Strings Ramen — Restaurant in Beverly Hills

Finally! The Beverly Hills area has a Ramen shop. It definitely fills a hole in the local cuisine offering.

Prices are reasonable, the ramen is above-average, the Gyoza is prepared wonderfully, and the edamame is well-seasoned.

The staff is very attentive. More on this later.

Strings is a brand-new ramen shop and in a few ways, its newness really shows - both good and bad. But the bad is greatly outweighed by the good, so much so that I can't justify removing a star from the rating.

Strings provides high quality chopsticks -- you might not care about this but that's something that matters greatly to me.

If you're looking for a quick bowl of ramen over your lunch break, this spot is a great option. Actually, it's really the only option! As a Ramen connoisseur, I definitely endorse this spot - you won't leave disappointed or feeling like you spent more than the meal was worth.

Let's welcome this new shop to the local gastronomic community and show our support by dropping by for a quick lunch or dinner! They're currently offering a steep discount on all food and drink, so now's the best time to check it out if you haven't already.

As for me, I'll be a regular customer from this point on.

Now, this next part is for the staff:

Two notes.

Firstly, waitstaff is clearly enthusiastic and motivated to provide the best possible service. That's great and appreciated! But there was too much of it. A handful of unprompted service check-ins is expected, 6-8 is excessive. I'm confident this slight issue will be smoothed out after a few weeks of operation.

Lastly, the starter should arrive prior to the ramen dish, not at the same time -- especially when you're not busy and have the luxury of timing dishes without a rush.

Two very minor issues and many great things. Good luck to your business - I hope it stays open for...

So excited that Beverly Hills has a new Ramen place. They have so many options of soup that I went twice in a row. First time I tried the Hell Ramen level 2 spice (it was spicy!) , the next day I tried their Miso Ramen, gyoza and grilled octopus. Their noodles are delicious and fresh. My 4 colleagues which I brought all enjoyed their ramen… service was a little slow as they are still hiring but Austin the server was extremely pleasant and...

People who gave this place a five star review have no idea what ramen noodles taste like. Miso ramen tastes weird. Probably it is some kind of miso, but it is definitely not the one I grew up with. Other ramens taste weird as well. I think the owner is Chinese. Please Chinese chefs (or non Japanese chefs), please stop opening ramen noodle shop because you have absolutely no clue. It was not the worst ramen I have ever tasted, but it...
