Food: Overflowing portions offering value

Ramen Izakaya's top dishes impress, particularly the Spicy Miso Ramen with its flavor-loaded broth and fresh ingredients, the Popcorn Shrimp perfected in crispness and creaminess, and the Chicken Karaage so tasteful it doesn't require a sauce. While the taste and freshness have mixed reviews, the place scores remarkably high on offering generous portions that reflect real value for money.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, huge, and filling portions highly praised by customers.

  • Okay Quality

    Mixed experiences with vegetable freshness; sometimes great, sometimes not.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu limited, especially in non-spicy choices for different tastes.

Vibe: Effortlessly chic ambiance

The restaurant creates a charming aura with its modern, chic ambiance. Although the entertainment doesn't stand out, it doesn't distract from the dining experience either. Though suitable for groups, it doesn't shy away from playing host to date nights. Amidst a less promising neighborhood, the drinks list, particularly the happy hour specials, surprisingly impress.

  • Great Drinks

    Happy hour specials and quality drinks receive abundant praise.

  • Okay For Dates

    Place has spacious seating, suitable for groups but also works for dates.

  • Bad Buzz

    Neighborhood lacks promise, bleak parking lot, not mentioned as trendy.

Perks: Remarkable attention to convenience

At Ramen Izakaya, guests are pampered with free valet and plenty of backlot parking. The restaurant beams in accommodating large parties, and shines even brighter in service with its friendly and attentive staff. Showing good consideration for diverse dietary requirements, they offer a range of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. However, it's not an ideal setting if you're drawn towards outdoor seating or seeking a quieter dining experience.

  • Easy To Park

    Free valet and ample backlot parking provide exceptional convenience for diners.

  • Hard To Hear

    Extremely loud people and club music disrupted the dining experience
