I ordered the Classic Ramen with chicken for delivery. The broth was fantastic. Overall, the ramen was very good and arrived in great condition. My only disappointment was the chicken. There wasn't much of it, and the quality didn't seem to match the rest of the dish. Given how excellent the broth and noodles were, I was expecting a better protein option. If the chicken portion were larger and of higher quality, this would have been an outstanding meal. read more

Was looking for some good vegan ramen place and found this. Per reviews this place was supposed to have veggie and spicy veggies noodles ramen that can be vegan and sounded really good, so we thought to give it a try. Unfortunately they don't have rice noodles, only egg noodles so that was a bummer...loved the veggie soup though which we had with rice on side so was there for ramen but couldn't have it . Service was great, the staff was very accommodating though. The place nice is great but they didn't had the AC working so it was hot and humid inside despite being running a big cooler inside. Overall I wasn't impressed with food and ambience. read more

Service was great and, as always, the food was great. I ordered my go-to dish, The Blaze. It did not disappoint. FYI, I ordered noodles and broth for a 3-year-old. Together, they were $10.50 + tax. That was surprising. read more

I went through a phase of ordering the Blaze ramen at least weekly and sometimes twice a week. Even now, I order it around once or twice a month when I crave ramen. The restaurant itself is always crazy fast with delivery, and they package everything perfectly every time. Their Blaze ramen is my favorite ramen in Charlotte. The broth is creamy without being heavy. The noodles, pork, bean sprouts, spinach, green onion, seaweed, and seasoned egg are such a perfect combination. I order mine medium spicy - and if you're sensitive to spice it might be too much. It's definitely hot, but not enough to stop you from finishing the bowl. I'm no ramen connoisseur, but I can confidently say this ramen is worth trying! read more

Wonderful atmosphere at this restaurant. I had a seat at the bar, and was served incredibly fast. The food was delicious and well priced. If I'm in charlotte again, I will be coming by for another bowl read more

This is a chain we love! We know it's in other cities and yes, you can get it anywhere but this location is special! I really feel like the people who work here care and want you to have a good experience. I always get the Cajun ramen and I always forget to take a picture! This place is just as simple as it gets with ramen and it's consistent every time! read more

Silverlake Ramen - Karaage and Spicy Chicken Bun - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I got the Classic Ramen and it had a lot of flavor, especially having this smoky or burnt undertone to the broth which made it exquisite. The aftertaste is creamy and the pork helps bring it up. It comes with fewer pork slices than other ones I've tried in the area, but I enjoyed regardless. Staff was kind and checked in often, and the place had a clean slick modern vibe. More lighting on the corner tables would help since it felt relatively dark and shadowed while we ate at ours. read more

Was in the mood for something warm and cozy and silverlake hit the spot. Came with friends on their 1st time and they loveddd it.

Silverlake Ramen - Garlic Truffle - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is right off Park Road, a short walk from most apartment complexes off of southline. There is bar seating and tables inside and outside. The service is friendly and they are very attentive if you're eating in (likewise for takeout but it's a quicker interaction). I got the blaze, their most popular ramen dish, with pork and medium-spicy. They do not play around with spice! Come prepared for authentic spice levels - not the "white people spicy" that seems to run rampant with Asian food in the area. It's also not spice without flavor - the broth is rich and creamy, the seasoned egg is ooey gooey, the pork is fatty and flavorful, the bean sprouts are crunchy and fresh, and the noodles are delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Blaze ramen - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Quick lunch with coworkers. Blaze Ramen was really good, staff was very friendly and helpful with menu choices. I don't eat Ramen as much as I think I would like to so I, in a general sense, don't have much of a frame of reference but this was really good. The Blaze had just the right amount of heat and was very tasty. Noodles were cooked perfectly to my taste. I will be visiting again. read more

The food really hit the spot! Their apps are my favorite part. The gyoza are so crispy and I come solely for those. They have a great deal on the chicken bowl and the spicy sauce they use on the chicken is quite yummy, we always ask for extra. I am not the biggest ramen fan but I tried the Blaze. While it was good, I would rather have the chicken. read more

As a Californian, (and someone who has actually been to Silverlake) I thought I should add my review. Clean restaurant with good Ramen. The plates were displayed beautifully and the food itself was good. I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy rice under my spicy tuna (and the tuna wasn't very spicy without the jalapeño on top). I'd probably just stick to the Ramen, next time. read more

Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna (3/5): I liked the blend of hot rice cake and cold tuna. The crispy rice was pretty good, but the spicy tuna was just ok. Garlic Truffle Ramen (2/5): This is probably good for those who like mushrooms, but it was too mushroom-y/bitter for me. read more

