on weekends! Not too much seating inside. It's a small menu with about 4-5 options, and there are many customizations you can make. I got the original king, the ramen was flavorful and came in a big bowl. It was good, but not sure if I'd wait in a big line for it again. read more

Was craving ramen after seeing a movie at AMC so headed over to Ramen Nagi. Even late on a Sunday night before closing, there was still a short line, but it moved fast. The staff members will provide a sheet of paper and marker to record your order while you're waiting. I love how customizable their ramen is - you're able to adjust salt, oil, garlic levels, noodle texture, spiciness, type of meat, etc. Ambiance is bright and casual. I got the black king (squid ink) with the chef's recommended selections and it was delicious and flavorful! It has such a rich peppery and umami flavor and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Ramen Nagi has always been solid and never disappointed. Service is quick and friendly and you pay at the counter before leaving. read more

This Ramen Nagi location is on the top floor of the Westfield Century City mall. People come here just for tonkotsu ramen. It's that good. They also have a special ramen at each location called "limited king". I think they might have had beef here before! Service is great. There is usually a line outside, and a waiter will come up to you to explain the menu. This is really helpful, especially if it's your first time. The order sheet is nice because you can customize the ramen to your liking. I personally like light salt and thin noodles. Those peppery bean sprouts side dishes on each table are so good. Pro tip: you can ask the server for more if it runs out! Parking at the mall is not free. Be prepared to wait a bit. read more

Came here on a Friday night and there was a little line going. The restaurant is a little on the smaller side so that's why I assume the wait. Thankfully the wait went by quickly. As we were in line, they go over the menu and let you know how to order with the sheet of paper they give you. I love how customizable it is, but I'm not a fan of the extra charge for adding an egg. Despite that, the ramen was honestly too good and it was still just around $20 so it's not crazily priced like some other places in LA. The staff were efficient and smily, food was delicious, and ambiance was great. Definitely would come back even if there is a little wait. read more

Love the concept. While we were on queue outside the restaurant, we were handed a pen and a checklist of ingredients that needs to be completed beforehand. A bit of a pressure if you're new to the system and slow :) You get to choose how much salt you want, oil, garlic, thin meat or thick, types of vegetables, type of pork. You can also tick-off any extras you want. Hip and fun stuff for ramen lovers and experts who know exactly what they want; challenging for people like me who don't want to overthink how a good ramen should be done. My two other friends think so, too. I had an Original King Ramen with Chashu (porkloin) and I enjoyed it very much. Ambiance was very oriental which was nice. If you want fast service and know exactly how you want your ramen, this place is for you. read more

Having enjoyed our experience at the South Coast Plaza location, we decided to try a location much closer to where we live...Century City. Here's what we ordered... Original King Tonkotsu ramen w/egg for extra money: Fantastic Chashu Rice: Excellent Karaage: Pretty good The ramen broth was as good as the SCP location. Service was friendly and efficient. Positive vibe in the restaurant as everyone is enjoying their ramen. We waited in line for about 10 minutes at peak lunch time during the weekend, so it wasn't bad. My only gripe with Ramen Nagi is they charge for extra ingredients like an egg for $2.25. Be prepared to pay for parking and it's not cheap. I paid $17 for about 3.5 hours. read more

I have been a regular at Ramen Nagi since they opened a few years ago, and it remains one of my favorite Ramen spots. This location can be busy at times and there is almost always a line where you can wait 20-40 minutes during peak hours but they make it easier by providing you an order sheet to customize your ramen while you wait. Once you're seated, the service is extremely fast with your order coming out in a matter of minutes. The atmosphere is vibrant and loud, making for a fun, high-energy dining experience making it worth the wait. read more

This restaurant chain is from the Bay, which has crazy lines for this restaurant. Overall, it's alright. If you're at Century city mall and have a craving for ramen, it's worth a try. Ramen: - Lots of customizations available, from the firmness of the noodle, type of vegetable, meat, etc - Original king good flavor, thin noodles are similar to hakata ramen noodles - Black king doesn't add much more flavor to the ramen Ambiance / Service: - The line may be long, but it is efficient. The staff give you a menu and order card in line so by the time you are seated the food comes right out read more

Ramen Nagi - Original King - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As always, Ramen Nagi hits the spot when you want a solid bowl of well-crafted ramen customizable to your tastes, and some of the most addicting dumplings on the west side. My go to of original is made double as delicious when I add on two tamago, and some gyoza on the side. And I'm always left craving more of their bean sprout appetizer, which I still want to snag the recipe of to make at home. You know it's a solid win when the restaurant is packed despite LA's biggest rain storm of the year. Thank you Ramen Nagi, for being the pick your own ramen of all time. read more

25 minute wait quoted for line, actual wait less than 15 minutes on a Saturday at noon. Personal water pitcher on table, big plus. Soft drinks in a can so no refills if you are a big soda drinker. Ramen came fast, portion size was good, flavor was excellent. Price was reasonable for Century City, with tax and tip lunch for 2 was $60.00. Staff very friendly and attentive, food came fast and hot. read more

