"A bowl of ramen is a self-contained universe with life from the sea, the mountains, and the earth. All existing in perfect harmony. Harmony is essential. What holds it all together is the broth. The broth gives life to the ramen."
This would be my fifth visit to this place, it was 2:30pm in Friday, and there were still a line! Waiting was like 20 minutes isn't too bad but is surprising. I'll bring my out of country relatives here, which they never try ramen in a restaurant before. There were none in their country. This was pretty good place for first timer eating ramen, décor is old school and definite felt like a typical ramen shop in Japan. Too bad is bit too small, so if you have a big group it will require very long wait almost all the time. The service was a bit chaotic, it seem they are understaff.
After been eating those egg flavor ramen noodle from other shop is hard to go back to this style. After trying their koterri broth is hard to go back to the regular one, with added back-fats and slight more flavor, the broth tasted a bit like soy sauce and very salty which I couldn't finish it. The Chashu was still one of the best in the business, so is their marinated egg.
Despite some short coming, this still is the best ramen shop in little Tokyo with sligth edge of other location, not the best in L.A. but still damn good!
