I had dinner at Laki Ramen last night and I just love it! My friend and I sat down, right as the small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating got busy at 7pm on a Monday night. They have a small parking lot shared among many businesses if you drive over. We were warmly greeted and service was excellent throughout the entire meal. Their Karage was so juicy & plump, cut into slices rather than the nuggets you usually see. It was so incredibly delicious with tartar sauce & a chili oil served to compliment it. What makes Laki Ramen special is their Chicken Paitan/Baitang style ramen, which is rich & creamy and more importantly chicken-based. You usually only see pork-based ramens so this is a welcome change and I love having a speciality shop like this in Los Angeles. It left me feeling less heavy than with donkatsu ramens and has a few thinly sliced chicken pieces on top. I went with the Matcha Ramen which they only serve 10 of each day! But wow, was it nice and I absolutely loved it. Not to mention, the color was so pretty haha! I couldn't resist getting their Matcha Lemonade, as well, and I loved it so matcha ! That matcha lemonade is quali-tea!!! We also tried Laki's Chicken Cutlet Curry and absolutely loved it. Again, cooked perfectly in a rich and flavor-filled curry sauce. Everything we had at Laki Ramen was delicious! We agreed we'll be back and are intrigued to try their Clam Chowder Ramen! Oh and their music was fire!!! Aaliyah, TLC and Tupac!? I was loving the late 90s R&B/hiphop vibes.
Was looking for a ramen spot that wasn't necessarily a joke in the wall but was good. The pics made it seems like it was bigger than it was. It's pretty small inside and it is in a strip mall, however, the food did made up for it. We also had an allergy they were able to make sure to work around. The parking lot is quite small but the evening we went we didn't have a problem getting a spot. We got a variety of dishes. All were very delicious. Would definitely go back.
We were here on a Saturday because my girlfriend and I were checking out some museums and wanted to find something close by that we could walk to. We stumbled across this place and wanted to try it. We really liked how it had an open patio to sit at and the weather was perfect for it. It was a little busy but we were seated quickly. I ordered the spicy vegan ramen and got mild spice level. I played it safe with the spice level since we were gonna be out and about for the day. Surprisingly the mild spice level was pretty spicy for mild which I loved. The broth was flavorful and creamy. The garlic oil was a nice addition to the broth as well! The tofu was perfect in my opinion and they gave a decent amount! The one thing I would remove from the ramen is the tomato. The tomato wasn't bad but I would've gone with a different choice of vegetable. Overall a very tasty ramen and would definitely get it again! Also the staff were very friendly especially our waiter Alex! He was very friendly, helpful, and was fun talking to him!
My boyfriend and I were checking out a few museums in the area and wanted something within walking distance so we wouldn't have to repark; We found this place and I'm glad we did! We went on a Saturday around 1:30 and it was moderately full but we were able to be seated right away. It's nice because they have a more open-air patio seating, which is where we sat. The colors and seating give a beach-resort feel and the branding and art on the wall is so nice! I got a vegan ramen for $18. While this is pricey, this is almost average for most ramens nowadays. Their noodles are a little on the thinner side but they were cooked well. The broth was creamy and enhanced with garlic oil. They gave a lot of little cubed tofu pieces and the green and fried onions added extra flavor. Their bamboo shorts are a little sweet. I could do without the tomato and maybe a few different vegetable choices, and would prefer cooked tofu, but it was still a good, filling and flavorful dish! Also, shoutout to our waiter, Alex! He was really helpful when it came to food allergies, attentive and kind. He was enjoyable to talk to and get to know as he made conversation with us!
It was a rainy day, so I went looking for a bowl of ramen and found Laki Ramen right around the corner. The place looks new and modern. We walked in right as they opened and were the first customers of the day. You can tell they care about presentation -- every table was neatly set, menus fanned out in the same direction. I ordered the lunch special, which lets you pick one of three ramens and a side. I went with the Dan Dan Ramen and a side of curry. Both were delicious. The broth was rich, and the noodles were springy. At first, I thought the noodles were perfect, but by the time I got to the bottom, they leaned a bit salty -- still good, just a touch heavy at the end. My partner ordered the Chicken Karaage and loved it -- crunchy outside, tender inside. He also had the Pork Chashu Ramen and said it was very good, but he kept coming back to how good the karaage was. For dessert he got the Matcha Tiramisu, and the server brought two spoons. I'm not usually a dessert person, but this one won me over -- smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. Service was friendly and quick. Any time we finished something, the server was right there to clear it without hovering. Overall, solid spot for ramen and great service.
Food 5/5: wow, karaage was super juicy and tasty... I got the clam chowder and wow, so unique and loved every bite of it. My husband got the mazeman and he loved it. It also came with truffle oil and tasted super unique. Wow. They also had matcha ramen, I would def try it out next time. Service 5/5: food came out fairly quick! Ambiance 5/5: clean, tidy, and modern. Highly recommend it!
Came here with two kids & was satisfying for the whole family! Loved that the restaurant had kiddy plates & utensils. Ramen was hearty, and delicious. Noodles were bouncy and still had a bite to it. We didn't try any appetizers but will try to make it back to explore the rest of the menu. Only downside were the seats, we got seated with backless chairs, which was a pain with two kids. Their high chair was too small for our 4 yr old.