It was perfect ramen weather. While getting some shopping done at Westfield Century City. I decided to stop by for some ramen. We lined up with only a few people ahead of us. As we waited we were given papers and markers to order our ramen. It is custom made so you can tailor it to exactly how you like it. I like how you can even customize your salt level. Once we completed filling out the paper, we have it to the worker. Luckily there was only a little wait. And that was because we wanted our own table instead of sharing a big table with others. We finally got seated in the restaurant. The place is medium sized. And the food came out fast. I would say it only took 15 minutes. The bowls are big and the ramen got me stuffed as well as the fried chicken. I was definitely satisfied with this place and would come back. read more

Ramen nagi is one of my solid go-to spots for ramen now. The quality is always consistent and so good, and the service is so quick and smooth. I always opt for the original king with kokuni (pork belly). I've tried the kaarage too, which is pretty good. Also, don't overlook the bean sprouts as a condiment! I treat them almost as a side dish, and they're peppery and very well seasoned and super tasty to have on the side. If I had to be nitpicky with this restaurant, I'd just say I wish there were more noodles and less broth, but overall, it's pretty solid! read more

The line can be intimidating but it moves fast! This is fast casual dining but delicious! Price point is great for quality. I ordered the original king with pork belly! I will admit the piece of pork belly was so small. :/ You are able to customize / modify your bowl. I opted for light oil. Salt level normal. I noticed my bowl had quite a bit of GREEN ONIONS. I like green onions but sheeesshh lol. For next time I will either have the pork belly but add chasu or just stick with the chasu. I would also order a side of extra noodles! Since I was a party of one，I was seated at the counter. They have additional toppings at the table (sesame seeds, pickled bean sprouts). The broth was PIPING hot (not spicy but literally fresh off the stove). I ate slowly and let it cool down. I see they have other locations and curious to check out the other locations. Too bad they don't do phone orders / takeout. 10/10 read more

Came here because my son loves this place, so wanted to try....he did not disappoint. There was a line, but it moves fairly quickly. We went to the century city location. Nice, clean and modern feel. They took our orders and soon as we were seated, and food comes out fairly quickly. Son ordered the regular king ramen with eggs. I ordered the black king ramen. Full of flavor and my noodles were done perfectly firm like I like. The chicken karaage was very flavorful. Crunchy, juicy and comes with an egg/mayo sauce that was full of umami. Wish they had closer locations, I would be coming here all the time. Yum! read more

Needed a quick pick up and so a friend who lives nearby suggested we have lunch at Ramen Nagi! There was a short wait but honestly, it was less than 5 minutes and gave us more time to decide what to order! We ordered three different ramen bowls. Two spicy (one with thin and the other thick noodles) and the other was a normal brother with chef's choice. The ramen tasted really good but it is pricey and wished it came with more vegetables. You could add more vegetables but it was additional charge. I could definitely see this place being packed if it's raining outside! read more

Four of the six ramen options are pork based, then there's a vegetarian and a fusion version. I've had 2 of the pork based ramens so far, plus the karage chicken appetizer. I really like the thin noodles, and you can even pick the firmness. The thick noodles are great too, but if you go firm on them, you'll probably regret it like I did. I recommend the thin noodles. The chicken appetizer is not on the checklist they give you, so you'll have to complete a checklist, then order the appetizer directly with the waiter. I really enjoyed the juiciness and umami flavor of the chicken. I will order them again. The service is intentionally loud and hilarious when you enter. They announce you arrival in Japanese and that's gets thing started right. Keep in mind that this place gets really busy to a point where they have a line staging area where you'll have to wait until there's room. read more

This place is a shop located on the second floor of the Westfield Century City mall. The exterior is decorated in Japanese style banners and the interior is bright with counter seating overlooking the kitchen where you can witness the employees making your ramen. Water and condiments are set up at the table and you merely fill out a form to get your style of ramen, which is taken upon being seated. The employees were nice, but there wasn't much to interact with them. I ordered the black king with all recommended settings except for spice, which I ticked up a level. The broth is deep and savory, with an onyx simmer from the squid ink they use. The thin noodles are tender and perfectly cooked, having a nice bite and irresistible slurpiness. The pork chashu was more akin to slices of beef in a gyudon, or a roasted beef don. The texture was lacking on those but the flavor was on point. The dish had a mild heat for level 2, an aid for the warmth of the broth. The ramen forms a cohesive whole, with the complexity of the black broth and the springiness of the thin noodles. This place is definitely delicious and at the forefront of ramen in LA, clashing with its competitors in Sawtelle and little Tokyo. read more

