Tatsu Ramen Sawtelle sits in the heart of Sawtelle Japantown—steps from Nijiya Market and a short walk from UCLA. Our 18-hour tonkotsu broth, custom iPad ordering and vegan “Hippie Ramen” make us a top choice for diners craving late-night ramen (open until 1 AM Sun–Thu, 2 AM Fri–Sat). Metered street parking and paid garages are nearby; see our Parking Guide for tips.
It’s not just about the broth; it’s about the whole experience. That’s why we’re here in West LA serving up the best Tonkotsu Ramen in Sawtelle, with plenty of options to customize your bowl just the way you like it.
You can customize your ramen at Sawtelle by choosing the type of broth and toppings. We’ve got bold bowls like our Bold Ramen—a slow-cooked Tonkotsu (pork) broth finished with a perfect blend of 11 bold ingredients—or traditional bowls like our Best Tonkotsu Ramen in Sawtelle, West Los Angeles, which features thin noodles served with Tatsu Egg, scallions and fried onions.
