My daughter surprised the hubs and I with dinner and brought us to this awesome Ramen place! Very quaint restaurant with chill vibes. We ordered chicken wings, egg rolls, Brussels sprouts, shoyu with pork and original modan with chicken. The Brussels sprouts were delicious! Crispy and flavorful! The egg rolls were so yummy! The chicken wings were so crispy and tasty! My shoyu ramen was delicious! The chicken broth was flavorful. Ramen was cooked perfectly. The pork was absolutely delicious! This place will definitely be on my favorites places to come back to. A must try! read more

We used to come here for a few years & haven't been in a year. I'm guessing the owners are over it. Two 15yr olds are waiters. They asked me 3 times to repeat my order, I checked a 4th time to make sure everything was ok as I watched 3 take out customers have to wait, 5...10...20 minutes & all of their orders were wrong. "We only have 1 cook but he's really fast," they said. 2 of our 3 orders made it to the table & the quality was 30-50% below what it used to be. Only tapped 1 stars because 0 was not an option. read more

It's a hot night in Glendale but decided to try this local ramen shop and I must say it's worth it. Decided to order the Modan ramen combo which comes with a beautiful salad and a choice between different selections I got the teriyaki chicken. I was surprised to get served so much food, ended up taking the teriyaki home for lunch tomorrow. The ramen broth was light yet flavorful, the pork tender and the noodles perfectly cooked. The owner Alyse was wonderful and very sweet... she took my order and right away I got the salad while she prepared the rest of the meal. Loved the tasteful food and wonderful music. Please pay her a visit and support this amazing small shop. read more

Solid ramen spot. My go to in the neighborhood. The spicy miso is my favorite and the egg is always perfectly done which is a my favorite part read more

One of the original Japanese-style ramen restaurants, going back to 2013 in the area, Modan is a long-time consistent bowl of savory goodness. Offering a Black Ramen and paired with an order of Spicy Tuna, this offering continues to be a favorite pick. Their Tonkotsu broth is also very rich and good. Miso and vegetarian options are also equally tasty. Side dishes such as Brussels sprouts and Gyozas are crowd favorites. The additions of sushi-type rolls later in their menu are also very popular and a great alternative to just ramen options. Modan's Eagle Rock location is now the only location with this namesake. There was a separation in ownership and business model that separated them from their original South Pasadena history. Their taste and quality consistency is welcomed and has given them a nice stake in Eagle Rock. read more

I thought the service was great inspite of the fact there is only one server. For one, it was late evening. I was embarrassed my credit card won't process. Just forgot that I froze my cards to avoid unauthorized purchases. Eventually worked. The server understood. The place is quaint and I like the feel of comfortably eating my dinner. The place is nice for a small joint. The ramen I ordered was good. Just not enough. I loved the ingredients and just right amount for me. I'm sure I'll come back. read more

What a great find in eagle Rock! A small place along Colorado blvd and quite the artsy interior. We came out on a somewhat cool Late Saturday night. Welcoming and immediately took our order. Post the tongue, Katsu and chicken Ramen soup based and Ramen itself are good. Very filling and a good size portion on a regular size. The only comment I have is that the tonKatsu was a bit overcooked where it was almost tough or crunchy in texture, which is not what I'm used to. The seaweed salad was a good portion with some lettuce underneath a good starter side to have Parking is in a very small lot might get full on a busy day or night. Will definitely come back again, and maybe the tonTakatsu will not be cooked so well done. read more

First time back since pre-Covid. Went on a Sat evening for dinner and luckily we were able to snag the last table. Parking lot was full and had to park in the residentials but no biggie. Original tonkatsu broth had depth. Noodles were al dente and the two pork slices were generous. It was a tad overcooked so was a bit chewy but flavorful nonetheless. If you're in the mood for spice, the spicy option does the trick. If you're hungry, opt for the combo for $7 more. It's a small establishment so would be a challenge to accommodate a large party. Service was a little on the slow side that night but the meal was well worth it. read more

This was our first time here and we were not disappointed at all. We got an order of gyozas and spicy ramen and both were really good. The soups were very flavorful, spicy but not too spicy to the point that you cannot keep eating, it had the perfect amount of chili. The music was good not too loud. And the person that served us was very helpful, polite and attentive. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely be coming back again. read more

I randomly found this spot when I went to get my nose piercing adjusted and I really enjoyed their lunch special. It came with salad, ramen, and even a small rice bowl which I picked to eat it with their pork. It was soooo good, I would definitely come back! read more

The parking lot gets busy as it's for several businesses in the plaza. Come early to get a spot. Wife and I got brussel sprouts for appetizer and it was really delicious with the garlic aoli. Definitely get the brussel sprouts. Original modan ramen is delicious with the long hours of cooked pork broth. It's creamy, rich, warm perfect when the weather is a bit cold. A definite must!