Silverlake Ramen Ambience - 5.0 This is a small, easy to miss spot with very limited seating. If you are looking for comfort, this may not be the spot for you. It's a bit noisy due to the size. The counter seating literally faces a blank black wall. You can hear the kitchen on the other side but you can't see anything. Service - 7.0 Service is super fast. So fast that you often do t have time to ask for things like more water before they are gone again. That being said they were polite and helpful when you could catch them. Food - 6.5 Chicken Karaage - this was nice and crispy, though under seasoned. I didn't love the sauce it came with, compared to other places I've had this dish. Blaze Ramen with chicken - The creamy pork broth was tasty, but lacked a depth of flavor. The spice was simply hot, again not feeling like it was an integrated part of the dish. Noodles were a nice texture. This fell between a grocery store ramen and the other restaurant ramens for me. Creamy brocollini - The brocollini was well cooked, but the sesame sauce was extremely heavy on fish sauce. Pork belly Bao - also fair. The bao was pre-made and pasty. The pork belly could have used more sauce. Overall - 6.5 I was rather underwhelmed. I probably won't be back, but as always, I recommend people try for themselves as my tastebuds may be very different from yours. read more

Craving ramen on a cold evening, I chose Silverlake because they're in the dining rewards program so I not only had a delicious meal, I earned some AAdvantage miles. Hooray. Greeted and seated immediately, my waiter brought my menu and a glass of water. I chose the combo and it did not take very long at all. Both my creamy broccolini appetizer and the classic tonkotsu ramen arrived at the same time. Broccolini was delicious and while a little challenging with chopsticks, I managed to demolish it. Yummy! The ramen was next. Rich broth with a lovely slice of grilled pork on top (they also do impossible meats here!) with the soft boiled egg and plenty of perfectly al dente noodles. Yes, I drained the bowl down to the last drop. Fabulous. Next time, I think I'll try the chicken karaage bowl. Looked great at the next table.

Okay, I like being proven wrong or at least seeing a place correct their issues. With Futo Buta closed and my need strong for some spicy ramen to combat the flu, I ordered some fire shoyu and tucked in. Now, I hadn't eaten much so maybe my hunger was a factor too but the ramen was so much better this time. The chicken was tender but not fall-apart tender (a definite negative in soup eaten with chopsticks) and the stock was good enough to make me keep the leftovers. I really appreciated the touch of fresh cilantro for an additional undertone of what was already a delicious meal. Oh, and the seasoned egg? Chef's kiss. For starters I also had the fried pork gyoza, and that was spot on. The sauce also had quite a kick. I marked down a star because the veggies are still very sparse (other than the green onions) and honestly, if any seaweed was in there I didn't notice it. Still, a huge improvement over the first time and encouraging enough to inspire return visits. Good job! read more

I looove love love the blaze ramen with pork, medium spicy, if you can't handle heat definitely get the mild. I've been hyperfixating on it while sick, I've had it three times this week. I'm honestly really sad today though because I paid for extra egg and got less pork? The past two times I've had it I've had two pieces of pork.. today added an egg for 2.50 !! and only got one piece, it's not like it was abnormally large or I'd understand :( I know its not that deep but if I'm paying 20 bucks for ramen I feel like the portions should be consistent, that's all. I was just disappointed, still gonna be delicious tho. The service is always nice too, maybe I just got lucky the other two times idk read more

This is my second favorite ramen spot in CLT. The bowl of ramen was delicious. The broth is rich and savory. The ramen noodles aren't instant noodles. I always get disappointed when ramen places in CLT have those... They have two locations: one in south end and concord. The restaurant is chill and the interior design is nice: Japanese animation ramen theme. The staff pay attention to you and are nice. Check this place out if you are craving ramen. read more

Silverlake Ramen in South End is great for dine-in or to-go. The spicy ramen is ON POINT! Their broth is flavorful and they have a chicken option so that is always great for me since I do not do pork broth. They have a nice outdoor space which I love, and service is good. If I'm in the South End area I usually tend to lean towards Futo Buta for Ramen, but this is my next best option if the wait is insane. read more

