[DL] GYOZA(8)
Day V.

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.

Ebaes is such a fun restaurant with a unique spin on Japanese and Thai comfort food. We loved the vibe of the interior with the beautiful murals, string lights and paper lanterns. The staff were all so friendly and helpful as well. The food had bold flavors and our favorites were the ramen, chicken karate, Hawaiian fried rice and sushi rolls. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family! Pro tip: they have $8 ramen in the first day of the month and great happy hour deals!

Food was absolutely delicious. I had the Original Ebaes Ramen and Caterpillar Roll. The service was excellent and very welcoming. I was helped by Oscar and the Ambiance was very artsy and cultural. I loved it.

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.

2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen & 1 Tonkotsu Ramen
Cheska F.

- 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.

KBBQ Rice bowl

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.

[[DL] TONKOTSU RAMEN, Thai Tea, Iced Green Tea
Penelope

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.

High-key incredible food and service! Just checked out EBAES LA and they absolutely blew me away. The service here is top-tier. The gentleman helping us was super attentive, and the entire staff was extremely friendly from the second we walked in. As for the food? Unreal. We ordered a massive spread: * Tonkotsu Ramen: Literally tasted like something I haven't had in years. The broth was perfect. * Big Love Bridge: This thing was huge! So much to choose from, incredibly fresh, and definitely worth ordering if you want a variety. Appetizers/Bowls: The cream fried wontons, seaweed salad tofu, and chicken karaage bowl hit the spot. * Thai Tea: So refreshing and the perfect addition Definitely 10/10 recommend!

Inside
Valerie

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.

Karaage
Evan K.

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.

Restroom
Hanna Y.

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.

Food, is very good , everything pretty much was excellent !!!! Service and ambiance was low key small place but open seating and very good

We usually order the same ramen but my husband and son decided to try something different this time. My husband ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and my son ordered the Shio Ramen. Mine was, of course, delicious as always but I tried theirs too and they were both very tasty! Our only complaint was that it was also very warm inside the restaurant. We were hoping to cool down a little while we ate but unfortunately, that wish was not granted. LOL We still really enjoyed the food, though! And my husband definitely enjoyed his cold beer!

TLDR: Go for gluten free experience, avoid for other dishes…read moreThe only positive part of this experience was that they offered gluten free noodles and specific gluten free broths for my brother with Celiac who hasn't had ramen in years. They were very knowledgeable in what was gluten free and what wasn't. The only unfortunate part is that all the meats are marinated in a sauce that is not gluten free. So you can only get tofu or no protein. Even if you select no protein, it comes out to be the same price. Other than the gluten free ramen, we ordered a karage bowl, dry spicy ramen, and spicy tuna roll. The karage bowl had chicken that was NOT fried. I'm not sure how it's cooked but the chicken came out slimy. I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to crunchy karage. The dry ramen had noodles that were way overcooked. The flavoring was okay. Nothing to be impressed about. The spicy tuna roll was probably the best thing there. They had pickled yellow radish that we thought was interesting.

If you have not been to this ramen spot, you are missing out! I still remember that broth like it was yesterday..... so flavorful, so rich, delicious umami flavors. There's not a lot of seating here and there's also not a long line; however, weirdly when we visited people came exactly when another person was leaving. I don't know if it was just timed perfectly or what, but this place definitely stays busy. If you're not afraid of garlic then I would highly recommend the black garlic for sure and of course don't forget to order your extra egg for good luck! You have to pay for the parking area to get into the gated area, but it's not too bad. They won't let you in the gated area if there's no parking which is probably how they have consistent guests but also kind of timed perfectly. I mean, there are other restaurants nearby also that are as busy, but that's what I noticed when I came. I'm always in the area and there's too many delicious food spots in Southern California, but I would love to come back to this one. The staff was also really nice and gave us our space.

That's the mood that pulled me into Maruya in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. I ordered the chashu tonkotsu, the classic go-to when you want to judge a ramen shop by its bones. And the verdict? It was... fine. Not bad, not memorable -- just okay. The kind of bowl that doesn't offend you but doesn't linger in your memory either. No standout richness in the broth, no chashu slice that made me pause mid-bite. Just noodles, doing their job. This is actually the second ramen spot I've tried in Little Tokyo, and I'll admit -- I'm starting to feel a little underwhelmed by the neighborhood's ramen scene so far. For a pocket of the city with so much culinary history packed into a few blocks, I expected to be a bit more wowed by now. Two tries in, and I'm still searching for that bowl that stops me in my tracks. What did stand out, though, was the service. The staff at Maruya were genuinely warm and helpful -- attentive without hovering, quick to check in, the kind of hospitality that makes you want to root for the place even when the food doesn't quite deliver. It's the kind of detail that softens an otherwise middling meal. So, Little Tokyo ramen crawl: two down, verdict still out. The people have been great. The noodles? I'm still waiting to be impressed. On to the next bowl.

I got the green salad and the Tenshin Han which is a shrimp omelette over steamed rice with sweet & sour sauce. Eating it was like wearing a blanket on a cold day . Except the weather was hot out, but nonetheless it hit a nice cozy spot. It did come out quite hot btw, so I did have to wait a little bit for it to cool down. I would most definitely order it again if I'm ever in the area and it's colder. I also recommend eating it with the salad to balance out the salty flavor because it builds the more you keep eating it. The portions were also big, so it could be shared between 2-3 people or just one if you were really hungry like I was. I look forward to visiting again and eating it when it's much cooler !

I was drawn to Kouraku because of the very vintage, Showa-era facade and interior. Without knowing…read moreanything about the place, I decided to stop in and was surprised to learn this is the oldest ramen shop in the United States. I thought that was incredibly cool. I was seated at the counter and didn't have to wait long for the waitress to come around, who recommended ordering via the QR code on the wall in front of me. I liked that it wasn't the *only* way to order, though, and that I can still have a human interaction and order with the waitress if I prefer. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to try that I actually had a tough time ordering, but I eventually decided on the mabo ramen. I was surprised by how big the bowl was, filled with a generous serving of noodles and mabo tofu. It was fantastic, and such a unique ramen compared to what most places offer. I returned three months later on another weekend trip to L.A. and went with the chicken katsu curry. This time, my husband came with me and he got the tenshin chahan ankake, which is a big pile of chahan (fried rice) covered in a shrimp omelette with a gravy pour-over. The katsu was juicy on the inside and incredibly crispy on the outside, in a flavorful curry with a nice little kick of heat. My husband really liked the chahan and cleaned his plate. We finished the meal with an order of the pudding, which had a subtle caramel sweetness and wasn't too cloying or overwhelming. There was a stark difference in how busy they were the first time I visited versus the second. I think I just got lucky the first time and ate there during a lull, because there was no wait to get in on a weekend night and hardly anyone eating inside. But when I came by the second time, we had to put our names on a waitlist, there were a few parties ahead of us, and they were short-staffed. We were seated within 10-15 minutes of putting ourselves on the waitlist and the waiters and waitresses were all very nice despite the crush of customers. Food still came out pretty quickly, too. Kouraku will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this November. They've certainly earned it, and I hope they continue on for more decades to come. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
