Kai Ramen - Sherman Oaks

Awesome ramen spot that we stumbled on while staying in the area. They had table tops and sushi bar seating as well. We had a decent sized group and we didn't want to wait so we all just sat at the sushi bar. The ramen and the apps were delicious. The staff was nice as well. Definitely a spot im coming back when im in the area again.

Definitely not worth 5 stars. I'm not going to finish my food. I took maybe 5 bites and was over it.It was "to go", but I don't feel dine-in would be much better.

What a pleasant space to bring a date to! My lady and I ordered ramen which is very tasty! Come try this delicious spot it is very good and the service is excellent!

I don't know how this place slipped through my research. Ever since bring back from Japan we are constantly on the hunt for authentic and delicious ramen, my friend recommended this place to us and I don't know how I didn't see this before. It has amazing reviews and a block away from my husband's office. Even though it was 100 degrees yesterday, we were craving ramen and really intrigued to try this place. So far this is in the top two ramen in LA for us, we really want to come back and try other types of ramen they provide but we really enjoyed it!Let me not forget to mention our server Sophie! She was so kind and helpful, she checked on us multiple times, she answered all our questions (we had a lot for being first timers here), and she did everything with a smile. Service was amazing, they were so so nice!This place has an authentic Japanese 'hole in the wall' feel to it, super easy to pop in and have some delicious ramen. They have a fantastic selection of ramen and sides. I highly recommend getting a combo with the gyoza and salad. Their gyoza is delicious and they do a black sesame salad dressing which I loved and haven't seen anywhere else before. Also do yourself a favor and order the spicy tuna crispy rice, I had one before I ate my ramen and one right after, it was perfect. The chicken ramen was light and the best I've had in LA, I added sprouts on the side. My husband got the white ramen, it was delicious, I really liked the broth, it was just a little garlic heavy for me but he is a garlic lover so it was perfect for him. I would love to try the classic and miso based one next time.

Yum! Yum! Yum! The BEST ramen in the valley!!!!Parking is horrendous but worth it. Just be a little patient.

Im in town on business and a friend recommended this place. Its in a strip mall and parking can be difficult but well worth it!!!Its small but man can they make ramen. I had the Ramen Combo, goyza and house salad. The salad was excellent the dressing was rich and a had a great balance of sweet and acid (bottle this stuff and sell it) was a great way to start the meal, it was topped with fried shallots. The Goyza, was fried, myself included prefer mine fried on one side, but they were excellent. The star was the Ramen, i ordered an extra egg and this was spicy and it did not disappointed. The broth was rich and had lots of flavor. It came with ground beef, corn, green onions, egg and noodles. The noodles were excellent they had a nice chew to them, just how i love them, the corn was fresh (not canned) and had a great corn taste to them the green onions added a nice contrast to the meal. I love seasoned eggs i always get an extra egg and these did disappoint. Service was friendly from the time i walked in, when I arrived i was the only customer, but service continued to be friendly as more and more people arrived. Its a small place not very well decorated but who cares the food here is first rate ill be back when im back in town!!!

Stumbled across this place looking for some food along Ventura Blvd. this seems to be a small hole in the wall ramen spot, and from my experience most hole in the wall places are the hidden gems. The customer service was absolutely amazing, the two servers were divine and seemed very enthusiastic with the people they were serving. I was recommended the white ramen, she described it to be very delicious. The white ramen was loaded with lots of flavor, and i got it a spice level medium. I've had my fair share of ramen, and I think this spot is definitely above average and competes with its neighboring places in the city. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend.

This is my first 5 star review in not only the Ramen category but among all food genres. I'm a stickler and my kids are picky. Tough to satisfy both palates with disparate criteria. Let's start with the star of the show - the ramen. My volcano ramen was spiced just right with crispy popcorn chicken, a delightful broth with the right amount of oil to enhance the mouth feel and unleash the full panoply of flavors. The noodles were perfectly just al dente. The kids ramen was equally well crafted and immediately devoured without talking or complaints (rare). The fried rice was beautiful and restrained. The spicy chicken and spicy tuna was destroyed by one of the girls; footnote - the spicy chicken dipping sauce was incredible. The salad was delicate and creative with a tasty sesame dressing. The food came out quickly and the server was attentive and on point. Overall, the best ramen experience in Sherman oaks / studio city rivaling little Tokyo and the ramen we had in Tokyo proper.

One of the best ramen places in Los Angeles! Always delicious always hits the spot. The classic spicy ramen a perfect summer lunch

One of the most impressive ramen experiences I've ever had all in a very nondescript setting.
