Ramen Bangaichi - Culver City

However, the real highlight is the bar. Arnie is a true master of his craft. He draws you in with his vibrant personality and treats everyone like family. He exemplifies what it means to be a consummate host at the bar. And yes, there is a full-service bar here! Thank you, Arnie—your hospitality and the incredible ramen will definitely keep me coming back every time I'm in town.

This restaurant is a charming spot with excellent ramen! While I can only comment on the vegetarian/vegan option, I thought it was truly delicious. The ambiance is more upscale compared to other ramen places I've visited, and I really appreciate the spacious booths along the wall. You can customize your bowl with various toppings like egg, onion, and corn. The portions are HUGE and very satisfying, even for a vegan dish. We requested forks since I'm not great with chopsticks, but they unfortunately ran out. There were only three other patrons there on a Tuesday—how could they be out of forks? It took over 10 minutes for them to bring one, though the staff did apologize. It was a bit strange, but they were really nice about it!
