The Ramen Joint

Overall, good, but not my favorite. It’s entirely personal, but I prefer more depth and savory ramen. The broth and seasoned egg had a hint of sweetness that I wasn’t crazy about. It reminded me of the sweetness that sake-marinated chicken has. The chashu was okay, not a lot of flavor aside from the broth on it, but it was tender and melted. The noodles themselves were good. We also tried the spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer, which was really good. Spicy, but worth it. Service was a bit spotty. We were seated, and eventually someone came by and said she’d be right with us, and then disappeared for about 10 minutes. We ended up putting in our with someone else. It was a rainy day, so the place was busy inside.

Great little ramen shop my wife had killer spicy veggie ramen and I had a braised pork rice bowl. Super generous portions service was on point and super fast. Highly recommend if you are killing time before a flight check this place out Came back with the family a second time, she got the same my son got the praises pork bowl, this time I had a pork and a chicken Bao Bun and my daughter had Shoi Chicken Ramen all previous comments hold. Now with photos of the deliciousness

Today i had my dinner in this restaurant, food is delicious. I really enjoy it. Thannk you guys

The Mog Champ sends his regards. Saw this reputable ramen place on Google Maps and decided to give this a try for dinner! They were as good as everyone said online. We ordered the mazemen and shoyu tonkotsu. Service was both quick and friendly, we entered just before the restaurant got busy as well. They have Japanese/anime decorations on the walls and menu too which is cute. Thanks for the dinner, Ramen Joint! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

This is now our spot when we want to eat before catching a flight at LAX! This little gem is tucked away on a rare street lined with trees adorned with white lights. It’s cozy, and if you’re a cat lover, you’re in for a treat with Japanese kitty decor. Walking in feels like you’re at a friend’s place having you over for ramen. Now to the food… the menu is solid for ramen variety and the apps don’t disappoint either. We started with calamari served w a spicy aioli, and chicken karagé that was light and crispy. The ramen 🍜 was excellent! We had the spicy shoyu tonkatsu (pork) ramen, and the chicken ramen. Both had a rich and flavorful broth, soft, perfectly chewy noodles and that hallmark soft boiled egg. I’d be remissed not to share that the chicken ramen wasn’t just a couple of slices of chicken atop ramen. It was melt in your mouth slow braised chicken (like carnitas texture). Super tender and delicious for a non-pork-eater like me. Eat here. You won’t be disappointed and can taste the time and care they put into their menu. The chef and server were also warm, friendly, and attentive. Thank you, See you next time!

Pork in the ramen is a bit too fat, unlike usual chashu in Japanese ramen. The spicy tuna rice bowl is unexpectedly wonderful. Braised pork fries is different from expectations but is great. Overall great, will come again.

We were here last Sunday evening (not too busy and were seated right away at the bar counter) and had their classic Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen (spicy). I wish I liked it more than I did, but our party of 3 didn’t find the ramen really tasteful or savory - but that’s okay. Having lived in SGV and eaten in places like Tsujita, Koppan, HiroNori, Kai Ramen, etc. spoiled it for me. Of note, the pork chashu passes in taste and texture, and was probably the best part overall. We also shared the pork belly fries, but adding a nacho cheese sauce on it kinda throws it off, in our opinion. Staff was courteous though, and the ramen affordable considering how much eating out has skyrocketed.

We were at a hotel near LAX and wanted a good dinner. Reviews on restaurants from Google Maps were raving about this place. They absolutely were on point. Ramon Joint is a small restaurant with Asian styled food. Prices are very reasonable, however, the taste is off the charts a huge WOW!! I could eat there again and again. My wife had the Shoyu Chicken, and I ordered a dish called Mazamen. It was SO tasty. Dinner for two ran about $45 including the tip, and was worth every single cent I paid. The service was also outstanding. Their food is seriously addicting ♥️ Again, it isn’t a fancy place, and somewhat basic, but it was perfect for us. They have vegetarian options, seafood options, rice dishes, etc

I love this Ramen place in Westchester and not because it saves me 30-45 minutes from driving to Sawtelle Blvd. Ambiance: Small but well organized, outdoor Al Fresco seating is available with heating lamps, bar seating next to the chef so you can watch your food getting prepared. Food: Great, tasty, comforting Ramen. Love the broth and the noodles. Service: Fast and efficient. Super polite and also no frills. They get your order, feed you, and make sure your water glass is full.