Really cute little ramen restaurant in Eagle Rock that's deserving of your business. I've had this spot bookmarked on Yelp for a while now and was able to swing by for a late night Monday dinner. Modan is located in a super small strip mall off the main drag. Thankfully the signage was well lit and it was easy to find. Parking though might be your biggest hurdle like with anyplace this side of town. Parking spots in front of Modan were taken so we did have to park slightly further away down in the strip mall but that was fine. It's a narrow small strip mall with only one side for parking so spaces fill up. Ramen is competitive in LA so while the ramen was very tasty and in my home town would likely be closer to 5 stars, basing them out of being in LA with so many options I would say Modan is a solid 4 stars all day long which isn't bad at all. The ramen here was tasty, the inside was cute. And our waitress while busy, was friendly. That would be my little upgrade is maybe having two staff working the front for dinner service as it got busy but I also get this is a small restaurant. We just noticed our waitress got pulled for a lot of phone calls and takeaway orders which didn't allow her to be as attentive to her six tables of diners BUT she definitely tried her best and kept a smile on her face throughout the whole experience. Sorry I didn't catch her name but she worked hard and hustled. The ramen here is flavorful and an amazing portion size for $16. My friend and I both went with the classic tonkotsu ramen and it was super good. The broth was rich but not overdone. The noodles were some of my favorite as they were light and bouncy. I thought it was a great classic ramen done well. Huge portion, you'll likely have leftovers. Also appreciated when we asked for chili oil she brought us out a massive pourer for the oil. Love it. If you are on this side of town Modan is a great option for some no frills, tasty, and comforting ramen. read more

I like Modan Ramen since they had opened in South Pasadena location. I was sad that they are no longer in South Pasadena. Now, the place is located in Eagle Rock. I like Black Ramen and add combo I pick that comes with salad and spicy tuna rice bowl. Spicy ramen is also tasty. Service is good and friendly. The place is small but still good for dine in or take out. Thank you for still opening a good ramen place. Definitely always go there when craving ramen. read more

My dad and I order from quite a bit. Their ramen has been consistent over the years and it's absolutely delicious. I enjoy getting their black ramen for a really deep and rich flavor and their shoyu ramen when I'm craving something lighter. Really delicious food read more

I come here often and I always order one thing: the Original Modan Ramen. It is consistently good and rich in flavor. Ramen is one of the ultimate comfort foods, but at many places it's super heavy and on the salty side (not necessarily a bad thing, though). The ramen here is light without sacrificing any of the taste. I'm not left feeling bloated or strung out in a food coma. Aside from the broth, the pork really makes the dish. It's seasoned well, tender, and seared on both sides. I wish I knew how they made it. Some nights it can get quite busy in the dining room and for carryout. I wish they'd hire more employees! read more

It took a very long time to be served. A very, very long time. The restaurant and seating area is small, and the tables are a little too close together. I felt I was literally part of another couple's conversation as we were so close. I was uncomfortable and I'm an extroverted person, lol. The food was ok. The brussel sprouts were a bit dry and overcooked, the curry fries were the opposite- undercooked and the curry could have been more flavorful. As for the star attraction- meh, I have definitely had better ramen many other places. I would not recommend this restaurant, and I am not planning to go back. For the money spent the experience was below average. The server was nice, even if overwhelmed by too many customers and a tiny kitchen staff. read more

Great food and customer service! I love their spicy ramen! Will be a returning customer for sure.

First time eating here; very impressed. Service was friendly and prompt. I had Kimchi Ramen, which was as spicy as promised. The pork was cooked perfectly, IMO - tender, and so tasty. The Kimchi was also good, and that spicy broth was just what I was looking for. My husband had Veggie Ramen with Kale Noodles. He liked it a lot. The broth was miso based (being appropriate for Vegans), which he liked, and he preferred the texture of the kale noodles to my regular flour noodles. It was supposed to come with raw tofu, but unfortunately that was accidentally left out. Mentioned it to the super nice person who helped us, and she deducted $2 from our bill. He should have said something immediately, but forgot it should've had tofu, until he saw the bill. Overall an excellent experience. read more

We visited this ramen spot for Saturday lunch after seeing some great reviews, and my kids--big ramen fans--were excited to try it. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but parking in the plaza was a bit of a challenge. The staff was friendly and attentive, though it could be tough to get their attention when they were in the back. Ramen bowls are priced around $16, which seems pretty standard these days. The portions were reasonable, and the side dishes stood out as really tasty. The broth, however, wasn't as rich or flavorful as some other ramen places we've tried, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. That said, we still had a very good overall experience, and we'd definitely consider coming back! read more

Food was freshly prepared but be prepared for a long wait. I wish the person seating us would have let us know that she was a one woman show - waitress, cook, busboy, cashier, and hostess. Clean with tables but fan blowing dust. We were the only customers, ordered ramen - one was the house special and the other was shoyu and it took over 30 minutes for our food. With more help and a clean fan, it would be worth visiting. read more

Next time might have to try the ramen, but ordered the Yakisoba. The flavors were way too salty. It's a smaller store inside with not too many seating options. Service was quick. So this is a good option for a nice quick dinner if you're in the area. If you're looking for really good ramen, recommend just making the drive to other options in the SGV area. read more

