1. Santouka
Mmm.
Mmmmmmm.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Gimme more!
I'm by no means a ramen connoisseur. But the broth was just so sooo delicious! I was submerged in warmth and happiness.
Ahhh *smacks lips*.
The noodles were good. But it was the soybean paste broth that blew me…More »
2. Ramen Dojo
Mmmmm...Ramen Dojo. Having been on a ramen craze, this place was a breath of fresh air.
3 broths to choose from: spicy soy sauce, spicy miso & spicy bitter pork. I gravitated toward the spicy bitter pork, but not without asking for clarification. The…More »
3. Benkei Ramen
Before I begin I just want to say: I didn't know about Kintaro until after my trip. So if you know what I'm talking about, please don't get on my case. And if you don't, please just ignore this spheel. =D
Benkei is ramen chain located in Vancouver.…More »

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
We can see Daikokuya from our hotel window. So after eyeing the place for the whole weekend, we made our way across the street for some ramen. We waited a bit since they open at noon on Sundays. But once the doors opened, the place filled up quickly.…More »

This 3-star review is for the Katana-Ya. Not the place, but the ramen which is named Katana-Ya...
I decided to shell out that extra $4 for the Katana-Ya since it looked really good last time. It arrived in the same size bowl as the other ramens and…More »

Neighbourhood: International District
Samurai Noodle. The elusive destination we had our hearts set on.
Our local friend told us that the International District location is the best. But from day one, our attempts to go there have failed. We were either too early, too late, or the…More »

Slow Cooked Pork Ramen
The braised pork shoulder was simply delicious. Flavorful and tender. The use of seasonal vegetables was interesting, but I appreciated the fresh ingredients.
But for $9, the ramen bowl was not close to filling. The noodles were…More »

Japanese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Despite average reviews, I was intrigued by their soy milk ramen.
My friend and I managed to grab the last available table before the lunch rush. There was a line the entire time we were eating. The place was indeed small, but it did not feel…More »
10. Santa Ramen
Haha. I hope you guys don't defriend me after this review.
Since Ramen Dojo opened up, it was only right to try Santa Ramen first. My friends love this place, so I was super excited as usual. But my experience was only mediocre.
Miso broth ramen (…More »
11. Orochon Ramen
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
Seems like Orochon Ramen has taken over all the business in this plaza. The restaurant is swarming with people. Luckily, they have a quick turnover so the wait was not long at all.
For those who didn't know, Orochon Ramen is famous for their spicy…More »

There's always a line here. My cousin already told me their ramen is not that great. Still, I dragged her along just so I can try it for myself. Should've listened.
Prices are around $7-9 per bowl. Small portions.
On their menu, they had "HAND-MADE…More »

The ramen here is a crime.
I noticed the new ramen menu by the bar and thought to give it a try. Shame on me!
My tonkatsu ramen broth was watered down like no other. It was water plus a hint of pork flavor MSG. The noodles were basically instant…More »

My ramen buddy Allen took me here for lunch after discovering that I've never been.
We both got the lunch special: chasu ramen and a side of chicken karage. And shared a seafood okonomiyaki. The chasu ramen was pretty standard with the broth was…More »
