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 …
What most people come here for is the Okonomiyaki. You can read more about that here. Now, on with the noodles. Don’t confuse this with the spicy tantan ramen, this Hiroshima style TanTanMen is a soupless noodle dish that has various levels of spiciness and contains sansho pepper. You can choose from 1 of 4 …
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 …
Opening this weekend is a new ramen shop on Sawtelle Blvd in West Los Angeles. I had the opportunity to get a preview of their ramen prior to their opening weekend and wasn’t disappointed. Before I get on to the ramen, I think a little background on this places roots are required. It’s named after Miyamoto …

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 …
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 …
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, …

I was particularly interested in their “overload” ramen. It’s comes with …
