10/10 -- We'll Definitely Be Back!…read more I recently tried Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen for the first time with a group of six leaders from my job. One of our coworkers has been coming here for 20 years, so we knew we were in good hands! The menu is EXTENSIVE and can be a little overwhelming for a first-timer, but our waitstaff was amazing--patient, friendly, and happy to help us navigate all the options. And trust me... we ordered! We tried several lunch combos, appetizers, and sides. I had the veggie ramen, and our table also enjoyed the fried green beans, veggie spring rolls, fried rice, and plenty of other goodies. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. What I loved most was the comfortable, no-frills atmosphere. This place has clearly been doing what they do for a long time, and it almost feels like you're eating in Grandma's kitchen--good food, welcoming service, and no need for anything fancy. And PLEASE don't leave without trying the plum wine! We ordered a bottle for the table, and it was delicious. 10/10 for the food, service, and overall experience. Ramen lovers, put this one on your list! We'll definitely be back.

The service is quick, friendly, and chill, the kind of crew that gets your bowl out fast, and smelling so good! The ramen is so delicious, a steamy, rich, flavor bomb with noodles that bounce like they've been training for the Olympics. Cause after this I'm gonna have to hit the gym to work this great meal off. This place is very casual and stays breezy and unfussy, perfect for a midday slurp session. I did fog up my sun glasses trying to go in too aggressively, but honestly, that's part of the charm. Miguel C.

I've been a regular here for a long time, but lately the service has been getting worse. I completely understand if a customer is being rude or difficult, but we came in and were nothing but nice. There was also a Hispanic gentleman who helped us, and he was very friendly and professional, which made the difference in our experience. It was honestly so disappointing, especially as a longtime customer. Management really needs to address the way she is treating paying customers. If this is how she is treating other customers as well, something needs to be done because poor service reflects badly on the entire business.

We usually take it home where the noodle explosion is easier to contain. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. We come here so often that we're constantly filling up our loyalty cards. That's about the best endorsement I can give. Great food, friendly service, and a family favorite that keeps us coming back... again and again.

The pork belly rice bowl was 5/5 - I will be back just for that dish. Lots of meat, very flavorful…read more Good for sharing or as a main course. However, for a place that specializes in ramen, the noodle soup bowls I've tried so far sit at a 4/5 for my friends and I. The broth is nourishing but a bit thinner than we expect. The shoyu is my go-to. It's a standard offering at a ramen place, and this one is in-line with other eateries - doesn't blow me away, nothing that I can point to that makes it unique and special here, but that is okay. Prices are a touch high for the quality and size. I've had some of their smaller appies like the Musubi and buns - not a must try, but I do typically suggest ordering dishes that aren't as easy to find on a menu (as opposed to edamame, as an example). Appies can range from 3-4/5. The interior is cute, the ambiance is laid back and casual, and you should expect a bit of a wait during peak dining hours. Plenty of free parking on the premises. Silverlake Ramen is in the middle of the shopping center, in between CPK and Alo.

Especially considering its location in the Manhattan village mall, the pricing is very reasonable. The ramen broth is super rich and delicious but not overly salty. The noodles are tender.

I've been going to Tomizo since they opened. There were a few months after the initial visit that I…read moredidn't go and I'll explain in a sec, but since then I come probably twice a month now. Ironically speaking, I do not like Sapporo style ramen. I've never been a fan of Miso ramen, and for some reason Sapporo style is just something I do not enjoy. That being said, everyone I know that does like Sapporo style ramen say it is good. But then, why am I giving this place 5 stars and why do I eat here so often? Tomizo added tsukemen to their menu, and they have the best tsukemen in the area. It's a very rich heavy fatty tsukemen, and it blows away everywhere else's tsukemen in the area. The portions are always extremely generous as well. The most important thing is, they use actual tsukemen noodles, they are fat and thick, while a lot of places near here give you ramen noodles for their tsukemen. The other thing I absolutely love about this place is that they have seasonal ramen, and while I'm not a huge fan of some of them, other times they are just amazing. The current seasonal ramen is a cold cream tonkotsu style, and it is absolutely divine. My partner got it last night and it was so good, I wanted to come back tonight to get an order of it myself. I absolutely hope they decide to add it to their main menu permanently, because a cold ramen dish would be a god send to have readily available. The staff are all wonderful, incredibly attentive, and are all very cheerful and upbeat. The music variation changes quite a bit. Sometimes it'll be vocaloid heavy, other times it'll be very late 90s sounds of Tokyo (Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five), or sometimes an early 2000s jpop play list. As someone a little older I don't think there's ever been a time I didn't enjoy the music being played. They also always have dodgers games (reruns during the offseason) playing on a tv for the local fans. The only real bad thing about Tomizo is the parking lot is tiny and shared with a sushi place that can get busy. So parking can be difficult sometimes.

I hope they could have put the real picture without eggs corn and other things so we wouldn't expect the picturesque food. The broth very good and ramen noodles soft and sweet as well.

The food was actually quite good. We both had a bowl of the Black Devil ramen at a spice level of 4. I was worried that this would be too much but it was actually a very manageable level of spice. The type of spice where I can still enjoy my food and not have to worry about eating it through hiccups or anything like that. I also had a side of the spicy katsu cutlet, which I also enjoyed very much. They brought me one big piece of chicken katsu and some scissors to cut it up, which I thought was neat. But every bite I had was wonderful, as it was clearly fried to perfection. The service was also on point and our server even let us try some of their devil sauce ( I do not remember if this was what it was called but it sure was spicy). A few drops of this in my bowl of ramen and I began to sweat profusely. She said barely anyone ever orders it and I can totally see why haha. She was also super nice to us and overall provided some excellent service, I did not quite catch her name. The interior of this place also feels quite small, but it is well ventilated. Just be mindful if you get up and walk around because there are people eating to your left and right.

Great service, very fast. Would recommend the chicken gyoza and Kyoto kryptonite. 10/10read more