The food was good, but the hostess here was SO aggressive for no reason. From the minute we walked in, we immediately faced the brunt of her terrible mood and she continued to take it out on us, other customers, and her fellow staff. After we put our name down, we waited in the front for a table and she yelled at us to get out, even though it was cold and raining outside. Mind you, no other party after was told this. We come back after our table is ready and she sits us at the bar, even though parties behind us were seated at tables. Then she continues to huff and puff, roll her eyes, stomp around, and generally just have her stank attitude ruin everyone's mood in the joint. I'm really hoping it wasn't a race thing (we were all east/south Asian) because again, this is a ramen joint, but we're truly stumped at who or what pissed in her cheerios. Maybe my husband looked like an ex? Maybe my friend reminded her of her childhood bully? Who knows. The other front house staff member was incredibly sweet though. Maybe she sensed the hostess was being unreasonable and felt bad, but we appreciated it! More of her and less of the other gal please. It's a bad idea to have such a sour puss be the first face you see in a restaurant.

Stopped by here around lunchtime and it was a pretty easy place to walk into. There's a large parking lot nearby, which definitely makes things more convenient. The service was fast and friendly, no complaints there. We tried the Shoyu Tonkatsu Ramen. It was good, but nothing that really stood out to us. The meat texture wasn't the best and the noodles seemed undercooked, so it wasn't as satisfying as we'd hoped. The Pork Miso Ramen was similar- good, but not anything to write home about. We also tried the Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl, and we were a bit disappointed that it was more like tuna paste on top rather than actual chunks of tuna. It could be a decent spot if you're in the area, but nothing we'd go out of our way for.

Came here after the new year before our flight back to Seattle. Personslly, I was not impressed with the food but also wasn't disappointed.. I had the pork miso ramen. 1 buddy ordered the shoyu.. he literally took 1 or 2 bites and walked out. According to him, the broth was meh. They might have even used the wrong noodles on his particular dish. Regardless, he was not a fan. Idk if we would eat here again as it's just an overpriced ramen spot where the flavors won't wow you. The cucumber salad thing was a nice contrast to the broth.

This place is just amazing!!!! I ordered the Shoyu Tonkotsu and the Bao buns. One chicken karaage and pork. The ramen was full of flavor and I ordered the spiciest level, but I can handle a lot of spice so it wasn't too much to handle. But the spice was amazing. The bao was so good. Chicken was juicy and pork was so flavorful. I would definitely order again. The service was good. Me and my group sat outside because it was such a beautiful day. So I do love when restaurants when they have an outdoor patio. Next time I'm near the area I will be back! This place is a 10/10

Stopped by this nice shop during a small drive out. Sat outdoors with a heater nearby and string lights strung above me. Both the gyoza and the spring roll were nice and goes well with the sauces provided. The crispy tuna rice was also good, but mine were a little too cooked, making it really chewy and, sometimes, hard to bite into. Haven't had shoyu ramen in a while, so this was a good time to try it again. The broth was very rich and really packed a lot of flavor, but a little salty even for my taste (and I mean I LOVE salt). Overall, still a solid ramen restaurant, just had some inconsistencies at the time.

Cute shop in a lovely area! They have indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio area. The ramen is good, but I wish they had more options, especially for vegetarians. Service was nice & fast. Would come back here for a cute, local ramen stop!

