Sankouka started in the early 80’s with their shio ramen. The owner is once quoted in the beginning as saying “I’m going to make delicious ramen”. And to this day, you can tell they put love and respect into their ramen. This early attitude can be attributed to their ramen dominance. Santouka has locations all …
This shops signature is the tsukemen. Pronounced “Ski – Men” and it’s dipping noodles, rather than noodles served in the broth. You can check out a previous post on it here. On this visit however, I wanted to try something different. I went with their negi ramen. It’s their traditional tonkotsu style pork broth with …
Tatsunoya has recently opened their second location. More conveniently located for those of us on the west side of Los Angeles. But it’s not too far from their original location in downtown Pasadena. They’ve keeped their menu simple and their store small. I think that’s a smart move for them. Focus on the menu and …

This location is in the Little Tokyo area of Downtown. This place has never let me down. I’ve been to all their locations. They …

According to the guys that were sitting next to us, the Italian restaurant was always busy and they couldn’t understand the change over. While we were …
They had a soft opening this week, and I decided to head over right after work. I got their signature ramen, aka “The Classic” tonkotsu. The broth is a little lighter pork than I’m used to. The egg was perfect. Came with plenty of thin hard noodles. They use a lot of spinach in the …
Ippudo is bringing the hakata style ramen to San Francisco. I love this style. This style is a creamy and almost frothy rich pork broth paired with thin and hard noodles. I’m anticipating their Santa Monica location opening soon. I already checked it out and I think it should be getting close to opening. Since …
Ramen Nagi is a new comer to the Palo Alto Area. Opening a few weeks ago, the chain is bringing some much needed ramen to Sillicon Valley. I showed up on a Monday at lunch time and there was already a line of ramen enthusiast waiting to get in. They give you an order sheet …
