MID. the waitress was nice. the day was hot af. honestly i was disappointed. but i didn't have THAT much high hopes because Riverside itself is MID. Basic ramen stuff. maybe it was the one i chose but i wanted more flavor. anyways, the music was cool. oh the iced green tea is yummy. read more

This was good, but I've had better. They did forget a few of the add ins I asked for. They did bring them over once I asked. Broth was nice but the noodles are quite thin. So that's a preference. Worth a try. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Shoyu ramen with tofu - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

After a game of mini golf, friends and I grabbed ramen in the evening. We had to wait for a little while on a Saturday evening to be seated. Service was still kind, immediate once we followed up after waiting perhaps a bit longer than needed. The ambiance inside was well lit, and there were plenty of slurping of noodles. The combination of meals offered are blessed. There is a window to view how the meals are prepared. You may see a flame erupt every now and then. I got a spicy veggie ramen. I really appreciate the variety of veggies used, and the soup was not heavy! It all paired well. God bless you all. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Spicy Veggie - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

Not bad but not the best, imo it was "fast food" ramen. Got the blaze (medium) which I really enjoyed, wasn't too spicy but I wish the brother had more flavor on its own. Spicy garlic Edamame was good. Didn't care for how big the sushi roll was, made it hard to eat but also wasn't bad. & the crispy chicken wasn't crispy, sat too long in the oil so it was alil smushy. Service was good & actual restaurant was clean & cool inside during this summer heat. read more

Went for Tuesday lunch and had a great experience. Prices were reasonable, and service was quick. I got the chicken karaage bowl with spicy aioli on the side--super flavorful and just spicy enough to make my nose run, so I added it sparingly. Also tried the Blaze broth--rich, spicy, and flavorful enough to make my nose water. The tofu had just the right texture, and the creamy broccolini was surprisingly rich and satisfying. Casual vibe, perfect for a quick and tasty meal. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Chicken Karaage Bowl - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

Came here over the weekend for an early dinner. SERVICE - Seating was plentiful, and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was friendly and kind so it great service overall. FOOD Crunchy Roll - This was packed with flavor and tasted fresh. The rolls were huge, so the portion size was generous. Garlic Truffle Ramen - This had so much potential, but it fell flat. It wasn't bad but it just lacking in flavor. Karaage Bowl - Unfortunately, the chicken was drenched in sauce, which made it soggy instead of crispy. Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing stood out enough to make us want to come back. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

Phew feel like we just got off the plane from Japan lol. Ramen was DDDelishhhh. Thin noodle ramen is not usually our thangggg but this one really good. Pork and chicken cooked well. Oh shoot almost forgot about the gyoza. They were pretty tasty with a good spicy sauce. HOWEVER.......a reason why this place didn't get 5 stars is because the appetizer came out after the entrees. But other than that service good and atmosphere ok (World Cup was on but there was no TV in front of my face) read more

Overall, this was a good experience, but there was one issue that kept it from being a full five stars. My friend and I both ordered ramen--she got the garlic ramen, and I ordered the Blaze ramen. Unfortunately, her noodles were very hard and stuck together, which really affected her appetite. We did let our server know, and while she mentioned bringing a little more noodles, nothing was ultimately done. At the time, my friend thought it was only a few pieces, but it turned out to be more than that. On the other hand, my Blaze ramen was great. The broth was flavorful and satisfying, and I had no complaints with my noodles. The only minor note on my dish was that the broccolini was a bit on the harder side, but everything else was really good. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Blaze - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

I've ordered Silverlake Ramen two times. The first time I ordered the chicken Karaage bowl and it was extremely salty. Gave it another shot months later getting pork bowls and a spicy chicken bun. I can confidently say the food here is overly salted, and this comes from someone who doesn't mind salt. The presentation on the food is nice but that's as far as it goes. I won't be back. read more

This was second time eating at Silverlake. My first experience was pleasant enough and my friend was craving ramen. On a Thursday, we decided to do a little birthday celebration for her. We went up to the counter for assistance. The server asked how many and we were promptly seated and given menus. I had been worried it would be busy and we would have to wait but it wasn't. After looking over the menu, we decided go the appetizer + ramen combo. I got the blaze ramen with fried gyoza and my friend got the shoyu ramen with chicken Karage. We waited for a bit for our food. The server bought me my appetizer and ramen and my friend her ramen. Everything tasted good. After a while, we noticed that the server hadn't bought my friend's appetizer. We had to wait awhile for her to come to the dining area before we were able to say something. She hadn't heard that my friend had wanted the appetizer + ramen combo too so she added that to our check. After a bit, we got it. That was delicious. After we were full, my friend got a to go box for her ramen. According to my friend, the place was alright and she had better. I agree with her, it was fine. read more

Absolutely disgusting! Trust me the ramen that you can make in a cup is 10x better and the service absolutely horrible to top it off. Everything is just slapped together here. I know real ramen I know mid ramen but this here is the worse! Chefs in the back clowning around and servers completely lazy! Yikes never again. I mean damn just a nasty fat piece of pork absurdly and 0 flavor! read more

