Senia O.

Absolutely -- for Yelp/Google, I'd make it more concise, punchy, and personal, while keeping the specific food recommendations and the staffing issue because those are the most useful details for other diners. 3.9/5 I was craving gyozas and wanted to take my son somewhere nearby for a little pre-birthday celebration, so we decided to try this spot in Cerritos. First impressions: We walked in and stood around for about two minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We were eventually told we could sit wherever we wanted and were given menus pretty quickly. However, it took another seven minutes or so before anyone came over to take our drink or food order. We ordered the gyozas, broccolini, pork bun, and two ramen bowls. Gyozas -- 4/5 Really good! Fresh and flavorful. They only came with one dipping sauce, so if you're a soy sauce person, I'd recommend asking for some on the side. Broccolini -- 4/5 Crispy, flavorful, and had a nice tang from the sauce. Definitely one of my favorites. Pork Bun -- 4/5 Another must-try! Honestly, the gyozas, broccolini, and pork bun are the three things I'd recommend ordering. All three were fresh and flavorful. Ramen -- 4/5 Both bowls were tasty. My only complaint was that my ramen didn't have as much broth as I expected. The chicken, however, was VERY flavorful and incredibly tender. I added extra garlic and mushrooms and substituted spinach for the kale, and those additions worked really well. The service This is where the experience fell short. We went on a Monday around 6 p.m., and the restaurant was pretty full. It was very obvious they were short-staffed. Kennedy seemed to be doing EVERYTHING -- taking orders, serving, getting refills, helping with takeout, and cleaning. There was also a gentleman bringing food out, who I assume was the food runner. I have to give Kennedy credit because she was working hard, but one person shouldn't have to carry that much of the restaurant during a busy dinner service. We also weren't checked on after our food arrived, so getting refills or anything else we needed was difficult. I really hope the staffing situation was just an off night because I think having at least three people on the floor during a busy dinner period would make a huge difference. Customer Service: 3.8/5 Music: 5/5 I was LOVING the music. Definitely vibing the entire time! Cleanliness: 5/5 The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. I didn't use the bathrooms, so I can't speak to those. Decor/Aesthetics: 5/5 I really liked the atmosphere and decor. A little dimmer lighting could make it feel even cozier. The one thing I'd change is the bar area. There were quite a few containers stacked around it, which made it look a little cluttered and less inviting. Overall 3.9/5 I enjoyed the food and the overall vibe, and I'd come back to try some other menu items. If you're going, don't skip the gyozas, broccolini, and pork bun! Those were definitely the standouts for me. The biggest thing holding this place back for me was the service, but it seemed more like a staffing issue than an issue with the staff themselves. Kennedy was clearly doing her best and was working extremely hard with 6 tables by herself and having to clean the tables as patrons arrived Thank You Kennedy!!!!

On a random day my kids say they want ramen so Silverlake Ramen here we come First time here and I was not disappointed at all the waiter had us seated Right away Atmosphere was good , and so what's the viewing on the menu here was easy and simple Man I say I was good when it come time to eat all of it was gone but good eating

Ramen was devoured by the kiddo

Great experience, got seated right away. Plenty of seating. Everything was nice and clean. Waitress was attentive and brought everything in a timely manner. Food was great, ordered Blaze, Truffle Ramen and a couple appetizers that were great.

Shoyu ramen bowl Pork, seaweed, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, green onions.

I just stopped into silver lake ramen in Cerritos. I've been hesitant to try ramen place until I actually had a craving for ramen, well today is the day! The place has a cool vibe to it hard to explain it in words but felt relaxed as I came in. I ordered some Gyoza on the side and the main meal was the Shoyu Ramen dish with pork as a protein, bamboo shoots, seaweed, spinach, green onion, seasoned egg and pork. I also had a regular Coke to wash it down! Looks really good huh? Ok gyoza is really tasty, a bit of spiciness to it but you can put lemon juice on it makes it good. Ramen is really good also I like it! Check this place out, very tasty food!

Noodles, garlic, pork, egg, mushrooms, seaweed.
Dynelle L.

Delicious noodles. My entire family enjoyed it. Friendly costumer service and they are fast.

Chicken karaage
Vanessa C.

The aesthetic? Artistic, cozy, and just nice. It's giving "I'm about to have a really good meal" vibes. Let's talk about the water real quick because YES it matters. You know how restaurant water sometimes tastes a little... suspicious? Not here. This water was crispy, clean, well-filtered perfection No weird aftertaste. Respect. The creamy broccolini??? So good that my boyfriend -- a known broccoli hater -- admitted it slapped. I don't know what sauce they put on it, but I need it by the cup immediately. Chicken karaage: FIRE. I'm usually picky about chicken because of texture, but this one? Crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, and once again... the sauce is doing the heavy lifting in the best way possible. Now the main event We both got the blaze ramen. The noodles have the PERFECT consistency. The broth is insanely flavorful and smooth. I got the medium spice, and it's actually medium (not "medium but secretly spicy enough to ruin your day"). Every topping works -- spinach, bean sprouts, all of it. And can we talk about the egg being INCLUDED? No upcharge nonsense here, thank you very much. The pork is so juicy it literally melts apart like it knows its purpose in life. Service? Top tier. Kendal G was doing the most -- running the floor when we first got there AND still giving immaculate service. He even put the hockey game on for me That's how you win loyal customers. Overall: great food, great vibes, great service. Silverlake Ramen understood the assignment. Will absolutely be back.

Found bug in ramen
Stephanie A.

