Silverlake Ramen - Kirkland

Not recommend tsukemen, as it was not made using tranditional way in japan, wrong type of noodles so you cant feel the sweetness in noddle, lead to very salty taste (also noodles portion very small compare to dipping soup). On the other hand, chashu and egg were very good.

The Shoyu Ramen was really good/flavorful. The eggs here are perfect. The Classic Ramen broth was really bland/under seasoned.

Unfortunately, Im very disappointed in my experience with SLR. I recently moved to the area and my best friend whos local said this was "the best ramen ever" and I wholeheartedly disagree. First, the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna and Pork Bun were both absolutely delicious and I would absolutely eat those again if for any reason I eat at SLR again. The Shoyu Ramen on the other hand was disgusting to me. The Shoyu base had no soy sauce taste to me, and there was a God awful amount of terrible spinach wilted throughout; Ill take the blame for not requesting this be withheld as I hate spinach in ramen, and didn’t read the description closely. There were also several very tough bamboo shoots in the bowl. Overall this ramen was a miss for me, but the pork slice was absolutely delicious!! I will likely try out SLR once more and perhaps dine in, but if youre a Shoyu lover like me, maybe skip this one.

Food is great. Prices went up recently.

Ramen clumps a bit but is really delicious
