The ramen was great! Portions were good, broth was nice, noodles were cooked well. Toppings, however, are limited to only 3. I got the curry ramen which was different but unique. Also got garlic edamame…for the price it was a small portion but tasted great.
The service was fast. You order through tablets outside or inside. Reminiscent of Japan.
There’s bar seating and a couple booths inside with additional seating outside. The space is very cozy and welcoming. Downside is parking. Its only street parking or if youre lucky the lot across the street.

TL:DR – Top Tonkotsu Ramen Shop in LA, that looks, feels, and tastes like a proper no frills ramen-ya. It’s a must try if you like thick and rich tonkotsu broth.
I’ve been up and down Sawtelle, around Little Tokyo, and through the Westside, and I can confidently say it’s one of the top ramen spots for tonkotsu ramen in Los Angeles.
Broth temperature was spot on. Perfect for slurping; not too hot to burn you, but not cool enough to go cold before you finish the bowl.
The mouth feel of the broth was very good and coated the noodles, and your mouth, with a viscosity somewhere around 5-7% brix.
Soy tare was well seasoned and slightly sweet which nicely balanced out the broth.
The tender charshu was cut at about 1/4″ thickness, and had a balanced smoky flavor.
Noodles were medium well, slightly softer than al dente, with the classic wavy texture, but also thicker than what is usually served with tonkotsu broth. Noodle color was lighter in color compared to the classic alkaline wavy noodle with a cleaner “fresh noodle” taste.
We had lunch on a Thursday around 3pm, and the restaurant was empty. Service was sparse with one person, possibly the owner, but considerate and to the point. Perfect for what I’m wanting out of a quick bowl of ramen during lunch.
Overall, the entire bowl with all its ingredients was well balanced. The food came out quick and hot, which sadly to say, doesn’t seem to happen very often at all the other “ramen” shops in LA.

Amazing ramen. I love how the ordering and seating is similar to Japan.
They have some tvs inside so it can be a great place to eat and watch a game.

Wow, what a wonderful gem.
The broth is so delicious, the pork unbelievable, noodle are perfectly chewy. So good! The guy running the joint is super nice too.
Spice levels are white boy spicy, so go deep if you like spice. Like 50% or higher.

Laid back spot for ramen. Vegan ramen is super flavorful and has 2 fried tofu chicken in it which are also very good. You can get regular or spicy and adjust the spicy level.
Ordering is on a kiosk and you can sit outside or inside.

This place serves probably the best tasting spicy ramen I have ever had . Customer service is efficient, our food was served in 5 minutes. The restroom was clean. However, the place can get crowded very quickly because of how small the restaurant is and parking can be quite challenging (street parking only).
Food (there is a reasonable amount of selection, but we only tried 1 dish:
– Spicy Miso Ramen (10/10): Like I mentioned earlier. This is probably the best spicy ramen I have ever tasted. Wow, the broth is savory and addicting, I actually finished my ramen down to the last drop of the broth ! Noodles were mildly chewy and tasted awesome! Their chasiu had very little fats, which was great! Finally, the portion served was very generous!
Overall, I love the ramen here , the only I wish was better was the parking!
TIPS: If you want iced water, you could do self service. it’ll be to your right when you enter.

No joke, the best ramen in LA. It’s not that fancy expensive ramen that you over pay for. This is real deal, absolutely delicious, true love for ramen – ramen.
Small intimate spot where you can see the chef putting intense attention into every bowl. You can tell he loves his craft, and hot dang, you can taste it.

I really loved this place! A little bit on the pricey side of ramen, but definitely worth it for the price! I don’t usually go for tonkotsu ramen, but this actually tasted like a ramen place in Japan. In reminded me of the food I had there years ago! Ordering outside also reminded me of ordering food in japan and it even hands you a “ticket” (your receipt) like as if you were getting a food ticket in Japan! Absolutely love! The service was really great with it being relatively quick and very nice. I will definitely be coming back more times and even want to try their $30 Kotoya Ramen! There was not a lot of parking available for its patrons with only parking in the neighborhood or street parking on a fairly busy street, but for a weekend lunch, it was fairly easy to get a street parking.

Absolutely amazing food!!! Vegan ramen is so on point and I finished my veeeery generous portion for the 1st time ever. We had also Tonkatsu ramen, tofu bites and edamame with garlic and they were super delicious. This is my favourite ramen place in town. If you want gooooood food come here- I promise you!

Delicious spicy broth ramen. Very small seating only about 13 seats total.
Order via iPad outside or inside.
Pretty quick delivery of food.
Would be nice if the egg was soft boiled and some more toppings included for the price we paid.
Pretty good bowl of ramen!