I'm very particular about choosing the ideal ramen place and this is the place I have picked. The fact that they are accommodating in serving my chashu meat crispy is everything to me. In addition, service is impressive. Courteous & hard working sweet staff are the only people they employ. When I dine here, it feels like home. The ambiance is homy and you'll always manage to find parking as people often come & go. A huge thumbs up on this place that is nestled in the heart of Eagle Rock which is next door to Glendale city. read more

Modan Eagle Rock Ramen - It's a small venue, but great food. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm not sure about the 4.5 stars rating. Came here for dinner and didn't have the ramen. We had chicken teriyaki bowl dinner special that came with tempura, salad and edamame. The chicken is very dry and tough and the teriyaki sauce is way too thick. The tempura is heavily breaded and it's not cooked thoroughly so it's a bit hard to bite. The spicy edamame is not savory at all. We also got the chashu bun, where nothing good came out of it. The chashu is a shredded pork and it's dry. Never had chashu bun like it ever. Maybe next time I'll try the ramen but not so sure about it. read more

1 server and place was crowded. I wanted 20min after arriving to pickup my food that was ordered 30min prior...

If I could describe Modan Ramen in one word, it would be "Light." The default flavor "Modan" had me thinking that there might be a 10-15% pork flavor in broth after all. The spicy is very spicy but it's so forward that you can't really taste anything else. The noodles are ok in thickness but the chew factor is not there. Some of my noodles where stuck together and undercooked but it actually provided a more satisfying texture over the cooked. The egg had some type of tartness that was interesting but not something I look for in a ramen egg. The cabbage and mushrooms are alright and kinda got in the way at the end of the meal. Overall I'd recommend this bowl to someone who wants a very plain ramen experience. It's not for everyone but someone will like it. Service is polite, parking is small and tight, and the interior is also small with only 6 tables for 4 and one for 2. read more

I liked it. This cold rainy weather had me craving ramen and this hit the spot. Inside is hip and stylish. Seating is a bit limited though. I got the black ramen. It was good! Loved the garlic flavor. My friend got the Modan ramen and they liked it. We were being fatties and decided to get some bowls on the side, plus some of the yummy curry fries. Non-fatties should get full with the ramen + rice bowl though. Service was great. Our server Leah was really friendly and awesome. There's a small parking lot in front. Will definitely be coming back. If you're around Eagle Rock or Highland Park and looking for ramen, check them out. read more

Tucked just off the Colorado Blvd frenzy--Eagle Rock's own slice of LA hustle--Modan Ramen is the cozy strip-mall ninja you never saw coming. Blink and you'll miss it, but step inside and bam: "I could chill here all afternoon" energy. No hype, no lines out the door--just pure, unpretentious noodle comfort in the heart of Eagle Rock. I went all in on the black broth ramen (trust me, this is the move), and yes, that dark, garlicky elixir is the MVP. Rich, moody, and packed with umami swagger--like if Batman made soup. Noodles? Perfect bounce, zero mush. But the pork chashu? A little too chewy, like it was doing jaw workouts before showtime. Not a dealbreaker--just a friendly reminder that not every slice can be melt-in-your-mouth magic. The staff? Lightning fast and genuinely sweet--orders in, bowls out, smiles all around. Peak efficiency with zero attitude. And if ramen's not your vibe that day (hey, moods happen), the apps are low-key legends. Grab the crispy karaage or gyoza--golden, juicy, and gone in 60 seconds. Modan Ramen clocks in at a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars--a big ol' B on the report card, and I'm here for it. It's not trying to be the coolest kid in LA; it's just doing its thing, quietly, deliciously, and with heart. Perfect for a solo lunch, a low-key date, or a post-hike refuel. Swing by Eagle Rock's hidden ramen nook--your taste buds (and your sanity) will thank you. read more

they have a pretty good selection of food and their ramen was very tasty. i had the spicy edamame and the kimchi ramen (which is pretty freaking huge for the price!) their green tea was alright, but that's about it. as far as their seating area goes, it's pretty quant and nice. when i went there was one other family there but other than that it was pretty empty. that can either be good or bad; depending on your preference. i'm not sure if it's usually like that or not, but yeah. their chopsticks they offer are great though; i know that's random but still. read more

This place is as delicious as I remember it to be. The staff is friendly and the food comes out fairly quickly. We went right before the dinner rush, so halfway it started to pick up. I got the Tonkotsu ramen, the broth was rich and thick, the noodles perfect (I don't like al dente noodles so this was perfect)! The chashu spices are thick and egg flavorful. Still a 10/10 in my books-so glad they've stayed consistent with their flavors read more

Good food. Terrible service due to lack of staff these days. (I don't blame the staff.) Whoever the owner is needs to hire more staff. The last few times I have ordered or eaten there, there has only been one person in the kitchen and one person doing the tables. They are running all over the place. My last order pick up took 50 minutes to be ready. I see other people waiting forever too. Seems like a terrible place to work. read more

Only reason it's not a 5 star is because manager/owner should have scheduled an extra person to help Karina. read more

it was going to be our first time having this place and the reason for my 1 star is that we placed the order by phone for pick up. upon pick up we were told they dont accept apple pay.
