“The OG Tatsu location and still the best. The broth is one of the best in town, so good you could enjoy it on its own. Kiosk ordering makes the process quick and painless.”

“The Hippie Ramen with its rich vegan broth and fresh toppings complemented by the miso egg is incredible. This is my personal favorite among all the ramen spots on Sawtelle.”

“Right in the heart of Little Osaka, this is where it all started. The 18-hour tonkotsu broth is unmatched and the noodles are cooked perfectly al dente. The slatted wood interior feels authentic.”

“Best ramen on Sawtelle, no contest. The perfectly textured noodles and deeply flavored broths, plus the freshly grated garlic and ground sesame seeds, make this place amazing.”

“Great spot near UCLA and we come here after every finals week. The Naked Ramen is unique, no broth but packed with flavor. Squeeze that lime and thank me later. Bold Ramen bowls are out of this world.”

“The late-night hours are a lifesaver on the Westside. Came in at midnight and the ramen was just as perfect as during peak hours. The pork chashu is simmered to perfection with the right amount of salt and umami.”

“The Bold Ramen and pork bun combo is the best thing on the menu. The pork bun might be the best I have ever had. This place is small and always packed, which tells you everything.”

“Tatsu can accommodate vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers all under one roof. The broth was the best I have ever had, so good I could easily enjoy it on its own. All dogs welcome is a nice touch.”
