Hau T.Hau Tran: Chashu is fantastic here, the best of any ramen place I've had yet (incl Shinsengumi, Santouka, Yamadaya). I like tsukemen at Yamada-ya better though.

EaterEater: Tsujita LA serves the best standard ramen and tsukemen in all of Los Angeles. The tsukemen might even be better than the ramen. Only available during lunch and cash only. [Eater 38 Member]

Justin O.Justin Ordoveza: The wait for a seat can be killer. The tsukemen is fantastic the noodles are nice and chewy and the pork is so rich and fatty. Great combo and different than your typical ramen house.
