I stumbled upon this place by accident yesterday, and I'm so glad I did…read more I've been searching for a Japanese ramen shop that serves a clear tonkotsu broth, and this place absolutely nailed it. They offer three versions of their tonkotsu ramen--Clear, Black, and Spicy. Of course, I ordered the Clear. Oh my goodness... this was exactly the ramen I'd been looking for. The broth was crystal clear yet incredibly rich and flavorful without being heavy. The chashu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and not greasy at all. The soft-boiled egg was cooked to perfection with a beautifully jammy yolk. The noodles reminded me of the ramen I had in Japan--simple, authentic, with the perfect texture and firmness. And the shredded green onions on top completely brought the whole bowl together. They added just the right amount of freshness and crunch. Game over. If you're looking for authentic Japanese ramen with a clean, flavorful broth, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back.

This was my second time at Maru Ramen, and it definitely lived up to the first. I ordered the spicy…read moremiso ramen, and it was exactly what I needed. I was fighting a pretty rough hangover, and this bowl honestly brought me back to life. The broth was rich, full of flavor, and the spice level was just right. It had a nice kick without overpowering everything else. The first time I came here, I ordered the chicken karaage. Super crispy, juicy, and easily one of my favorite things on the menu. The restaurant itself is pretty small and cozy, which I liked. One thing to know is that the parking lot entrance is easy to miss if you're driving by on the main street. It's much easier to come in from the little street behind the plaza. If you're in the mood for ramen, I'd absolutely recommend giving Maru a try.

I read the menu, said he would have spinach and bok choy but literally there's just tomatoes, onions and lettuce leaves. , When we talk to the server at two different people to complain about it, they said they would ask the manager nobody ever came back to offer something else or a replacement because I had to drink some of the broth The sushi was decent, but I would prefer to dine at Kura Sushi, where the quality is superior. I ordered for an eel avocado cucumber roll with light rice. Unfortunately, they lack tamari sauce for those with wheat allergies and don't offer gluten-free noodle options. Despite the crowded restaurant, there were four servers wandering around, but we didn't even have the same server throughout our meal. We had four different people come to our table, which was quite confusing at times. I ordered a baked salmon roll to replace the soup It never arrived, and they still attempted to charge us at the end. Finally, we had to ask them to remove it from the menu. I would have loved this place if it had been more accommodating. The ambiance was charming, with a cozy booth and wooden decor throughout. The atmosphere was not too loud, which added to the comfort. However, I was disappointed that they didn't provide gluten-free noodle options. Honestly, I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it fell short of my expectations.

4* Ramen 5* Service…read more4.5* Ambiance Decent ramen with a nice variety of appetizers and drinks. I consider Silverlake Ramen quality fast food ramen, offering appetizers, rice bowls, rolls, and dessert. Classic appetizers such as karaage, gyoza, broccoli, edamame, crispy rice with spicy tuna, and 3 varieties of bun are offered as combo options with Ramen for $20, which is an absolute deal! Best of all, they offer beer, sake, soju, and soft drinks with great music to create a fun vibe. The gyoza is offered both grilled and fried; we ordered the fried, and it was very crispy and filling. The crispy rice tuna was very fresh, crispy, spicy, and flavorful. We enjoyed it and it was perhaps the best item we had all together. We ordered their veg and blaze ramen. The veg had lettuce, broccolini, avocado, corn, mushrooms, and tofu. It was incredibly filling, but unfortunately, it was very salty and difficult to finish. The Blaze ramen was much more flavorful, and we were able to enjoy it much more. Although it appears as if the storefront is on Van Nuys, it is in the back with plenty of parking.

Who knows maybe they're short staffed which happens. The creamy broth def slaps tho. So good.

I went the second time and this time I asked for the same Sushi roll.

I just don't think they prepared my order correctly. I know everyone is a human and we make mistakes. But I just hope this won't a happen again.

The restaurant is small and intimate and has a small parking lot. We were able to find street parking right in front. There were a few people dining when we got there.

Especially one open very late most nights! So many times after a long late work day I had no options for food, having a gluten allergy and being vegan, so now this is where I can go and expect a nearly perfect ramen every time. The no. 10 ramen (that has no broth) is my favorite. The ramen with broth is on the thicker side, and every type is good. They kinda all taste very similar to be honest. But even for people that eat meat, all the flavor is still present in the broth and ingredients. The atmosphere is also very nice and dark, with a decent amount of seats and nice background music playing, no annoying top 40 stuff. Always some nice electronic music that isn't too energetic or too sleepy. Sometimes there can be loud people but that really can't be helped in todays culture unfortunately, especially LA. I do wish they had more caffeine free drink options. Maybe some liquid death sodas, la crouix, or lemonade options would go well with the ramen or rolls! **The only other thing to keep in mind is that they tend to stop serving within a half hour of closing and sometimes they close early, might be best to order ahead or call if you intend on coming by around closing time, I was very disappointed two times because of this. ** Also, there is a shared lot and usually open spots on the street too. I recommend parking on the street as the parking lot can be a bit chaotic.
