Food: Uninspiring palate of flavours

The food at Silverlake doesn't particularly stand out. Creativity in dishes is weak and the menu doesn't cater to a variety of diets, making it rather exclusive. However, the dishes, average in taste as they may be, are generously portioned and reasonably priced, often leaving customers full and satisfied.

  • Large Portions

    Generous and large portions consistently satisfy and fill customers.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found food satisfactory, neither exceptional nor disappointing, just average.

  • Low Quality

    Dry pork and noodles, unexplained quick serving time raises freshness concern.

Vibe: Negligible buzz, muted vibe

The restaurant leaves a lot to be desired in terms of vibe. Despite the well-thought-out, contemporary design creating a friendly ambiance, the lack of a house wine and the uninviting R&B music seem to divert the crowd, often leaving the place almost vacant.

  • Great Ambiance

    Quaint, cute, modern design creates a superb dining ambiance.

  • Bad Buzz

    The restaurant was close to empty, indicating low popularity or trendiness.

Perks: Unceremonious service dampens spirit

In terms of perks, Silverlake Ramen has a troubling conflicting set. On one hand, they provide plenty of free parking and cater well for pets and large groups, and on the other, the absence of reservation options and sub-optimal service often leaves customers frustrated. The loud music, although appealing to some, largely makes conversation challenging.

  • Easy To Park

    Free ample parking in shopping center by theater, very convenient.

  • Okay For Groups

    Good for small parties, but larger groups might face seating challenges.

  • Hard To Reserve

    No reservations allowed, leads to long waits and customer dissatisfaction.
