Ramen Nippon — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Ramen Nippon is one of our local favorites! The staff here is wonderfully friendly, welcoming and very courteous. The great thing is, it's been Iike this for many years! The food here is outstanding. Excellent quality food and portions with affordable prices. We can't get enough of whichever broth we select here!

Tonight we had the Edamame, Chashu Ramen and Curry Rice. There was so much food, we had to take a doggie bag home. The edamame came out perfectly steamed and lightly salted. The Chashu Ramen has a Shoyu-based broth. It was light and flavorful. The meat was tender and paired well with the scallions, egg and bamboo shoots. The Curry Rice has a flavor you can't shake. The curry alone has a delicious, spiced flavor to it that I can't describe. The rice has a southern comfort feel to it due to the grain used much like a rich, sticky rice texture.

This is definitely one of our favorite spots and we will be back. The only downfall would be parking since it is located caddy-cornered in a tiny shopping center with a few parking spaces. You will have to find street parking. Other than that, we can't wait until...

Let me start off by saying, I've never had real ramen before. This was my first time trying it. A friend from work who's into the culture recommended this spot because its a 5 minute walk from my house. I placed the order for pickup on the phone today and I regret not doing this sooner. He recommended I get the spicy miso ramen with double pork and egg. I also picked up some gyoza. Boy oh boy was I in for a treat. All in all I spent more or less about $20. When I got to the house I realized this was enough food for 2 adults. Or in my case, I'll be able to enjoy this delicious ramen tomorrow for lunch as well. I'm writing this as I am sitting at the table happily staring at my food that's how happy I am with this experience. I have to admit, I went in my pajama pants and a t-shirt to this place not thinking much of it. It's a lot fancier than I thought it would be. It's actually really nice. Next time I have ramen I will be eating in. It looked nice and cozy place. The customer service was fantastic. Overall a very pleasant experience. Literally nothing bad I can say...

Cash only. They very nicely have an ATM, passing on the price of using a credit card to the customers. Noodles are hard and chewy. I mixed with vinegar to give any sort of better flavor. Still not great. Curry was liked a lot. Not too spicy. The rice helped. Soup is strong but not good, although it does grow on you. Very oily. I personally hated all the veggies in the bowl. I felt they were hard and flavorless. Vinegar pourer didn't even pour unless shaken Gyoza I felt was very doughy, but others liked it. It definitely needed soy sauce. I left my bowl of ramen mostly full. The pork is very dry. I gave mine to a friend after eating one slice. Very American decor. Friend said soup tastes like beef consommé, a Mexican food. He left his unfinished too. He liked the noodles though. Other friend described it as very sweet.

There is a buzzing outside from all the electric signs that...
