Friendly service and great food. My go to is the combo tonkatsu ramen and fried gyoza

Service is amazing and the host are very friendly! The food is always a 10/10 I enjoy their truffle ramen very simple yet very delicious. And the tune with fried rice bites, very refreshing! Overall it's an amazing experience and the restaurant is clean and kid friendly. read more

The service and ambiance wasn't there. The girl was confused and didn't even ask if I was ready to order. I ended up seating myself and waited without being attended. Highly Do Not Recommend read more

Stopped to try this place finally. We were seated quickly. Waiter was very kind. We ordered the Ramen & Appetizer special for $20.50. We also order Spicy Chicken Bun, Edamame, Gyoza and spicy Ramen and the classic. The broth on that Ramen was amazing. It wasn't over bearing and every bite was full of taste. The Pork belly was so soft. Everything was so flavorful. They had a nice crowd but there was no mishap on the customer service. Service was A1. If you want a variety of options this is the place to give a try. read more

Ordered ramen with some extras and broccoli. It was easy to use the app and even got a free topping. Located across the street from our hotel, we needed lunch and ramen sounded good. Food was ready quickly. Inside was clean and staff was helpful. The food looked and smelled yummy. The ramen was flavorful and all our extra toppings were perfect. The broccoli was crisp and the sesame sauce was delicious. The pork bun was declared a new favorite. Overall great food, our togo bag did not have enough utensils for us but we made the best of it. read more

First time having the infamous "silverlake ramen" Most of the time donkotsu can be too salty but it was perfect I didn't have to add hot water. Fast service. Clean. AC blasting artic level with freezing cold Sapporo. Thank you for great food. read more

Good noodles and good service ! This place is great. Can get busy but you must try them out!

I always enjoy coming to Silverlake Ramen since you can always count on quick, yummy, hearty ramen. Arriving there, there is usually a slight wait, but nothing that goes over 10 minutes. I ordered the pork belly ramen and as always, it was delightful. The broth is rich and creamy and it only adds to the fattiness of the porky belly. I do wish they would add a little more spice since it would help bring out the flavors a little more and give it that extra bit of kick. read more

I grew up in downey and my friend invited me for dinner at Silverlake Ramen. Wow how downey has changed! I wish we had all these options when I grew up here. The ramen was delicious for the cold evening and service was super quick and efficient. Inside seating was comfortable and we were sat immediately when we walked in but I could imagine it being difficult to find a seat when it gets crowded during peak hours. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Great spot and glad downey has a good choice for some tasty ramen! read more

The ramen here is pretty tasty. I ordered the garlic noddles with pork and we also ordered the blaze with pork. Tried the fried dumplings and they were good too. When your order a soda they give you a can for like I think $3 or $4 bucks which is pricey since you get no refills. The service was fast today they brought everything out within 10 minutes. Ambiance inside is nice and cozy. Parking is great because there's a lot of parking. I would recommend this ramen place. read more

Ordered through DoorDash and everything was packed nicely, which was so appreciated since we had a large order. I got the blaze ramen and a pork bun. The ramen broth was flavorful and the pork was so tender. The noodles had a nice bite and chew. The pork bun was also really good, the bread was moist and the pickled red onions added a nice touch of acidity. I also had some of the chicken Karaage and thought it was just ok, but this might be because we ordered for delivery and it wasn't crispy. I'd reorder/visit from this business again! read more

Walked into restaurant and was overpowered by string bleach odor. Service was quick with refreshments as soon as we sat. Plastics sheet menus seemed cheap. Ambiance was nice and simple with music not overpowering. Ordered a shoyu ramen bowl and regular soboro rice bowl. Ramen came fast and first but rice bowl came 4 minutes later. Food was delicious but the ground chicken was too fine and spilled out too easily. read more

I'm glad Downey now has a decent ramen-dedicated spot, as opposed to having to go to a Japanese restaurant that only offered 1 type of ramen and 1 udon. This place was perfect for a rainy day. Ramen was pretty good, noodles had a good bouncy texture to it. The chicken threw me off, but that's my fault for getting the chicken. I think it would've tasted better if I had gotten pork. Service seemed busy as I did come in during lunch time. A lot of employees from nearby offices, clinics, etc. were dining in and also saw a decent amount of mobile orders being picked up. I was by myself and sat at the bar. Workers looked busy, so sometimes felt inconvenient asking them for something, but couldn't fault them for that. The girls were friendly and did their job well. Ambiance was clean and organized. They do a waitlist via Yelp, so I'm sure it comes in handy on weekend rushes. Parking was easy as there is a lot that's shared with the next door establishments as well. read more