funny thing about the authentic ramen experience is that aside from the geography of origin it is the nearly the same as the authentic fried chicken experience. NO pomp, NO circumstance, just poor people food: my mother, 'Mikki' P. (nee Hanashiro (of the Nago Hanashiros)) used to open two packages of Ichiban, break the noodles in half into not enough boily water, add red miso, fish paste, scallions, spinach, nine-spice, poach a couple eggs and serve it over a bit of yesterday's rice for dinner. so this must be a chicken joint... came in search of real sustenance after picking up trifles around the corner and took a seat at the bar. a friendly greeting was followed by a menu and little chit chat. started with a Kirin followed by $20 worth of Kaarage split between the app plate and the rice bowl. nice thickish crunchily breaded bird chunks served with lemon slices and a zippy little aioli that made my heart sing... the rice bowl featured more fried chicken on top of a pile of hot moist rice slathered in the orange-hued goodness with shreds of ginger and bits of scallion tossed about. the chicken was so hot that it must have come right out of the skillet onto my plate. ow! hot! so yea, it's a chicken joint, a very good chicken joint, but it's a chicken joint that also serves soup. now if I could just get an Orion... read more

Very solid ramen spot! Quick and friendly service with good portion sizes and plenty of different kinds of ramen to choose from. I went with their classic ramen and it was very very good. They were a little heavy on the black garlic oil, but it was still very good. Need to go again! read more

Came in on a Monday evening for the BOGO ramen special they have going right now. We came for an early dinner so we beat the rush. The service was good and fast and the ramen was quite tasty. I had the truffle ramen. I didn't get that much of the truffle flavor, but it was still yummy. The chili oil was a nice addition for some heat. My friend who is an anime fan also enjoyed the theme. We both agreed we'd visit again. read more

Quick Ramen date with my nibbling. He got the classic and I got the Garlic Truffle ramen. I wasn't in love with my noodles and we don't didn't love our broth. I would have preferred the Classic broth. This was the first time I ate inside the restaurant. Service was less than pleasant.

Nice little place on the corner of a strip mall area. I think I drove by it twice trying to find it. Parking is a little crazy but you can park on the street behind the strip. The atmosphere was really chill. It looks like there's still opening because the bar wasn't fully set up but it appeared to be on its way though. Not a lot of space inside for a lot of people but they didn't have a lot of like sushi bar side seating. And there are some seating outside as well. The service here is great. No waiting! Just sitting, ordering, and stuffing face. The food was absolutely amazing I will definitely be going back here a few times a week if I can deal with the traffic. Because it's good as this food is me and traffic did not get along. So if you catch yourself downtown in the area this place and you're wondering if you should stop in, the answer is yes... Yes you should. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch pickup up. Ordered thru the ChowNow app. And live how it's very convenient. My order: Pork bun: 1/5 the bun is the usual size bun. But when you open it up. It's lacking all the ingredients to make it a good pork bun. For 3.75 each. It just isn't worth it nor the taste is great to spend on it. Very little meat. A 1/4 of the size of the bun. Lacking onions, sauce etc. one bite and you ate all the ingredients and left with plenty of bun left. The classic ramen: 4/5 very hearty and tasted great. Broth is well made. But I have to remember to do extra pork belly. Plenty of veggies. All in all. Ramen here are good. Not sure I'll ever get the pork bun again. read more

Pretty subpar ramen, got the blaze and the only flavor was the chili oil, some of the broth flavor came through but nothing impressive compared to other ramen joints in the city. Got the black truffle ramen as well and it tasted like almost nothing except garlic. Really unpleasant first bite got slightly better as it went on. Noodle size, shape and texture varied wildly within and across both bowls. The noodles in the black truffle were straight up raw and undercooked at times. Just go to Futo Buta or Jinya, this place is just as expensive but nowhere as close to the quality you'll get the other places read more

This will be my new go-to spot for ramen. I wasn't looking for ramen at the moment but stumbled across this location and decided to try it. The menu is not overly crowded or fancy but there is a variety of choices. The restaurant was very clean and maintained. The workers were all very polite and kind. They checked to make sure everything was good. I had come about 40 minutes before closing which I try not to do but was desperate for food. before closing so I could tell they were eager to leave getting closer to time (I have worked in restaurants and the hospitality industry so I know the feeling). Nothing to complain about, they let me finish in peace while doing their closing tasks. Order: Classic Combo comes with a ramen dish and one appetizer - I got the classic ramen with chicken and 1 additional egg and the pork gyoza (4 pieces). I additional got the Pork Bun. read more

Went to silver lake tonight for the first time. The food was all right, but the thing that really sold me was the buy one get one free on Thursday nights. They have a ton of other great deals, but if you're looking for a cheap date night on a lonely Thursday this is your place. Our entire bill for 3 people was $35 and we got 3 bowls of ramen and 2 appetizers. I will say I got the spicy shoyu and it was VERY spicy. Would definitely recommend getting ice cream after.... Or at least having a great excuse to go get it. read more
