Silverlake Ramen

The staff took my order and brought me my drink very quickly. They weren't super charming, but some people like the more low key and chill waiters. The food was also brought out exceptionally quickly. I had a bowl of shoyu ramen and it was pretty good. A solid 7.5. It's not the best ramen I've had, but I think it was pretty good. The bamboo shoots were hard though, as if they hadn't cooked long enough. It wasn't enough to stop me from enjoying the ramen though. The price was pretty average for a ramen place, about $18 before tip. Granted I didn't buy any drinks, just water. On the topic of water they were prompt with refilling my cup which gives them bonus points. A nice place, a bit above average.

We were the first guests on a Sunday and it was a delightful experience. We had our pick of tables and it was a nice day so we decided to sit in the sun. By the time we decided on what we wanted to try, we had to move tables more into the shade as the sun was really beating down on us. Luckily there were still only a few guests so they were able to accommodate. We tried the classic combo with edamame, the cajun ramen and the garlic truffle. The broths were very savory and creamy. Fun vibe. The children's review of this place is: "Very creamy and delicious!" "This pork is bigger than my tongue" "This bowl is bigger than my head, it's the biggest ramen in the world". True to their motto, it was slurp worthy. The servings were generous so we had to bring the leftovers to go. The edamame was also truffle flavoured and fresher than in other places we've had it recently. I do recommend that the restaurant consider having a supply of plastic bibs for kids because the slurping also meant soup dripping down the chin from the ends of the noodles. Parking: depends on time of day Kid-friendliness: there was no kids menu so depending on the age/appetite of your child, you might want to share a bowl of ramen or get a roll or bowl. They did make sure the kids drinks were in plastic cups with lids and straws which was appreciated. Forks and spoons were also readily available for those still learning how to use chopsticks. The spoons are ladle size which, while fun, can lead to mess.

Solid ramen (the garlic truffle one is amazing!), fast service and nice location!

This place doesn’t treat driver and customer well I’ll never come back

Total lack of respect for drivers. It takes a long time and they kick the drivers out of the store. ordered to wait outside. a total lack of respect

Small menu but it has delicious food. I had the vegetarian ramen and it wasn't that good. Broth was miso based, so-so flavor. They put corn (tasted like canned) and green leaf salad on the noodles. It was tasteless and turned black and soggy by the heat. The blistered brocolini was the best part of the meal. My daughter had the tonkatsu basic with the black garlic oil. That was excellent. Very savory, great balance of flavors, perfect complexity. Great meal. We also shared the chicken karage and that was delicious. Light, crispy and flavorful.
