Modan Eagle Rock Ramen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Love this place! This place is tiny! Not that hard to find since it's in the plaza with Organic grocery store. Decorations are very interesting, farm house theme with modern style. Staffs are very very polite (with some sort of Japanese manners) and attentive. Dishes came out unexpectedly fast. On a regular Friday night, when usually Eagle Rock get quieter than Highland Park, this place still have lots people waiting outside. That's a good sign! They have some vegan/vegetarian options for everything, such as vegi ramen, curry bowl, seaweed salad, etc.

The Vegi ramen can be made vegan with kelp noodles. I ordered vegi ramen with medium spicy. It's perfect spicy level for ramen that really satisfies my cravings. We also ordered Brussels sprouts per other yelpers' recommendation. It's flash fried. I think it's good but a bit too greasy and too hard. Seaweed salad is a safe play. Very typical Japanese seaweed salad flavor (which you can also get a huge box from Costco if you really love that salad.) A side salad was served in a big bowl, a surprisingly good portion of salad. I was too hungry and didn't taste that much about this salad. No comment. Anyhow, I like this place so much. Will definitely come back...

Solid place for a good bowl of ramen. Their original ramen was very tasty. You get big portions too. Seating is casual but comfortable and family friendly. However, I had to subtract a star for the veggie tempura which was virtually inedible. It's one thing not to have excellent tempura (a light flaky crispy coating is hard to execute)! But this tempura was so bad. The dough was thick and the veggies such as pumpkin inside were raw. I tried to eat it as I hate wasting food but we simply couldn't eat it. Do not order it! We tried the crispy tuna rice appetizer and the wings and...

We visited Modan Eagle Rock Ramen, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Upon arrival, we were informed of a 20-minute wait for seating. Once seated, we placed our order, only to wait another 40 minutes. When we inquired about the status of our order, the waitress told us it would take at least another 20 minutes. This resulted in a total wait time of over an hour, prompting us to leave. While we understand they were short-staffed, it would have been helpful if they had clearly communicated the expected wait time—between 40 to 60 minutes—so customers could plan...
