We had a delicious ramen lunch at Silverlake on a Saturday afternoon. We had 3 classics and one Blaze (medium) which was the perfect spice level for me. We also tried a pork bun, spicy tuna roll, and California roll. The sushi tasted very fresh, the pork buns were some of the best we ever had. We also really enjoyed the ramen. We had just returned from Japan and found the flavors very authentic. Service was excellent and no wait for a table around 1:30pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is indoor and outdoor seating but we sat indoors and really enjoyed our experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stumbled across it by accident as it's located in a corner of the food court to the left as you walk in and we were so happy with our choice given all the many food options at UTC.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would definitely come back to eat here again next time we are at the mall. read more

Food (5/5 stars): I had tried Silver Lake Ramen at their original location in LA and am glad they expanded to San Diego! Their Garlic Truffle Ramen is one of their unique, signature dishes. I loved the rich, umami broth and their chili paste elevated it. They also served a thick slice of chashu that was well-marinated and had a generous amount of fat. Their ramen egg never disappoints and the noodles had a nice thickness to them. They nailed each component of this ramen and I highly recommend it! I'll try their Blaze Tonkotsu next time though. Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: a little pricey but still worth * Wait Time: no wait for an early Sunday lunch for a party of 2 * Service: great! * Parking: UTC has free parking for 2 hours * [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: it's a nice, modern ramen restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great ramen and even better service! Shoutout to Yza for being such a wonderful server. She was kind, fast, and made us feel so welcome.

Garlic Truffle Goodness with a Side of "Service Could Be Better" Finally tried Silverlake Ramen SD and their Garlic Truffle Ramen -- and let me just say, this bowl is a whole vibe. The broth? Creamy, garlicky, and rich with truffle butter that took it to another level. Bonus points for offering chicken instead of pork -- I don't eat pork for health reasons, so it was refreshing to find a ramen spot with solid alternatives. Toppings were on point: tender grilled chicken, fresh kale, a jammy marinated egg, chewy noodles, and a crisp sheet of nori floating on top like a flavor flag. The truffle butter swirl? Chef's kiss. Why 4 stars? The service was a little meh. I ordered hot green tea, had to ask for sugar, and no spoon -- ended up stirring it with my chopsticks. Also noticed other tables got check-ins during their meal... I didn't get one until I flagged someone down for the bill. ‍ Pro Tip: If you want pork-free ramen packed with flavor, this one's a winner. Just hope you catch them on a better service day. read more

The ramen was pretty average but the pork was absolutely amazing. It was well marinated and had a strong umami flavor, had a nice and good sear on it and was definetly the highlight of the bowl. Same goes with the pork bun, it came out nice and was well seasoned. read more

Ace is the best! My family and I have been coming to Silverlake in La Jolla for years, and we always make a point to ask for him. He's incredibly welcoming, attentive, and consistently provides outstanding service that makes every visit feel special. The food is always great, but it's the exceptional hospitality from Ace that keeps us coming back. He's become a familiar face we genuinely look forward to seeing every time we visit. read more

Another great visit at Silverlake. Had the Classic Ramen, with pork, and it tasted great. Had it with the Chicken Karaage, which I enjoyed as well. Had a good taste to it. Also ordered the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna appetizer, which was previously recommended to me, and I enjoyed that as well. Will return. read more

I came to Silver Lake Ramen because Ramen Nagi was closed, and I'd heard good things from others. We opted for the combo, which includes an appetizer and ramen for $20--a great deal! For appetizers, we tried the gyozas and chicken karaage. Both were delicious, and I particularly loved how the karaage was perfectly crispy. For the ramen, we went with the Medium Blaze with pork. The pork was crispy and flavorful, which I really enjoyed. That said, we didn't quite love the ramen overall. While it wasn't bad, it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. It wasn't as flavorful as some of the other ramen spots we frequent, and I didn't taste any spice in the broth despite it being advertised as spicy. The noodles were decent but nothing to write home about. I'd recommend Silver Lake Ramen to anyone just getting into ramen or looking for a more approachable option, but for us, it's not a place we feel the need to revisit. That said, the service was great--everyone was friendly and attentive--and we didn't have to wait long for our food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus, there's plenty of seating indoors, which is a bonus![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came in for lunch today and was assisted by Yza ! She was quick and extremely helpful.