Got Laki Ramen for take-out, and food came quickly. The tsukemen was tasty, on-par with Tsujita's. The tan tan men was nice and spicy, but a bit too salty-- plus, the thin noodles were a bit different from what I'm used to in tan tan men. Also got karaage, which was nice and juicy, but texture-wise, it gave off more popcorn chicken vibes than karaage. Overall, decent place for noodles, but it is pricey for the amount you get. If you're in the area, it's worth a go.
Came here for lunch with my co workers and didn't even realize they offered lunch specials, which were really great. The place itself is very cute and fresh. The open space really reminds me of being in Japan, even though we're in a strip mall. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was good too. We all enjoyed it. I had the lunch special ($20), which was a ramen of your choice (chicken baitaing - she said that was the most popular), and a small bowl, and I picked the chicken curry. Very delicious and you didn't feel heavy afterwards. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu.
Could not recommend this enough. Great Staff, Great Customer Service, Amazing Flavors. We got a Tsukemen, Chasu bowl, Karaage and Chasu ramen. 9/10 for sure Plus the half size option are great to be able to try them all. Would for sure be back again here :)
Delicious local ramen spot with focus on chicken. Came here for dinner with a friend on a weeknight and were able to get a table with no wait outside. They were kind enough to turn on the outdoor heater upon our request. There is a small parking lot or if it's full, you can try your hand at finding street parking a couple of blocks out. I ordered the spicy vegan ramen as I wanted something a bit lighter, and it was tasty. The broth was rich without being overbearing and I had tofu for my protein. You pay inside at the register. There is one single occupant restroom available inside. Credit cards are accepted.
Lake Ramen is a small ramen shop in LA. This spot sits in a little strip mall that is one way, so driving in is a little hard. However, there are usually a good amount of parking! The inside of the restaurant is very cute, and I liked how many large tables there are. The service was a little slow when we went, as we had to repeatedly ask for water. They were still very friendly though. The food itself was great. The ramen was very unique! For some reason, it reminded me of freshly baked milk toast. The Karage was very good, although it was more like a Chinese Chicken Steak than a Japanese Chicken Karage. The Black Fried Rice looked super interesting, but it ended up being a little too salty for me. Overall, Laki Ramen was a great little ramen shop serving yummy food!
My new favorite ramen spot! Just absolutely lovely, and but a mere stone's throw from LACMA and the Peterson car museums! Plus parking is very doable in the strip mall lot. But most importantly, this is truly deliciously sexy, and elegant ramen. No matter what you order, from the signature "bai tang" stock, to their vegetarian base, or even the clam chowder ramen, each style screams refinement. Maximum elegance, worthy of being awarded 7 Stella Stars this side of Eden Academy of Berlint. And the after feeling is super clean, no doubt due to the highest quality ingredients and preparation; it actually rings true of basically everything on the menu. Personally the clam chowder ramen really does it for me - the creamy comfort of clam chowder base, the briny yet gentle seafood sweetness of scallops that envelopes the palate but wraps the soul of your inner child with warmth and promise to never break your heart. The karaage, rather than chunks, are like a cutlet slit into tender strips, avec un mariage of 2 wonderfully balanced dipping sauces. The matcha tiramisu might be a bit soft-spoken for most palates, but I think it's one of the greatest. While I do think it could use more in terms of layers of lady fingers, the flavor balance is definitely my type. Especially when you dig your spoon deep into its depths, and get to the concentrated heart of oozing matcha - the kind that digs up memories of being clad in kimono in a chado ceremony - the flavor frolic of bitter and sweet of frothy matcha that takes center stage, unapologetic for it's lack of cloying sugar. Punchy, rich fatty tonkotsu, this place is not. It doesn't need to be loud and obnoxious like a Lamborghini. It's more of an Aston Martin. Understated, luxurious, yet refined. Like a woman. She is beautiful. What beautiful spot.
Chicken baitang ramen : Absolutely delicious ramen - very rich , hearty broth and the noodles had a perfect chewy texture . Thinly sliced , tender chashu pork was better than other ramen places . Beautiful presentation. Add a seasoned egg ! Dessert: We shared a Matcha tiramisu and it is to die for! I only regret not ordering my own because they devoured it while I was writing this review :) read more
This place is awesome. They offer half-size portions on the menu which is such a smart idea because you're not locked into a full portion and can actually try a few different things. I wish more restaurants would do this. I stopped in for a quick bowl of their clear broth chicken ramen and it was seriously delicious: light, clean flavor but still really satisfying. Exactly what I wanted. I'm really not a huge fan of those heavy, creamy ramen broths that a lot of people rave about. I get the appeal but personally it just feels like artery clogging overkill for a few minutes of flavor that disappears way too fast. I much prefer a lighter, cleaner broth that you can actually enjoy without feeling weighed down afterward. They also have this matcha ramen that's limited to only 12 bowls a day which immediately caught my attention. It looked really interesting and now I'm curious enough that I'll definitely be back to try it. New favorite ramen spot in LA unlocked! read more