Service is hit or miss, went 9pm on a Friday night and it was fairly dead and wouldn't be seated at a booth so I got dumped on a hard ass stool and left waiting. Sorta frustrated there was plenty of other seats open so I just bounced to yard house. If I was a manger I'd immediately dump the hard ass seating and get attentive staff. It was enough for me to fire up the app and type this out. read more

I love getting ramen from Silverlake. Usually I order it online and pick it up to bring home. They always get my order right and the food is fresh. One time I went to dine in with my kids and we had a great time as well. read more

A family favorite. Always top quality ingredients, served HOT!! Clean and helpful staff. Irvine and Bella Terra both. read more

The sushi here is so fresh and delicious. The service is really great. But it started to get more pricey over time.

my favorite ramen place right now! I always go for the combo deal with the classic tonkotsu and the chicken karaage. It always tastes so good. I love the broth in the ramen & they genuinely have some of the best chicken karaage. My fiancé and I were so addicted that we were practically coming here once a week at one point. It can get packed sometimes but most of the time we get seated fairly quickly. :) read more

Came in today because I saw that this spot has a happy hour menu! I opted for a draft beer (Sapporo), the chicken karaage and a large spicy tuna bowl. Everything was delicious! The karaage chicken was a hit for me, it's cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce is so flavorful. The spicy tuna bowl was good. I added soy sauce and siracha to give it a little boost. I noticed at this location they seat you first and you order from the table which I like better compared to the chino location where you have to order at the counter first. It's a small space, trendy vibe and solid service. read more

Management at this location is an absolute joke. They'd seriously rather lose paying customers than make a simple seating accommodation. I politely asked to move from a hard bar-height stool that was literally jamming into my knees (I'm 6 feet tall), and they flat-out refused. The excuse? The other tables were "reserved for bigger groups." Funny, because there wasn't a single group waiting. Instead of doing what most normal restaurants do -- have customers wait for an available table -- they'd rather dig their heels in and turn people away. Customer service clearly isn't a priority here, and "first come, first serve" definitely doesn't apply at this place. It's mind-blowing how unwilling management was to make even the smallest effort to keep a customer. read more

Ambiance - There are multiple light fixtures, so it is very bright inside. Personally not a fan, it felt like I was on showcase. Service - The waitresses were nice. Food - I ordered the Veggie Ramen. It was very bland. Came with a salad on top of limited broth. I also ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna. The crispy rice was over crisped but the tuna was good. read more

These are popping up all over the place so I was intrigued to try. As far as Ramen goes, this is delicious. I got the shoyu on fire and my husband got a poke bowl. We also ordered edamame. I would definitely say this a great little lunch spot or a casual dinner spot. The restaurant was modern and very clean. Service was good. Check it out. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Yummy! - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

The food was great and so was the service I just wish there was some slight variety in the options presented (specifically in the ramen). Still I would recommend as it's still a quality meal. read more

The food is still 5 star but had some issues today as I went on lunch and usually have no issues. This time is seems as if they don't have enough help for as popular as it has gotten. By the time we received our food we had to ask for the check and boxes to get back to work. One of our ramen orders had pork when it should have been chicken as the person who ordered cannot have pork. No time to have it fixed so she went without lunch today. Also they say if you sign up for the app you can get a free drink or a topping but the waitress Alexa who was amazing btw very attentive and apologetic even though nothing was her fault said they were unable to do it but when the manager was there she would speak to them if you know that your app isn't working with your system don't advertise it. Great food just a poor experience this time. read more

Came here for my first time yesterday as my brother really enjoys ramen and wanted some for his birthday. We didn't eat at the spot but did take it and they made sure the bags were strong and all that was needed was nicely placed in them. I had no worries of the soup and all spilling anywhere. I love spice and I got their blaze with extra spicy. For me it wasn't spicy at all but provided such a great flavor to the soup. So if you enjoy what heat brings to a meal for flavor I would get it. You could always ask for the extra spice on the side if needed. My brother loves their gyoza and I tried their pork buns. Definitely would come to for their happy hour to get that 3 for $10 on those buns and that beer. Great music was playing as well. Definitely gives you the feels to want to do something fun afterwards. read more

Service is very good. Although the Raman was good, it wasn't quite up to what I've had at other Silverlake Ramen locations. Just a few things seemed a little bit off such as the amount of pork only seemed like half as much the Garlic Truffle Ramen, as usual, and the pork was fattier than usual. Also, the flavor of the sesame broccolini just didn't quite seem as good as my other Silverlake Ramen experiences. All that said, it is still better than almost all the other Raman places out there, so I'm not really complaining too much but I do recommend this Silverlake Ramen. read more

Love Silverlake ramen but this location sucks. I asked to sit outside and the girl looked a little confused but sat me anyways and I guess she didn't let her server know so I was waiting for 30 mins outside no one checked in. Or brought water. I got so frustrated I lost my appetite. Never coming back to this location again. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and we got seated right away. The service was fast. We got the combo ramen and appetizer. I got the Blaze: Spicy Tonkatsu ramen with pork. It tasted good but I wouldn't say it's the best ramen I've tasted. The broth was rich and thick. You can adjust the Spicy level. My favorite was the Karaage chicken. It was on the saltier side but you can tell it was well seasoned and the sauce it came with complimented it really well. I also got a pork bao bun. It was just okay in flavor. This place is clean and they have 2 restrooms. Overall the food is good and the service is average. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Blaze ramen - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

