Shoutout to Daniel, he was our server on a Saturday afternoon at around 6:30pm and he made sure to check up on us and that all of our requests were being met. As for the ambiance, it's great. The decor, lighting and the whole restaurant has a great vibe. The food itself was great. It was 3 of us so we ordered the large sushi boat and we also got a nigiri side with an extra set of nigiri (that's why you'll see in the picture 3 of each type of nigiri). Service, food and ambiance were all exceptional. Price is reasonable too. read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!! It's just really unfortunate that the experience doesn't match the food. The hostess didn't make us feel welcome at all, and our waiter was very serious and did nothing above and beyond to earn a 20% tip from our party. And don't get me wrong--I'm a good tipper! But his attitude wasn't warm or inviting, and he wasn't very attentive to us throughout dinner. It definitely took away from what could have been a great experience read more

This was a great time! From the music and the ambience. It felt very on theme since it's a hidden gem. This was so fun! The service was meh, but the food was incredible. I highly recommend the katsu, the sushi, and the Korean iced coffee! The iced coffee was delicious and strong. They have a variety of sushi and ramen selections. I cannot wait to come back!! For 3 people and a fun time totally worth the $75 price. The parking was good especially infront of the shop. read more

This place used to be my go-to spot for food after a long day at school, but today was a complete disappointment. I found a piece of hair in my ramen, twice! Additionally, the portion of the chicken karage was smaller than usual. The hair is my last straw, and I'll never be coming back here again. read more

- Ordered the spicy tonkotsu & spicy edamame Spice difference between the spicy and original tonkotsu is UNIMAGINABLE. I can handle spice but it felt like I accidentally got the Diablo ramen. I had to make sure I got the correct one with the waiter but she dips her fries in the Diablo sauce so clearly I asked the worst person in the restaurant. This meal actually made me physically sick before I even left the restaurant. I eat out a lot and I've never experienced this type of reaction. I started to burn up on the way home & immediately threw up once I did. Edamame wasn't spicy at all. Idk how that was labeled as spicy in comparison to the ramen. Wouldn't order again, not well seasoned. I came on $8 ramen night (thank god because this wasn't worth the regular price). The wait was 1.5 hours when arriving at 8:30pm for 3. They are really nice about the waitlist tho, as long as your name is on the list they will seat you even if it's past ten. The service was pretty much nonexistent. They brought out our food & check and that was about the only time we were paid attention to even when we were constantly looking around for someone to help us. They did comp one item because the food took so long which was really nice (well past last call & to the point where the workers were cleaning up and chit chatting with one another). The guy working as a host was definitely over the whole night. It was busy to be fair but he chose to clock in so atleast act correct. Overall, no I would not eat here outside of $8 ramen days & only if I were desperate. read more

Ebaes - 2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen & 1 Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This restaurant feels like a fever dream. The decor is all over the place. I do love the mural on the wall which consists of a large dragon with a nose ring looking over a village consisting of disney characters (Mike Wazowski, R2D2, timon and pumba. etc) and exactly one (1) Hello Kitty. My friend and I stopped here because it says they're theme is "hello kitty decor" and we were immediately sold. But walking in, it has more of a: leftover dorm-room decor vibe. There's nothing wrong with that, just not really what we expected. The food is definitely good! My friend and I have ordered a korean BBQ rice bowl and I've finished it each time. We also ordered the goyza and cream cheese filled crisp puffs. The chili sauce that is served with them is very good! Service is good but when they are busy it can get held up, which is understandable. The thing I like most about this place is their deals, they advertise free ramen or rice bowl for your birthday or game day deals. This place is very unique and definitely has it's own vibe. I highly recommend you check out their bathroom for an interesting wallpaper surprise. read more

Terrible service. Annoying waiters. Didn't even take our reservation despite confirming we did have one. We were 11 people....

The atmosphere here is fantastic -- it's a small, cozy spot with dim house lights and a warm glow from accent lighting. Very inviting and comfortable inside. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, some of the best ramen l've ever had. The Diablo Ramen is actually spicy, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm giving 2 stars because of the service and how the restaurant operates. We arrived at 8:30 PM and weren't able to place our order until about 8:50 PM. Not long after, our server informed us they were doing a "last call for food" because it was slow. What made it even more uncomfortable was that after we received our food, several staff members sat at a table by the kitchen, clearly waiting for us to finish eating so they could close and leave. It made us feel rushed and awkward, which completely ruined the experience - especially since we were meeting up with a friend we hadn't seen in years and were hoping to spend a relaxed evening catching up. By cutting the kitchen early and making guests feel like they're inconveniencing the staff, it not only takes away from the customer experience, but also costs the restaurant potential sales and a higher tip for the server. It came off as poor management and left a very disappointing impression, particularly for a first-time visit I was really excited about. The food alone would absolutely bring me back - but only if the restaurant handles slow nights differently in the future. read more

Been here a few times, and the first time I came here I loved their sushi rolls and takoyaki! I came again recently and thought it felt short based on their Chicken Bowl and Karaage. They were a bit bland and tasted cheap. I feel like these items aren't for me personally. I had their Rainbow roll and their rice and the rice was a bit hard. The fish quality was decent but just didn't hit. I don't think I would die to come back here again. Although im not a huge fan, the vibes are good for dates or catching up with friends. They also have a variety of flavored soju and beer. read more

