“ *PreCOVID-19 Review* While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several years ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the time. They didn't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is non existent. Just park on the street and read the signs carefully or you'll get a ticket. Food: I ordered the original Tonkotsu. The broth is so fricken delicious. A rich creamy and complex soup, served with soft noodles, topped with mouthwatering slow cooked chashu, mushrooms, green onion, and black sesami oil. Bomb ramen! Awesome portion size. Staff: The staff here are very kind, friendly, and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. ”

“ I came here randomly on Saturday and tried their Tonkatsu Ramen Champ. I really enjoyed the ramen as all the ingredients were fresh and the ramen noodles were cooked just right, "al-dente." The pork was soft and the broth had a hint of spiciness that I appreciated. Although the broth was "heavy," I enjoyed it. Price for a bowl of ramen is high, but rent is probably super expensive. Service was great. Not too much seating inside, most seats are bar style, which most people, including myself, have the mentality of "get in, get out." Overall, a good experience. #20/2019 ”

“ All jokes aside, this is my fav ramen place in LA. That's right all of Los Angeles. So this place is located at a pretty hidden hipster mall in Chinatown which is why I think it is super under rated. But over the years of me coming back, it has definitely not lost its magical touch. In fact, this place is so dope that I have been hung over drunk in the morning before and banged on the door when it was closed. The ramen chef opened the door for me and took my order and I was forever grateful. Today I have decided to try something new, a curry omu rice dish at a ramen place and it was delicious, just like the ones I have had in Japan. So do try everything, it's a chill place, parking is free, and usually there is no wait which is like the best part being in LA. The chef is dope, you will like him and you will love the food. ”

“ Wanted some amazing ramen. Searched for some amazing ramen after the Dodgers game (I'm a Red Sox fan). And ate some amazing ramen. Definitely recommend this place. The broth was amazing the noodles were perfectly cooked nice little spot with some dope artwork on the walls. I got the spicy miso ramen with chicken instead of pork belly with 10 spice level ”

“ Tucked away unassumingly in the upstairs corner of the Far East Plaza in Chinatown is Ramen Champ: where I had my Valentine's dinner this week. Now, Ramen Champ wasn't the first choice -- we stumbled upon it since his original choice was a very spicy place I didn't think I could handle. Seeing RC on Yelp and then happening to find ourselves standing in front observing the menu, we had to give it a try. We had been talking about Ramen for weeks! It was empty. But it was early (6pm). The seating is all counter style with modern decor and graffiti type, modern Japanese art on the walls giving it a cool vibe but also felt really clean. We took our seats facing the kitchen and enjoyed watching our food being prepared. We knew we were in for a treat! We started with the gyoza - pretty good! Even better? Our Ramen: his was the Vegan Shoyu Ramen with tofu, shiitake mushrooms, nori, green beans, green onion, in a veggie broth with Spinach noodles. I had a bit - it's delicious and he really enjoyed! My dish was excellent and fresh too being the Chicken Shio Ramen with chicken cashu, wood ear mushroom, naruto, bamboo shoot, green onion and egg of course in broth. So delish - I need to go back! Service was great (ok, other than one other customer, we were the only ones) and were left alone to our own devices unless we had a question. Pay at the cashier up front since they don't take the cash from your seat and tip goes in the tip jar! Thanks Ramen Champ, we'll be back! ”

“ Awesome food! Serious. The Ramen is amazing and the staff is super duper nice. I had the Ramen Champ and it was huge. The lady there warned me I better be hungry. She's right, it was a lot of food but very yummy nonetheless! I took off one star not for the food but because the place has basically bar type seating. The chairs are hard and it's basically a stool. If your shorter you may have trouble putting your feet on the foot bar which does put a lot of pressure your rear end. BUT the food is amazing. Give them a try if you like Ramen! ”

“ I was ECSTATIC to find out that a Ramen Place opened up in Chinatown. I can finally skip out on driving to Lil Tokyo, with their insane traffic, even worse parking situations and horrid lines for popular ramen spots. As many mentioned, this is above Chego/ Howling Ray's which can be easy to miss. When we went to the 2nd floor, it was very empty and only had a few shops opened, including Ramen Champ. Parking: Validated, underground and very small. Restaurant setting: Very Very hip and a bit small. I loved their black and white art that included characters holding ramen noodles. The "bar" area had really high chairs and a HOOK FOR PURSES!!! I absolutely love it when places have this, its so considerate for females. Service: It wasn't crowded when my bf and I arrived so we received top notch service with great recommendations. Food: Shrimp Gyoza- It's steamed, not fried and came with a very unique and delicious sesame sauce for dipping. Tan Tan Ramen? ($10)- The broth was very rich and had a quality taste to it. It wasn't super salty (the Lil Tokyo) options which I liked. Ramen Champ opted out of the traditional green onion and put bok choy inside their bowl, which was a nice twist. We asked for extra chili oil to add an extra kick to it. Taco Rice ($10)- ordered this to-go for my sister and she didn't like it at all. It was very simple ingredients and wasn't worth what we payed. Utensils - I loved their chopstick wrappers!! "My favorite type of men.... is ramen". Their bowls had their name and logo on it which was a great touch Overall, It was a pleasant visit. I would definitely re-visit to try their other menu items (including their which ramen noodle option) but would avoid their rice bowls. ”
