Silverlake Ramen - Two Classic - Ramen Near Me - Downey, California

Great ramen and appetizers. Diana was very kind and helpful and gave me good recommendations on what was good!

Love this place my favorite ramen spot in Downey !! Always have amazing service and fast service.

(Sips ramen just slightly) "is this heaven?" Is what I said when I sipped the ramen. So I ordered the regular ramen, and dang was it good. Server was not the friendliest. Just very straightforward. Second server was much nicer. The inside was PACKED bc it's so good. There was nice music playing inside. Food and drinks came really fast. Overall, I will be coming back again. P.S. I forgot to take photos. lol p.p.s. I got the gyoza, and it was good too. read more

Came here yesterday for lunch and had the shoyu fire ramen 7/10 needed more flavor so I added soy sauce, I wanted a side of truffle oil that never came. Spicy chicken bun 5/10, it was a bit weird. Spicy tuna and crispy rice 5/10 ...texture was off on the crispy rice, tuna tasted cooked?? Kind of weird overall. 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

Everything was fine until I double checked my to go order and they had forgot my rice and when I had went back to ask for it and let them know, the guy behind the counter told the cooks in the back and they all seemed to laugh and smile and look at me like it was a bother. And when the server handed me the rice bowl he was smirking and said thank you in a very snarky tone. Very rude and I won't be returning here I'd much rather drive further away for ramen than get disrespected by a bunch of lowlife workers that have nothing better to do in their day. Thanks for the extra rice never coming back here! read more

Always a good time! Very clean and friendly service. Thanks Diana for being amazing!!!! Food is always on point!! read more

It was nice to see a decent ramen franchise open up in Downey instead of having to drive to our neighbors in Cerritos, Cypress and beyond or Orange County or DTLA/Little Tokyo for my ramen fix. While the price of a bowl is somewhat reasonable and the food does come out quickly, the service overall was great but could use a slight improvement. Throughout my meal I could hear multiple patrons flag down a server to refill their water. Remember, you're serving dishes that contain spices and some people's heat and spice tolerances are different from others so it's no suprise they're going to consume large amounts of water to cool down. It would be more convenient if the servers walked around with a water pitcher (ice cold preferably instead of lukewarm water) and check if any of the patrons needed refills. This would be an exemplary service that any restaurant should follow. Now the bowl itself that they serve the ramen in can be deceiving. While the bowls look large from above and the broth looks abundant, the base of the bowl is actually very narrow and therefore the serving size is significantly smaller than your normal serving at another ramen establishment. They intentionally do this to serve less broth. The fact that they use a large mouth bowl with a narrow base to "stretch out" their broth is a huge red flag and is definitely not worth the price. Now you may read this and say, "You're paying for the noodles, not the soup!" If you truly know ramen and the art behind it, the noodles isn't what makes the dish; it's the broth. The broth is the foundation and adds depth to the entire dish whether it's from the stock, the seasoning, or the oils, each component is what truly makes up ramen, not just the noodles. It's clear the design of the bowl is flawed and what's even more obvious is they serve just enough broth that measure right below their establishment's name on the bowl. I understand they do this for aesthetics but in the culinary world, if you're going to sacrifice quantity for art, save that for fine dining, not a noodle shop. 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

Food was amazing i had the garlic truffle ramen and the service was great I would definitely come back again

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 really wanted to give this restaurant a higher rating because the food was amazing and the service from the staff was just as great! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. I genuinely enjoyed the food and have nothing negative to say about the servers or the quality of our meal. Unfortunately, my experience was really affected by the manager, who I was told by one of the servers was named Ryan. He had an extremely strong cigarette smell on him. The odor was so overwhelming that I could smell it while trying to eat my food, and it seemed to linger in the area. It made me extremely uncomfortable and took away from being able to fully enjoy an otherwise amazing meal. For someone in a management position at a restaurant and regularly around guests who are eating, I feel like this should be taken more seriously. The strong smell of cigarettes was extremely unpleasant in a dining environment. 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

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

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

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

The food was amazing and the server was really attentive with our table! Lights aren't too bright so I can enjoy eating.

Our waitress Veronica was amazing. Incredible service and great food. Will be coming again

The service was terrible, our female server slammed our ramen plates on our table and almost spilled the soup over us. Didn't even apologize. Then we tried to get her attention to request chili oiled and got ignored. We had to ask another server just for her as well to ignore us. The only nice employee was a kind gentlemen who actually helped us throughout the whole time after our server completely ditched us. I don't know what's happened to this location but it left us with a bad experience after coming here for so long. Never coming back 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

Silverlake Ramen - two classic ramens - Ramen Near Me - Downey, California

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
