Tori paitan from Mensho Tokyo SF. It’s rich and Tori paitan from Mensho Tokyo SF. It’s rich and creamy chicken soup, pork chashu, fried burdock root, kale, green onion, chives, dried parsley, pickled ginger. Probably one of the creamiest and silkiest broths I’ve ever had. The noodles were of high quality as evidenced by their easy slurp ability. The fried burdock root was a nice touch too. The kale topping brings a “Californian” twist to this bowl. Try this place out folks!!!! 🍜 🍜 The ramen universe must be pretty small, because I ran into @ramen_beast and @menya_shono walking away from the shop as I walked towards it. As soon as I realized who I had just walked passed, I chased them down and introduced my self. It’s so cool to meet other ramen nerds and creators in real life. What a small world to randomly cross paths. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #toripaitan #menshotokyosf 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
This is a kit from a shop that I visited on my las This is a kit from a shop that I visited on my last ramen pilgrimage to Japan. This is a “sano” style ramen that you could eat every day. This is 90 minutes north of Tokyo and had the freshest and best noodles I’ve ever put in my mouth. I can’t wait to get back to Japan again to get my authentic ramen fix satisfied. It’s been WAY too long. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #ramenkit #tochigi #sano #sanoramen 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
If you are looking for a broth less vegan noodle o If you are looking for a broth less vegan noodle option, I recommend hitting up @iki.ramen to give their Impossible Vegan Mazemen a try.

All of the food I’ve had here is really high end and well executed.

What a beautiful and tasty bowl of noodles here. What a beautiful and tasty bowl of noodles here. It’s a lamb/chicken broth, lamb shoulder chashu, tori chashu, shio tare, mint-oregano oil, smoked paprika oil, negi, and ajitma. Thin slurpable noodles. This was really light and flavorful. I really dug the use of the mint oil and smoked paprika. I’ve never had those flavors combined and it really hit the spot. I recommend you follow these guys so you can get your hands on their next collaboration and get your own kit. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #foodkit #ramenkit #ramentayosei #shimamotonoodle #diycooking #craftfood #craftmenship #lamb #chicken #chashu 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Ken’s Ramen is focused on delivering chicken bro Ken’s Ramen is focused on delivering chicken broth (Tori Paitan) based bowls of ramen. This is their Shoyu ramen. It’s a medium body chicken broth with the richness that comes with the addition of soy sauce. If you are craving a shoyu style of ramen, I think you’ll dig this. Thick wavy noodles are accompanied with this bowl. Topped with kakuni (slow braised thick cut berkshire pork belly) This store is located in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles and it’s vibe matches the hipster attitude of the neighborhood. Try it out folks! 🍜 🍜 Note, I did have an opportunity to try their signature OG bowl but after my visit I prematurley deleted all the video and pictures I took of the store and their signature ramen. After I realized I lost most of my content, I went through all 7 stages of grief (Shock and denial, pain and guilt, Anger, Depression, upward turn, reconstruction, acceptance and hope). I was seriously mad at myself and held back tears 😭🤣 at first, but 24 hours later I had accepted the loss and I’m looking forward to revisiting soon to recapture pics and videos of the OG ramen. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #kensramen #toripatian #shoyuramen #silverlakeeats 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Triple soup of chicken, pork, and fish. Japanese s Triple soup of chicken, pork, and fish. Japanese soy sauce, aroma oils, fried aromatics, sous vide pork chashu, green onion, and bamboo shoots. The fried aromatics are really pleasant and the little flakes of fried onion give the broth great flavor. The noodles are whole wheat and had a great chewiness and texture to them. I’m pretty sure these are the same noodles in the tantanmen. I recommend adding an egg to this one. Try it out for yourself and tell them Zac sent you 😎 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #rowlandheights #shoyu #triplesoup 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Triple soup (chicken, pork, and fish) with house m Triple soup (chicken, pork, and fish) with house made spicy oil, sesame paste, soy milk, minced pork, bean sprouts, green onion, sichuan powder and whole wheat noodles. The sesame flavor really sticks out and the use of soy milk keeps this bowl light. The noodles are whole wheat and had a great chewiness and texture to them. Great for slurping.

You can’t go wrong with any of the bowls @rament You can’t go wrong with any of the bowls @ramentao_orange . This is a new shop that is owned by the same master at @ramen_and_tsukemen_tao in Buena Park. It’s great to see the expansion. Besides serving up the same consistent delicious ramen, this location is in a bigger shopping center so they can serve more people at once and parking isn’t as challenging as the Buena Park location. Currently they are in the soft opening period to the public. Their grand opening event is on April 12th where if you are in the first 100 customers, you will receive a voucher for a free bowl of ramen on your next visit. Get over there and check them out folks! 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #yelpOC #orangecountyfood #cityoforange #ramenandtsukementao #oceats #softopening #grandopening 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Yuzu Paitan - Chicken bone broth, fresh yuzu, chic Yuzu Paitan - Chicken bone broth, fresh yuzu, chicken terrier, buttered corn, asparagus, wood ear mushrooms, cilantro, and red onion. The use of the yuzu really lightens up the chicken broth. Comparing this to Kashiwa, this is a much lighter but just as satisfying bowl. The use of asparagus, which happens to be in season is great too. This bowl won’t be available forever, but there is still time. Get over there now. Plus, all of the appetizers are top notch. Tell them Zac sent you. 😂 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #saikairamenbar #koreatown 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Another special ramen collaboration between @darth Another special ramen collaboration between @darth.gastrameny and @goramen . It was a green curry chicken paitan.

The Spicy and Electrifying Ramen. Hurry up to get The Spicy and Electrifying Ramen. Hurry up to get your hands on this limited time special. It’s only available till the end of this month. If you like sansho pepper (I do), you’ll dig this. I elected to get the lowest spice level and maxed out the numbness level. Sansho is a pepper that is really fragrant and I put a ton of it on many dishes. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #chefspecial #sanshopepper #spicyramen #buenapark 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Mazesoba from Kashiwa. New dish that will leave yo Mazesoba from Kashiwa. New dish that will leave you full and happy. I really enjoyed the addition of the fried chicken on top.
