Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle Annex

Favorite tsukemen place in LA for the sour pork broth. Hasn’t declined since coming here 2017 so very happy they are still around and I think it says a lot when there are solo eaters at the bar

Big portions, not too salty, well cooked noodles, love the egg and bean sprouts

I used to come here often for meals starting eight years ago, but it’s been almost a year since I moved, and now the dipping noodles seem to have lost its soul. I’m not sure if the ingredients changed or if the Japanese chef was replaced by Mexican chef. Either way, the flavor of the noodles just isn’t right anymore. And the menu is different too. I used to crave the dipping noodle after a few weeks without, but now, after this meal, I feel like I probably won’t be coming back.

TLDR: pick up order took 1 hour, then packaging tore so had to throw everything away.
I waited for an hour and 15 minutes for my food!! I ended up getting my order at 12:40.
I ordered about an hour ahead because I wanted to quickly pick up then go run an errand. I also used their preferred ordering ahead method (Toast). When I got here, the staff had no clue I placed the order. They all looked confused and told me they would start my order now. I ended up having to wait here for another 15 minutes for them to make from scratch. and I was in a real hurry to my errand. Absolute nightmare. How can you as a restaurant not know you have a pickup order??!
Update: lids weren’t properly closed. Soup spilled and the whole bag tore down. Noodles spilled when the bag fell apart. The pic is already after I cleaned. Had to throw everything away without a single bite. A horrible experience.

The noodle place to visit if you're into thick noodles like I am! I had the chasu tsukumen and the soup was just filled to the brim with broth, fat, chasu, and bean sprouts. A little bit of broth goes a long way. Both my partner and I are big foodies but neither of us could finish our bowls with their generous servings. Highly recommend to visit if you love thick noodles ?

I’ve been here many times and I love both the ramen and noodles here. The place smells like pork broth so that’s normal. Their broths is what makes this place amazing. They are extremely rich and fatty so if ur watching your calories and cholesterol then this place is not for you. The broth is full of extreme rich flavor of saltiness and garlic and it will enlighten your taste buds. The noodles are thick and chewy and firm. The pork is rich and fatty just like eating carnitas. It took me 2 tries to acquire the taste of their broth when I first came because they are different from your traditional noodles. When it comes to noodles tsujita is my 1st choice

favorite place in LA!!! Waiters are friendly and the tsukemen is my favorite. I always add extra vinegar and garlic that’s provided on the side.

Best ramen I have had in years! I ordered the vegan ramen. Noodles were thick and broth was so flavorful.

My impressions are really controversial. First of all, I want to start with good things:
- broth and beef are really good, extremely tasty;
- workers are friendly.
That’s it. Now about bad things (and it’s just only my subjective opinion):
- noodles are too thick and when you dip them in a broth and eat you feel a taste of dough and chew them hard;
- broth is tasty but it’s not that kind of broth you can eat with spoon, it’s too strong, you can only dip noodles in it;
- atmosphere is horrible, this place needs more space, it’s difficult to move between tables, almost impossible;
- this restaurant looks a bit cheap with plastic cups, disposable chopsticks and wobbly chairs. The restroom inside is horrible and dirty, there was a ladder near the toilet and I don’t know why;
- the waiter confused our order, and when we said that she said we need to go outside and wait again until they call us, it pissed us off because we already were waiting for a long time outside.

So, this place can be good just for one visit. I hope you will have better experience here

The food is nothing special. Had better ramen elsewhere. The whole bowl has this weird monotone taste. I didn't like the deluxe nor the dry noodle. Won't return nor recommend to anyone.

Outstanding place to eat. Food was great. Only problem is that everyone else thinks so too, and we had a short wait to be seated. But we have become a regular customer.
