Suggestions for Noodle Restaurant near Los Angeles

LA Weekly • December 5, 2014Weeknights, Tatsu’s entire menu of inventive ramen styles (consider the Naked Ramen, which arrives with vegan noodles and no broth) is available until 2am and on weekends closing time stretches to 3am

michael d. • October 29, 2019Delicious spicy take on ramen. You can choose how spicy u want it 0 to insane, and dry or with broth. Highly recommend for lovers of spice and spice novices too

Fabian M. • August 20, 2013meet the most friendliest staff! (and great ramen, too!)

Eater • May 9, 2016Simply put, this is the most intense ramen LA has ever seen. The tsukemen is a great choice for starters while the regular ramen bowl packs are garlicky punch.

Eater • January 23, 2018This ramen shop is the best place for Japanese noodles on the Westside. Amp up the flavor with a spice bomb. For something less heavy, opt for the Chuka Soba, a Tokyo-style bowl with a lighter broth.

Dan K. • August 21, 2013My favorite ramen place finally opens up on the west side. Ramen is not the only good thing on the menu. Check out the takoyaki and cutlet rice bowls!

Tiffany P. • April 22, 2014Press fresh garlic into your ramen. Makes it even MORE awesome. The red, bold, and soul ramens are all excellent.

Chloe W. • June 23, 2014You really can't go wrong at this place. Go with a small party at lunch or get there at 5 or it'll take awhile for you to get a table.

Mariana A. • January 17, 2013Just get the spicy ramen!!! Specially if it's cold outside!

Simple F. • October 13, 2013Tsukemen is the way to go.

Galo C. • March 2, 2013The Hot Pot Pork is to die for. Must have the Pan Fried Dumplings. Their Dolsot Bibimbap is also a great dish to have and of course their handmade noodle soups

Erika R. • July 2, 2016Fresh, healthy food and clean atmosphere. Get the animal fries!

Opportunity Green • September 16, 2010Love Vietnamese food? We recommend this adorable spot, where you can enjoy fresh cuisine at one of the only outdoor patios in downtown LA. The fresh coconut water is a great complement to any meal.

Vic Z. • May 8, 2022First timers definitely get the Lei Ramen. Salads also great.

Nouf V. • October 25, 2012Bbq Pork Spring Rolls are a must on the side of a large bowl of their rare steak pho along with a thai tea to wash everything down.

Connie C. • November 9, 2019One of new favorite spots. Immensely delicious and humble. The sashimi is amazingly buttery. The hot soba is perfect, especially the sansai. Feels like home here.

Aya M. • July 22, 2018If it’s your first time, I recommend getting the Daikoku Ramen with kotteri.

Richard • June 28, 2021Ramen and tsukemen!

Slayphanie • September 4, 2014Wow believe the hype about this place, the sho-yo is on point, they give you so much garlic it's fabulous AND the chili paste is actually spicy and delicious. Broth is rich and flavorful. I'm in love.

Jenny K. • September 9, 2021Delicious—especially the beef noodle soup. Didn’t love the lobster fried rice though (scorched). Great service.

Enrique B. • September 22, 2017The place is packed. At dinner time you have to wait 15 min to get a seat. The food is totally worth it. Get the shrimp spring rolls! The noodle plates are delicious.

Ce M. • January 2, 2016Best kept secret in town. Rich with history and authentic noodles from the motherland.

Vincent H. • August 22, 2011Get the Vegetarian pho (#14) and add beef. Best combo of veggies and meat!

Lilia • October 29, 2012Hot Udon and soba both very good. Simple and tasty.

Sam L. • September 1, 2021I enjoy their chicken ramen selections. Spicy tan tan ramen and spicy black ramen are delicious! Sushi is good as well, especially for the price. Highly recommend giving Onkei a try if in Westwood!

Jennifer M. • November 7, 2010#12. Do it.

Jory F. • January 2, 2021Lime-aid (hot)

Catherine C. • March 23, 2016The Special with tendon and tripe!