We parked a few blocks away and walked over. The place was small and packed! The inside was fun with all its art on the wall. The girls restroom was funny with its Zac Efron and Channing Tatum wall. I got the Original Ebaes ramen with chicken. I wouldn't say it was anything impressive. The chicken was pretty dry which brought the dish down. read more

Arrived at around 7:45pm on a Saturday night for a party of 2 and was immediately seated at the bar with the restaurant being almost full. Ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen, Thai Tea, and Iced Green Tea. The noodles in the ramen were a bit overcooked and chewy to my liking. However, the broth, meat, and overall dish was tasty. Everything was fairly priced and I would certainly come back again! Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and our orders came out at a timely manner. Parking was fairly easy to find and the restaurant was pretty clean and well put together. read more

Very cozy and interesting place. Upon opening the wooden door, I was surprised by the decor and mirrors definitely made it look bigger than it actually was. We opted to sit on the right bar like table side. Guess we were there during happy hour so ordered off that and it was pretty great. The Ebaes original ramen is a flavor I've never had before and my hubby loved it, we even took the broth home so we can enjoy it more with our own noodles/rice. The tan tan was ok, very peanuty and kind of dry. Chicken karaage looked small but it was very crunchy and super tasty with the sweet and sour sauce. Truffle fries were good. I also ordered a peach iced tea and they just add the syrup which is at the bottom so be sure to stir well. Service was pretty quick at first but then it seemed they got busy and was taking a bit to get the check to pay but it was still very attentive and nice. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area since it's so unique! read more

Service could be better but a young lady did check in on me before I placed my order through my phone. My gripe with these smartphone orders is that I am asked to tip before any of my food comes or any customer service takes place. I just find it backwards but okay. The food was good. I requested spicy and the pad see ew was perfectly so. The meat quality could have been better for the price of the dish. Everything did taste okay and a parking on a weekday was easy to find on the street. The restaurant itself is nice and could be a chill place to hang but the service and food could improve. read more

I finally decided to stop in last night at the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad I did! First of the service was very courteous and attentive. I was sat down immediately and my order was taken quickly. There was two young ladies/servers who appeared to perhaps be sisters that made my dinner experience very pleasant. All my food was very good but being somewhat of ramen snob the egg in my soup left something to be desired. The gyoza and hand rolls were delicious and do not forget to try some of the spicy edamame! I like that the restaurant isn't too big and decor, makes it feel like an authentic Japanese restaurant. Will be coming back for more A+++ read more

Amazing Ramen! If you're a student at USC, this place is definitely a step up from Ramen Kenjo! I tried the Spicy Tonkatsu and I lovedd the broth.

Fun sushi spot near USC! I went here for sushi for a team lunch and it was a lot of fun and the food was great. We got the USC Trojan roll, the Idaho roll, the Spicy Salmon roll, and the spicy garlic edamame. Everything was delicious and the rolls were very unique! To drink, I got a Thai iced tea and it was amazing. On another note, I had forgotten my phone at the restaurant and had someone from my group call them to ask if it was still there. The staff had found it and kept it safe until I could return, about 30 minutes later. Thank you to the staff! read more

Great little Japanese place. Parking can be a pain but the interior is great! I wish then men's bathroom was decorated like the womens, if you go you'll see why! Friendly service and very fast. One of our meals came out much later than the others but the server took it upon herself to apply a small discount for it which wasn't needed but very appreciated! Spicy tuna rice bowl- looks small but the portion is great! Rice Cooked perfectly, fresh avocado and the spicy tuna was better than most places. Spicy tuna tends to be "cheap" and usually just ok but this was very good. It is spicier than most so be aware! Salmon nigiri- fell a little flat for me. Maybe I'm spoiled by my local spot but this just wasn't as good. Good ratio of rice to salmon but the quality wasn't fully there. Much better than other places but it wasn't melt in your mouth quality and just kind of fine. Overall we would definitely come back! It was quick, good food and service and pricing is spot on! read more

A USC classic! This place is less than a mile of campus, so it's packed with USC students. Usually, sushi restaurants are hard for vegetarians to find items, but this place has really good vegan California rolls and the iconic crunchy tofu roll. The salmon bowl, spicy tuna bowl, and traditional sushi rolls are really good if you are less adventurous, but I recommend that you try some of their unique items. It's also not too hard to get a table. read more

Ebaes - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On the first of every month, they offer $7 ramen (cash only). I recommend going during lunch time. It's a really small restaurant, so we had to wait over 2 hrs to get seated for dinner time. Don't really expect great service here; once we get our food we aren't really checked on. Portions are generous. For $7, I can't complain too much. Cold Bae Ramen: The shrimp tempura was so fresh and crunchy. Because it was a cold ramen, they didn't totally lose their crunch as I was eating. It was a unique meal, but I don't think I would get it again. The cold broth was a bit salty and made finishing the meal a bit difficult. Spicy Tonkotsu: The spice was manageable. Rich broth with bouncy noodles. Chashu was okay, and broth was a little too salty. I prefer the Original Ebaes Ramen more, but this is a close second! Thai Ice Tea: such good thai tea. A bit on the creamier side, but that's what I prefer! read more
