    Services was very fast! We ordered our meal and drinks and within minutes we were served. I had a rice bowl with chicken which was delicious. Other members in my party had ramen and they enjoyed it. The ambience of the place is busy and family friendly.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Silver Lake Restaurant delivers solid, flavorful dishes in a relaxed setting. The portions are generous, the service is quick and friendly, and the menu has something for everyone. It's a reliable spot whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout.

    Ramen and rice bowl
    Matthew C.

    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.

    This restaurant had very good service and very efficient time after ordering. Always nice to come in since there is a very calm and enjoyable atmosphere here, the food is really good and one of the best ramen spots I've tried !

    Blaze ramen broth
    Angel L.

    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!

    Shoyu Ramen with Chicken
    Gelin Cara T.

    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.

    Crispy Chicken Karaage
    Ernest R.

    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.

    Gyoza- 4pcs per Combo deal

    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!

    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.

    Been on the hunt for a ramen spot that serves truffle ramen similar to Momofuku in Vegas and…read morealthough it's not quite the same, they do have a Garlic Truffle Ramen here which is good enough to satisfy the craving. Not a lot of places have truffle ramen on the menu so I'll take it. The truffle flavor comes from truffle oil so the taste is pretty subtle. The broth is more garlic forward, it's rich and creamy. They have a bunch of options for toppings to enhance the ramen and it's served in a deep bowl so you're getting a good amount. The space is on the smaller side so you'll usually have to put your name down and wait a bit before getting seated. It's not the most authentic Japanese ramen but it's worth checking out.

You know how restaurant water sometimes tastes a little... suspicious? Not here. This water was crispy, clean, well-filtered perfection No weird aftertaste. Respect. The creamy broccolini??? So good that my boyfriend -- a known broccoli hater -- admitted it slapped. I don't know what sauce they put on it, but I need it by the cup immediately. Chicken karaage: FIRE. I'm usually picky about chicken because of texture, but this one? Crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, and once again... the sauce is doing the heavy lifting in the best way possible. Now the main event We both got the blaze ramen. The noodles have the PERFECT consistency. The broth is insanely flavorful and smooth. I got the medium spice, and it's actually medium (not "medium but secretly spicy enough to ruin your day"). Every topping works -- spinach, bean sprouts, all of it. And can we talk about the egg being INCLUDED? No upcharge nonsense here, thank you very much. The pork is so juicy it literally melts apart like it knows its purpose in life. Service? Top tier. Kendal G was doing the most -- running the floor when we first got there AND still giving immaculate service. He even put the hockey game on for me That's how you win loyal customers. Overall: great food, great vibes, great service. Silverlake Ramen understood the assignment. Will absolutely be back.

Saw the high reviews so had to check it out. Susuru Ramen Bar is located on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and N Kingsley Dr. The lot is small sharing spaces with other restaurants so your best bet is street parking, which can also be tricky especially later in the day. The restaurant is small, with the register counter as the first thing you see walking through the door. There's bar seating against the wall, and 2-3 tables for groups of maybe 4-6 people. The lady manning the front counter as well as taking orders and serving was fantastic. Very friendly and checked up on all tables through out the night. For ramen, my bf got the Tonkotsu ($1 extra for spicy), and I got the Mayu. I see why it has such high reviews, both were delicious. The roasted garlic oil was amazing and complimented the pork broth. The seasoned soft-boiled egg was our favorite part, not just lightly seasons either. It was sweet and savory with each bite, and the creaminess from the jammy yolk was fantastic. The charred cha siu slices had a slight sweetness too, and the fat through the slices gave it this wonderful melt in your mouth, mouth feel. The tonkostu spicy used the same broth just added the chili oil to it and gave it a good bite. The noodles had a nice chew to it. It was just the perfect bowl on a chilly May evening. Definitely worth checking out for a great bowl of ramen.

It shares parking with a couple other business and the entrance is just off the alleyway off Carson. Construction in the back did halt some of the parking spaces and entrance on one side. I didn't know where the entrance was walking around the block which found out later that the entrance was where parking is. I believe you could get on the waitlist but it was still early during lunch time when we arrived that it wasn't necessary. The restaurant itself isn't that big. A good amount of Asian modern style seating. Menu is pretty limited but gets down to the punch. Ramen, a couple of rice dishes and starters. Basically it. They had some alcoholic drink options too. We started off with some beers, the crispy chicken which was really nice. Thick chunks of thighs lightly deep fried and served with a dipping sauce. Juicy and tender. Entrees, the tonkatsu which you could make into a combo that comes with a side salad, and with salmon poke bowl or spicy tuna bowl for an additional fee. The broth for the ramen was quite tasty and paired really well with everything that added to it. And very filling. Also had the pork rice bowl with pork chashu, green onions, poached egg, spinach on top of rice. That was quite tasty and filling as well. There's a small and large option. Lastly the vegan ramen with sesame miso broth, broccolini, corn, bean sprouts, soy meat, tofu, baby kale with chili oil. Food was quite tasty and very filling. Service was great with friendly staff.

We ordered via third party app because the preparation of the poke sounded intriguing and different. The food came in cute packaging. When we opened the containers, in my opinion there was too much rice/quinoa to fish portion. I did enjoy the taste of the poke. It had bits of sour notes from the apple dressing, which is different from what you normally order with poke. The avocado balances out the sourness. And the poke surprisingly pairs well with quinoa. The pork buns were really delicious! It has that umami taste you look for when eating pork. The meat was very tender - easy to bite and chew. The bun was nice and soft - had good texture. And the onions that came on it was good. You don't get that oniony, bitter taste that lingers in your mouth. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Poke was good but idk if I'd order it again because the rice-fish portions are off. But I definitely need to try the ramen cos I know that's what they're known for.
