This was my first time trying Silverlake Ramen, and the lunch special is amazing! It's $15 for edamame or house salad, a mini bowl of ramen, and a mini rice bowl. The portion quantity is actually pretty generous, and the food is delicious! The edamame has truffle salt on it, and the ramen is well seasoned. The standout for me though was the spicy tuna bowl, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend trying this place out during lunch! Also, the service was quick and friendly. They were able to seat 11 of us at a long table and handle all of our orders with ease and efficiency. I'll definitely be back sometime! read more

Was very disappointed with the ramen today. The favor was good but the chicken was not cooked. Parking is difficult here, there is parking but the lot charges $10-$13 to park. They do not have validation. read more

Stop by on a rainy day or sunny day. Either way, the ramen doesn't stop. And neither should you with the chop sticks They have ramen, rice bowls and sushi, what's not to love. Wonderful seating outside or inside. The food is great and the wait isn't long. read more

I ordered an Impossible Bun appetizer and a curry bowl for pick up. The curry rice bowl with Impossible katsu was delicious. I really enjoyed the umami of the curry. I loved the appetizer I got too. The bun was nice and plush. read more

Went here after having visited a few other locations and I can't say the ramen was as good. I've ordered from here many times though and been more impressed, so maybe just an off night. Great service though. read more

Was craving ramen for some odd reason and stumbled upon this spot late at night. Luckily, they were open, and it turned out to be a great find. The service was quick and prompt--no long wait times, which was a huge plus. The atmosphere was simple and a bit quiet, which made it a chill place to unwind. I ordered the Shoyu on Fire and it absolutely hit the spot. Flavorful, spicy, and just what I needed. If you're ever in Downtown LA and looking for a solid bowl of ramen, this place is definitely worth a try. read more

This review is for management. I've door dashed silver lake ramen and ate at a few of their other locations no problem. This time I came and asked if I could use the restroom before sitting down. The waitress (female, barely speaks English, long black hair in braid) said her boss would fire her. Might as well say we don't want customers to use the bathroom. I gave the waitress a $10 tip and she said her boss would fire her if she took it. I walked out. Food at this location is mediocre too. 20-30 minute wait for basic ramen isn't worth it. Food isn't anything special or ramen worth missing. Go to another location. read more

Chay from the Downtown Los Angeles location is so amazing. She's quick, attentive, friendly and beyond professional. I love her attitude and she made sure everyone in the rest was good overall with their meal. She walked around constantly checking on me an others who were inside and she made us feel welcome the entire time. I ordered the karaage bowl and it was delicious! chay, is awesome!! go chay!!!!!!! read more

I enjoy the food and price point. This is conveniently located and the service staff is the best. I had previously believed the owner stole a large box of gluten free noodles from me, but they were returned. I revoke any former mean-spirited comments and apologize. read more

I ate at Silverlake Ramen after seeing a show at the Ahmanson with my friend. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it! We both got the Chicken Karaage bowl. That red ginger! So good! We were the only guests, and it did take a while to be served, but the food came out piping hot and was tasty. I'm super happy to see that there is one closer to me in Pasadena. read more

I've eaten at this location multiple times when visiting DTLA and have always had a great meal and great fun service. The vibe is always fun and the people there always recommend cool new dishes for me to try.

