    Crispy Rice w Spicy Tuna
    Julianne C.

    Great overall experience. The staff was very nice, the restaurant was clean and the food tasted fresh with great flavors! The crispy spicy tuna was a great appetizer treat with that warm crispy rice and cold spicy tuna and eel sauce, YUM!! The Blaze Ramen we ordered at medium heat and it was just the right amount of spice. The flavors of the broth were a delight and the chicken tasted fresh. I will be back for more soon!!

    Stopped into Silverlake Ramen before a comedy show @ Tempe Improv. Restaurant is super clean and modern. You order at a kiosk and seat yourself. We ordered 2 combos which is a ramen bowl with an appetizer. I had the fried gyoza that came with spicy mayo. Really flavorful and the mayo packed a good amount of heat. For my bowl I chose the classic w/ chicken and added bean sprouts, fresh garlic and an egg. The broth was delicious and not overly salty. Ingredients were super fresh and our food came out quickly. It was the perfect choice for a quick stop before the show. I'd definitely return to Silverlake Ramen!

    Garlic Truffle ramen

    2nd time coming to Silverlake Ramen in Tempe. 1st time was in February and 2nd time yesterday. I knocking off one star because they took the Happy Hour menu and I feel that the server could have done a better job comparing the large vs. small bowl. However, the food was good. Loved the ramen when I got it in Feb. The chicken karaage was just okay, and I honestly thought the bowl would be a bit bigger. My friend got the dumplings, which were nothing special, but it's still good. My other friend got the Truffle Garlic ramen which she loved. The pork bun was delish! I'd get that again. The place is more of a family-friendly, chill ramen spot. Spacious eating area, so you won't really have to wait long for a table. If you like getting appetizers, do the ramen combo. You get a bowl and an appetizer for $20, which I think is a good deal!

    It is so genuinely baffling how difficult it is to ruin a delivery order but this silverlake location just happens to know how to ruin an experience. I ordered via uber eats and had my driver deliver this to me. Despite ordering with utensils, my order didn't come with a single one. How does that make any sense when I ordered RAMEN?????? To make it even better, they didn't properly secure the bag. The poor driver had ramen broth leaking in her car and all throughout the bag, so much so that when she finally came up to deliver it to me IT FELL ON THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BROTH WHATSOEVER. SO THANKS. Not only did I wait nearly 80 minutes for this to be made and delivered to me, but by the time it physically arrived the broth had leaked all the way through the bag that it broke the bag and spilled all of its contents on the floor. Fantastic. Absolutely will never recommend this location for how incompetent they are.

    The ramen was super flavorful & the service was fast! Great for a quick dinner! Loved the tuna crispy rice as well!

    Silverlake is a wholesome and easygoing Japanese restaurant that serves comforting bites such as crispy karaage chicken, beautifully seasoned ramen, and much more. I love bringing friends and family to have a great lunch/dinner out and to walk around the area after. Flavorful broth from the Shoyu on Fire, just make sure to choose a spice level you can handle (2-3 is great for most I'd assume)! Their ramen and side deal for 20$ is amazing if you want to get filled up. Definitely recommend extra protein if you can eat a lot. Great vibes and amazing staff that guide you through the self-order process but still keep an eye on you during service.

    Food is soo amazing I love eating here its the best ramen place ive been to in the state

    Ordering was easy as the options were straightforward and through the kiosk. There were a lot of options for extra toppings and the selection of ramen was small but had all the important and common ones. They had a ramen and side combo that I think is a solid deal and could save a few bucks while being able to try two things. Food came out pretty fast and in good portions! I love the noodle type and think the soup is actually one of the best I've had in Tempe ramen places. Would recommend it! Staff was friendly when asked for extra napkins and the place was quite big with plenty of seating for eating in. A must get is the chicken Karaage as it was juicy and crispy!

    1000/10 this place is legit! Please don't pass this place up, I promise they are worth it. Food quality was perfect, the portion was out of this world, and our waitress was great! Food came out quick & hot!

    Silver lake ramen is one of my favorite ramen spots to go! The garlic truffle ramen is very rich in flavor and everything I look for in a good bowl of ramen. The ambience is casual dining, you order at a kiosk in the front and then pick a table and the food will be brought to you. The price is fair for what you pay for. Overall I definitely recommend this place to fellow ramen enthusiasts!

    The ramen and karaage chicken were tasty, but the service was incredibly slow. It seemed like the restaurant was understaffed, we waited a long time just to place our order, and even longer for the food to arrive. We ended up spending over an hour there, most of it just waiting. While our server was friendly, one of our friends didn't get her food until the rest of us were nearly finished eating. As good as the food was, the experience was frustrating, and it's hard to justify the wait when there are other spots nearby that are just as delicious and far more efficient.

    Curry tofu bowl
    Elizabeth H.

    The ramen was just okay- very americanized. I've never seen avocado in ramen, and it was quite strange. Not too much depth of flavor for the broth. The second time I went they were out of vegetarian broth entirely and the only other vegetarian option they had was mushroom curry, which I couldn't eat due to a very mild mushroom allergy. I was able to try a few bites and wasn't impressed. Flavorless, raw tofu is a no. Very disappointing. The chefs clearly dont care about the quality of the vegetarian meals. The interior is kind of cool, and the servers were nice and apologetic, but there really wasn't much to be done about the food situation. Ramen Kagawa downtown Phoenix is infinitely better.

    Stopped by Silverlake Ramen with my son for a late lunch and hit their Happy Hour (3 PM to 6 PM)--great timing! Our server was super nice and friendly, which added to the experience. The restaurant is spacious, though the layout feels a bit odd. We ordered the combo and a couple of hand rolls from the Happy Hour menu. The food was fine--nothing amazing, but nothing to complain about either. Overall, it's a decent spot for a quick bite, especially if you're in the area during Happy Hour.

The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

First of all, we walked in just before 8pm last night (Friday) and although there were quite a few patrons, we were still seated right away. There were no individual tables, so we sat at the long communal table in the center. The service always wonderful! Prompt and courteous. 10/10 there. My fella got their Miso ramen and I got their Tonkotsu. My dish was exactly what I wanted - flavorful, hot, and a plentiful portion (so plentiful I took 3/4ths of the meal home). I will say that it was pretty warm inside the restaurant, so the only thing that could have made the experience better is if they had turned the AC on higher. All in all, I will 100% be back. This was a great experience with awesome service and wonderful food.

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had.

The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26
