Master Critic Review

Ramen Maruya 7.6
Downtown LA
A low-key plaza spot serving Hakata-style ramen alongside sushi and bento, with house-made noodles and a mellow, food-court-adjacent feel. Broth is classic and satisfying, and the menu breadth makes it great for groups with mixed cravings. Not flashy, but quietly solid.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Chashu Ramen, Ginger-Dressed House Salad
Scores:
