E.A.K. RAMEN & SUSHI ROLL

I almost don’t want to give this place away, but it’s the best ramen joint in town. And it’s the best looking ramen in town, too. Each bowl served is worthy of an Instagram post. Beer, wine, soju and sake are served here. You can sit up at the ramen bar or at the comfortable tables. Highly recommend making a reservation if you are definitely eating ramen that day. I was really grateful how flexible they were with our reservation. We made it for 7, and called at 6:45 to let them know we would be more around 7:30 and they were super accommodating. Plenty of street parking out front. You can bring your dogs here as long as you remain in their outdoor patio in the back with the cozy fire pits. My favorite is the spicy ramen, with the fresh garlic and onion on the side. Expect to pay $20/person for a bowl of ramen and a drink or a side dish. Ramen noodles are thick. Gluten free noodles available alongside lots of vegan options 😊 I wish my egg was more soft boiled but that’s my preference 💁🏻‍♀️

Came in for a quick meal before going to Malibu. And was very satisfied. The waiter was very attentive and a sure me the food wont take long. The menu wasn’t complicated very user friendly. They even have specials for happy hour. The day i went was on a weekday around 4ish. Try the E.A.K shoyu it kinda taste like chicken noodle soup a little.

Really nice restaurant with friendly attentive service, bespoke decoration and beautiful broth. The noodles are really delicious and they have nice appetizers too. Only downside is I asked for extra soup and the soup they gave me was overly salty.

Took a cheat day off keto & ate here with my Japanese boyfriend! He works close by and alway comes here! We ordered the karage chicken (his favorite) fries, and the E.A.K Ramen! I got the the Sexy Strawberry drink also! It was all so delicious and I would eat here again. Happy hour is the best and the prices are affordable overall!

My kid had the eak ramen with Naruto. I had the hot and spicy ramen. And we split an order of goyza. Roman broth is delicious you can tell it's a slow simmer broth bone broth. Very rich very tasty noodles may be handmade, very delicious quality. Dumplings were pork and Ginger and were exceptionally good. It was a chilly evening but a well heated roofed patio area was lovely. And made for a great break in the pandemic and restaurant closures.

The food looks good and promising. I would have probably rated this restaurant a solid 4 or 5 stars, but my personal experience was horrible. We had a waiter that never seemed to look over at our table no matter how much we tried to get his attention, and there are only choices of a chicken and pork broth mix and vegetarian broth. So if you can't eat pork and want meat, this isn't the place. On top of that, my meal came with a dead fly that I dug out of it! They refused to refund my girlfriends meal because she didn't want to eat it after seeing that fly. (Understandably so since we basically ordered the same thing.) I ended up just paying for my drink and leaving because there's no way I'm paying for a meal like that, and their service was not what you expect when you go out to eat. Not coming back.

Good ramen place on Melrose. Excellent drink options both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The ramen had pork and chicken broth. The thick noodle was chewy without being chalky. Good variety of other Japanese snacks/appetizers. Smaller portions.

Great option for iekei ramen. The soup and noodles are excellent, the chashu is good but I found it too tender and didn't hold it's shape as a result. The ajitama was okay; the whites we're harder than they should've been. The sides and appetizers were delicious too.
