wow I tried 2 out of these 4 locations without realizing they were the best top ramen places in LA. I heard the first one was really good plus it was near CSULA so it was really close to the school I used to go too. And I tried the 3rd one when my friend took me out for lunch for helping him with his work. Hopefully I get to try out those other 2 spots with my friend, I am looking forward to it :)

Definitely informative. Thanks

If anyone isn’t from LA just know you should get to Tsujita AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, avoid on Fridays & weekends unless if you want to wait over an hour. Santouka is fairly fast service because it is in a food court, and Daikokuya is good as well, but the wait can be long as well, but you can save a place in line on yelp ahead of time!

I've tried all 4 of these locations and I'll say props for picking 4 decently good ramen places in LA! I only wish instead of going to Okiboru for tsukemen, they would've gone to the original Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle (instead of Tsujita Annex) for their tsukemen which I feel like is bar none literally the best in LA. I personally wasn't impressed by Okiboru at all! But 100% agree with going to Daikokuya and Santouka. (Also cannot believe the guy said Santouka isn't too salty because it is SO SALTY but that's also why it's so good)

@iamsamjackson

Жыл бұрын

Haven't been to okiboru, but really didn't like the tsukemen at tsujita. waaaaay too fatty, and really one note flavor. Silverlake Ramen isn't the best ramen spot in town, but their tsukemen is delish.

@xevie37x

Жыл бұрын

@@iamsamjackson To each their own - I personally don't feel like the tsukemen at Tsujita is too fatty. Ramen broths to me should be fatty and rich, and especially in tsukemen so that the noodles are actually able to pick up the broth. I find that if the broth is not rich or thick enough, dunking my noodles in the broth doesn't amount to much and I might as well just order a regular ramen. I also don't feel that it is one note in flavor. It is one of the more unique ramen broths out there in my opinion. However, I've never had Silverlake ramen's tsukemen so I can't directly compare. Though I have had their classic ramen and was not impressed by the noodles or the broth so never returned though I used to live close by. Perhaps I will try their tsukemen if I'm back in the LA area.

I should say I don't mind fatty and rich. I thought Tsujita Annex sucked because it actually lacked taste - just was salt and salt and salt. Maybe it was just the chefs that day. (I love ramen and have been to Tokyo 3x, but frankly I like SF Bay Area ramen over Tsujita Annex)

I’ve had all of these and then some, my personal fav is santouka’s for the reason you guys noticed. It’s the most “composed” bowl. It all works together perfectly. Tsujita is mu second fav.

Slurpin’ Ramen Bar is my favorite so far, can’t wait to try some new places. Omg 🤤 😋

IMO the Glendale Chicken Ramen they serve at Tsujita in the Americana Mall is something to behold. It is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had.

I had an American English teacher in Japan who always complained when students slurped their drinks during class. Japanese people slurp a lot, not just for noodles. He despised the sound very much. One day, a student told the teacher, "You just slurped." "What? No, I did not", "Yes, you did" He was in total denial but after a while he realized that he actually DID slurp when he drank his coffee. The teacher was in shock he could not teach for a while. We had a good laugh.

Daikokuya and Santouka tie for my favs. Daikokuya’s egg is my absolute fav. And the side salad is also great. Santoukas egg is over cooked for me but the pork and the broth of the salt ramen is amazing.

ikr , their passion of making ramen so beautiful while plating

I tried ramen ones in Tokyo, but it had a soy base, and the noodles was thicker as well, it was very delicious.

Surprised they didn't try the tsukemen at Tsujita, that's one of the things they're known for. Glad it won out regardless.

Thanks for the great tips! Looking forward to hitting up theses spots when I'm there next! Cant go to LA without eating ramen! Btw: she is so freak cute!

Gotta try these joints....them bowls looks delicious

Sydney everytime get paired with Joe: * rolls eye * or "dude....really?" expression

I went to daikokuya the week after i came back from japan. I was always curious about why there was always a long line. Friends and I finally decided to go. The pork does literally melt in your mouth. the ramen itself though, I felt something was missing. Maybe it was an off day or I had some really high expectations but the ramen isn't as great as it seems like everyone is saying. Friends and I also got the gyoza and takoyaki those were also delicious. Maybe I will go back and try the ramen again.

We’ve got a Santouka near where I’m from. It’s absolutely amazing probably the best you can get in the US

Tsujita has two ramen restaurants on the same street, the other one is tsukemen style (dipping) it's top notch. About a block away is Tastu ramen, it has thin noodles and is up there too.

my man over here leaving his chopsticks stuck into his noodles 🤣 what in the actual hell

Been to every spot on Sawtelle, which includes the Tsujita Annex, and Daikokuya beats it by a good mile.

the Jiro style and tsukemen might be great after you hit a few pubs, but normally I will probably go for tonkatsu ramen
