Silverlake Ramen

came here after getting tattooed at mantle around the corner, the artist recommended here for food. it was the middle of the day on a sunday so we sat wherever and were served quickly after! the ramen is juicy and warm with full flavored broth, not too spicy but just enough to give pause. i’d totally come back here if i lived in town.

If I could give this place negative stars, I absolutely would. This was hands down the worst service I’ve ever experienced. I was so excited to eat here after church, especially since all the other Silverlake Ramen locations have been great. But from the moment we walked in, it was a disaster. We had a party of six, and the hostess told us only three of us could sit at a table—which was bizarre, but we went along with it. This location also requires prepayment, which is fine, but when three of us tried to order on the same ticket, she refused and said we all had to order on the same ticket because she was going to add gratuity. I explained that didn’t make sense since we were being split up and weren’t receiving any real service. That’s when she got rude and told me she wouldn’t serve me because I was “rude”—all because I called her out on her unprofessional behavior. I was having an amazing day, and she completely killed the vibe. Now that I’m reading other reviews, I see I’m not the only one who’s had this exact same experience. Silverlake Ramen, I really hope you read this. By keeping someone like this employed, you’re allowing negative energy to thrive in your space. She’s using your business to spread bad vibes in the community—and that’s not okay.

I had the worst experience at Silverlake Ramen DTLA, and it’s clear that management is allowing blatant scamming to happen here. From the moment we walked in, the woman in charge had a terrible attitude—just straight rude with bad energy. She was dismissive, unhelpful, and seemed irritated from the start. Then came the scamming tactics. First, she claimed their credit card machine was down, forcing us to either pay in cash or use their online ordering system. Conveniently, later on, she suddenly said the machine was working—but now we had to prepay for our order before even being served. I’ve been to multiple Silverlake Ramen locations, and this is NOT a policy at any of them. Then, when my party of six tried to sit together, she refused and made us sit at separate tables. Fine. But when we told her we’d be paying separately, she changed the rules again and insisted we all had to pay under one tab because of yet another so-called “policy” that doesn’t exist anywhere else. When we called her out on all these inconsistencies, she immediately played the victim, claiming we were being “disrespectful” and that she had already been yelled at twice that day. Honestly? Not surprised. When you lie and manipulate customers, of course, people are going to be frustrated. At this point, it was obvious she was making things up as she went, trying to manipulate customers into whatever was most convenient for her. Looking at other reviews, I see this isn’t the first time she’s done this, and I’m beyond disappointed that Silverlake Ramen corporate hasn’t stepped in to stop it. If you’re considering coming to this location—DON’T. There are plenty of great ramen spots in LA that won’t lie to your face, give you attitude, and make up fake policies to scam you out of your money.

I'm always dreaming of their rice bowls, whether it's the pork belly or the chicken karaage. I sure enjoy the ramen, but definitely, my weak spot is the fried gyoza and the chicken karaage bowls. Honestly, I have tried everything at least one in how often I come here.

Great ramen. Love the spicy version. The seasoned egg is usually done perfect. Been here several times and will be back several more. I've tried nothing but ramen here. 🤤🍜 Not even sure what else they might serve. 😆 They also have a dine-in special for $20.50 a choice of a bowl of ramen and an appetizer

I stopped by a few days ago. This was my first time eating the ramen from this restaurant. Placed an order through the Google maps option. Ordered the crispy rice and the vegetarian ramen. Went in to pick it up, waiting time was not too long. Shay had all my stuff ready with the sauces and seasonings I’d requested. She was super nice and accommodating. The restaurant is closed to inside dining so I’ll just rate the food. The crispy rice was delicious but only came with two pieces lol for the price I was expecting maybe three or four, but I guess the area is pricey. The vegetarian ramen was okay. The broth could have been tastier or more seasoned. The amount of noodles and vegetables was really generous so that was amazing! Overall the taste was okay, the service is good. I’d maybe come here again after sampling some other ramen joints in the area.

Delicious ramen and small bites to accompany! Recently they started serving tables so you can order from where you choose to sit. If you dine in, they have a $20 special where you can pick one of their listed ramen and also get an appetizer. I got their classic tonkotsu ramen with pork belly and my kid loved the noodles. The broth was thick and creamy. Had a hint of sweet corn to it, absolutely divine. We tried their chicken karage and fried dumplings. Thank you for providing a generous amount of spicy Mayo dipping sauce. The egg they add to ramen is cooked to perfection with a soft center. The egg whites are savory too, it takes time and patience to make that happen! We saw lots of people ordering to-go. The outdoor seating area made a great place for my kid because he could run around the enclosed area. They have sake and beers to enjoy too!

This is My Son's Favorite Spot! I get the Chicken Karagge Bowl. I order my Chicken Crunchy. Comes with Rice, Chicken and all the Garnishing. Tonight we tried the Churros and Icecream! So tasty!!! There's a nice filling in the center of each churro. Although a Very Busy Night of customers, they took care of Us and Asked how we were doing! Love the service. Thank you SilverLake Ramen for always 💖 greeting us with a smile & showing great hospitality with our Yummy Meals! Much love from, Mother & Son
