Tatsu Ramen

Tatsu still ranks in my top five ramen restaurants in the Los Angeles area. When I first moved here, trying to get a seat in the area was a task in itself. Time passes, and there is much more competition in the ramen world now than in years gone by. Even so, tatsu remains relevant in the conversation of great Ramen spots to eat at. They have a nice variety of dishes. There is plenty of ramen to enjoy. I recommend the Bold ramen the most. Plus, there are also vegetarian options available if you desire something less heavy. Give it a try, and don't forget to slurp loudly! As a side note, the Melrose location serves katsu fried sandwiches. It's the only location to have that honor. You can choose chicken, pork, or egg. Lightly breaded and served between Japanese milk bread. It's a nice tasty treat!

This Ramen was bursting with flavors! The wrap was good but fell apart immediately and was difficult to eat. The spice and flavor were balanced very well. I ate all of mine and I usually leave some of the broth but not this time. Nice portions of meat don’t forget to add the seasoned egg!! Will definitely come back for more!!

So after a year of living in this area and trying at least a dozen ramen places around LA, this one is my favorite. The noddles Chasu, broth, and Woodear mushrooms are on point. But the reason why it’s my favorite and why I’ve now gone to this place a second time is the special cane sugar soda they have on fountain refills. Few ramen places have fountain soda, but this place has a special sugar cane brand. It’s incredible.