10/10 will always love coming to any silver lakes. Personal my fav ones are in fashion valley and at UTC. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They're pretty quick to serve food as well and that's especially a plus since it's been cold lately; It's always nice and cozy inside too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always get the blaze mild and the chicken karaage. The buns are pretty good as well. If you're ever at La Jolla UTC area, I recommend trying it out! It's by the food court next to Starbucks read more

This was my first time here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very clean and I like the asthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For apps, we ordered the gyoza abs that was very fresh and tasty. My boss and I ordered the regular size pork bowl with jalapeño. It was so good and the jalapeño had the right amount of heat. My boss also ordered a coke but he never received it. My coworker ordered the Blaze ramen mills and she finished the whole thing. We were stuffed by the end of our meal! I would come back but the game name isn't something I would remember. I'm very happy I now know that this place exists and where to park. read more

Came here with some friends/colleagues for lunch, we have never been, and this looked like a good selection from the food court area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In walking in, the restaurant was clean, getting a seat was rather quick as was the ordering process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We each ordered a combo meal. The tonkatsu ramen was decent, the broth was not as thick and rich as I prefer, but still have a good taste to it, the chasu pork was cooked well as were the eggs. The appetizer gyoza was pretty commonplace as was the Karaage Chicken, did not dislike either but did not feel that either would be a good standalone meal. read more

Food was pretty good- blaze ramen and pork bun. When I asked about the lemonade they said it was handmade...... um when you can taste the granulated contents it's not handmade. LOL. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was trendy like a tiktok video.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was nice except for overselling the lemonade. read more

Located inside UTC mall. Fast service, our food came out within 10 minutes after placing the order. Our host was pretty friendly and nice. Staff were quick with bringing over the food & our side requests. Noise level here was pretty loud, music in the background and customers chatting. Clean restaurant. It was busy when we arrived; plenty of tables and seats. We ordered the combo $19 for ramen and an appetizer. We both went with the Blaze spicy Tonkotsu, fried dumplings and spicy chicken karaage. Our food was pretty good! Ramen was a 8 out of 10, karaage was my favorite! It was crispy and had great flavor. read more

At the entrance of the food court in UTC, my friend and I each ordered a Combos$20.5, which included one ramen and one appetizer--a pretty good value. The ramen I chose was shoyu on fire. It didn't taste like traditional Japanese ramen, more like regular noodle, but the broth was very creamy, and I really enjoyed the flavor. For the appetizer, we had fried chicken and pan-fried dumplings, which were nothing special. read more

After arriving at Westfield University Town Center in San Diego on an early Saturday evening, we had to pick a place to eat at. There were many choices to choose from. My brother found Silverlake Ramen. How did he know I was thinking of the same spot? Good picking Brother... thank you for the early evening dinner treat! It wasn't too busy at the time we first got here, but sure enough, a stampede of people came in after us. My girls always says Mommy attracts business LOL. We were a party of 7 and there was an empty table waiting just for us right up front. I have been to the Silverlake Ramen at Chino Hills a couple times and I liked their ramen. I was more impressed with this Silverlake Ramen's ramen than the other one. I got the combo with the Blaze Ramen mild spice and their handmade fried gyoza for one great price. OMG... the pork belly was tender moist mouth watering from entry down to the tummy LOL. It was just deliciously delicious! Gyozas were crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. Yummy! My daughters got the combo, too, ramen, but with different appetizers such as chicken karaage and pork bun. This was my brother and his family's first time at Silverlake Ramen. They loved it, too. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Service was good with the exception of one chicken karaage that took longer than the other chicken karaage. Prices were reasonable. Ambiance was inviting and comfortable. All in all, a wonderful and delicious experience. Kid you not, just thinking about the pork belly, I want to go back now and get some more of their amazing foods! You ready? I'll see you here LOL. read more

Came here for a quick lunch - they have a lunch special which comes with a ramen of your choice and an appetizer. I went for the Shoyu on fire with chicken karaage The portions were perfect, enough to make me comfortably full. Service was quick and the restaurant is clean and spacious. The only reason for 1 star off this review would be the ramen broth, it was more on the oily and salty side. read more

The BEST spicy garlic edamame I've ever had. The right level of kick along with a creamy, almost sweet taste. Also warmed just right. I also had a chicken bun. The first one had TOO much kick on the first bite but things settled down after that. Overall, it was so good I ordered a second. Tonkotsu ramen was excellent so says my daughter. read more
