Tonchin LA is a popular ramen spot that offers delicious and authentic Japanese dishes. Their Tokyo Rich Tsukemen is a standout, featuring noodles made in collaboration with Shimamoto Noodle Inc. The tonkotsu gyokai broth is rich and savory, making it one of the better tsukemen options in Southern California. The Smoked Dashi Ramen is another unique choice, though the broth becomes fishier as you eat. The restaurant has a modern decor and a great location, with dimly-lit, medium-spaced tables. It offers an abundance of toppings and good service, though it can get busy and overwhelmed at times. Parking on the street can be limited but is manageable. The menu includes not just ramen but also gyoza and self-made hand rolls, which are highly praised. While prices are a bit higher, the relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff make it a good place to enjoy a quality meal. The restaurant is accommodating to kids and provides a pleasant dining experience, especially if visitors are willing to spend a little extra for comfort and great service.
