Stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and were seated right away. The space is fairly large with plenty of seating. We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna, the pork bowl, and the classic ramen combo with karaage. Overall, everything was pretty average. The ramen broth was lacking flavor, but the pork in the bowl was tender and well coated in sauce. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was the highlight of the meal.
Landed, got to the hotel, and had to find something comforting. Came here around 12pm and was seated immediately. We got the pot belly bowl and the ramen combo with the classic and karaage. Good came pretty quickly. The ramen was pretty decent but the broth was a bit bland. The pork it came with was juicy, tender and thick so don't let it being one piece throw you off. The ramen was also perfectly al dente. The pork bowl was extremely comforting after a long day. It was juicy and tender, and generous amount of sauce in it to go with the rice. I devoured this bowl quickly.
Silverlake Ramen is located on the back side of the mall. It's easiest to park in parking lot B. They have been thru a few changes since first opening. There used to be chili paste on the table, then you had to pay for a spice ball of chili; now you can order a spicy ramen. They also now have combo meals a ramen and an appetizer for $20.50. Which is quite the deal. This time I got the shoyu on fire with pork cha shu and Karaage combo. The noodles were the straight Tokyo type, I prefer the curly type, but it was still nicely al dente. The broth had a good spice to it, the pork cha shu was very tender. It came with corn and half of a soft boiled egg. It was good but I think I prefer the tonkotsu broth. The Karaage was crispy and flavorful it's came with a dipping sauce but it was not necessary. It was a good portion for the combo and the perfect amount. The decor is new and modern. There's a yelp check in tablet out front which makes it easy since they text you when your table is ready. It's bigger than your typical ramen place and can usually find parking easily but the parking lot was crowded because it's around Christmas time and the mall is busy.
Really good service here - the wait staff is stellar. They took the time to explain the menu. The whole slurp away thing. Really good lunch specials - it's a little pricey - but this is Fashion Valley - rent be high. Recommend the Gyoza with that spicy mayo - that was tasty. The ramen is very good - good portions. And you get to slurp like a maniac - which is amusing in a crowd of slurpers.....
Been a minute since we have eaten at Silverlake Ramen. Ordered the Ramen Combo - Tonkotsu Ramen with grilled chicken and a side of gyoza (4 pieces). We also ordered a side of edamame. Washed it down with a cold glass of Sapporo. The Ramen was perfect in its miso soup. The Thousands Island-Aioli sauce (that's what it tasted like) had a nice lil kick for the gyoza. Edamame was a good starter as usual. Service was okay. Domo arigato gozare masu.
I've been going to Silverlake for a few years now, but I had never tried this location. I usually visit the one in Oxnard when I'm up there with family. It's always been a must stop spot for me. This time around, I went with their ramen + appetizer combo and ordered my usual Shoyu on Fire along with the chicken karaage. I didn't realize you could swap proteins, so I tried it with pork this time, and it wasn't bad. You really can't go wrong with Silverlake. It continues to be one of my top ramen spots, no matter which location I visit.
Came here after shopping and it was good! No wait to get in. Ordered and the food came out less than 10 min later. Really good flavors. I liked the garlic oil on the classics ramen. Service was great.
This is my first time dining inside the Silver Lake Ramen Restaurant. I placed my order with one of the servers at the Silver Lake Ramen Restaurant. I preferred the 6 pieces of Fred Gyoza filled with shredded pork. It's served with two mild sauces. The first sauce is an orange spicy sauce and the second one is a spicy creme sauce. The appetizer price was $7.50. For my dessert, I ordered one scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce. My soft drink was one can of Sprite. Everything I had eaten was very crispy and very delicious. My server was very attentive towards me. I will definitely come in here again to dine inside Silver lake Ramen Restaurant. Their appetizers are really delicious.
SILVERLAKE RAMEN @ FASHION VALLEY This place has always been a spot that i've always wanted to try. I'm a huge ramen person and love to always try new locations. My friends and I came on a Tuesday, line wasn't long, tables were available, yet we had to wait outside for about 20 minutes. We finally got seated and looked through the menu. I ended up getting their classic ramen for about $19, that was a pricey one! The food came out about 15 minutes later. Seaweed soggy, pound of green onion covering the bowl, half an egg, and the small sliver of thin pork. Noodles were as soggy as if they were sitting in the bowl for hours. Truly the only thing I liked in this bowl was the broth and the black oil, it was decent and flavouring. Ambiance was loud but very bright inside. Parking was free in the lots. Overall, I would not come back to this place, it was just overly soggy, horrible and cheap quality toppings.
Service was great and quick. Went during lunch time and enjoyed their combos. Blaze was spicy but not overpowering spicy. Enjoyed the toppings that came with a ramen and was a good portion. I appreciated ramen was offered with different protein options. Would go again and try another flavor.
Food !! I was feeling like ramen today in the way home and didn't want to cook it . This place had a little crowd so I decided to try it . Ordered 2 combo plates. The spicy one was ok , but the classic combo was Horrible horrible !! My husband could not get passed the smell of the broth. It smelled scorched and burnt . Will be taking back there .
Place is great. The service made the place as they accommodated us with a large party. We had to wait a little bit but they updated us a lot. The food looked tasty and everyone enjoyed the food they ordered. I had the curry and it didn't taste like regular Japanese curry but little more soy saucy. The place was real modern and nice to be in. The bathroom was so far in the back was kind of like a maze. Good place to go and was busy when we came on Black Friday.

