Ramen of York by Silverlake Ramen

Decent ramen with great service. I got the Blazing Spicy ramen which is not exactly spicy. You can ask for a milder option. The shoyu is pretty good too. The place is pretty small with outdoor seating.

Finding a Japanese food place, let alone a good one, in this area can be a bit difficult, but Ramen of York smashed it out of the park. The salad was a little heavy with the dressing, but the ramen was full-flavored and rich, and the karaage rice bowl surprised me with how crispy the chicken was and how gelatinous the rice was (my personal preference). I definitely will return. There isn't any parking, but it's within walking distance for me, so that's not an issue in my case.

Let me start with this FIVE STARS TO CHRIS. He is an excellent server with amazing customer service skills. He gave me helpful advice in what to add to my Ramen, that was a game changer. He treated me like family even though it was the first time I was there. I felt so happy with the food and his service that day that I tipped him $10 with my card. After that experience and new flavors added, I wanted to go back and experience the same thing. However, this time there was a young woman serving. When I asked for the amazing Black oil and garlic, she brought me just the black oil, no garlic. I then asked for the garlic and she first said there was no garlic paste, and that was it. I then asked for fresh diced garlic, she said oh! That’s going to be $1.75 more… I said, ok… she then brought me a HUGE portion of garlic on a small dish. I told her, that I didn’t want that much garlic. Only a few pinches. I mentioned that Chris has got me into this new flavor but she said, on no he is very helpful but we change for that. She then started talking in spanish about how Chris make her look bad because he gives things away. TO BE HONEST, Chris made me feel like home, expanded my pallet in food introducing me to a new flavor i didn’t know existed and made me want to come for more. The second time, i felt like I was just a wallet not a patron or a guest. I write because sometimes jealousy in the work place is not healthy and the customers notice. By the way, this time, they did charge me the extra ingredients , which i was not waiting to be free and I didn’t feel like giving more than a dollar as a tip. The moral of the story, treat people like family and you’ll naturally be rewarded. Give off bad vibes or be stingy and you’ll loose customers. Food is great, that’s the only reason I gave a 3 Star review. Cheers!

While the food here is pretty good, if I’m spending ~$20 on a single dish, I expect to be served with reusable dishes. The vibe given off by serving customers with cheap disposable plastic cups when they’re sitting down to eat in a restaurant is not pleasant. I would never take someone here because of that.

I have eaten here a few times now, and it’s pretty good every time. The vegan options always hit the spot. The noodles and broth have gotten way better since 2019 (imo). The Mabo Tofu bowl is also really yummy.

Food Was pretty good! The food was served in 3 minutes and, the ramen was not salty at all but pretty spicy! The belly pork bowls were very good, My friends and I enjoyed eating here! Place was clean and there were NO issues with the food!

My daughter and I got the lunch special with edemame, a bowl, a ramen and added the sesame mochi with red bean and oh was it good. We've never had the red bean before and that was new but oh the ramen was soooo good. And the rice bowl was so bomb. Waiter was so nice. Gave us water in plastic cups to take on the go because it is really hot. A/c was blasting too. Definitely planning to bring my sister, niece and nephew here next time.

Solid ramen place in the middle of everything in highland park. Tried the blaze, (spicy tonkotsu) ramen. Very creamy and rich, not too spicy! Would definitely recommend. Didn’t feel overpriced and was pretty filling. Their rice bowls seemed pretty good too, had a bite of the teriyaki chicken and it was well flavored and tender. Friendly staff and fast service too.
