I came here for an early dinner and ordered the Spicy Tongue Katsu Ramen, adding a side of gyoza for just an extra $3--bringing the total to $20. For that price, I thought it was an incredible deal, especially considering the massive portions. The ramen itself was pretty good. The noodles were well-cooked, and while the broth was tasty, it was a bit thicker than I personally prefer. That said, the absolute MVP of the bowl was the sliced pork--it was amazing. The gyoza were also really delicious and a perfect side. To top it all off, the customer service was fantastic and easily some of the best I've experienced. I'll definitely be back! read more

I tried the classic ramen with chicken, I really enjoyed it with the toppings. I also asked for some chili oil on the side for some extra spice! We also tried the spicy blaze which was yummy, I think a bit too spicy for me but still really flavorful. You can do a combo deal of an appetizer with a ramen bowl, we got the broccolini which was cooked perfectly and the fried chicken. Service was great and a good relaxing spot. You'll mostly likely have left overs! read more

Silverlake Ramen - Classic - Ramen Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

I've tried both the Concord and Charlotte locations. The Concord is definitely my favorite. The service is always fast and attentive. The food has always been on point. The vibes inside with the anime figurines, KPop playing, and local artwork is chefs kiss. My go to is the Blaze. I do like the fact that they have veggie/tofu options for the plant based people out there. There isn't too much space inside if it's busy but they do to go and it's just as fast. read more

Solid food option, not a very wide menu, staff was slightly tight (2 wait staff for entire place). Fairly quick service. Ramen was okay, the fried chicken looks heavy batter but very light and juicy. Place has modern decor and interest mural. read more

I went here while out shopping. I was slightly confused walking in if I seated myself or ordered first at the bar...I think a sign would be helpful at the door. I had the classic with pork belly. I was served quickly. The flavor was good but I think there should be more meat. The broth was fire hot but the noodles pretty cold. I think warming the noodles would help because the heat left the broth quickly. It's a nice interior with ample seating...music playing a little loud so if I was with someone I think conversation would have been difficult. I'll be back I know. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Classic (Tonkatsu) Pork Belly - Ramen Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

You'll need to order extra meat if you like having various slices, you only get one with the classic ramen coming to $17 after tax, where I'm used to getting two in other places for the same price. Nothing critical about the place but nothing extraordinary either. The broth has good taste, it's smokey, but I think the broth volume was slightly less portion than the location in South End. Ordinary service and clean place overall. read more

I came here with a friend on a Monday night and it is a simple and casual ramen place! The servers were overall nice, but just seemed ready to go home and not as engaging with us. I got the Spicy Veggie Ramen and my friend got the Garlic Truffle Ramen. While we both enjoyed our meals and it was pretty filling, we both agreed it could have used a little more flavor for the ramen broth. Overall it's a nice quick stop to go to if you're in the mood for something warm, however, I wouldn't consider it my #1 spot for ramen. I encourage you to give it a try for yourself! read more

Silverlake Ramen - Spicy Veggie - Ramen Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Hip hop and ramen, what could be better? I came here on a weekday night and the atmosphere was casual. They had a solid playlist going and lighting that wasn't too bright, not too dark that set the mood. They had a seating area towards the back that was designed for solo diners which I appreciated. Service was fast and easy. Everything was brought to my table in under 5 minutes it was actually crazy. I ordered the Shoyu on Fire (extra spicy) with chicken. The broth was the right amount of spicy and had some nice flavor. The corn in the ramen was a good touch as it cuts the spice a little bit when slurping the broth. I wish there was just a little more chicken in this dish, as the protein went along with it well. The ramen noodles themselves were pretty good. They were firm and chewy, and plenty of them to go along with the spicy broth. I would definitely come back to try the other things on the menu that look great! read more

Wife and I were wanting something warm and comforting to brace the cold we'd been experiencing. This place does ramen really well. Both ramen dishes we got were rich and filling, they warmed us up really well. There are no complaints on how good the ramen was. My only complaint is that there's no kids options on the menu, yet they have high chairs. Also the music that was playing was extremely inappropriate for the public. Talking about stroking and changing positions.... Would be a 5/5 if the music wasn't lewd, and if they had more kid options to match the high chairs. read more