The food here is not bad and I would rate it 4/5. I got the Blaze combo with edamame on the side. The Blaze was yummy, and had a ton of spice; I had to remove some of the spice ball because it was too much for me. Huge amount of noodles, and nice creamy broth. The edamame was standard, not much seasoning on there. The Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna was a great bite! I would get that again. The servers were nice and attentive overall. What brings my rating down is the cleanliness... I used the restroom here, and the toilets didn't flush well and the sink did not work! I was stuck with a hand full of soap. I did have to use the Men's sink to wash my hands. Pretty concerning from a sanitary standpoint. I would have rated this place a 2/5 if I didnt enjoy the food. read more
Im always up to try new foods around San Diego and was recommended by several people about silver lake ramen. To be generous I would give this more at a 3.5 rating. I ordered the Classic ramen which is a standard tonkotsu ramen and fried pork gyoza Classic (Tonkotsu Ramen): 3.5/5 - The broth was creamy and yummy which was the highlight of this meal however all the other toppings (Pork Chashu, bean sprouts, egg, & seaweed) were bland. The noodles were decent, very soft and not overcooked. The pork chashu was only one single slice. It is a big piece, and was cooked right, however, it was basically bland. Pork Gyoza - 4/5 - Solid appetizer, and the spicy mayo dipping sauce was a nice addition on top. The pork gyoza was very tasty, I actually preferred this more to the ramen. The ambiance gives a new restaurant feel. It's your standard sit down place at a mall. The service was exceptional, staff were very friendly. read more

Solid Ramen spot when you're in the mood for ramen and at the fashion valley mall. Karaage was solid and the ramen was decent. Broth was flavorful. We got here when it was slower and the server was attentive. Got the Blaze and Garlic Truff ramen read more

The food was amazing! There was a bit of a wait even with a reservation and the waiting area is a bit awkward to stand around however it was Valentine's Day and really busy so I didnt mind. I know it was busy, but waitstaff never came around and ask us if we needed anything and had to flag someone down to refill our drinks. Other than that, again the food was incredible and if I'm ever going to see a movie, dinner here would be a must! read more

With so many ramen places in San Diego, this one doesn't really stand out. Had the shoyu pork ramen. While the texture of the ramen was good, the pork was a bit dry and chewy. The broth was light but I wish there was a bit more depth in flavor. Not a bad place to ear while roaming around the shopping center; however, with other ramen choices nearby I'm not sure I would pick this one over the others. read more

Sunday evening the wait was only about 10 minutes, the interior is very nice and aesthetic with mostly tables for 2 and a high bar table further into the restaurant We ordered the chicken curry bowl and shoyu on fire combo which came with a smaller side of the chicken karage appetizer, everything was very flavorful and filling, the ramen was piping hot and very spicy which I loved as I did get it extra spicy, I asked for fresh garlic but that didn't end up getting added... Service was good at the beginning by bringing us water and taking our order but since only one of us got ramen we had to wait extra long with the curry bowl already out and getting cold, the server also didn't check on us throughout the meal and never brought us more water or came until way after we were done eating read more
Definitely more like at 3.5 star place, but I like to round up to boost the business. It's not super special ramen place, since there are so many ramen places now to compare to. However, I never see a wait, and it's good and convenient. Ordered spicy tonkutsu, which was pretty spicy which is nice and the broth is solid. However, the egg was overcooked, unless they wanted it like that...I also got a side of saboro rice and chick karaage. The saboro rice was definitely mid and not that favorful, however, I really enjoy the karaage. I would say it's one of the better ones you can get in San Diego ramen shops. The service wasn't too bad...there wasn't much interaction, but the food came promptly. I know that it seems like they have some service problems from other reviews, but this isn't really supposed to be a fancy restaurant. I would recommend coming here if you're at Fashion Valley mall already, but maybe not go out of your way just to come here.... read more

The chicken karage bowl was so flavorful and the flavors blended well. I got the smaller bowl and it was the perfect size. I would definitely order this again. read more

I've gone to silver lake ramen a couple times now, and I've always enjoyed it. The service is nice and the food is good. If you are at UTC and just want a classic ramen with a calm vibe I would stop here. The portion size is solid. I love the thickness and chewiness of the noodles. The menu is a bit limited and it is pricier than other ramen places, especially the sides. read more

In comparison to ramen, I find that tsukemen can be tough to find. I personally prefer it because I love how the noodles maintain their springy texture and nothing is worse than soggy noodles. The thick broth clings the noodles which makes it super flavorful and a squeeze of lime lightens the richness of the broth. I do find that the tsukemen broth to be a little saltier than most dipping broths. I personally like my food on the saltier side but it may be overpowering for some. Overall, it is a solid place to get your ramen fix if it is convenient but I would say in comparison to most places, it still pretty average in terms of flavor and cost. I think that the service is good and attentive and the ambiance is pretty casual and laidback. No qualms there! read more

For ramen, Silverlake is pretty mid. Location is convenient, which is their big plus. And noodles aren't bad. But otherwise, I don't seek them out, not with all the other better ramen spots around SD. It was unfortunate their AC was out the day we went, and we happened to get ramen on a warm day (our mistake!). Service was also pretty slow / subpar that day too, despite it being fairly empty. Unless I'm nearby or it's chosen by someone else, I'm not likely to return. read more

Nice decent spot. I wouldn't say it competes with Underbelly or Tajima. What it is is some nice home cooked food with an extra touch of flave. All we ordered was the chicken appetizer and broccoli. Both hit a 7 out of 10. What brought it up to an 8 were the sauces. They add some nice spice, some nice seasoning. Service was efficient as well. I wouldn't say this is a destination spot, but it is a decent spot to go to if you're shopping at The Valley. I'd definitely take the other restaurants over this one but this is worth trying out. Decor is nice, it wasn't too crowded, the bathrooms? Slightly weird. Good spot though. read more
