    If anyone isn’t from LA just know you should get to Tsujita AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, avoid on Fridays & weekends unless if you want to wait over an hour. Santouka is fairly fast service because it is in a food court, and Daikokuya is good as well, but the wait can be long as well, but you can save a place in line on yelp ahead of time!

He despised the sound very much. One day, a student told the teacher, "You just slurped." "What? No, I did not", "Yes, you did" He was in total denial but after a while he realized that he actually DID slurp when he drank his coffee. The teacher was in shock he could not teach for a while.

    I've tried all 4 of these locations and I'll say props for picking 4 decently good ramen places in LA! I only wish instead of going to Okiboru for tsukemen, they would've gone to the original Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle (instead of Tsujita Annex) for their tsukemen which I feel like is bar none literally the best in LA. I personally wasn't impressed by Okiboru at all! But 100% agree with going to Daikokuya and Santouka. (Also cannot believe the guy said Santouka isn't too salty because it is SO SALTY but that's also why it's so good)

      @xevie37x 2 роки тому +2

      @@iamsamjackson To each their own - I personally don't feel like the tsukemen at Tsujita is too fatty. Ramen broths to me should be fatty and rich, and especially in tsukemen so that the noodles are actually able to pick up the broth. I find that if the broth is not rich or thick enough, dunking my noodles in the broth doesn't amount to much and I might as well just order a regular ramen. I also don't feel that it is one note in flavor. It is one of the more unique ramen broths out there in my opinion. However, I've never had Silverlake ramen's tsukemen so I can't directly compare. Though I have had their classic ramen and was not impressed by the noodles or the broth so never returned though I used to live close by. Perhaps I will try their tsukemen if I'm back in the LA area.

    I went to daikokuya the week after i came back from japan. I was always curious about why there was always a long line. Friends and I finally decided to go. The pork does literally melt in your mouth. the ramen itself though, I felt something was missing. Maybe it was an off day or I had some really high expectations but the ramen isn't as great as it seems like everyone is saying. Friends and I also got the gyoza and takoyaki those were also delicious. Maybe I will go back and try the ramen again.

    All the ramen choices looked amazing. And I know others disagree, but I loved Joe and Sydney as the hosts for this video. They might not know much about ramen but it's a learning process. So what if they messed up a little? I still enjoyed it.
