Men Oh Tokushima Ramen



Some called Men Oh Tokushima Ramen is the new Ramen King in Little Tokyo, I doubt this is  true, but I gave this a try anyway. 

Came in a weekday lunch time at noon, there were a line if you want tablets, but there were seating in the bars. The only TV in the restaurant also located there which also showing sport channel, included the Lakers game.  Serve was excellent, friendly staff however they speak mostly English. 

Their most popular dish is no doubt the Tokushima Ramen $8.95  

The Broth
- Soy sauce based at top with the pork bone base is a very strong flavor, more than what I like. 

The Noodle
- Similar to the Hakata Ramen, not as tasty as the Daikokuya one which is more chewy. 

Butabara Pork Belly and Chashu
- Typical yummy Chashu plus their the added big bonus tender pork belly which is standout from other place. 

Boiled Egg 
- The boiled egg was very good, on par with DK except is half of the egg.

Tips: 
- Aware that the price on the website is only for the bay area, different from the this location. 
- They do not serve raw egg in the ramen at this location. 
- Parking in the plaza can cost like $4 for 2 hours.

Daikokuya is still the Ramen King in this location.  But those who like Hakata ramen should definite gave this place a try, since it taste very similar except with added pork belly.  Hakata ramen gave you validating parking and is like $2 cheaper but with no egg or pork belly is a trade off.
