    Fried Gyoza 6 pcs
    Denawa A.

    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. Great vibes, great service and good food was the best combination for an afternoon of giggling with the girls. Wasn't crowded around noon and perfect spot for a quick lunch

    Classic Ramen
    Manuel G.

    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.

    Blaze ramen
    Rebecca V.

    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.

    Chicken Karaage Bowl
    Rachel M.

    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.

    Crispy Rice w Spicy Tuna
    Michelle F.

    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.

    Chicken Karaage
    Ian N.

    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.

    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.

    Tonkotsu ramen at Silverlake Ramen, South End, Charlotte
    Bruce K.

    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.

    Blaze ramen

    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

    Ugh always my consistent go to for ramen! I've been loving this place for the past couple of years since they opened their charlotte location. The garlic truffle ramen is my go to! So good!!

    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.

We circled for about 10 minutes, fighting off three other cars, before finally finding a spot. We arrived just before opening on Sunday and were seated promptly. The place was clean, and the ordering process was straightforward. However, they nickel and dimed you for everything. We ordered two pork bun and black tonkotsu ramens with the recommended extras. The pork buns were small and came with shredded pork, which I don't like. The ramen was small for $18, and the flavors were okay. But something was off with the broth. When I asked our waitress for some chili sauce, she told us to order it through the app, which goes back to my previous comment about being nickel and dimed for everything. In total, our bill came to $67.55, which I thought was a rip-off for just okay ramen. I won't be returning because I've found much better ramen elsewhere at much lower prices.

It took 10 minutes to even be addressed by staff in the lobby, where there were numerous people waiting to be either sat for dine in, order placing, and order pick up. A table of 4 walked in right before me for dine in service. Then I placed my to go order. All I ordered was pan fried gyoza and a side of steamed rice. I had a discount to add, which the hostess did not know how to do, so I had to wait for someone else to come to the front in order to pay. Someone finally came up and I was able to pay. While I was waiting on my food, I noticed another woman was there to pick up her to go order and she was not addressed by any staff for almost 15 minutes. I continued waiting for my food for over 30 minutes-for a single appetizer and side of rice. By 45 minutes, I was letting other people that came in know how long the food was taking. Another woman who was waiting on her to go order heard me say it had taken a while and said she had placed her order ahead but a lot of time had still elapsed by the time it was ready. They brought her order out and I had to ask another server if they could check for my order. When they finally brought it out, it had been over 45 minutes. As I was talking to the server, the party that walked in before me for dine in service had finished their meals and were leaving the restaurant. I asked for a refund, which the server obliged and apologized for. Once I got back to the office and opened my food, it was disappointing to say the least. The "pan fried" gyoza was barely fried, and the dumplings were so gooey that they were sticking to each other and the plate and falling apart. Every time I try to give Jinya a chance, I am disappointed again and again. After returning to the office, I spoke with other coworkers who have all had similar experiences recently. Suffice to say I definitely won't be giving them any more chances.

I ordered their Doza Ramen, which looked spicy from the pictures...but I ended up with a very mild broth, with hardly any red chile sauce or spice to it at all. I even asked if they can add more chili and/or spice to it, and the waitress basically said that's not possible (What?!? Of course you can!!). Anyway, she said I can add Siracha sauce. (???) Guess she assumed this was the first time I had ramen lol?!? The Pork Chashu was nice and tender, but very small portion...and a tiny portion of ground pork (of beef?) and mushroom as well. Just skimpy toppings all around...yet this bowl was priced 18 bucks. I also hated how they didn't even bother to split open the egg. Also, I wasn't a fan of their super-thin noodles either. Just look at how unappetizing this bowl looked! So basically, this ramen struck out on several accounts. Possibly the weakest ramen I've had in a restaurant in years?? I managed to down at least one third of it though. Then this Sampler Tempura. While the portion of plentiful, I thought the batter was weak...and well, some of the veggie tempura just tasted BAD. Especially the Brussel Sprouts (which I normally love) had this sour taste to it? I was also disappointed that they didn't include Broccoli in the mix. I was only able to eat half of this. Just not that good. I just can't sugarcoat it. I was not into their ramen or this sampler tempura. Both too mild...very bland. Also...they charge you an additional dollar if you use credit card.
