    Spicy Miso Ramen*
    Arev M.

    My husband told me about Ramen Nippon many times , and I got the chance to visit finally. It is a cute small place with very kind ladies as servers. They work very fast and they are very sweet as well. The ramen was delicious, the level of the spice was very good and I could've made it to a spicier dish. I love ramen very much and it is my go for during cold weather . I am sure I will be visiting Ramen Nippon many times, and try different delicious ramens .

    No fuss simple spot in Reseda! I have been coming back to this spot for over a decade now! It's been a neighborhood treasure and their ramen is always super solid. Their non ramen food aren't as high quality but it's been a nice little addition to the food scene in the Mid Valley area. The spot is clean, located in a cute little corner store. The service has been fast!

    This used to be our "go to" ramen place 15+years ago when the Ramen place isn't that populate yet. They only accept cash that time and menu was limited. Today I crave for a traditional Japanese ramen style that's not creamy and went back to this place. It's the same inside, very neat and clean and the servers where really nice and attentive. They now accept cash or card and has a lot of varieties to choose from their menu. But of course the prices went up compare to the last time we were here. We all enjoyed the traditional ramen, the gyoza and fried rice. Definite worth coming back

    Comforting food in a warm and cozy family friendly atmosphere with very attentive and friendly staff! They have delicious appetizers including the tofu salad (in a sesame dressing), yasai itame (stir-fried nappa cabbage with been sprouts, and leeks), and gyoza which are great for sharing. Their yakimeshi (fried rice) is aromatic. They have a wide variety of ramen bowls and pan-fried (with no soup). We've tried the chashu ramen (with shoyu broth), miso chashu ramen (with soybean paste broth), nira moyashi ramen (with shoyu broth), shio ramen (with salty chicken broth), and spicy miso ramen. They are flavorful, broth is clean and toppings are fresh. You can also make your ramen a combo with options of adding a small fried rice, a small curry rice, gyoza, or both a small fried rice and gyoza! They also offer a wide selection of beer, wine, sake, and non-alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices. They are located in a small plaza, northeast of Reseda Blvd. and Bassett St.

    Humongus Gomoku Rāmen at Nippon Rāmen
    Gary I.

    Nippon Rāmen may be the first Rāmenya in the San Fernando Valley having been established over 35 years ago. Much of the Rāmen here adheres to old school tradition of Shōyu/soy sauce & Shio/ salt based soup broth. The heavy pork bone & fat based Tonkotsu Rāmen, which now seems more prevalent in the U.S. in the last 20 years is not as common in Japan where Assari/less rich, more refreshing style is more popular. I ordered a huge bowl of Gomoku Rāmen which is Shōyu based. Sautéed Nappa cabbage, smooth yet crunchy Kikuragè/cloud ear mushroom, fibrous bamboo shoots, thin ham, bit of chopped pork, squid, shrimp sprinkled with Shōyu and thickened with a bit of corn starch. The mixture is then poured on top of the Rāmen noodles tending toward al dente initially. Chopped green onions & half of a 3/4 boiled egg where the egg yolk is custardy are the final garnishes. Touch of sesame finishing oil to add a nutty, toasty, faint sweet tone. Red powdered Paprika & ground, smoky, white pepper shakers available to pep up the Rāmen broth. The Shōyu broth made from chicken bones & Katsuo Bushi/dried bonito flakes & rest of the ingredients are basically fine, but wish Nippon Rāmen used a richer, more concentrated broth for more pronounced Umami. Next tIme, I will opt for the Chāshū roast pork supplement.  This Gomoku Rāmen harking back to the reign era name of the Shōwa Emperor over 35 years ago is nostalgic & homey. Interior has tables & counter seating for single diners. Service here is fast, efficient, perfunctory. You are in & out with a minimum of fuss. 4- stars.

    I've been coming here for 20 year, back when it was one of the very few ramen places in the valley (maybe the only one). It is still very good (and seems authentic to me - been to Japan twice).

    4.5 stars. One is this best traditional style, Ramen in the Valley. They create their signature soup with made with chicken and bonito broth mixed that brings out great flavorful taste . In their menu, they offer 3 different broth Shoyu (soy sauce), Shio (salt), and Miso . They also make their ramen noodles and gyoza from scratch every day. You know this is good when the restaurant gets busy right when it opens. There's noting fancy about Ramen Nippon bowl of ramen. It's just simple, delicious broth with perfectly cooked ramen noodles with good chewyness and simple toppings. My favorite bowls so far are: Chashu Ramen and Spicy Niramoyashi Ramen ( Highly recommend adding Chashu), but the whole menu does look good. You have plenty of different styles ramen to choose from. Their portions are huge. Service was great and they have a private lot and street parking as well. Overall, what a great hidden gem in Reseda.

    Ramen Nippon is very cozy & very welcoming. Everytime I crave ramen this is my go to spot. It's a bit far from me but everything is worth it and the staff is very kind and respectful. Definitely check this spot out if you ever in the area and want some good quality ramen. Very big portions too!

    The tonkatsu ramen will make you come back for more, even if you don't live nearby which I don't. Enjoy

    Best Ramen restaurant in LA. Not sure why it didn't make top 100 ramen places in your rating. Second to none.

    My regular go-to place. Nothing fancy or bougie, but extremely consistent, very clean and portions are generous. Service is fast.
