While I do have a favorite style, what I really love and appreciate about ramen is all of the variety that is available. The broths can be based off pork, chicken, soy, or salt bases. The noodles can be thin, thick, round, flat, straight, or curley. Toppings can be endless. This adds up to a …
After a studio tour at near by Paramount Studios, I decided to take my Dad to Iki Ramen. Iki happens to be just a few minutes south of the studio. I’ve been to this shop previously and written about it here. I can tell that the owner really cares about producing quality bowls of ramen. …
On a recent weekend trip to Seattle I checked out this place. They have a pretty expansive menu and you should be able to find a style of ramen that fits your mood. This occasion, I was looking forward to trying the Yuzu Shio. Yuzo is a Japanese citrus. It’s a little rare to see …

This place recently opened and I have to thank my wife for this find. She discovered it randomly on one of the blogs that she occasionally reads. It’s got a quiet and modern feel to it. We sat at the counter which felt really spacious. Everyone that served us was friendly. The view from outside …
Just down the street from LAX, there is this little gem. This is one of the options that would be great if you want something to eat before or after your flight. Ramen Joint is another good choice near LAX. Kanpai is not a dedicated ramen shop. It’s a full scale Japanese restaurant that serves …
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 …
