Reviews For kai ramen sherman oaks

This was an excellent meal. Merci the hostess who served me and took my order was very nice and attentive. The food itself, excellent. The salad that I got was sooo good. The dressing is some kind of sesame dressing and it was fabulous. Usually restaurants treat their salads as an afterthought and give you something basic with ranch, but not Kai ramen. The salad, wow. The ramen was also excellent. The broth was great and full of flavor and was nice and warm (temperature and heat wise, I got medium). The dish had a lot of different ingredients which kept it exciting throughout. Excellent experience, will be back again! (Parking lot fills up quick and is small, plan accordingly)

It's a small location inside a shopping center so parking is a pain they do have some street parking but that's also a pain. But it is so worth the wait. This was our first time here and we left super happy with not only our meals but with our service. The staff is super nice and friendly. The dining area and restroom was very clean. It doesn't have kid friendly food unless you child likes eat this type of food. At least mine didn't want to try anything. We will definitely be coming back for more. Don't let it's location or parking fool you it very well worth the wait.

I came in on 05/10/2025 around 5pm. Food: Tried their Tsukemen for the first time. It was served with two tender slices of pork and marinated egg. The broth was thick and salty, pairs so well with the jumbo ramen noodles. They have a new Fried Calamari appetizer on the menu, it comes with I believe a sriracha mayo dip. The batter was well seasoned and the calamari itself is not rubbery. The batter got burned a bit, but I do not mind at all. Service: It was perfect. The staff were attentive. Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. Gives off a typical Ramen Restaurant vibe. It has counter seating. Overall the food tasted great. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. I don't go to Tsujita anymore for Tsukemen. Kai Ramen all the way.

Definitely one of the best Ramen Spot in the area! We tried the Chicken and Classic Ramen. They give really good portions unlike other places, definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area Don't park in the street, theres enough parking in the plaza if it's your first time visiting, maybe even call ahead of time if you're in a rush Will definitely be coming back and try the other Ramens they have!

This was my very first time coming to this particular establishment and just wow, great ramen dishes. My company and I partially shared because both bowls were so good. You know a place is good, when it's still relatively early for dinner and there is already a line. Even the prices were decent considering the kind of food being served. The place is small but has some outside seating as well. The service was good but since it was dinner time we we a little rushed due to the high volume of patrons wanting to eat, Which is fair. All in all, it was worth it and I will be going back.

Great ramen overall. They offer both vegetarian and vegan options. I enjoyed the vegan tonkotsu, which was rich and creamy with a good amount of veggies. My partner had the black negi ramen and liked it too.

Wow. Now THIS is ramen done right! I ordered the Volcano Ramen and it was amazing! So delicious, not too hot (just right amount of spice), and looked amazing when brought to us. Came here with a party of 4 right before the dinner rush (around 6pm on a Saturday night) and we were luckily able to get a table within 10 minutes of getting there. The service was excellent, we got seated, got our waters, and they were fast to get our orders to us. Definitely try the appetizers, but make sure you save room for the ramen because it is so delicious you’ll want to finish the whole bowl! I’ll definitely come back here again to try more of their ramen, hoping to be a regular here soon.

Love this place. It's a little small but cozy and warm. I visited here many times and kept coming back. Lots of local people and loyal customers. Always busy, wish means food is fresh.