5* for consistency and faithfully recreating the broth and flavors found at the mothership location! To date, we've been to the first expansion in DTLA, then Huntington Beach, and now, finally, in Riverside. Located by the Tyler Galleria near the theater and Yardhouse, it's smaller than other locations, but that's the least of my concerns. We popped in midday on a Saturday and were sat immediately. It did pick up in terms of diners after we had ordered. We did not try any appetizers because, to date, we've noted they are not up to the high standards enjoyed at the original location; however, the Classic Tokotsu is the benchmark in question. Without question, this is the one to try first. It's notably balanced in flavors, and the comparatively low sodium doesn't leave me dehydrated afterward. That is important to note because most places are heavy-handed in the salt department. Typically, we order additional portions of pork belly and leave the rest alone as-is. We loved the noodles that are rendered al-dente essentially, and the pork belly is seared but not too dry. Just delicious! Our server was left in the lurch by a no-show employee, nevertheless, she handled the growing number of tables and hostess duties, and never got behind or lost her friendly demeanor, so kudos for being a Rockstar!! I didn't catch her name, though, or I'd really send the compliments. read more

Finally a good Ramen place in Riverside! I've had Silverlake Ramen before in LA and when I saw that this opened in Riverside... Oh yeahhh! Classic Tonkatsu broth was on point: creamy, tasty, and good temperature. All the toppings were the right texture and the pork was delicious! They have a lunch deal for $20 you get a full size Ramen bowl + small appetizer. Not all Ramens and appetizers are part of the deal. I went here with my friend for lunch and both really enjoyed our meal and the service was good so we're coming later again for lunch after 2 weeks. I highly recommend this place. It's by far the best Ramen place in Riverside. read more

I heard this franchise was really good! Wanted to come try it for myself. Restaurant is located in the Tyler Mall; parking can get difficult depending on time/day! Restaurant itself is pretty spacious and cleanly. Service was mediocre. The servers weren't really attentive :( we had to flag them down a few times to order and for refills. Chicken karaage honestly took the cake for me over the ramen. Could partially be my fault due to wanting to try a different ramen flavor lol i got the truffle ramen with very mild hints of truffle flavor. I kind of wish i got the usual tonkotsu. Mainly giving 3 for location, service, and ramen flavor. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Garlic Truffle - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

A new location just opened up in Riverside and I was willing to give it another chance after not liking the location in Victoria Gardens. I ordered the combo with the blaze tonkatsu and the fried gyozas. The gyozas were nice, crispy, and I had enjoyed those. However, I found the ramen to be slightly slimey? I'm not sure if it's from the noodles being precooked, but it had a really weird slimey texture that the spicy tonkatsus usually have don't have. It was very below mid... I will say the charsiu was good though. The waitress was nice and did check up on us a lot so I appreciated that! The interior here is also veryyyy nice I like the vibe that silver lakes have inside. read more

Silverlake Ramen - I got the classic. The goods without the broth - Noodles Near Me - Riverside, California

This is the worst takeout experience of my life. I ordered two orders of Ramen and two pork buns. One of the Ramen broths leaked in my car because the bowl had a bad seam in the bottom of the bowl so on my drive home the entire Ramin leak through the bag into my car and when I picked up the bag off my seat at the bottom of the bag fell out, spilling the rest of my meal all over my car. I immediately called the store and was offered no compensation. I left two messages for the manager to call me back and never received a phone call. I walked into the store the next day to request at least a refund of my entire meal and was told no. I gave them the opportunity to make things right. They've totally failed in their customer service and I would not ever visit this establishment again. I would also never recommend it as there are better Ramen places in the city of Riverside. I should have had my food refunded and an offer to clean my car. A refund for the food that I did not get to eat should have been the minimum. I would avoid this place. read more

Classic Ramen tastes good. Servers were very nice. place is clean. Will come back for other menu to try.

Everytime we come to this place there is always at least one item that we have to wait 3 months for. Sucks cause the food is good on some days. The server with the fake lashes always seems to have an attitude when she's on shift. And always forgets to put stuff in to be made. Could be a good coaching moment. The new waiter we got after she went to break was lovely! Didn't get her name but she was the best. As for food the rice was uncooked and hard. read more

Best ramen place I've had so far in Riverside! I had always wanted to try this place in the OC and am glad it is in this area now conveniently located in the Tyler Mall.

Came here with my family after seeing the great reviews and photos of the interior. The place is definitely nice-looking, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. That said, if you're after authentic Japanese food, this might not hit the mark. We've been to Japan several times, so our expectations may be different~but the ramen reminded us of good instant noodles, and the sushi rice was a bit hard and not as sticky as it should be. We also found a small strand of hair on the spicy tuna roll, which was disappointing. All in all, we spent about $100 for an okay experience. Nice ambiance and good service, but the food didn't quite live up to the hype for us. read more