The food was amazing, I'm very picky with ramen and not easily impressed but I'll start with atmosphere it's soft and just as light as it's ramen it almost has a beach vibe to it the restaurant is vary clean and the workers are attentive , the bathrooms clean For our starter we got the Karaage super crunchy outside with a soft juicy inside the chicken was executed beautifully the sauce that comes with definitely there is very well, We also got the mío ( sparkling water sake, which on its own was very nice a little sweet ) and pour it into our lemonade, Matcha We got the clear chicken Ramen with special toppings if you like a light Ramen, I would highly suggest grabbing that one if you like something a little bit more creamy their signature Ramen is to go for both are very light and airy both filled with amazing broths three well portioned it doesn't feel like an overwhelming amount of bras to Ramen. It also doesn't feel like a very heavy meal which is something I also look for going forward I would highly recommend this place and it's amazing service read more

Despite an unpleasant swarm of flies inside of the restaurant, the chicken baitang ramen with chicken chashu was tasty. The chashu was extremely tender and juicy, but the broth started tasting too salty halfway through the meal. The portion is rather small; I definitely could have eaten another bowl of ramen as well as an appetizer. I wouldn't come back but it was worth a try. Limited but free parking in the plaza. read more
On a chilly Los Angeles night, the Vegan Ramen at Laki really hits the spot. Chewy noodles, plentiful tofu cubes, and a creamy broth made the perfect takeout meal. Delivery came on time... a good thing because I was really hungry. Even my picky kitty wanted some. Highly recommended. read more

