Ramen Nagi is a Tokyo-based chain with a 24-hour-simmered tonkotsu broth that draws big lines at Westfield Century City Mall. Expect to wait about 45 minutes for your table during peak times, but rest assured these ramen bowls are worth it. The tonkotsu is silky and rich without coating your mouth with fat, and the pork belly they use as a topping is a little sweet and meltingly tender. Their standard Spice Level 1 isn’t very spicy, but you can crank up the heat or make other adjustments in noodle thickness, broth richness, and how much garlic you’re craving that day. Once you sit down, Ramen Nagi cranks out your order incredibly fast, making up for that hour you spent playing Candy Crush in line.

Review

The specialty at this Tokyo-based ramen chain is yuzu shio—a light, acidic broth that’s unlike any version that’s ever made its way to LA.

Review

Shin-Sen-Gumi is a build-your-own ramen concept that actually isn’t that gimmicky.

Review

Daikyokuya is one of LA's best ramen spots, and the Sunset location is a great place to eat an affordable dinner in West Hollywood.
