Iki Ramen

Shared dinner with my boyfriend on Wednesday night and loved this little sushi/ramen spot; so charming and cozy and the food was incredible!Only a few intimate tables and some bar seating. Service was very attentive and all of our food was brought out perfectly timed out one after the other, so we were in and out quickly.We tried the blossom roll, iki roll, and the burnt garlic tonkotsu. The blossom roll was absolutely divine!!! All the flavors were so pronounced and just melt in your mouth beautifully. The ramen was also delicious, well portioned, thin and chewy noodles. Lovely presentation on everything.Excited to visit again and try more of their sushi!

Iki Ramen is a delicious spot in Ktown! Be prepared to SPEND because many of their menu items are a bit pricey. I got the Chashudon and it was very affordable and delicious, but it was a very small portion. The service quality is affected by how small and busy the storefront is. I came with a larger group of 8, and I felt like our server was trying to rush us in and out of the restaurant. Although the staff is a bit short, the restaurant does offer a free birthday dessert with two ice creams that were more than enough for our group to share.All in all, I had a positive experience, but I don't think I will be returning because of the service and expensive prices

A small and clean restaurant nestled in a small Ktown plaza. Servers are casual and straight to the point, and parking is $4 if you choose to park in the plaza. Been dreaming of their Uni Mazemen since trying it out for the first time a couple of years ago. Glad I was able to come back and rediscover the decadent flavor again. Be prepared to get hit w/ a strong sauce of uni wrapped in truffle oil. It's a super rich dish topped w/ ikura as it's saving grace. Not something you can wolf down like ramen, but definitely something to try out if you're a fan of uni. Their toro roll is also good, comes out with 6 pieces. The sushi definitely comes out faster than anything else jsyk. Considering how intimate this spot is, I'd recommend it for a quite/chill date. Esp if you don't like restaurants that are loud or crowded. Overall, quite happy w/ my visit here. I'll have to come back again to try out their ramen & round out the full experience :)

As a vegan, the options were very limited. Although it was nice to see that one option was offered, it would've been nice to have more. For example, JINYA or Rakken both give you plenty of options to choose from.FOODSpicy Vegan Miso Ramen ($20)It was bland, basic, and unexciting. The broth was unimpressive. The noodles tasted like a cheap vegan alternative. It just feels like they lazily scrapped together a vegan option without much thought or research.I don't have too much of a problem with unimpressive food, but for $20? That's just adding salt to the wound.SERVICEService here was top notch. Our server was extremely professional and informative. They gave us a lot of tips on what to order, as well as tips on how to enjoy our food. For example, they suggested that we mix the two desserts we ordered, and we really enjoyed it that way. It made our experience very pleasant! The service here is excellent.FACILITIES/INTERIOR- Very crowded and the tables are packed close to each other.- They have a restroom available. Clean and well stocked.- Parking is valet only and is for the strip mall. I forgot how much we paid but I believe it was around $3.

Iv been to Iki a few times for their ramen but wanted to stop by and try their sushi. We got the iki sushi set which had tuna, salmon, crab, and yellow tail. The nori comes separate that you assemble yourself to prevent it from getting soggy, which was a thoughtful touch. Pretty good for the price! But since there is only 4 included you might have to order a couple extra, to feel full. Only issue I had was the crab did have a couple of small shells hidden inside that I had to pick out. But other than that it was delicious.Food: 8/10Service: 9/10Ambience: 8.5/10

A cute intimate little spot that is great for a date night. Iki is located in a plaza with plenty of valet parking and can get pretty packed; I highly recommend signing up for their waitlist and/or arriving when they open. The Food:- Blossom Roll: Highly recommend, very tasty. I've been here before and have tried other rolls, but this one is the most solid.- Iki Premium Grab Handroll: I checked the menu and it should be 8 pieces for $48.00, but we definitely only received 4 pieces... not sure what happened here, but kind of disappointed, kind of a rip off.- Uni Mazemen: This was good but not great. If you are going for a creamy noodle, I would recommend going with the Mentaiko Mazemen instead.When we were wrapping up dinner, the staff kept repeatedly checking in to ask if we needed anything, which made it feel like they wanted us to leave asap. I do enjoy this spot but didn't have the greatest experience overall. Hoping others have better luck.

Amazing food.. had the blossom roll, uni maze men and the grab roll set. very tasty. cute interior. Service was very fast but the Only downside is that they were rushing us out by asking us over and over if we were still working (like every 2 minutes). Clearly wanted us out which wasn't ideal but the food was good so I could overlook that lol. I had to change my review. My friend and I got cheated- our "premium grab hand roll" only came with one piece each- we got charged the full price and only got half of the order. On top of being rushed out without an apology... shame

Iki has the best sushi AND noodles. My sister and I ordered Iki sushi, fried calamari (a special written on the white board again the wall by the kitchen archway), and uni mazemen. Everything was amazing. Their crab rolls are so good and the flavor of the mazemen always hits. Service was super quick but the mazemen arrived when we were halfway done with our other dishes (not a problem).I much prefer the cozy, intimate ambiance of their Koreatown location than their Hollywood location. I want to say I feeeel like the food is better at this location as well.There's a small parking lot out front. It's been here on an afternoon weekday and it was free, but on a Friday at 5PM, it was $4 for self-parking. Not sure what it'd cost to have valet park it.

Been here twice and still looking forward to visiting again! Things that stand out the most:- Portion for the ramen is not excessive. I like that the bowl is generous, but not too much that it feels like I'm stuffing myself. Also, ramen isn't the simplest food item to take home.- Broth isn't overly salty! I am always a bit afraid the broth will come out too salty, but this wasn't salty at all; in fact, I could've added more salt, but the black garlic flavor was flavorful enough.- Food comes out so fast!!- Prices for sushi is very reasonable for the quality.Can't wait to go back for another meal here!

Food 4/5: the seared salmon sushi roll was CRAZY. Honestly I can eat 100 of them lol I gave 4/5 because the vegetarian ramen was beyond spicy. Service 5/5: the food came out extremely fast, I loved that.Ambiance 5/5
