What People Are Saying About Mr Ramen
Featured Review

In Short – Walking down East 2nd in the heart of Little Tokyo, the smell of curry emanates from this unsuspecting hole-in-the-wall. Once inside, the casual setting, brick walls and traditional Sumo pictures put patrons at ease, transporting them to a friendly curry house that could easily be in the middle of Osaka. Dedicated ramen enthusiasts and local Japanese residents come to enjoy the signature dish, ranging from the most popular curry ramen to the traditional cashew pork ramen and less traditional fried chicken ramen. Other fare includes pork gyoza dumplings, curry rice and chicken…

Exellent Curry Ramen!
by JCorona at Citysearch
Their curry ramen is awesome. I have only been here a few times though. The first time we had to wait which sucked but after that it went smooth. I would give this place a 5 stars except I have had better Ramen. This comes close to the best for me though. It's for sure worth giving it a try. Their pork is also pretty damn good.

Cold Ramen is Unique Here....
by jamesmb at Citysearch
I love this place for their pork. Sure it's not the "best" ramen place, but what makes this place stand out is their pork. It's not too salty or greasy and it is seasoned just right. I love their cold ramen which is really refreshing on a cold day. My main complaint is that I wish they included bamboo shoots and a whole egg in their ramen, but oh well, I still like it. The place is also not expensive.

Nice and Cheap, but they don't skimp...
by badmillie08 at Citysearch
I have been going to Mr. Ramen for a good long while now. The menu has no frills, but they deliver excellent quality. Large servings are enough for fill you up for dinner and breakfast the next day. The service is alright and the reggae music gives this little hole in the wall a very warm and friendly atmosphere. So if you're short on cash, but if you want a meal that'll fill you up without making you feel like you're gonna have a coronary right afterwards, head over to Mr. Ramen! PS: If you're a tofu lover whose looking for a little more spice, ask for the Mabo Ramen extra spicy. That'll warm you up on a cold night.
- Pros: Great food for cheap
- Cons: no parking

Amazing, huge bowls of ramen!
by heyitsdi4n4 at Citysearch
Mr. Ramen is perfect for vegetarians who crave great ramen--they make just about any bowl vegetarian. They also have tasty curries and other dishes. The bowls can be a little expensive (about $8 or so) but overall the service is great and the food even better. There's a really sweet waitress there with crazy hair and she's always nice about making things vegetarian. A great noodle bar!
- Pros: Veggie friendly ramen, good service, great food