I LOVE this place!!! It's a small place, but they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a small counter that you can sit at. I've been here multiple times and will be back again. The ramen was great. We asked for level 3 spicy, and it didn't disappoint, even had me sweat a little. The ramen left us very satisfied. My favorite thing on the menu has to be the karaage bao buns, I make sure to order them every time I come in. I wish they offered a karaage rice bowl, I would order 2 of those! Anyway in regard to service, now that can be hit or miss. Sometimes service is 5 stars and other times it's very lack luster. The food is always good tho and that's what keeps me coming back. Parking is a little weird. There are times when you can park very close to the restaurant and other time you have to park at the lot and take a short walk (less than 2 minutes). Parking is free!!

I'll break down this review into three parts on my own personal experience at this restaurant. Food: in terms of the meal, I ordered a tonkatsu ramen, calamari, and spicy tuna bowl(small). Tonkatsu ramen was good. The noodles were chewy; the broth wasn't too salty nor overwhelming. The additional toppings tasted fresh and added an added bouncy texture to the ramen. However, compared to other ramens I've had in other parts of LA and SD, this cannot rank within my top 5. Why? For me, ramen broth is supposed to be the game winner, the first impression, the part that goes unfinished. However I didn't feel that rich umami kick with the broth. The calamari was spectacular though. It was a good amount of the price and had enough crunch for every chew. I'd for sure return back for the calamari. Now for the spicy tuna bowl, it was honestly disappointing. Like it was literally spicy tuna with rice. Texture was just mushy with mushy. No garlic chips. No add ons. While I admit $10 for it is a "deal" in this inflated economy, it just wasn't spectacular enough for me. Service-wise, while I admit I was a bit hangry at the time, the waiter's manner of dismissing two individuals with a dog was disappointing. While I acknowledge turning away customers is a right by any private business, it could've definitely gone down better than "we have too many customers outside. look!" which left the dog owners and I quite confused. Another instance that left me quite irritated was when an individual in my party had a medical condition that conflicted with certain parts of a dish and requested for such adjustments, the waiter was taken aback and was very firm on the menu. Once again, I respect that every private establishment has their own right to set their own menus and their own customer base, and it was very clear enough to me that they were not willing to be accommodating to their customers.

This place is amazing. It is small, but run very efficiently. Staff is so friendly and they smile all the time. You can tell they love their work. The ambiance is nice and staff engage with all customers .

Stopped in for dinner with my coworker while on a work trip. We were excited for a hot soup on a cold night before we headed back to our hotel, also the convenience of how close the restaurant was to LAX. We were thrilled it wasn't super busy so we were seated right away. Food came out quickly from when we ordered. We each had a bowl of ramen, my coworker ordered the chicken ramen; I got the tonkatsu ramen. Both were delicious and filling. Would come again if I'm back in the area.

On a cold day, Ramen always hits the spot . Decided to come here after dropping off family at LAX. The place is small and but well decorated and they have plenty of outdoor seating with heaters. When I walked inside , I thought I was in a taco shop or Cantina because of the music that was playing, that's was kinda different from the countless Ramen places I've been to. Anywho, The ramen here is good , it does meet the standard of good ramen. If you decide to go all out and get spicy, I'm warning you, it gets spicy! They do offer additional toppings and they come with a charge. It can add up so be careful. Our server was good and kept our cups of water filled.

This place rules - it knows what it is and knocks it out of the park. Staff is amazing - great menu. Our kind of joint. Hidden gem.

Ive eaten ramen in Phila, New Jersey & Anaheim CA, this is by far the best noodle shop I've been to. The mazemen ramen bowl was amazing. Textures and flavors were savory. Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice so rich, im not a spicy fan but enjoyed eating this. My son loved the Fried Shrimp Pops. The overall Vibe was on point. Love smaller type venues that provide authentic food. Love the location being so close to LAX. Kudos!