The menu items are delectable. On my latest visit, I enjoyed the Garlic Truffle Ramen. This is a blend of creamy pork, vegetable broth, garlic, truffle oil, kale, mushrooms, black pepper, seaweed, and a seasoned egg (as per the menu). I also enjoyed the White Peach Sake (another new favorite). The dish may be my new favorite. It was great to see the restaurant beginning to fill with patrons as the dinner hour approached on a Saturday afternoon. You can't go wrong with a hot bowl of ramen. read more

Food: doesn't taste good. It is far from being a good ramen. The bowl is extremely large for what a Ramen should be and it is very expensive too. Gyozas were not good. Service: slow, inattentive. Ambience: just ok ! Small restaurant in the middle of others that are better. Skip it. There are far better ramens in town, unfortunately none in the area. read more

A quick shout out to the guy who left another review about this restaurant saying that the miso was the best. That's why I ended up going. read more

Best ramen! I live in Charlotte and I always get my food delivered. Every delivery is a 10/10 experience. The orders are correct and they deliver ramen the best. Everything is separated and sealed which keeps everything fresh. The resturant itself is a cute cozy space. I've never dined in but look forward to doing so. read more

I enjoyed my time at Siverlake Ramen. I didn't realize this was a franchise since I have been to the Silverlake area near Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Much better experience this time around dining in. The food was good and the service was excellent. Pricing was phenomenal for 2 people. Sani rating was a little low.

This was my second visit to this restaurant. I am a creature of habit, and if I like a particular menu item, I will order it over and over again. With that being said, I ordered the combo with the Shoyu on Fire Ramen with the crispy chicken karaage. I like the spice of this ramen as well as the pork. The chicken was very tasty too. I also tried the creamy broccolini. I highly recommend it. It has a nice char and nice flavor. read more

This spot is has provided consistent service and flavors. I always order an extra side of noodles and chicken for the kids since that's really all they want, and they always enjoy it.

Silverlake ramen has been a place I usually order takeout from but today I had the pleasure of dining in. The pork belly bun and edamame were a great way to start of the meal. The rainy weather then drew me to a nice and warm bowl of ramen. Specifically the Spicy Tonkotsu with pork belly and highest spice level. It was nothing short of spicy and delicious. The music was also just right, R&B classics, my fave. To top it off, our server Audrey was very patient and attentive. Will for sure be dining in more often! read more

Good to see more food diversity in Concord area, the only positive thing from all the land clearing development. Anyway, this is not an authentic ramen restaurant, they added some American flavor into it. Portion size quite good for us Americans. Ramen is chewy and broth is very savory and drinkable. What I mean is the broth doesn't taste like it is from a can. Appetizer pan fried gyozas is a must, even if you are not that hungry. Parking lot is small so lunch time crowd maybe a problem. read more

Cool little spot we found outside of concord mills mall. My daughter loved the ramen bowl. My pork/rice bowl was also delicious. We got this version of chicken tenders/nuggets that I could tell by the temp and the fact they came out in less than four minutes that they had sitting out for a minute and or previously cooked.. they were at best 100degrees and was actually a little worried about eating them cause that's not a safe holding temperature. But we were in a hurry so we just enjoyed the rest of the meal . Friendly service but if they would have done the proper table touch to ask if everything was ok i probably would have sent the chick back. read more

Went here today craving some ramen. They had a special menu item with truff oil. I'm a truffle lover so I had to try it out, while my wife had the blaze. The truff tonkatsu was nice had a good strong truffle taste. Because they mixed it with some vegetable broth it took away from the porky taste. I knew this going in. So if you like a strong porky taste stick with the classic tonkatsu. Now the star of the show was the blaze. It was a symphony of taste. A fine dance between tonkatsu and heat. The one downside is was the noodle was cooked too long to where it border on the line of mushy. Also the egg was almost cooked all the way and was cold. We eaten here plenty of times and today didn't represent what we normally get. It was still good but every gets to have an off day. The service was great as always. If you like tonkatsu you should definitely give them a shot! read more

It's always a good stop at Silverlake Ramen. Their ramen noodles are chewy broth is savory and creamy, and the egg is perfectly medium cooked, still has the jelly consistency in the middle. There is a handful of noodles and good portion on their pork, and just enough bean sprouts for some crunch. The only think I would say though is that their spice levels have changed since I last stopped here. Their spice level is not as spicy anymore but the flavor and umami are. Their pork isn't as tender either but it's still very good. The service is always good, our server always do a great job on checking on us. Plus ensuring that I get my to go order fired up before we leave. Most def have to get their fried gyoza - almost crunch and juicy on the inside. No picture of the gyozas. read more

