    Pork Bowl
    Yu W.

    Came here to try their Cajun Mazemen only to learned that it has been discontinued. Darn! End up getting their fried gyoza, pork belly bowl and garlic truffle ramen with pork. They definitely know their pork here! All the pork here in its various form is amazingly melting and so flavorful!! The pickled onions perfectly balanced the richness of the pork belly! The ramen broth tasted more mushroom than garlic truffle, but all good since we're big fans of mushroom. Love that the ramen came with lots of kale and mushroom too! Gyoza looked a bit teeth-breaking fried, but was actually soft, and surprisingly tasty with the spicy mayo dip! Really cute, clean place. Loved the wall decor with the skateboards! Our lady server was great! Really knowledgeable and attentive, and made every effort to check on every table in a timely manner (it got full fast!). Overall a very pleasant dinner experience!

    California Roll: was good

    I really wanted to like this place as it has a good menu with ramen, sushi rolls and good appetizers. I came here for lunch and found the service to be friendly. I especially liked that they didn't rush us with the bill and we could sit comfortably even after we were done eating. However, the food was mediocre, nothing to rave about. The rolls here are fresh and nice and I would recommend sticking to that. Both times I've had the ramen (take out once and dine in this week), the broth lacked any flavor and it is a wasted dish. Plenty of parking in the strip mall and street too.

    I loved the clean restaurant named for the neighboring Silverlake area serving a quality ramen noodle in South Pasadena for about three years. There are both tables, bar seating and outside dining tables and could possibly fill up the entire inside on a good day. Our lunch came remarkably fast, and the taste was rich with flavor and sushi freshly served. The service was nice and friendly with staff checking on us during our dining experience. I would vouch for this ramen shop, which is both convenient and fast for lunch and probably for dinner too!

    Spicy tonkotsu ramen

    We ordered the curry bowl, spicy tonkotsu, and spicy Shoyu ramen. The curry bowl didn't really taste like curry to me but more like a mushroom sauce or the sauce in loco moco, but still really good. My husband ordered the spicy tonkotsu and it was really good! I ended up dumping my ramen in his broth when he was done. I ordered the spicy shoyu which I realllllly was not a fan of..... I usually love shoyu and shio ramens more, but it was not it for me today. For some reason their spicy shoyu ramen had like a lemony vinegar taste to it? Which in my opinion doesn't go on ramen so it killed it for me. $18 for a bowl of bad tasting ramen put me in a sour mood also... I think maybe just order the regular shoyu ramen, and order spicy sauce on the side if you need the kick.

    I absolutely love this fairly new location in South Pasadena. It's located in a plaza with Trader Joe's and many other stores. Parking is never an issue for me here. There is outdoor seating, a good amount of bar seating inside as well as seats. The restaurant itself felt clean and the customer service is top notch. I always love my ramen broth super hot, and they nailed it here. The Burbank location never seems to get it right. I ordered the Chicken 5/5 - Always crispy and juicy. The spicy Aoli sauce is a must dip! Classic Tonkatsu Ramen - 5/5 My only wish is that they made the ramen bowls in smaller sizes, since sometimes a regular bowl is a lot! I usually only eat half the portion of ramen. Please add smaller ramen bowls to your menu! Lol Overall, I love this fairly new location and will continue to come here over the other locations! Enjoy!

    The experience was off to a rough start but as the time went on, the service started to pick up. Maybe it's because we opted to sit at the counter, but we enjoyed watching how FOH/BOH were continuously turning around dish after dish. Tsukemen -- Thick noodles topped with your choice of protein. I opted for pork so I got two thick slices oozing with juice. It is served with a side of rich, creamy, concentrated both. While the broth has subtle hints of dashi, I'd say it leans more towards a base (if you're looking for a broth that has a powerful dashi flavor, then check out Tsujita). Tip: Ask for hot water, to be added to your dipping broth, once you're done with your noodles so you can drink it as soup.

    Silverlake has proven to be consistently good food and with great service. I have gotten the pork bowl, chicken karage bowl, and both the tonkatsu ramens. They never fail to be packed with flavor and a rich thick broth. The service is SO quick and fast I waited about 10 mins or less for all my food to come out. The servers were very attentive and never had to ask twice or struggle to get someone's attention. The blaze medium is one of the best spicy ramens I have had. I highly recommend getting the black garlic oil it adds a TON of flavor. The ambiance is very minimal only 9-10 tables and a bar. Although it's not the biggest restaurant I never have to wait long for a table and this place is open fairly late. I recommend adding Silverlake ramen to your list of ramens to try.

    Shoyu Pork Ramen & Spicy Tuna Roll
    Mike M.