THERE WAS A BUG IN OUR RAMEN!! - we ordered the shoyu ramen on Aug 28th. By the looks of it, it didn't just land on it, most likely the bug was cooked in the broth. So disappointing. We used to be regulars.

Spicy Chicken Bun
Jenny L.

Service is friendly with touches of LA seen throughout the store. I had the spicy chicken bun and ordered a bowl of Blaze with medium spicy-ness. The bun itself mentioned it had ghost pepper, the flavor was okay, the nap was sweet and it lessened the heat from the chicken. The bowl of ramen itself was flavorful and at the medium heat level, did cause my nose to run a little but it wasn't too hot, the noodles were chewy. I had also tried the karaage, I wish it was crunchier and needed the sauce. Stars taken due to overall experience. The floors were wet when they opened, I was careful walking around but definitely slipped moving around. There was a strong smell of vinegar coming from the kitchen at one point that didn't go away until the food started to be ordered/coming out. If someone wanted ramen, I wouldn't mind going back but I wouldn't be the one asking to come.

Robert Q.

The chashu here is absolutely elite. Perfectly soft, juicy, fatty with no stinky flavor. Tonkotsu broth is full of flavor as well. Idk how I feel about spinach in the ramen. Noodles are just OK Service was really slow. We sat down and weren't served until 40mins later. Busy night. Go Dodgers

Shoyu Combo (Ramen Appetizer) with Crispy Chicken Karaage
Brock H.

Passed by this place so many times, today was my forst time getting Silverlake Ramen. Ordered the combo with (4) Chicken Karaage. It's pretty good, took only 7-8 minutes from ordering to be prepared. The sitting area is nice, wasn't packed but had good seats and space compared to other ramen establishments. The only thing stopping this one from 5 stars is there are ramen houses that aren't chains in the area with better broth and slightly bigger portions, but this was a fair order. I'll be going back and trying one of the spicy bowls in the future.

Chicken ramen
Laura G.

Ramen is always great here. It has a great temperature when they serve it to you. No need to be afraid of burning your tongue. This location is small and you will feel panicky if you're claustrophobic, but if you're normal, then it won't bother you. We came on a rainy Saturday today and it took 45 mins to be seated. Overall, service is normal. Food is good. $45 for 2 ramen bowls.

Are dogs allowed?

We brought a dog in but she was inside of a carrier and no one was bothered by her, but it was also a discreet situation! I'd say try it! I don't think it will be an issue.

I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen with extra veggies, and it was incredible. My friend had the Umaya Ramen and said it was the best ramen he's ever had. My son ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and gave it a 10/10. We also shared the Pork Belly Oshi, and wow--it was amazing. Honestly, y'all are missing out if you haven't tried Umaya Ramen. I'm surprised there isn't a line out the door! Another huge plus: they're open late until 1 a.m. and the music creates a great vibe. We'll definitely be back!

I've been coming here for a years, but my recent visit Friday night was incredibly disappointing. Word is that management is revamping the menu, but the execution right now is a major step backward. The Food & Drink: * The Ramen: The soup arrived at the table cold, and the broth was completely bland. The noodles had a distinct chalky texture, and the entire bowl felt like it was put together using pre-packaged, "out of a bag" ingredients rather than being made with care. * The Sake: I ordered a hot sake, but it was served tepid. The Cleanliness: The physical state of the dining area needs immediate attention. Both our dining table and the sake carafe itself were noticeably sticky to the touch. It was telling that on a night when next door restaurants were packed, Umaya was almost entirely empty. The Silver Lining: The one bright spot of the evening was the waitstaff. The servers were actually very good, attentive, and polite. It was the waitstaff that have me upgrading from 1 stars to 2 stars. I hope management takes a hard look at these menu changes and cleanliness standards. Until they fix the food quality and bring back what made this place great, I won't be returning.

Restaurant quality just hasn't been the same, but that is not the case here. Over the years their team has continued to offer delicious food and a nice casual dining experience. The store is small and cozy, so not great for parties larger than 4, though I'd really just suggest 2. Great for lunch or a low key dinner, it is one of my go-to for ramen spots. I really love their white miso tsukemen, the thick noodles are slightly chilled and served with a wedge of lime which is a nice way to lighten the very rich broth. I've had their red miso before but its deeper flavor is a bit too powerful for my taste, so for those who like something with more umph, that's a great choice as well.

I had originally asked for the regular ramen with added pork, but ended up with the tonkotsu miso instead, which was okay. The biggest issue for me was how extremely salty the broth was. It was so salty that instead of enjoying the soup as intended, I could only add about two spoonfuls to my noodles. I really wanted to enjoy it, but the saltiness completely overpowered the other flavors. I also tried the spicy pork bun, which unfortunately tasted like it had been pre-frozen and then steamed. The texture and overall taste just didn't feel particularly fresh. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but overall, this just wasn't the experience I was hoping for. Given the Michelin recognition and the expectations that came with it, I left feeling quite disappointed. Unfortunately, not one of my better ramen experiences.

A few months ago my wife and I wanted to eat at Kitakata Buena Park. We understood there would be a wait. What we could not bear was the strong, revolting smell of sewage wafting through the parking lot just outside the restaurant. The smell had nothing to do with the restaurant. The smell came from a sewer line somewhere in the vicinity of the restaurant. Be that as it may, we left about five minutes into our wait. I knew that waiting any longer for a seat inside the restaurant would result in my wife and I eating our meal with the stench of sewage tainting every slurp and every bite. The problem is a city sewage problem, but Kitakata bears the burden. Please let me know the problem has been addressed by the city and I will return.