Ordered take out the other day. It's been a while since having Ramen. Ordered from the quiosk which seemed simple but a host came by to assist and ensured ai got what ai wanted. The ambiance was lively. Packed house with a few outside waiting to get in. Knew ai was at the right place. Ordered the Shoyu chicken with spicy chicken broth and Crispy Chicken Karaage. Was very satisfied with my meal. Nice and hot still when ai got it home. The Tamen quenched a crave for sure. Nice spicy with all fresh ingredients which added an even more flavor. The Crispy Chicken Karaage was delicious with the sauce or by itself. Crispy morsels of chicken that were also flavorful standing on their own as well as with the sauce. Will surely go again. Gratitude and give thanks Silverlake Ramen and Staff for a great meal that was worth it in every aspect. See you soon. read more

Best Ramen in the area! I'm so glad that Silver Lake Ramen has opened in Downey. We have been to Cerritos location before and this new location makes it so much more convenient to enjoy a great bowl of ramen. Located on Firestone blvd across from the Embassy suites, this place has plenty of parking space. The restaurant is clean with modern, minimalist decor and mixed seating options, including tables with chairs and booth style seating. This place has two gender neutral restrooms. We arrived around 7:30pm and it was completely packed, with only two tables available. There are two self order kiosks for takeout, which can help bypass the wait for a table. Once seated, we were greeted by Vanessa. I can't praise her enough. She was incredibly attentive from the moment we ordered until we left. Ramen options vary from $16.50 to $18.00. Appetizers range from $5.25 to $8.50. They also offer a combo option, which appears to be the best deal at just $20.50. We all ordered combo option. Kids ordered Classic + Gyoza and Garlic Truffle Ramen + Karaage. My husband ordered Blaze (medium heat level) and I picked Shoyu on Fire (extra spicy) and we both added Spicy Chicken Bun as appetizer. Let me start with APPETIZERS: Crispy Chicken Karaage was delicious with right level of seasoning. It was crispy and not dry at all. Gyoza was good too and kids liked it but I personally found it a bit oily. The Spicy Chicken Buns included kimchi, green onions and teriyaki sauce with Chicken Karaage (same chicken that is offered in appetizer). The bun was soft, but I wished the Teriyaki sauce was a little less overpowering. RAMEN: We all chose pork as our protein option. I was little concerned that my son might not like garlic truffle ramen, but he actually enjoyed it till the last drop. My daughter didn't want veggies in her broth, so they accommodated our request by serving bean sprouts, green onions, spinach and seaweed on the side. My husband who is a big Tonkostu fan, enjoyed his order of Blaze with medium heat level. He said the spice level was perfect! My order of Shoyu on Fire (extra spicy) came with a scoop of spicy sauce in the bowl. I believe this allows you to mix it in according to your tolerance. I usually handle spicy food well, but let me warn you to start with a small amount and adjust as needed. I only mixed in a quarter of the sauce and scooped out the rest, and I was so glad I did. Even that small amount made the soup extra spicy for me, despite my high spice tolerance. The only thing I still couldn't figure out was the amount of protein served in each bowl. My daughter's Classic soup had three pieces of protein, while the rest of us had only one. We will be sure to clarify this during our next visit before we order. Overall, we all enjoyed our food and had great experience at this location. We are excited to have Silverlake Ramen in Downey and will definitely be returning! read more

Plenty of parking. Restaurant was clean. Service was really slow. There were 2 other people here when we arrived so there was no reason for me to wait to order or to wait for the bill. The 2 kids serving, one male, one female were chatting their lives away in front of the kitchen AND enjoying their lunch. Should wait staff be eating in front of the customers? The food was fine, nothing spectacular. It's obvious they're don't need my money so I probably won't be back. read more

I went to Silverlake Ramen in Downey with a friend recently. I had The Classic Ramen with a Pork Bun and lemonade. I really liked the ramen bowl I chose. I thought the bun was okay. The lemonade was good. We had vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup as dessert. The ice cream wasn't very flavorful and appeared to have freezer burn. read more