    Shoyu Ramen is delish. Nice touch w/ a thick cut of pork belly instead of the thinly sliced cuts. Very nice friendly service and good prices.

    Star of the night is the classic ramen...oh man. If I could have this every day I would!

    Service: On Point. Seating: Fantastic Food: Absolutely Marvelous Drink: Spot on Even paying the bill was easy and to the point. I even was able to get a fork for my wife without a hassle. The Classic ramen is so good at this restaurant-the pork falls apart and adds a richness to the bowl that so far is unmatched in many other traditional spots. The beer was good and cold and the place was SUPER CLEAN. 5 Stars well earned and this is the spot for an after work ramen sesh.

    This is our go-to for dinner after I have my hair appointment at Hans Beauty Stor in South Pasadena. The service is good and the food is delicious.

    Pork rice bowl
    Julia K.

    Another Silverlake Ramen, another delicious dinner! My daughter loves Silverlake Ramen and once we saw that this spot opened near our new home we were so excited to try it out. This location is in a huge plaza in South Pas. sharing the parking lot with the newest Mega sized Trader Joes so parking can get hectic. Luckily we came for dinner this weekend around 5 so it wasn't too difficult. This Silverlake Ramen has the same trendy decor with neon lights and signage as other locations although it is smaller. They have indoor and patio seating with excellent customer service! For dinner we ordered two Shoyu Ramens for my daughter and I and my husband ordered the pork rice bowl. Everything was delicious, maybe even better than we have had before at other locations. The Ramen was tasty, not o early salted, and had the perfect soft boiled egg and juicy chicken pieces on top. My husband's rice bowl was also scrumptious, well cooked, and they allowed him to sub half rice half salad. We will definitely be back!

    The ramen pork broth was very flavorful. Noodles were perfectly cooked. It was a slow Saturday morning so we got seating right away. We saw a lot of pick up orders. Parking was easy as well.

    Black Garlic Oil
    Emily J.

    Finally had a chance to try out this place. It's a decent ramen house to satisfy those late night cravings for savory broth and noodles. I got the Black Oil Truffle Ramen (B+) and it hit the spot. Granted it's not Little Tokyo caliber, it's good enough for the SGV foodies. I also tried the Pork Belly Bao (B) which was just ok. The pork was a bit on the tougher side. I like my belly to melt in my mouth and not have to chew much. Would definitely give this place another whirl and try their other items. Solid place for a quick ramen fix. Hope they add sashimi side dishes like ikura and salmon to their future menu! It would definitely enhance the ramen experience. Plenty of parking up front and the service was quick and prompt. The store was clean and the servers passed the vibe check.

    Classic ramen & gyoza combo!

    Ask the Community - Silverlake Ramen

    Any shirataki noodle options in the future? And any possibilities for a gluten free option using Tamari instead of a soy sauce in the broth to help the growing number of people who have developed a gluten intolerance?

    That sounds like something you'd need to ask the restaurant directly. That's more of a chef's question.

    Do you have gluten free ramen?

    Sorry we don't have gluten free ramen

    Do you have vegan noodles for your vegetable broth?

    We have veggie ramen, but it's not completely vegan.

I've been going here for years and found they have perfect balance of depth of flavor and consistency of it. Amazing food + Attentive service + jazz playing overhead = Great time and chill vibes. Here's what I recommend: Appetizers: Tatsunoya roll ($9.50): Best app in the biz. Seasoned rice, chashu, avocado topped with kewpie and seaweed. Teriyaki chicken wings ($9): Juicy, crispy with a deep sweet-salty soy flavor. Honestly the best chicken wings I've ever had. Asian Tortilla Chips ($5.50): Crispy wonton wrappers with a kimchi-mayo-chashu dip, loved it. Ramen: Jun Tonkotsu ($15.80): The classic.

I ordered the Koku Extra Chashu, which was the chef recommended ramen, and while it was solid, I personally found it a little lacking in flavor compared to some other ramen spots I've been to. That said, the service was amazing. I did pickup during a really busy rush and they took care of me right away. The space itself looked lively, active, and welcoming, which made me want to come back and actually sit down and dine in next time. I'd definitely give it another shot and try a few other dishes because the atmosphere and service alone made a strong impression.

    AH-MA-ZING!! Brought one of our best friends from Hawaii to have lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We…read moregot seated right away which was great bc we were all getting hangry. For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

Decided to visit and try out their Ramen - I have also been seeing their shaved ice on social media but didn't try it. The prices were pretty expensive for simple bowls of Ramen in my opinion, and we didn't really feel like eating a lot, so we just ordered the vegan Ramen and the silky Ramen ( around $18 for both?).