Sake and spicy ramen! Delicious! read more

This place needs to reconsider the girl who was working last night on the phone. I communicated to her that I wanted to cancel my online order that i had ordered not even 2 minutes ago and I heard her tell the cook not to make it anymore. She tells me i have to contact uber for my refund. The moment i hang up on her my order says "ready for pick up" she purposely marks it off as ready. I call her back and she said she didn't mark it off as ready and that the app does on its own after 20 mins. She was lying because 20 mins hadn't passed. It was literally 2 minutes after the order that i called. The whole time she was talking over me. And just repeating herself saying she had nothing to do with it and that they were a third party company. She was rude and her professionalism was offensive. I would fire her if she was my employee. I would never order or step into this places. Many times I've been to silverlake Monterey park and the service has no comparison. I've never had attitudes from any of the girls there. Because of her I wouldn't recommend this specific location. It's very disappointing that your place has a person acting this way. Jasmine K. If this was you and you're really the owner. You're not suited to be a manager nevertheless an owner. You were not professional whatsoever. If that's what you call professional you need to seek professional and proper professionalism training. You don't treat customers with lies and disrespect. You're calling me a liar when you're the one just confirming that you did say the app automatically shows prepared after 20 minutes. What you don't understand is that you're clearly lying. Because i called within 5 minutes after my order was placed and you marked it off as ready. You're literally scamming your customers and uber. This is disgraceful and disgusting behavior. Straight lying and confirming your lie. And saying i was screaming. I was not screaming: you talking over me over and over. You literally returned the energy I was giving. As a business owner that's not a way to treat your customers. You don't reciprocate the attitude, you manage it and keep it professional. I was the one under the stress of my order not you. Because of you and your management look at how many bad reviews you have. If you can't be professional and have a good representation of your business you shouldn't be working there. You don't treat people like that. Especially if you serve food! Who's going to want to eat food prepared from a boss like you. Not me. And no one should. You know exactly what you're doing. Ripping people off and scamming them. It has nothing to do with uber or postmates. As a business owner customers come first. And you're lying and purposely scamming. People look at how many bad reviews she has!!! And she keeps apologizing for her poor management. It's not a place to peacefully eat and enjoy. Customer service is the worse here. I really hope your boss sees this. You should seek a job where attitude and bad representation is needed. I don't understand why or how you're working there. Extremely disappointing and disrespectful. Changing your response for the second time doesn't change anything. You are clearly confirming your behavior with your replies. Like I said you shouldn't be managing. This place is loosing a lot of everything because of you. You can't even make things right, you're just excusing yourself. This is terrible. read more

10/10 one of my favorite ramen spots. I ordered the garlic truffle so good I typically get Blaze It Tonkatsu Ramen but the truffle is also good. The spicy Tuna rolls only comes with 2 pieces; they're also good but for 2 pieces the price a little absurd. It's self seating, you order at the cashier and they provide a # where they will serve you at your table. I visited the downtown LA so parking is tough but there's parking lots that charge $10-$15 depending on the night. They have many other locations, Silver Lake on Sunset Blvd uou will be seated by a host but this location is always busy so prepare to wait if you have a party larger than 2. Yelp has the option to jump In line so if your on your way you can add your name to the wait list- that way your not waiting too long enjoy read more

Another great Silverlake ramen location. I had ramen once before in dtla and it was very meh. Came here for lunch. Checked into Yelp for a free drink or egg, but my ramen already had an egg, so I got the drink. Ordered the spicy tonkatsu Ramen combo with broccolini, coworker just got tea. Food was excellent - broccolini was nice and crispy. Ramen was delicious - pork was crispy and tender, had a nice kick! Service was good and the place was clean! read more

Silverlake Ramen DTLA - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I work in dtla right by this place. I placed an order for pick up so it can be ready when I get there. Lunch is only 30 minutes you know. So when I got there I asked if I can eat it there and the lady was tryna tell me that usually they don't allow it cuz it's a pick up order but she would let me this time. There was no one in there at all. I was still gonna order drinks and stuff I just wanted my food to be ready. So just off that it's safe to say I won't ever be ordering from here again read more

Terrible customer service. Ordered through Uber Eats. Delivery never showed up. When I called to report the dude who answered offered no support or offer to replace the order. read more

I had the worst experience at Silverlake Ramen DTLA, and it's clear that management is allowing blatant scamming to happen here. From the moment we walked in, the woman in charge had a terrible attitude--just straight rude with bad energy. She was dismissive, unhelpful, and seemed irritated from the start. Then came the scamming tactics. First, she claimed their credit card machine was down, forcing us to either pay in cash or use their online ordering system. Conveniently, later on, she suddenly said the machine was working--but now we had to prepay for our order before even being served. I've been to multiple Silverlake Ramen locations, and this is NOT a policy at any of them. Then, when my party of six tried to sit together, she refused and made us sit at separate tables. Fine. But when we told her we'd be paying separately, she changed the rules again and insisted we all had to pay under one tab because of yet another so-called "policy" that doesn't exist anywhere else. When we called her out on all these inconsistencies, she immediately played the victim, claiming we were being "disrespectful" and that she had already been yelled at twice that day. Honestly? Not surprised. When you lie and manipulate customers, of course, people are going to be frustrated. At this point, it was obvious she was making things up as she went, trying to manipulate customers into whatever was most convenient for her. Looking at other reviews, I see this isn't the first time she's done this, and I'm beyond disappointed that Silverlake Ramen corporate hasn't stepped in to stop it. If you're considering coming to this location--DON'T. There are plenty of great ramen spots in LA that won't lie to your face, give you attitude, and make up fake policies to scam you out of your money. read more

Service is always friendly, food is consistently good and quick. Space is very quiet and a nice place to grab lunch alone or with friends.

