The heat from this bad boy seems to come from the use of pepper and I think that differentiates this bowl from the Tokyo or Downtown styles here. Make sure you add the cilantro and use generous squeezes of lemon to get the most out of this bowl. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #outdooreating #killernoodle #pepper #sawtelle #spicyramennoodles #sawtellejapantown 🍜 🍜 #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

I heard through the ramen grape vine that there was this new bowl in town. It sounds like it’s going to be a regular menu item going forward so don’t worry about missing it as if it was only a seasonal special item. But, don’t wait to try either.

The Quartz ramen from Rakkan is a creamy option th The Quartz ramen from Rakkan is a creamy option that starts with their awesome vegetable broth, topped with grilled pork, green onion, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, and vegan creamy sauce. Served with their signature noodles. This chain has several locations in LA and I’ve found that all of them are producing consistently delicious bowls of ramen. All of their bowls can be adjusted to be vegan/vegetarian friendly. Next time I come here I’m going to make my option vegan friendly so that I compare this with the vegan ramen at ramen hood in DTLA. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #outdoordinning #vegan #creamy #redondobeach #Rakkanramen #umami #vegetablebroth 🍜 🍜 #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 one of the few places that has outdoor seating so we can still enjoy the broth and noodles right out of the kitchen. If you are in the mood for Tsukemen, I recommend you hit this place up.

Josui Mazesoba here. I was so busy eating my own Josui Mazesoba here. I was so busy eating my own ramen that I only sampled a bite of this. It was really good. It had a healthy portion of beansprouts so it will leave you full if you make it all the way to the bottom. I didn’t eat enough of it to honestly compare it to the Menya Hanabi mazesoba that I had late last year. I’d def try this on my return visit. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #josui #josuiramen #mazesoba #eatingoutside 🍜 🍜 #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
Even though we’ve gone in reverse with regards t Even though we’ve gone in reverse with regards to being able to dine inside restaurants we can still enjoy when there is outdoor seating. Ramen Josui is one such place that has brought some of their seating outside. It was a warm day, but the karaage, cold beer, and their signature Josui ramen was perfect. This is their signature ramen that is chicken and pork broth that is lightly finished with fish. It has a pretty unique flavor for shops in LA and I really enjoy it. I’ve gotten this several times. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #josui #josuiramen #outdooreating 🍜 🍜 #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
Rarely do I indulge my self in purely vegan dishes Rarely do I indulge my self in purely vegan dishes. But, I am an omnivore and I’m always willing to try new things. Right before LA paused dine in service this week I was able to enjoy some dine in deliciousness at one of my favorite establishments. Behold the Vegan Soba. 🍜 This was a really light broth that had hints of mushrooms and kelp. This was a little sweet. I think the sweetness tends to happen with Vegan/Vegetarian broths. All of those veggies do have some sugar in them and when you simmer them all together it brings out that sugar. It’s served with a side of ginger. There were two sizes of noodles. Both were flat, but one was a little wider than the other. Making it a challenge to get that smooth slurp. The tofu and fresh greens on top was nice. I felt light, refreshed, and satisfied when finishing this bowl. 🍜 This is a high quality vegan option that I’d eat again, if the mood is right. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #kazan #beverlyhills #vegan #veganramen #vegansoba 🍜 🍜 #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
Keep your eye out for this special Tai Ramen when Keep your eye out for this special Tai Ramen when it’s available @iki.ramen . This bowl is unique because they’ve managed to pair the fresh and light fish flavor from the sea bream in a light shio and yuzu broth. This bowl left me feeling light and satisfied all at once. This is unique bowl for in the Los Angeles ramen scene. Give it try when available. 🍜 🍜 If you are concerned about dinning in because of Corona they’ve made their menu available with a QR code so you don’t have to touch any menus and this minimizes interactions with the staff. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #ikiramen #shio #seabream #tai 🍜 🍜 #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
Happy Father’s Day. This is from well before my Happy Father’s Day. This is from well before my ramen obsession began. This is circa ~ 1995 and when I still had that beautiful and full head of hair. #happyfathersday
A new summer special is avaliable that I think you A new summer special is avaliable that I think you should try out. This bowl is served chilled and is perfect for those hot summer days that are upon us. The cold broth is infused with sesame and chili oil that is infused with sansho pepper. This pepper brings a slight numbing sensation to your lips that isn’t overwhelming. This bowl will remind you of the bowls that killer noodle serves up. If heat isn’t your thing, you can request they make it without the chili oil. Check it out folks! 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #dandannoodles #ramentao #coldnoodles 🍜 🍜 #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
I recently had the pleasure of trying another rame I recently had the pleasure of trying another ramen kit creation. This particular kit was an IEKEI style. It came with the broth, noodles, chashu, and bamboo shoots. I had some of my own chashu and eggs laying around so I added them. I was missing some spinach, garlic paste, and chopped onions that I’ve usually seen accompany this style. Even without those toppings, this bowl hit the spot. The broth wasn’t too rich and paired really well with the chewy noodles. Hope to see more of these. 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #foodkit #ramenkit #diyfood #iekei #chashu #takararamen 🍜 🍜 #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

The noodles were thick and chewy and the sauce was pretty spicy. This was perfect for a hot day in LA. The cold noodles were perfectly paired with spice dipping sauce. Adding some rice vinegar and lime juice really took it to the next level. Bravo chef! I can’t wait to see what’s next. 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #nocontact #popup #tsukemen #tantan #foodkit #ramenkit #diyfood 🍜 🍜 #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
It is so exciting to see a new shop opening up as It is so exciting to see a new shop opening up as the lockdown from COVID-19 starts to loosen up. Tomizo is focusing on Hokkaido style miso ramen. On this particular visit I was interested in trying the miso butter corn scallop ramen. This starts off with a miso flavored soup that is topped with scallops, chashu, scallions, bamboo, mushrooms, corn, and lump of butter. Noodles were nice and chewy. I def recommend trying this place. Hopefully, we will be able to dine in next time. I’ll probably try the cheese ramen next time. It’s been years since I’ve had cheese ramen from anywhere. I also love cheese 🙂 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #nocontact #pickup #grandopening #gardena #tomizo #misoramen #buttercorn 🍜 🍜 #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

Delicious smoked shoyu with thick and chewy noodle Delicious smoked shoyu with thick and chewy noodles provided by @darth.gastrameny . It had just a hint of smoke flavor and was slightly sweet.

For the month of May, you can try this unique ging For the month of May, you can try this unique ginger soy sauce ramen. I’ve never had anything like this before. If you are looking for something that is a departure from your regular bowls of ramen this might be for you. It hits you with strong fresh ginger aroma and a slight bitterness to finish it off. Using signature yellow and chewy noodles from their other bowls. 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #ramen4life #eaterLA #dinelLA #yelpLA #LAFood #LATimesFood #ginger #soy #uniqueflavors #takeout 🍜 🍜 #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

“The EAK” from EAK. IEKEI, pronounced E.A.K is “The EAK” from EAK. IEKEI, pronounced E.A.K is one of my favorite styles.