Solid 3.5/5! We were both really excited to try Ramen Joint during our layover so we walked from the airport (would not recommend bc ++hot and ++pollution from all that fuel with the airport and nearby highway). But we were both craving ramen so it justified the adventure. We both got the shoyu tonkatsu which came with three fatty pieces of pork chashu, woodear mushroom, green onion, half a soft boiled egg, bamboo shoot, and wild perilla seed. We both upgraded to make it "house made spicy" which was not that spicy. Also added bean sprouts for that extra veg and I think it made the dish better. I honestly felt the ramen was just okay! I felt the ratio of noodles to broth was off and I would have liked more broth. We also shared the fried shrimp pops and with the sweet chili they added on the side, it was definitely a favourite! The staff are pretty nice and the washroom is good. There are many tables, two and four seater as well as bar space.

I'm not usually a ramen fan other than my wife's homemade with kimchi but this place was pretty good on a cold day. The flavors were there for sure. I got the miso broth and that was soothing. The service was great and the place was clean.

Delicious ramen close to LAX! Stopped by here before my trip home because we were craving some ramen on a foggy day and man did this not disappoint! The service was amazing and the ramen was so flavorful. I got the chicken and my husband got the tonkatsu and it hit the spot! Would highly recommend and they have outdoor seating too!

Found this place on Yelp and am SO GLAD I did. Best bowl of ramen I've had in my life! I went a little after opening on a weekday. There were already a couple of other diners, and the place filled up quickly. Service was super fast. I sat at the bar, and within 10 minutes of arriving I had ordered and was receiving a steaming bowl of ramen. I went with the veggie miso ramen, adding the homemade spicy sauce and an egg, which was 100% the way to go. The bowl was absolutely heaping, great portion, especially for the price. Honestly, I'd probably pay at least this much in smaller cities. To get these noodles in LA, plus extra toppings for under $20 seems like a great price. The noodles were so soft and cooked perfectly. Great veggies. Primo broth. My nose was watering from the heat of the soup and the spice. The egg added an extra level. I contemplated coming back during my short stay, but ultimately decided to explore other restaurants. Would 100% return if I was back in LA though. Absolutely try it out, especially if you happen to be in the city on a rainy day like I was.

This is a solid ramen spot in the South Bay right by LAX! Honestly I've been meaning to try this spot for years. I got their shoyu ramen and it was really good. Definitely the perfect spot if you're going to the airport or just arrived at LAX!

The Ramen Joint is a cute little spot located 5-10 min away from LAX, which is the best selling point. I found this spot about 10 years ago when I was looking for ramen before a flight and I absolutely loved it! I am a vegetarian and got the singular vegetarian ramen, spicy, and would add a soft boiled egg, which was made to order. I went back today and was honestly disappointed. I got the same thing I got 10 years ago, but noticed this time the soft boiled egg was soy sauce soaked and pre-made and the ramen was lacking in flavor. It made me wonder if it had always tasted like this and I hadn't noticed since my ramen experiences were limited or if the recipe had changed. It wasn't bad by any means and satisfied my ramen craving, but it wasn't special. Something else that threw me off was the staff was very loud and distracting each other constantly from their work. It felt like I was constantly listening to a high school meet up and hang out while trying to enjoy my ramen. Overall, it's decent, but not a spot I will go out of my way to visit.

Solid ramen joint that's not far from LAX, so it's a nice spot to grab dinner before catching a flight (like I did). There's limited seating, so it can get busy fast during peak hours so plan accordingly if you have a flight to get to! There's both street parking and a private lot available, which is nice. They don't take reservations but you can hop on the Yelp waitlist whenever you're ready. I ordered the Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen and it was great! It had thick cuts of chashu, which they finished off with a torch. The broth was flavorful! I also love all the veggies that came in the bowl since it helps offset the heaviness of the meal. All in all, I'd recommend checking out this spot!

