I’m really a big fan of miso and tonkotsu based broths. For me I’m usually looking something that is rich and flavorful. I think miso and tonkostsu cover both of those requirements. On this particular visit I was interested in trying something that I normally don’t order. I went with the shio ramen and wasn’t …
When you think of south Florida the humidity, South Beach, Cuban food, and hurricanes. Ramen is probably not what you think of. But, on a recent trip to Miami I discovered a place in Coral Gables that has hit the mark on some seafood ramen. When I first looked at the menu the most expensive …
One reason to love a ramen shop is when they give you a piece of paper so that you can customize your ramen order. For example, you can specify how you want your noodles cooked, hard or soft. Broth, light or normal, etc. This is one of the reasons that I love the Hakata Ikkousha …
I thought it would be a good idea to revisit my recent experiences with ramen in the Los Angeles area and highlight some bowls that are unique. The following bowls are something out of the ordinary that I recommend trying. Tsukemen at Tsujita Noodle Annex Cilantro ramen at Jinya Ramen Bar The Jiro …
This place is doing something very unique. See, most people are accustomed to broth that is based on pork in the US. But here, they are doing their broth with lots of vegetables and olive oil.

Parking in the street is a challenge. Especially at peak times. Pro tip, park at the parking garage for Michaels craft store. It’s just south of all the action, it’s free, and should save you the hassle of trying to find street parking. Or you can just Uber to that area. On the Web @ http://tsujita-la.com/menu-annex.htm …
I love Venice Ramen. I’ve been here several times and it never fails. Their broth is amazing. One of my sources tells me that they are one of the few places in the area that do their own broth from scratch. It shows. I wish cooked their eggs soft or medium. But that’s really the …
This place is always busy, but I’ve never had to wait very long to sit and order. They cook their pork broth for 20 hours, which explains why it’s so delicious. Yamadaya has several locations, each doing a little different ramen. Previously, I reviewed their “Factory” store in Torrance. The first time I came here …