Wait i really enjoyed the arcadia location, but this time it didnt hit that hard. DONT GET ME WRONG it was still really good though. I ordered the basil ramen as I was having a little pasta craving and it was a pleasant surprise. The cheese on the ramen was a little interesting but it added a nice taste tk the ramen. I also very much enjoyed the basil-y taste. It honestly did taste very similar to pasta. I regret nkt getting the thicker ramen noodles though. The thin noodles weren't hitting as hard:(( Service was top notch tho! Will be back here again :) read more

We visited this place at the mall on a random weekend. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to get seated quickly, especially if you're okay with sitting at the bar. The staff are really nice, friendly, and super efficient. They hand you the menu while you're waiting in line outside, so you can already start deciding what to order, which makes the process really smooth. We ordered the ramen and the original -- both were pretty good. The flavor is on the lighter side, not too salty, and you can adjust it based on your personal preference. The pork belly/meat was really good as well. We also tried the fried chicken (karaage). It's a bit different from other places -- the batter is thicker, and personally I think it could use a bit more seasoning. read more

Had to repost this to correct location. BUT 5 star on management trying to make this experience right. I would come back to try again. Thank you management (this paragraph added a month after review). I'm not sure what to say.... First of all my initial impression was good. Even the lamb soup or the spicy soup, were both good. Pricing was pricier, but I figured it would be worth it for the hype and the soups. The only problem me and my fiancé had the following day was our upsetting stomach. This was the only food I had the night before my upset stomach. I'm not sure if it's this but it seems very likely. The soups or the chicken..... At 7:30PM on Thursday night, the line wasn't that long to dine-in. Service was extremely good though. It was a small place so it was hard to get in or leave the place. You have to pay at the counter after you're done with your bill. read more

Ramen Nagi in Century City is easily one of the best ramen spots we've tried in the area. The overall food quality is excellent, and the chashu in particular stands out as some of the best we've ever had--tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Service was another highlight. The staff was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. We also really appreciated how customizable the menu is; you can adjust everything from saltiness to oiliness to noodle firmness, which makes the bowl feel tailored exactly to your taste. Prices are totally reasonable for the quality you get. We ordered the Original King and the Red King--both solid choices--but next time we'll probably stick with the Original, since the Red King leans pretty rich. Overall, highly recommend if you're craving a great bowl of ramen in Century City! read more

Ramen Nagi - Red king Original - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After many years I can finally say I have tried all of the standard ramen nagi flavors! I completed it with the black king (squid ink flavor). It was surprisingly better than I expected! While I do like their limited edition kings, I don't normally love the other standard kings besides the original. There's a bit of sweetness from the minced pork and squid flavors. I could actually see myself getting the black king again! So my ramen nagi ranking would go: 1. Original king 2. Black king 3. Veggie king 4. Red king 5. Green king At the century city location there's still a short line around 7-8pm on a tuesday night. read more

There is a reason this ramen spot in Century City always has a line (even in the rain). It's because the ramen is delicious. I went for the first time on a rainy day and we got a spot at the community table in the cozy spot in about 15 minutes. They are very efficient with handing out the menu in line along with markers so that you're ready to go as soon as you sit down. I opted to get nearly all the chef recommendations except for cabbage instead of scallions. Also added a soft boiled egg. The pork broth is super flavorful and noodles are cooked just right. I added some of their red pepper for a bit more kick. I'd love to go back to try other combos. read more

Red king was rich and salty and right amount of spice in it. Veggie king was rich as well and the vegetables tasted great and fresh. The karaage was crispy on the outside, meat was tender but a little too sweet. Good thing they put lemon on the side that helped balanced the sweetness and sourness of it. Thin noodles was cooked perfectly. Service was great and pretty fast. It was raining and the place was really busy. read more

Whether its cold out and you're craving that comfy cozy meal or it's hot out and you're still wanting ramen, this is the spot! Ramen Nagi is one of my favorites and absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The wait times can vary vastly depending on when you go. I've gone in on a Saturday lunch and had zero wait while I've gone for dinner on a random weekday and had to wait in a bit of a line. They hand you the menu and paper for you to customize your ramen order the way you want it. The broth is delicious and full of flavor, rich and creamy without being too much. I'm a fan of the thick noodles but I love to get the thin noodles to go if I have leftover soup. The Nagi sauce really adds a nice flavor layer to the overall ramen and isn't too spicy. I'll usually opt to get "1 spicy." Another highlight is the chicken karaage here which bursts with flavor. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with the perfect flavor profile. The pieces are quite big though! The staff here are all friendly and attentive making sure that you're well taken care of. They give you the check at the end to your table to which you'll take to the front counter to pay. read more

Super cute ramen place located centrally in Westfield Century City Mall. I ordered the spicy ramen with thick noodles and a ramen egg. They accidentally gave my whole group thin noodles when we had circled thick noodles, but when we asked them about it they immediately changed out all our bowls. Service was amazing!! They also have a little bean sprout appetizer in the middle of the tables and a variety of condiments you can add to your noodles like sesame seeds, chili powder, and other sauces. Loved it! Would definitely be back to try the other soup bases read more
