    Cold Noodle!

    Awesome shoyu ramen and tantanmen egg drop! Their cold noodle is amazing! Great chicken salad and daikon salad. Really good fried rice! The shoyu ramen is as good or better than I had in Japan! Highly recommend!!!

    Ramenya has been a WLA staple for many years. They serve consistently delicious Japanese food. Their ramen is good, not the best but good and large portions. We ordered the garlic fried rice with white meat chicken which came with a small bowl of chicken broth. Both were very flavorful. The agedashi tofu was really good, the broth was strong. The service is attentive and top notch. Very friendly neighborhood restaurant. We will definitely be back!

    Cold Noodle (Hiyashi)

    Seriously the best place to get ramen. If you haven't tried it you're missing out. The flavor of the ramen is so addicting and delicious. The service is also awesome and honest. They even offer outdoor dining with a couple tables in covered tent. We tried the tan tan which is SO good, highly recommend. It even comes in cold or hot and the flavor profile changes based on temperature. Sometimes when it's too hot I'll order the cold ramen and it's VERY refreshing. Perfect for LA weather! Can't wait to come back and try more ramen! Parking is very convenient in a lot right in front.

    I needed a place to hang out for a couple hours so I found a place to eat! A friend and I visited Ramenya over the weekend. Before checking out the place I looked at some Yelp! reviews and most on top are from my friends but their posts were outdated. I gave Ramenya a chance as it was local to where I needed to be. We ordered a ramen each and a couple of appetizers. I never had raw octopus with wasabi so I was curious to try. My friend isn't as adventurous as I am but she was willing to try and she actually liked it the appetizer. It does some with a slimy and tough to chew consistency but it pairs really well with the amount of wasabi they added, plus very good with beer. We added goyza to our order and they were different from other places I've had goyzas at. These were plump and very filling. The taste was great as well! My ramen was the Asianya tantan ramen. I noticed there was a whiteboard as you entered and that was the #1 choice. So I decided to check it out. I enjoyed it while adding another level of spiciness to it. I wished the spice level was more higher but maybe we can fix that another time. Overall we both enjoyed our meal. I arrived early and noticed how quickly the tables started to get filled. So arrive early! Parking: small private lot. neighborhood parking is also available on Barry and Barrington VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

    My friend and I getting ramen!! So good!

    Round 3!!! And just as good as ever! I got the Tokyo Galbi Reiman and it was good. Came here with 5 of my friends and all of them thought it was great and would like to come back! Servers were very attentive and our waters were never empty. Love how easy it is to talk to other people at the table here as it's always quant and enjoyable. I like the addition of the blackboard showing recommendations!

    We came here last Friday with our family since the wait Nextdoor at oops sushi was too long for our kids lol. The restaurant is super casual and perfect for a chill dinner. The staff was so warm and welcoming and super kid friendly. They brought over kids plates and utensils and unbreakable glasses. We weren't having meat so we got the spicy vegan ramen and tanmen ramen and the kids split a kids ramen. It's pricey but pretty much what everyone is charging for a bowl of ramen these days but the portion sizes are big! We also got the eggplant and garlic string beans which were yummy. Big plus was the ramen came out HOT. Not warm but HOT. I always get annoyed when it comes out warm lol. It was a great dinner and we will definitely be back on a night we can eat meat and go big with the pork. Ps. I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's nice to know it's still serving good ramen despite the changes surrounding it.

    Cold Noodle (Hiyashi)- refreshing!

    Such a cute little place and the servers were nice and attentive. The cold soup is refreshing+light and the apple slices are a nice sweet touch

    Chicken karage and Thai Noodle Salad
    Eileen F.

    Wow wow wow! This place looks so unassuming but they pack a PUNCH! Highlights: - Parking lot with space available - Clean interior space - Friendly staff - Food was 10/10. Eggplant miso was as good as the reviews on Yelp say - flavor was high impact and super umami. Chicken karage was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside and super moist and juicy inside. The marinade (the traditional ginger flavor) had penetrated into the meat so every bite was delicious. Comes with a cabbage salad with delicious sesame miso dressing. Thai noodle salad was my favorite - refreshing and filled with acid. Not super Thai, but did the job. I also got the egg drop tan tan ramen - broth was delicious to drink on its own but flavor wasn't strong enough to penetrate the noodles. Excited to come again to try more dishes!

    Menu as of 8/6/23

    We have been craving Ramenya for their Tenshinmin which is a ramen with crab omelette on top. We have been a customer for many years since they were on Olympic Blvd. we arrived before they opened on Saturday, 8/6/23 and decided to eat at a restaurant on Sawtelle. We then ate again at Ramenya when they opened at 5pm. We were so excited and the taste is still there, loved the nostalgic feeling and memories of eating this delicious ramen. The service was fantastic! Everyone was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is modern, clean and cool. They have tables available for dine in. My daughter ordered the short rib bowl which is a boneless kalbi and rice with a side of miso soup. We enjoyed our meal. Just wished there were more noodles in the ramen. The kalbi was good but pricey for the little amount of food you get. It was nice to be back and whenever we crave for tenshinmin, Ramenya is the place we will always go to. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area. Parking available.

I remember going here during their grand opening ages ago, did their, back then, super cheap deal with unlimited noodle refill (even further discounted due to the special event day) and eating to the point of barely being able to sit up in the car without throwing up. I have a picture of my brother eating here in middle school with us and then later on in his early 20's. Crazy time lapse, and truly shows what a favorite this place is and it's place in the community. As with all businesses in Little Tokyo, parking can suck (not as bad as K-town, but you're either paying or super circling around). Service is super efficient, welcoming and polite, as with their other locations as well. It's not the biggest restaurant, but none of the Shinsengumis I've been to have been particularly large. With this location, from my first visit, and all the subsequent visits, I always get their Hakata ramen, firmer noodles, since the longer I eat and enjoy the food, they'll soften a bit, less soup oil and less saltiness. I get all of the toppings that it comes with and I always add in a poached egg. Love the strong pork flavor since they stew their broth for so long and the tenderness of the chashu (sometimes I order more). Prices have definitely gone up and a slightly altered upgraded version of this ramen is almost $30 if you're not careful enough. Times have changed but how good this place hasn't. There's more ramen options now than there were like 10 years ago, but Shinsengumi is always a classic.

We ordered a chicken karaage to start and it wasn't bad, nothing to write home about though. Since the pieces were large, it was slightly awkward to eat without any plates, and I was just catching the crumbs with my hand (didn't have the ramens at the time). Also got a yuzu beer to try and it was delicious, nice yuzu flavor with some tanginess. I had the shoyu with duck while my husband had the yama tonkotsu that came with fragrant black garlic oil. The tonkotsu is not one of those rich, milky, creamy ones and I personally like these lighter ones more. I also enjoyed the shoyu which had a pleasant depth of flavor, but it felt like it was relying too heavily on MSG for umami. Noodles came out chewy. Definitely not the best ramens I've had but are some of the better ones in LA. Our server was friendly, as were the rest of the staff. Service was quick. The restaurant decor feels straight out of Japan, an extra bit of fun. There's a $10 paid lot behind this block of buildings that's convenient for anything in this part of Little Tokyo.
