Best Ramen in Los Angeles! Come here with my sister every time and order the spicy seafood ramen.... mouth is watering as i write this.
Great staff, make you feel welcome. Vegan ramen is on point, filling, creamy and delicious.
A lot of options here both in broth bases - soy, salt, miso - as well as toppings. I ordered the “bomb” ramen, medium spicy. It has ground pork and cabbage which became al dente in the hot broth and lent a bit of a different flavor to the bowl, but I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back for more!
Very authentic ramen place by weho. The place is not big but the service is great, our server was very friendly.There are pretty good choices of ramen, including trukamen the dipping ramen. I had the black garlic ramen with normal spicy it is a little overpowering that covers the aroma of the broth. I chose the thick noodle which I was expecting a bit thicker but still taste good. The trukamen tho is VERY delicious, the soup is very flavorful and with extra thick ramen, takoyaki is very nice have big pieces of octopus inside.
Came after a museum outing for some early dinner. They had lots of stars on yelp. The ramen was pretty good, I got the white tonkotsu ramen. It was very buttery and garlicky. My partner got seafood ramen which I guess usually comes with glass noodles but they didn't have any at the moment so she got the tick noodles. Her's was very tomato-ey but had many types of sea food like crab and scallops. It also had lots of vegetables in it. For appetizers, we got the crunchy rice, steamed pork buns, gyoza. Crunchy rice was too hard and crunchyfor my liking but it did have some spicy tuna on top. The buns were overly filled with lettuce and onion, I guess to cover up the thin piece of pork. It did have a good taste but it was short lived. The gyoza was our favorite since that had the most flavor and it was cooked evenly, not too hard and not too soft. There is free parking around back but the only way to get to it is if you go through a skinny alleyway same for exiting but it is free for 90 minutes unless you want to pay to park on the street near traffic that is in front of the restaurant.There is a surcharge of you pay with a card, fyi regardless of you pay through the app or with your actual card.
Lunch specialMiso ramen, Mini teriyaki chicken bowl, Salad and coke.
This is one of the best bowl of ramens I've ever had
The food was ok, the service kinda rush. I am not a big fan of this kind of ramen texture (taste somewhat like rice noodles), and the flavor wasn’t rich enough. We got the seafood one, and the frozen seafood just not tasting good. With the price I paid, it didn’t meet my expectations.
I'm not quite sure who is posting these excellent reviews. We ate at Kai tonight and it was one of the worst ramens we have ever had. As a point of reference we have eaten at most of the ramen places between Sawtelle and Downtown LA, as well as a number of places in Tokyo and Kyoto. Why this was on the recent LAEater list of go-to ramen places is mind boggling, especially when several really good places were left off.
Food tasted great--we had three different types of ramen and all were delicious. The tsukemen was one of them, and the most flavorful I've had in a long time. Service was also great.
