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.

This is the kind of food that makes you stop multitasking and relish it til the last drop, then sit back and bask in it. It cured my cold, aligned my chakras, and saved my marriage. The pork is perfect and the egg is a religious experience. My only regret is that I didn't know about this place sooner.

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.

Something here reminds me of the old school ramen places on Sawtelle, even though this place is not on Sawtelle. The loads of toppings, the style of the noodles, the whole execution feels very familiar.

Outdoor seating is a little patio with a high top and wood tones, and a touch screen outside to order and pay. Given it's right off the street it could be noisy, but wasn't too bad this most recent visit.

It's a solid ramen but not as fashionable or hip as the newer places, with a fairly rich (but not excessively so) broth. Hint: if you want tons of ginger, this is not the place for you.

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.

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.

As a Japanese person, I can definitely recommend this place! The ramen is not greasy and this was one of the few time where I did not feel like my stomach was taking a hit. Great staff, great price, great atmosphere and easy in easy out.
