Reviews for Kopan Sushi & Ramen in Encino, CA
I really hate leaving bad reviews but the decent/good reviews is what brought us there to give it a try. I must say it?s the... worst tasting ramen I have ever had. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with ?fatty? pork (pork belly). I added fried garlic andshiitake mushrooms (and thank god I did). We were asked what level of heat we wanted and I asked for medium and my boyfriendwanted hot. The soup came with noodles, seaweed, sprouts, corn, pork, and my Garlic and mushrooms on the side. I noticed thebroth had a white-ish color to it. It tasted like it had cream in it (but was told it didn?t contain cream). The broth had notonly no heat but ZERO flavor. Honestly.. no taste plus that weird creamy texture, not my cup of tea. We asked for spicy chilion the side in attempt to salvage it. The chilli sauce had no heat either. I added soy sauce desperate for some umami.. reallycup o noodles has more taste than this broth. The pork was not tender no flavor and had a slight aftertaste. I had two bitesof it & gave up. The noodles weren?t worth eating since the broth wasn?t tasty. I picked at my shitake mushrooms and garlic andcalled it a day. 2 soups and tip set us back about $45! We left feeling very disappointed & won?t be back. Read more
Great spot, chill vibes . Good authentic taste .
Absolutely amazing sushi place. Their mango sushi special is like nothing Ive ever tried before. Last time I went here, it was... for my birthday. Im not exactly sure what happened, but I guess they were out of cake or ice cream. Instead they brought out alittle platter of an egg, wasabi, and ginger arranged to look like a cake, with candles. The staff here are super nice andaccomodating. Kind enough to make me this weird cake rather than turning us away completely. Ill never forget my egg cake. Thankyou guys! Read more
Tonkatau ramen was hot and tasty. The Miso spicy ramen was delicious. I asked for it extra spicy but I could have added a bit... more spice. My favorite sushi here are the crispy rice spicy tuna. Simple and they do it well. Always fresh and bright and crispflavor. Pitchers of Sapporo pair well with the menu. Read more
Loved the food, our waitress wasn't very attentive though
This is hands down one of my favorite spots for ramen! I also like that they have more to offer than just ramen. They have so... much to choose from that I try something new every time I go here. I really recommend this spot if you are looking for a nicesetting, but also amazing food! Read more
One of the best sushi's I had in LA. By far greater quality of sushi ramen and poke bowl than in little tokyo. I accidentally... stumble upon this place for lunch in the sitting there for an hour and a half ordering dish after dish. Poke bowl was by far thebest dish. Even Philadelphia roll for 5.50 was amazing. Great service. Read more
The ramen is delicious! The sushi is too. If you come on a Friday night be prepared to wait 30-40mim to be seated.
