Moto Ramen — Restaurant in Culver City

Stopped here a few weeks ago when my friend wanted to check it out...was feeling the ramen craving! We walked up without a reservation and got onto the list but they were able to get us a table within about 5 minutes! We got the Tedorigawa sake that was recommended by our server to drink, which the bottle was a little smaller than I expected but it tasted dangerously sweet and good...went down smoothly. We started out with ordering the Lotus Kinpira and the Chicken Karaage to share (both pictured). The Lotus Kinpira was so delicious I almost forgot to take a photo (comes with more than pictured) and I would highly recommend as a starter. I had never had the Chicken Karaage before and I gotta say, it was flavorful while crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Then for our meals, we got the Tan Tan Men and the Shio Chicken Ramen (with added spice). First I got to say, these are oversized bowls, so come to expect large portions of ramen! Both were very delicious with the perfect amount of flavor, though I had the Shio Chicken and it was everything I was looking for in a ramen and the white meat chicken breast was cooked to perfection! On top of the amazing meal, our server was amazing, on her game, had a very socialable attitude and full of great recommendations. I definitely plan to go back for those ramen craving nights and...

I recently visited Moto Ramen in Culver City, and I had an absolutely delightful experience. Here's why I gave it a solid 5/5:

I ordered the Chicken Ramen, and it exceeded my expectations. The portion size was generous, and there were plenty of noodles in the bowl. I appreciated that it wasn't overloaded with veggies, providing a perfect balance.

I opted to sit at a high top, and it was a great choice. The ambiance was comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly and efficient, making my dining experience even more enjoyable.

What impressed me the most was the quick service. I was in and out in less than 25 minutes, which was perfect for someone like me who was just passing through LA. The efficiency did not compromise the quality of the meal or the overall experience.

The prices at Moto Ramen are reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the food. It's a great value for the money spent.

Additionally, finding parking on the street was convenient and added to the overall ease of my visit.

In summary, Moto Ramen in Culver City is a gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a delicious bowl of ramen and excellent service. I'll...

They've got indoor and outdoor dining, to-go is done in the front entrance with in person dining entrance in the back patio. When you walk up you check-in with a QR code with name, number and party size.

I got the spicy tankatsu and the standard order comes with 4 sizable pieces of chashu, half a medium cooked egg, a small bunch of blanched bean sprouts, green onion, pickled ginger, and a large piece of nori.

Broth was light-medium and not the deep, rich broth that feels like a warm hug I expect with tonkatsu. The noodles were firm but clumpy in multiple bunches (see photo). Egg was cooked medium plus rather than soft. Minimal bean sprouts were provided and the ginger wasn't needed as the broth wasn't fatty at all to really need acidity. Chashu was the best part of the bowl as it was properly seasoned and on the leaner side.

The portion was pretty generous and semi-pickled, whole garlic was given to further season the broth (def needed).

Overall, a decent bowl of ramen but nothing really special. There are other ramen spots not too far away that put a little bit more time and care into the different aspects which make the meal THAT much...