If I could give this place negative stars, I absolutely would. This was hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. I was so excited to eat here after church, especially since all the other Silverlake Ramen locations have been great. But from the moment we walked in, it was a disaster. We had a party of six, and the hostess told us only three of us could sit at a table--which was bizarre, but we went along with it. This location also requires prepayment, which is fine, but when three of us tried to order on the same ticket, she refused and said we all had to order on the same ticket because she was going to add gratuity. I explained that didn't make sense since we were being split up and weren't receiving any real service. That's when she got rude and told me she wouldn't serve me because I was "rude"--all because I called her out on her unprofessional behavior. I was having an amazing day, and she completely killed the vibe. Now that I'm reading other reviews, I see I'm not the only one who's had this exact same experience. Silverlake Ramen, I really hope you read this. By keeping someone like this employed, you're allowing negative energy to thrive in your space. She's using your business to spread bad vibes in the community--and that's not okay. read more

Ordered the tonkotzu blaze ramen and the truffle garlic. I didn't have high hopes because my ramen expectations are extremely high BUT it was actually good. I like creamy broth with tons of flavor and both had just that. I did like the blaze more,I would order it with the thicker noodles that the truffle ramen came with !

My new regular spot! I've had the shrimp tempura roll and the crispy rice. Shrimp tempura roll hits! Crispy rice was amazing once and the first time the rice texture was off. Overall the quality is great and I feel validated about being healthy and full. I would double check for silverware and napkins as once I had time get my own after leaving with my order. But this place is definitely great and reliable! read more

Really good food and service. Dined in, got a couple sushi rolls and ramen. Recommend

Honestly the food is so so good. My first time here was really good to the point I came again the following week ! However the second time service was horrible. As someone who is dining in I didn't think I had to order before having to go to the restroom. I wanted my spouse to order apps while I urgently went to the restroom and was refused till I completed payment. Mind you they were only taking cash so I had to take time to find a ATM & run back to the restaurant to have to come to find I can't use the restroom before making a choice on what to eat and paying. Having to pay in advance became a bigger issue when I wanted to add more items as time passed , personally I didn't like the feeling of having to pay every time I decided to ask for another side of (roll, gyoza, broccolini etc). Now looking at the other reviews it's the same person every time and nothing is being done ! read more

Lived across the street from this place for about 2 years and never set foot into it until one random day I decided to dare to be different. I say this with all seriousness IT CHANGED MY LIFE!! Honestly I was never a big ramen or soup guy but at least 2 or 3 times a month I'm back here giving them all my money haha Away from the food the staff here are amazing, they really give you that good ol local feel. Every time I come in they know me and my dog by name! read more

As per usual the food here was delicious, definitely one of the best ramens I've ever had. I get the spicy tonkutsu and it is extremely creamy and the perfect balance of spice. The meat is crispy and tender. The dumplings as an appetizer were excellent. Onto the bad news, the service was awful, we waited 20 minutes for our appetizer and 30 minutes for our actual dishes. Definitely extremely slow, so if you're willing to wait I'd recommend because the food was worth it! read more

Silverlake Ramen DTLA - The Garlic Truffle, The Blaze Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food doesn't taste great like I was expected, the broth tasted buttery, and I asked for my soup to be very spicy, but it came very bland. The spicy tuna roll is subpar, it tastes like those in prepackaged rolls in the supermarket. I would dine for those spicy tuna somewhere else where it has better quality of the tuna and at least small cucumber pieces provided or something in the roll that costs $7.5. Also, this place charged you 15% tips at front and would say something like tips are not expected. Well, I also tipped the staffs in cash$4 (the a bit more amount than being charged$3.xx) when paid for the meal just before getting seated. I felt empathy for those whom may not earn much tips during COVID. However, I expected that the food and and the services would be nice in quality or more prompt especially when the restaurant only had 2 tables occupied. (Asked for iced water once and had to do that again, I felt very uncomfortable that my business wasn't valued here, and the staffs were not even bothering checking on anything with customers which is not fair when we asked to paid the service in advance, but got nothing in return, thanks). read more

Silverlake Ramen DTLA - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was here last night and the service was terrible, person serving us was rude as soon as we walked in. Showed up at 12:25, mind you they close at 1am. We walked in the server asked us dine in or take out we said dine in she replied "I would love to serve you but I close in 20 mins so you know".No I don't know it was really condescending. I'm sorry but I worked at silverlake ramen couple years ago and closed for that matter and never did I ever tell a client that I closed in 20 mins so you know. That's just bad customer service. We just felt like we weren't wanted there. We had our ramen took us 20 mins to eat and we were out before 1am. Won't be returning. read more
