This tiny noodle shop specializes in Japanese curry ramen - something you can’t find on Sawtelle or really anywhere in LA - and it’s the best bowl of soup we've had in recent memory. The broth is a rich blend of earthy curry and salty chicken stock that’s topped with a slice of braised pork chashu and fresh, crunchy bean sprouts and green onions. When it all comes together with the chewy noodles down below, it’s a delicious, expertly-made bowl of soup that I’ll be eating any day when May Gray and June Gloom threaten to ruin our summer energy. Be sure to also try the equally-flavorful Keema, a dry curry noodle that comes topped with pico de gallo, corn, and shredded chili peppers.

Review

Tatsu is the future not just because of its iPad wall waiters. It’s the future because it’s quick and easy, and downright delicious.

Review

Sawtelle’s Tsujita does the best tsukemen-style ramen this side of the Pacific and some of the best overall ramen in Los Angeles.

Review

Daikokuya’s Sawtelle location pretty much always has a line, but the wait for their excellent ramen is worth it.
