    Classic mini ramen, pork bowl and edamame lunch special
    Amy H.

    I normally don't dine in places that's inside a shopping center. Especially for ramen, I find that authentic spots are usually a hold in the wall. But I was here doing some shopping and got hungry and was pleasantly surprised to find a good spot! At lunch they have a lunch special for $15 that includes an appetizer which you can choose edamame or salad, a mini ramen, and a rice bowl! I felt that was such a good value since just their ramen alone is ~$18-20. I have a small appetite but love variety so this worked out! I ate all the edamame, which had truffle taste to it. I think maybe they use a course truffle salt. Finished The mini ramen and I took a couple bites of the rice bowl and had so much leftover for dinner! Two meals for $15 + tip, worth it! Everything was flavorful, ingredients tasted fresh, service was efficient, the place was clean and no wait during lunch.

    The food was terrific!!! Great portions for a decent price. I had the pork gyoza, shoyu ramen, garlic truffle ramen. The atmosphere is very trendy and chill. Lastly, the restroom was spotless which is always a bonus. I truly fell in love and am sad I don't live near the area or else I would be here weekly.

    the ambience was so nice!! it was chill and there was no loud music playing so we could talk normally. also the service was great! our server was so thoughtful; we were crying about me moving out and he was very sweet about it. additionally, the food definitely one to eat again. i would recommend this place to other people, and make sure you order the creamy broccolini!!

    Silverlake Ramen you haven't failed me yet! Second location I've tried and I genuinely enjoyed the food once again. Staff was quick to greet us and take our orders. The food came out super quick we were shocked. The ramen was as good as ever and we tried the chicken for the first time and WOW. So crispy and juicy. Really enjoyed paired with the sauce. A lowkey place to eat if you're in the shopping center.

    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 * Ambiance: it's a nice, modern ramen restaurant!

    My favorite ramen ever!! I drive 40 min every week just to eat this ramen haha it's so flavorful!

    Amazing service & food. The servers were all hardworking, attentive and cute, especially Ace, Francis, Daph and Charles.

    I absolutely love the food there, I have been a loyal customer for a year now and never get tired of it. The Truffle Ramen is my absolute fav. The service is always 10/10, my server Justin always has the best attitude and remembers my order. This restaurant is amazing and I always bring my friends to try it out!

    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.

    Blaze
    Tito R.

    Not bad. Had the blaze and it was spicy. One of the better ramen at UTC . Will definitely have it again.

    We celebrated my cousin's birthday at Silverlake, with 40+ in our family.

    We had a birthday celebration with 40+ in our family. Ace and the rest of the staff were very proficient in serving our food. Food was served on time and it has always been good food. Good job to the manager, Jason!

    Crispy Rice w Spicy Tuna

    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.

Honestly hard to find a place with so many choices and very reasonable pricing. My most recent visit I saw that the menu was changed completely and that they were serving tori paitan. I never had it before so I had to try it and it was delicious! You still get a very similar mouth feel of a creamy tonkotsu ramen, but it just doesn't sit as heavy. I think scrapping a menu that they've had for years is a bold move, but I see the vision. They're bringing a different style of ramen that you won't really find anywhere else here in San Diego. Would highly recommend being open minded and giving it a shot. Also would recommend ordering it with hard thin noodles. Workers are also always very friendly and knowledgeable about the sake so definitely ask for a recommendation to pair with your food.

We are typically sat and served right away, and inside is very cute and clean. A bowl of their ramen will never do you wrong and we are a sucker for their appetizers as well.

I guess we're used to other tonkotsu ramen tastes, more seasoned than this one. Chashu pork was overcooked and too lean. Not a big fan of their ramen toppings. Noodles were good. 4/5 RakiRaki Bento Box - great portion. Gyoza, Takoyaki, RakiRaki roll were all good. Karaage was just crispy, missing seasoning, it was just bland. I guess adding salt and pepper before breading or with the breading probably makes taste better. 4/5 Staff were attentive and nice. Will try their other ramen if we ever comes back and hoping for a better taste experience Parking was still good at 1055 a.m. but when we were done around 11:45 a.m., cars were waiting for parking. Complimentary 2 hrs parking when doing business at this plaza.

It hurts to say it was mid. The rice bowl was okay but the chicken didnt have too much flavor and i feel like the rice to chicken ration was a little off. For the rakiraki roll, there was just too much rice. When you look at the rolls sure theyre big but its mainly rice. I think for the price, you could go somewhere else for better rolls. The other one had too much cream cheese too. All i tasted was rice and cream cheese. The staff were very friendly and attentive though. We didnt notice that we had dropped something on the floor and one of them picked it up for us. The restaurant itself is nice but as introverts, the two seater tables are very close to each other. Its fine though I understand the need to maximize space. Overall I would come back for their ramen but I probably wont get the rolls or rice bowl again.

We went around 2pm (weekday) so it wasn't crowded at all, we got seated right away (if you come around lunch or dinner time, expect a wait). Weekdays they are open 11am-2.30pm and then re-open from 5pm-9pm, Sat & Sun 11am-9pm It's not too big, but there's seating inside and out. Since she's never been here before she wanted to try their signature ramen so we got the Tonkotsu with pork belly (we shared since she wasn't very hungry) and gyozas. The broth is very rich and flavorful and the pork belly was fatty and very tasty (exactly how I like it). She really liked the gyozas with the crispy skirt... although she said they were a bit "small". I've been here a few times and have also tried the spicy and black king ramen and loved all of them. The flavors are all different but all rich and very good. Their ramen is good perfectly, soft and with a little bounce. I would say this is one of 2 of my favorite ramen places so far!! And it's super convenient if you are shopping around UTC. They have a beautiful koi pond to enjoy if you are sitting outside or waiting in line.

You get an order form to customize your own Ramen. I chose the thin noodles which were good but the thick noodles is where its at. Fresh and with a slight chew and not starchy!! Also tried the Spicy Ramen - Red King - which had a meatball which I would describe as a bulgogi meatball. Very good. The broth is red and can be as spicy as you choose!!! Service was fast and friendly. The inside is nicely decorated Japanese style and very small similar to Japan. All in all, Nagi is in my top 3 and I will continue to search out the best Ramen in SD.