Located near LAX, Ramen Joint is a great, local spot for delicious ramen on a cold day! I've been here numerous times before and they have kept their quality consistent over the years but have raised their prices like all restaurants have post pandemic. I typically get the shoyu tonkotsu when I stop by and when I stopped by with my friends recently, I made it spicy for an extra charge and got an egg. It was delicious with chewy noodles that had great texture and the broth was rich and spicy. The egg was perfectly cooked and the chashu was fatty and tender. It does get crowded during normal lunch/dinner hours and I recommend joining the waitlist on the app so you can get in faster. The ambience is pretty lively and chill when you are dining in with music playing and staff working at the bar area. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen and if you are in the area, come check it out!

First tried, Overall not bad. (3.0of 5) V쇼유 돈코츠 라멘 1 -반숙계란 추가, 면사리 추가 Pork Bao Bun 1 V맛3.0(가성비 not bad) 서비스4.0(Kelvin g, 시종일관 밝고 환한 웃음 감사) 위생3.0(위생장갑 사용) 분위기3.0(살짝 일본라멘집 느낌?? ) 화장실2.5(정리정돈 요망. 특히, 보이지 않는 곳) 근처 갈 일 있으면 다시 방문 의사 잇슴. 새우튀김 무척 궁금함. 승승장구 하시길...

This ramen joint is a hidden gem of LA. Parking is ok during the lunch rush. Limited seating so sitting by the bar is mostly you will be there. They have lunch special special of selected ramen with drink. Also got some fried calamari appetizer (forgot the name). Got the tonkatsu while adding other toppings to make it big. Worth the investment to have something fried to go along with the ramen. The ramen is very soft and the broth is rich but not too thick. Service is excellent. Overall, very good and definitely try it out.

The food came out very quick. Quality was cool and the service was nice. Sat outside on the patio. Perfect for the weather. Got Ramen w/ pork added an egg and corn. The broth could have been hotter IMO . Beware of the "Danger" spice level. My son got it and immediately started to tear, snot and turn red.. smh.. but his choice. I got medium and it had plenty of spice where I could still actually enjoy my meal.

Came here on a whim before flying and dam it was good. The lunch deals were really good for the price. It came with the rice bowl, ramen, and drink. There was one that was a little more that even gave an appetizer. It was a lot of food. Solid ramen broth and good noodles as well. They did give a lot of bamboo shoots which I did like but it could be a bit much. They got indoor tables, outdoor tables, and the ramen bar as well. It looks like a ramen spot for sure and you could even see them making your food. Servers were friendly and they got the food out quickly Overall great place.

My wife and I ordered the shoyu tonkatsu and split some loaded fries. It was magnificent! Very savory and well seasoned. I got a level 3 spicy out of 4 and they were just right. I recommend a 1 or 2 for most people. Ernesto took our order and was very professional and attentive. Harry also helped us out and was very polite and professional. The space felt a little grungy and hole in the wall which I love! Not overly manicured.

Aloha, after being on the mainland for 2 weeks was jonesing for something local, ah a ramen shop near Trader Joe's and LAX! The ramen joint was recommended. It was good, it satisfied my crave, and you could add-on items like corn and Kim chee, which can get pricey. I think our lunch was around $45. Food 5 stars, price 3 stars. I have a hard time paying that much for ramen lol. Oh well, I guess we're spoiled in Hawaii. Enjoy!

The ramen was okay, just average. We also ordered fried chicken and the fried shrimp roll. I like the fried chicken but, not impressed with the shrimp rolls. Overall, the food quality and service are over-rated in my opinion. The location of the restaurant was close to the airport which was the reason we decided to give it a try.

Everything was beyond expectations! From the amazing appetizers to the main dishes, everything we ordered was flavorful, presentable and so filling. The service was fast and very welcoming. The restaurant was on the smaller side but they had beautiful seating out doors. I will be returning once I'm back in SoCal! Thank you for the amazing food!

