Excellent food Chef job well done keep up the good work love your preparation rocky from the way you ate tells me you enjoyed every thing thanks for sharing my friend ❣️
Oh wow I can’t believe the care that is taken to make sure each and every bowl of ramen is 110% to their satisfaction! So awesome , I respect these ramen restaurant so much for doing that and the bowls of ramen look magnificent.
My brother got me into ramen decades ago after seeing the movie, Tampopo. We ate at an eatery surprisingly named Tampopo around Torrance. It's interesting to see the evolution of ramen: something dishes are still traditional and other dishes are almost fusion.
Tsujita LA is my all time favorite ramen shop. Tonkotsu is my favorite. Tsukemem was too much work and not enough soup for my preference. Their annex is not as good to me as it seemed like the bean sprouts were the focal point - it was more than a fistful.
Sorry don’t want to cause drama but just clarifying; There is a dish called Champon (ちゃんぽん) which is from Nagasaki, and Jjampong (짬뽕) which is from Korea. Both loosely based on Chinese cuisine and use pork in common. Both exist in LA but of course much easier to find Korean Jjampong. Steve, please consider checking out Peking Gourmet in Garden Grove. Extensive menu, great food, and they do *all* of the Korean Chinese variations. My family has been going there for 30 years, and I believe same owners for around that amount of time also.
Tsujita Ramen Annex is legitimate "liquid pork chop" as my friend would say Even an avid ramen eat like myself once was enough for me as 1 bowl could probably run a diesel truck LOL
@@Ehawkjj2 wasn't that like with validation only?? I personally prefer restaurants either with parking lot or with valet, I rarely go to sawtelle because of that even I live in southbay! Haven't been since Kimukatsu closed.
