Ramen Made with Soul
At Tatsu Ramen, every bowl tells a story. Our ramen menu features six signature bowls, each built on broths that are slow-cooked for hours using whole pork bones, whole chickens, and fresh vegetables. From the rich, bold depth of our Tonkotsu to the clean, creamy finish of the Cheeky chicken broth, each spoonful delivers layers of carefully developed flavor that cannot be rushed or replicated with shortcuts.
Customization is at the heart of the Tatsu experience. Choose your preferred noodle type, spice level, richness, and toppings to build a bowl that is uniquely yours. Add extra proteins like our melt-in-your-mouth pork belly chashu, tender marinated chicken, or organic non-GMO tofu. Top it off with a Tatsu Egg, woodear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, or any of our seventeen add-on options.
We are committed to serving guests with dietary needs. Our Hippie Ramen is a fully vegan bowl crafted with a plant-based broth, scallion oil, and fresh spinach. We also offer certified gluten-free noodles that have been lab-tested, vegan curly noodles, and vegetarian options like the Naked Ramen. Simply ask our team to help you customize any bowl to fit your dietary preferences.
Beyond our ramen bowls, the menu includes Japanese rice dishes, steamed buns filled with juicy pork or chicken, garlic and spicy edamame, and a curated selection of Japanese beverages including Ramune marble sodas, sparkling yuzu soda, and brewed ice green tea. Visit us at any of our four Los Angeles locations in Sawtelle, Melrose, Downtown LA, and Pasadena to experience ramen with a soul.