Ordered to go online. App wasn't that great, it would of better if it let you know when it's ready. It hits have a time frame. When I went to pickup my food my appetizer was cold. Place was cold on a rainy night. I definitely wouldn't want the place to be hot but warmer than it was. When I went to pick up my order I was asked if I placed an order to go and pointed to where I should pick it up. Food was ok. Broth was warm, for a Togo order I think it should be a lot hotter. Noodles and meat were ok. I like thicker noodles these are on the thinner side. When I tasted the broth it was kind of bland. Had to hot sauces to make it better. Overall I would say it's ok. But if you had any of the better Ramen/Pho shops I think you would not be satisfied. read more

I've always heard pretty solid reviews about this place and was excited one opened up near us in Downey. I show up at 5:00 on a Saturday night and the place is already super crowded. Luckily I was ordering to-go so I bypass the line and use the kiosk provided. I will say, the combo deal is the way to go. I personally got the blaze with a pork bun. Great deal for $20. My wife had the classic with the gyoza. The interior of the restaurant was nice. Very hustle and bustle but I would expect that from any good ramen shop. Now the food. The ramen was great. There wasnt too much excessiveness. No one trying to be super fancy. Just good ramen. The pork buns were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. Cooked to perfection. I would argue the best appetizer was the karaage. I'm not a big fried chicken guy but they use thigh meat which has a juiciness and richness that delivers. The batter is light and a little sweet. Overall a good experience and close to a 5 but I'm going to give them a 4. Probably one of the better ramen shops I've been to. read more

This establishment is next to Diosa. I do not eat Ramen, but the boy knows his ramen and this has been his favorite ramen spot for a few years. We frequently visit the Cerritos location and I'm happy that we now have one in Downey. What do I eat there? I start off with a delicious pork bun. Marinated pork belly with pickled onions it's so good. Then I usually have a spicy tuna bowl. I appreciate the fresh mixed greens on my tasty bowl. I like that you can get a combo some people with bigger appetites may not get full with a bowl of ramen so you can add some gyozas with it. We will be back. read more

So excited to finally have a Silverlake in Downey! I'd always have to make a trip to cerritos to enjoy so I'm happy to have one nearby. Overall, food was good and service was sharp! I really liked how this location also has more seating available than Cerritos, was definitely a lot roomier. Spicy tuna appetizer was delicious, and my Ramen was great too! Chicken could have used a bit more flavor and my friends' pork was tough- but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since they are currently soft opening! Will definitely be trying again soon. read more

Came here for my lunch break and was seated quickly at the bar. It was pretty busy but it was. rainy day so I am sure everyone wanted ramen.

Spice was not too strong, would def return! read more

Our family went for my birthday celebration because ramen is life! We had been to the original location in the city of silver lake and it was amazing. Sunday night we went for dinner there was about a twenty minute late because of an event going on in the neighborhood. We were seated, and they took our order and the server was actually really nice. However, she never checked back in with us and my daughter and her boyfriend's sushi and appetizer never came out. We had all ordered extra appetizers, so they ate off of that, but then they had to go get a burger afterwards, because they didn't get any dinner. No apology. Nothing. Granted, they ordered sushi at a ramen place but there's a dedicated sushi chef there. I will be ordering my ramen to go from now on. read more

Cozy spot with genuinely excellent ramen -- rich, well-balanced broth, perfectly springy noodles, and tender chashu that melts in your mouth. Generous toppings and bright, fresh garnishes round out each bowl. Friendly, efficient service and a warm atmosphere make it a go-to for comfort food. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, satisfying ramen read more

Honestly not bad. Great vibe. Pleasant servers. Super fast receiving of food. If you plan to order and then chit chat a bit with friends you are out of luck. Food comes out within minutes. Super tasty food. Not much by way of addendums once the ramen comes to you. I didn't ask for hot sauce or things like that but I did notice the table was pretty sparse. Only napkins and chop sticks. I had to ask for a fork since I honestly don't know how to use those twigs to eat. lol. All in all the food was great. The pan fried gyoza were a bit soft and spongy but not too bad. Maybe not as tasty overall compared to some places in Cerritos but not bad overall. They do serve beer and soju and sake if you want that. read more

I came to this location after visiting the la habra location. I tried the shoyu ramen but it was a bit too salty. Also, I think the classic has better flavor. The pork was a bit burned, tasted like chicharron. This location is much bigger but the service was not that great. It was kind of tough waving our server down. read more