It's been months since we were last here. The prices have increased understandably. However the quick isn't as good as before. Additionally the reason we won't be returning is due to health concerns. There was a girl wearing the same pair of gloves to grab boxes and stock supplies then went to the large pots to strain the broth. With the same gloves the whole time she proceeds to scratch her left arm, then pulls her eye boogers out and scratches her head. Then harry the server was nice but he kept rubbing his nose with the back of his hand a couple times with the pointer and thumb. He also went to pick up trash out front and came back. He didn't wash his hands hut proceeded to wipe tables off. The only person who did wash their hands was the cook. There were 2 older Latinos in the back that strictly handled food. Yet the girl, the server and a cook were on their phones and it shows a lack of professionalism as well as the disregard for sanitary practices. Their health inspection was from 2021 or 2022 saw both dates on thr A letter grade at the base of their front door. I think they're over due for inspection after what we saw today. At the end of the visit I had been overwhelmed by the things I saw and when I told the server politely that he should was his hands from all the things he was doing, and before helping guest that'd arrived he seemed confused. I also told him about the girl not washing her hands or changing gloves and at that time she came toward the bar where we were seated. I told her what I'd observed and how it made me uneasy. She laughed and starred at me blankly. Neither her or the server apologized. When she seemed confused I repeated myself in Spanish and she still gave me a dismissive smile so I asked if she understood me. She said yeah but she didn't know what I was talking about. When I offered to show her the picture I tried to take she didn't respond. She walked toward the back to say something to the older cooks and eventually washed her hands and put on a fresh pair of gloves 45 mins after we arrived. Who knows how long she had been wearing them completely disgusting and unacceptable. We got no apologies and despite being unable to finish my food we paid the meal in full and left a tip. Would love to hear back from the owner. We'd met him over the years and he works hard to create a welcoming atmosphere. It's unfortunate his staff doesn't have the same regard for customers that he does. The pictures I took were at my breaking point when I could no longer tolerate what I'd seen. It shouldn't be on me (or any customer) to prove inappropriate behavior. If they do this in front of customers they may also be doing this around health inspectors or the owner it's impossible to miss.

Only took a picture of the appetizers since the ramen is the same as other places. Honestly, all the food was mid. The restaurant is small and local, but service was good. I do not recommend getting the karaage because it was just over fried chicken nuggets. I recommend just getting the ramen.

Im keeping this review short&simple bc theres not much to say about this place. Food was okay. The waitress was great. Theres inside and outside seating which is nice, the inside is a smaller space.

Got shoyu ramen w egg. Flavorful soup. Tender pork. Good toppings. Get the hot chili oil. It elevates the ramen quite a bit. I opted for this rather than making it hot and spicy, which was 1.75 extra. The service could have been better. I asked for water many times. I also didn't like that add ons were extra charge, and the same price. E.g. price for egg was same price for spinach. Also the broth was lukewarm. It was brought out like 2 minutes after ordering which is quite quick and makes me wonder it's freshness. Ambiance is nice and offered outdoor cute area for seating

When my dad said that their was a good restaurant near the air port i was like ok lets go there and when I got there it was nice the service was good the food was amazing the shop is small but gives great food.

Ramen bowl was delicious! Fresh noodles and the broth had a ton of flavor!! They cooked it fresh in front of us, love that! They used a blow torch as some point to cook, fun experience seeing that. Glad we found this little gem on our boat to CA!!

Great place to get ramen!! I had ramen with pork and added an egg. We were seated right away and the food came out quick. Indoor and outdoor seating and also a bar. This place can get crowded so some days there's a wait but if you go at the right time and your party is not too big you can get seated right away. There's street parking and also a nearby parking lot.

Food is delicious. Service is amazing. Ambiance is great and good music. If in the area you must try!!!

When it comes to Ramen, I think that a basic good wholesome broth and healthy ingredients make all the difference. don't over complicate a traditional meal. The menu is as such. Overall it was a good bowl, I was satisfied. The Ramen was cooked just right - a little chewy and soft. But Yes, I wanted to be blown away so that didn't happen. I found that most of the components were good. For me - needed a little more attention to produce that delicate yet powerful flavor of broth, meat and cohesive perfect bite. (was a little salty). Super friendly peeps hold down the forte so that's always a plus and a mellow lowkey vibe is inviting. free street parking make it very convenient.

