The parking lot gets busy as it's for several businesses in the plaza. Come early to get a spot.Wife and I got brussel sprouts for appetizer and it was really delicious with the garlic aoli. Definitely get the brussel sprouts.Original modan ramen is delicious with the long hours of cooked pork broth. It's creamy, rich, warm perfect when the weather is a bit cold. A definite must!Come check out the place and get yourself some delicious ramen that you will remember for days

We visited this ramen spot for Saturday lunch after seeing some great reviews, and my kids--big ramen fans--were excited to try it. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but parking in the plaza was a bit of a challenge.The staff was friendly and attentive, though it could be tough to get their attention when they were in the back. Ramen bowls are priced around $16, which seems pretty standard these days. The portions were reasonable, and the side dishes stood out as really tasty.The broth, however, wasn't as rich or flavorful as some other ramen places we've tried, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. That said, we still had a very good overall experience, and we'd definitely consider coming back!

Really cute little ramen restaurant in Eagle Rock that's deserving of your business. I've had this spot bookmarked on Yelp for a while now and was able to swing by for a late night Monday dinner.Modan is located in a super small strip mall off the main drag. Thankfully the signage was well lit and it was easy to find. Parking though might be your biggest hurdle like with anyplace this side of town. Parking spots in front of Modan were taken so we did have to park slightly further away down in the strip mall but that was fine. It's a narrow small strip mall with only one side for parking so spaces fill up.Ramen is competitive in LA so while the ramen was very tasty and in my home town would likely be closer to 5 stars, basing them out of being in LA with so many options I would say Modan is a solid 4 stars all day long which isn't bad at all. The ramen here was tasty, the inside was cute. And our waitress while busy, was friendly.That would be my little upgrade is maybe having two staff working the front for dinner service as it got busy but I also get this is a small restaurant. We just noticed our waitress got pulled for a lot of phone calls and takeaway orders which didn't allow her to be as attentive to her six tables of diners BUT she definitely tried her best and kept a smile on her face throughout the whole experience. Sorry I didn't catch her name but she worked hard and hustled. The ramen here is flavorful and an amazing portion size for $16. My friend and I both went with the classic tonkotsu ramen and it was super good. The broth was rich but not overdone. The noodles were some of my favorite as they were light and bouncy. I thought it was a great classic ramen done well. Huge portion, you'll likely have leftovers. Also appreciated when we asked for chili oil she brought us out a massive pourer for the oil. Love it. If you are on this side of town Modan is a great option for some no frills, tasty, and comforting ramen.

I come here often and I always order one thing: the Original Modan Ramen. It is consistently good and rich in flavor. Ramen is one of the ultimate comfort foods, but at many places it's super heavy and on the salty side (not necessarily a bad thing, though). The ramen here is light without sacrificing any of the taste. I'm not left feeling bloated or strung out in a food coma. Aside from the broth, the pork really makes the dish. It's seasoned well, tender, and seared on both sides. I wish I knew how they made it.Some nights it can get quite busy in the dining room and for carryout. I wish they'd hire more employees!

First time eating here; very impressed. Service was friendly and prompt. I had Kimchi Ramen, which was as spicy as promised. The pork was cooked perfectly, IMO - tender, and so tasty. The Kimchi was also good, and that spicy broth was just what I was looking for.My husband had Veggie Ramen with Kale Noodles. He liked it a lot. The broth was miso based (being appropriate for Vegans), which he liked, and he preferred the texture of the kale noodles to my regular flour noodles. It was supposed to come with raw tofu, but unfortunately that was accidentally left out. Mentioned it to the super nice person who helped us, and she deducted $2 from our bill. He should have said something immediately, but forgot it should've had tofu, until he saw the bill.Overall an excellent experience.

Next time might have to try the ramen, but ordered the Yakisoba. The flavors were way too salty. It's a smaller store inside with not too many seating options. Service was quick. So this is a good option for a nice quick dinner if you're in the area. If you're looking for really good ramen, recommend just making the drive to other options in the SGV area.

Delicious! Esp love the brussel sprouts, and they sometimes have a spicy tuna on crunchy rice thing that's delicious.

they have a pretty good selection of food and their ramen was very tasty. i had the spicy edamame and the kimchi ramen (which is pretty freaking huge for the price!) their green tea was alright, but that's about it.as far as their seating area goes, it's pretty quant and nice. when i went there was one other family there but other than that it was pretty empty. that can either be good or bad; depending on your preference. i'm not sure if it's usually like that or not, but yeah.their chopsticks they offer are great though; i know that's random but still.

I'm not sure about the 4.5 stars rating. Came here for dinner and didn't have the ramen. We had chicken teriyaki bowl dinner special that came with tempura, salad and edamame. The chicken is very dry and tough and the teriyaki sauce is way too thick. The tempura is heavily breaded and it's not cooked thoroughly so it's a bit hard to bite. The spicy edamame is not savory at all. We also got the chashu bun, where nothing good came out of it. The chashu is a shredded pork and it's dry. Never had chashu bun like it ever. Maybe next time I'll try the ramen but not so sure about it.
