Kai Ramen Sherman Oaks

Definitely one of the best Ramen spot in the area! We tried Chicken and Classic Ramen. You give really good portions unlike other places, definitely check whether you are ever in the area parking You are not on the street, there are enough parking spaces in the plaza when it is your first time to visit, perhaps even before the time when you are in a hurry will definitely come back and try the other ramens they have!

Does nobody in Sherman Oaks know what good ramen is? I came here with high expectations because of the high reviews, but every ramen dish we ordered was extremely disappointing. Another review had said the tsukemen was similar to Tsujita on Sawtelle, but it was a far cry! No bamboo shoots, the soup was too sweet, the meat was tough,and the noodles were not cooked properly. Unfortunately that was still the best ramen item we ordered out of 3. The volcano ramen came in second place but was barely edible. They ran out of the usual chicken it comes with, so we subbed the sesame chicken as our waiter recommended. Bad idea! The sesame chicken was so hard there were many pieces we had to throw out. The soup was again too sweet, and the other flavor was just tasteless spicy. The last ramen we ordered was the dry ramen, which is supposed to taste like mazemen. But when they say dry ramen, I guess they mean the noodles and everything are really DRY. And the flavors were terrible. It was basically inedible and none of us really touched it. We hate wasting food so we ended up taking it home with the leftover soup from the volcano ramen and tsukemen, and it's at least edible the second day. The only things that were decent were the appetizers and the service, which is why I'm giving 2 stars. The shishito peppers were the best thing we ordered, and the takoyaki was not bad either. A bit pricey at $7 for 4 pieces of takoyaki though. All in all, I'll never come back here even if I'm craving ramen. It's worth the drive down to Sawtelle on the westside for some REAL ramen.

This place is pretty good! I am spoiled with ramen from little Tokyo, but this place has great ramen. The noodles are yummy, but the broth is my favorite part. I feel it could have more flavors or diversity, but it does have very authentic ingredients and I enjoyed my meal. This is a nice place to go for quick, authentic ramen.

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.

This place ALWAYS has a line so I have been dying to try it, it did not disappoint! The volcano and white ramen was DELISH ! The volcano is spicy but really tasty and the white ramen is a buttery garlic noodle dish. It was a good combo to share , can?t wait to go back. Also there was sooooo many to go orders, wish I feel if you get ramen to go you know it?s that good