A great ramen spot near my work place and have to say it's one most authentic tasting ones in the area. Really great spot that make it fresh! Which makes it a downside as the ramen does take very long to make. I have gotten the spicy chicken baitang ramen with pork chashu and the spicy tsukemen. I liked both and very authentic. I think one great thing if you don't eat pork is they use chicken broth instead of the normal pork broth. It makes it much lighter tasting and have to say I think I like my ramen with chicken broth more. If you want something soupy, definitely get the chicken baiting ramen. Comes with green onions, choice of either pork or chicken chashu, and bamboo. I usually add an egg. Unfortunately no corn as a topping. Noodle texture was chewy and in my preferred form of noodle-not too thin and not too thick. Tsukemen was also great with both chicken and pork chashu, onion, lime bamboo. You do need to eat the tsukemen fast as the broth get cold quick. The broth was very rich but not heavy. The noodle is a little bit thicker than the ramen noodle. I do wish the portion size was bigger, especially for the price of it. But I have to consider the area and there's not many good ramen spots that are this good. read more
Ramen spot located in Mid-City and I think their specialty is their chicken broth. At least that's what my good friend who loves this place told me. The location feels unique in that it's kind of on an 'island' - the ramen spots I've been to in the city are typically in a 'cluster' of other Japanese spots or larger malls, etc. I came here on a Saturday night and the place was really relaxed. It wasn't crowded at all so I was able to get a table right away. The folks here are very friendly and service overall was wonderful. I ordered the Chicken Baitang Ramen (with chicken chashu) and some matcha milk to wash it down. This broth was rich, silky, and oh so delicious. The noodles were chewy and plentiful. Just a wonderful bowl of ramen all around. Parking was plentiful when I went, but I can see how it might get a little crowded during the busy times in the strip mall. read more
This spot slaps. Great vibe inside, with cool modern decor, incredibly friendly and helpful waitstaff, and quick service. The food was exceptional. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Baitang Ramen and it was perfect. The spicy definitely kicked but was so flavorful that it never felt like it was too much. I drank my fair share of water to accommodate that but my glass was never left empty. Will absolutely be coming back here to try each and everything on the menu. read more

This is probably the best chicken ramen I've ever had hands down!! The broth was superrrr flavorful and thick. I think the pork could've been a bit thicker cut and better, but the soup is what Laki is known for. I can recommend the spicy version as well as the pork curry, which were both still so delicious. This place is a must try in LA- I would definitely tell my friends to bookmark this and come try the unique ramen! read more

Stopped by here after work for a quick bite, and I'm thoroughly impressed. I got their regular chicken ramen with chicken chashu. Happy hour is 3-6 pm so the bowl was $15 plus tax and tip. The broth is incredible. It's on the thicker side, rich, but full of comforting chicken flavor. The chicken is tender, the menma is also super delicious. The table comes with spicy green onions and yuzu pepper for additional toppings, which is a win in my book. Really unique flavors with this one, I'd love to return and try their other ramens! read more

Came here on the recommendation of my friend who has been raving about it because she loves it so much. I arrived around 4:30ish on a Wed afternoon after visiting the La Brea Tar Pits Museum nearby. It wasn't super busy, there were two other tables finishing up and one server and the chef inside. The inside is very modern in terms of decor, and the only qualm I had at all was that it was hot inside so I was sweating a lot after eating my ramen. The female server asked me if I wanted regular water or lemon water, so I opted to lemon water and quickly checked the menu using the QR code on the table. I ordered the clear chicken ramen and waited maybe 15 minutes until the chef brought out my food with a jar of yuzu kosho and a jar of spicy garlic chives. The clear chicken ramen was delicious and came out piping hot. It's like a shio chicken ramen, and the broth wasn't overly heavy/fatty. The noodles were thin and slightly chewy, menma was lightly sweet, chashu was flavorful, and egg was cooked well. I loved changing the taste a little between bites with the yuzu kosho and garlic chives (but do know that the garlic chives will inevitably give you bad breath for a few hours). Thank you to the beautiful Chef Niki for an amazing bowl of ramen! I will definitely bring my husband next time to try the other dishes at Laki. read more

This ramen shop is top tier and needs to be added to your bookmarks! The chef at Laki Ramen trained at Menya Takeichi, one of Japan's top chicken ramen chains. Their specialty is using chicken broth in their ramen, which is light and super flavorful! They have unique options like their rich & creamy Clam Chowder ramen which comes with Japanese scallops. Their Chicken Baitang Mazemen was packed with flavor, especially with the addition of truffle oil. Once you're almost done with your mazemen, you're given a small bowl of rice and a side of broth that you add to your leftovers at the end which makes for such a comforting dish! And you can't leave without getting their Matcha Tiramisu read more