My food was really good. I had the classic ramen bowl and it was definitely just that a classic. The service was good as well, even though once you walk in it's a little confusing not knowing whether we sit ourselves or have to be seated. But once we figured that part out the evening went well. As far as ambiance it's just your run of the mill restaurant it doesn't really feel super fancy I would say it gave the feel of a diner verses a restaurant in terms of you can sit at the front where you can watch them make your meals. It almost feels like a hangout spot. Overall it's a nice place where you can go and enjoy delicious ramen, give it a try if you're in the area. read more

Ordered a variety of dishes like the karaage bowl, curry bowl, gyoza, and the standard tonkotsu. Rave reviews about the karaage bowl and individual karaage orders, as well as the gyoza. Curry bowl was tasty but not quite as flavorful as you'd expect from the pictures. The ramen. The pork was absolutely delicious, thick cut but falling apart and wonderfully seasoned. The half egg, seasoned well, but for the price I expected a full egg. The noodles, since this was takeout, that's always a wash so I imagine they would be pretty good at the restaurant. The broth, very very slightly sticky with a slightly above water mouth feel. Not a lot of flavor here at all but also not inedible, just not as good as an Ichiran instant packet, but better than most other instants. Tasted very similar to Sun noodles, which would not shock me to know was used. Overall, not bad, I just wouldn't get the ramen again, the wider menu has better options. read more

One of the best ramens I've ever had was at Silver Lake Ramen in LA. I was so happy to hear that they finally ventured east & opened an outpost in Concord. This is in a nondescript suburban strip mall. Upon walking in, it was reminiscent of the clean & minimalistic style of a lot of modern Japanese designers. We chose our seats & the server brought out menus & waters. Menu wise, it was a pretty simple 2 page menu. We ordered the pork bowl, shoyu ramen & tsukemen. The pork bowl was a generous portion of pork, pickled onions, fried jalapeño and a "soft boiled" egg. The pork was very good & flavorful as was the onions. The eggs in all the orders imho were overdone as it was more cooked than the traditional ajitsuke tamago. It also needed to be marinated longer. The shoyu ramen was very good as well although the broth was strangely clear. Shoyu is soy sauce...& shoyu ramen usually comes with a deeper colored broth because of the soy sauce. The pork belly was a big portion and flavorful. I had dreamed of the original Silver Lake Ramen's tsukemen since I last had it 6 years ago. It was THAT good! This one was ok. I thought the dipping broth was not as flavorful as the original version. Everything else in the tsukemen was fine. Presentation for all the dishes were aesthetically pleasing. Overall, it was a good experience and the location is conveniently just across from Concord Mills. read more

Clean modern interior with a simplistic eccentric menu for ramen and rice bowls near Concord Mills. I got the garlic truffle ramen because it was using cream broth which I prefer. I will say the flavor wasn't super strong, and the mushrooms and garlic and broth all seemed pretty separate from each other instead of cohesive. A plus is the broth seems healthier and good to sip as a soup. Service wise, our waitress didn't seem to be super responsive - she didn't check much on our table, and at the end we had to go up to the front to pay (after we put our cards down) because she forgot? The noodles were chewy though and I liked how they added kale in it (not a bad combination!). Also I asked for chili oil and it seemed homemade. Another plus is they have unsweetened tea. read more

We've given this place a couple chances and it's decent. Not my favorite but it's definitely one of the only ramen places in the Concord Mills area I'll consider eating at. The ramen isn't amazing, but it'll satisfy any cravings for the most part. The pork bun wasn't what we expected but still good. The karaage bowl had a strong flavor that made it difficult to eat by itself so I don't think I would order it again. The ramen itself could potentially be 4 stars but unfortunately the service could be better. Nothing terrible about the service but I just don't feel very welcome overall enough for me to really recommend it well. We really want this place to succeed and think it can with a few tweaks! read more

The food was amazing! I had no idea what to order and so I asked for a recommendation based on what I was looking for and she told me to order The Shoyu Ramen at a level 2 and it was exactly what I wanted! It hit the spot for my taste buds and the spiciness was at the right level. Our server was so kind and accommodating with our needs. When I couldn't get my server, another young lady helped us which made the experience even better. The ambiance is well lit and amazing art. We will definitely be going back whenever we are in town! read more
