I love this place. I’ve had the mazemen special and the tonkotsu. But, this was the first time I had this particular bowl and I found it to be really bland. The broth lacked flavor even when I added the garlic chips. I was able to capture a great noodle shot. …
This is my third visit to Killer Noodle. You can read my previous reviews here and here. I went with Original Style this time. I picked spicy level 3 and added poached egg, pork, and cilantro. This style is different from the Downtown or Tokyo styles they offer. This one doesn’t have the peanut butter or …
I was craving a bowl of miso this weekend and figured I would check this place out. It’s located near several other quality shops that I’ve written about here and here. This miso was great. It was a bit sweeter than I’m used to. I think that’s from the all vegan broth that would be …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Fantastic. Just fantastic ramen here. This is one of the few spots in LA that I know do their broth from scratch. That explains so much. If you aren’t starting with a strong broth, it doesn’t matter how good your noodles are or what toppings you add. Broth is the base and it’s gotta be …
The Tsujita family dominates Sawtelle blvd in West Lost Angeles. They are behind 3 separate noodle establishments on this street alone. Each, with it’s own unique focus. For me, the Annex sticks out with their tsukemen. They are using thick noodles and fatty pork bone broth. If you like rich and fatty broths, I recommend …
If you are craving cuisine from Japan, Torrance should be high on your lists of places to visit. There is a very large Japanese community and naturally the quality cuisine follows. Ikkousha is known for their pork broth. In fact, they have won numerous awards as evidenced when you walk through the door. Their broth …
I love this place. It’s a place that I’ve been to most frequently at this point. It’s right down the street from LAX. If you are heading to or from the airport for a flight, this could be a good pre or post flight option for you. It’s a small place, they don’t serve beer, …
