Ramen Kenjo — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Tucked away at University Park by USC, Ramen Kenjo offers students, residents and locals alike some delicious ramen and bowls for those who are looking for a quick bite.

The interior is simple, long and narrow, but seating outside is also available should it be crowded. The food comes out very quickly, and they offer 3 hour validation to those who dine in and park at the structure underground. Which is a big plus and very convenient to those living in the area, because everyone knows that parking is always a struggle out in LA!

Ramen Kenjo offers both pork broth and chicken broth for those who cannot consume pork. A variety of appetizers and sides are also offered to supplement your meal, and they also sell rice bowls for those trying to avoid flour!

I ordered the MEAT-UP because I love my proteins. The meat was all delicious, I could do without the sausage, but the chashu pork and chicken was amazing. Well seasoned, perfectly tender and had excellent texture. The broth was good, but because I enjoy thicker, creamier broths, it was just okay. Had a good amount of flavor and I can't say that I didn't finish it.

Decent ramen place to get your cravings out of the way. Not a place that you would need to make a trip out for, but if you're in the area and craving ramen, it will definitely get the job done! Don't forget to check in on yelp for that free...

Came in hungry for ramen in a cold day. I ordered ramen and wanted to sit on and enjoy my meal. There was no place to sit indoors and an area with 5 barstools ON A TABLE seemed unoccupied. I asked LUPE THE CASHIER if I can sit there and she said “no we are about to close” … The only place to sit was outside in the cold. I ordered my food … then I calmly told her Me: what time do you close? She: 8pm Me: it’s 7:20pm please let us sit on the barstools it’s freezing outside She: no Me: have some basic customer service. Theres no place to sit … we will finish by 8.. it’s 7:20 She : no Me: then would you prefer I cancel my order ? I’m not eating in the freezing cold Her: yes! Great! And proceeds to refund my money with a smile on her face I’ll take my business elsewhere LACK IF...

i think the food is serviceable, really, especially as it's the only ramen in the village. the ramen is alright -- nothing to write home about but certainly not awful, either. i actually enjoy the popcorn chicken.

i think the owner (? not sure if he is, but he's usually the cashier when i go in or pass by) is kind of unpleasant. being east asian myself, don't get me wrong, i love to support asian-owned businesses, and to cut him some slack, i still eat here in spite of how i feel about the way he operates.

anyway, like i said, the food is between okay and good. i would recommend going...