I was disappointed in the food here honestly. Definitely not the best ramen I've ever had. It was honestly okay, not super flavorful. Every dish I tried was hit or miss: Hit-Agedashi tofu, braised pork (tasted home cooked, similar to the garlic, soy sauce and acidic flavors of Filipino adobo), pork belly bao Miss-fried shrimp rolls, garlic edamame just needed a pinch of salt, chicken bao, miso ramen The patio was cute enough though and had a heater so it was comfy for me and my family with my dog

The ramen was amazing and authentic. Delicious sides as well. EVERYTHING is good here. Go!!!!!

It was raining and needed to eat something hot! This place HIT THE SPOT! We were able to get seated right away even though outside because they had heaters that made it cozy on a rainy night. Very tasty ramen!

Just ok. Asked for no mushroom and received mushrooms in my ramen. Also tried the salmon bowel and that was also just ok

I'm back again. 11:30 on a Saturday morning. The place just opens up and the staff is friendly and inviting. This time it's the Shoyu Chicken Ramen. It's daaaaaaylicious! I top the ramen egg with chopped green onion and savor the flavor burst. The chicken is cooked just right. The noodles perfect, not overly cooked. Fat n happy, I depart seeking a place for a much needed nap.

Was so glad we finally stopped in at the Ramen Joint. Have walked by it on several occasions, and while walking around Westchester, we finally stopped in on a cloudy afternoon. The server was great, and the food was delicious! While obviously the ramen is it's namesake and was great, the rice bowl and the pork belly fries were really the surprise hits for me - they were just amazing and so flavorful. The lunch combo which includes ramen, a rice bowl, an appetizer, and a drink is a great deal, and was so much food I was able to bring home leftovers (which was still delicious the next day). Will definitely go back!

Came here the food and stayed for the vibes. I'm in love. This little hole-in-the-wall Ramen spot is way too delicious! It's right in the heart of LAX/Westchester w/easy access and street or lot parking. I got the chicken ramen w/salt and added a few of my favorite toppings. I love the quality of their noodles and the taste of their broth. So yummy. This was my first time trying a soft boiled egg and I actually liked it. I was shocked because Im a big "texture" person and usually anything slimy or runny scares the out of me. Lol Love. Love. Love. And we will be back.

I was only able try the ramen in this sitting because it was so filling, but it was fantastic. Broth was flavorful for a vegetable ramen and toppings were good. However, the buttered corn absolutely carried the dish. They were so so delicious, I could eat an entire bowl of the corn if possible. I would come back just for the corn. Service was super friendly and vibes were chill.

My husband had been pestering me to come here for a long time because we moved to the area recently. He'd previously tried it and said it was pretty good. I finally gave in and we came here on a Sunday night in November 2023. Although it was early in the evening, there were a lot of diners in the restaurant and a line of people waiting to dine. We put our name down and only had to wait 10 minutes before being seated. After being seated, we were brought water and menus immediately. At the time we came, they had both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered prawn rolls as an appetizer to share, while my husband had the shoyu tonkotsu and I had the veggie miso ramen and added on the house-made spicy sauce. The prawn rolls were a bit too oily for me to eat much of but they were tasty. I thought both of the ramens that we ordered were pretty good but not outstanding. One thing I liked was that the house-made spicy sauce was actually very spicy, enough to make me sweat. The ambiance here is simple and casual. It's a good spot for a cheap and quick meal. Service here was friendly and efficient. I would recommend coming here if you are near Westchester but I would not recommend it as a place worth driving a long way for.

The place was packed and all the reviews I've read were great, however, myself and my guests were perplexed by all the rave reviews. The kitchen and seating is cramped and. We had the ramen which was rather tastless. The pork belly bao was ridiculously small and chewy
