Larisa Grollemond: The best. Spice level 3 is plenty and get it with soup and extra pork. No reservations and cash only.
Jeff Solomon: Get the Tokyo, level 3 spice, with the egg, cilantro and pork belly and you will not be disappointed
Abbey Keck: The pork bun was great. The side of spicy chicken was cold and definitely spicy, but good.

zgrat: The red miso and the soul ramen are amazing.
Michael: Free 1 hour parking in the back! Make sure to add corn to your ramen, it's free!
LA Weekly: Weeknights, Tatsu’s entire menu of inventive ramen styles (consider the Naked Ramen, which arrives with vegan noodles and no broth) is available until 2am and on weekends closing time stretches to 3am Read more.
JenM: Excellent ramen - they take spicy seriously, but it's delicious. Lots of flavor, not salty, perfect noodles. Really nice people - hidden gem!
Kenji Justin: You MUST try their spicy ramen. The noodles are prefect: not too hard, not too soft. The broth is so tasty, not watery, not too salty either. And their chashu has a nice browning. Best ramen in LA!
Dan Leveille: Try the Kimchi Fried Rice! Delicious! It comes topped with an egg and melted mozzarella cheese.

Kaitlin Juarez: Get the ramen. 🍜
Starry Kitchen: Solid menu replica of the Lil Tokyo staple with a couple of new dishes, but the REAL REASON to go here: 1 of the most immersive spaces in LA. Makes ya feel like yer in the small streets o' Japan y'all

Dino Cruz: Everything is good here. But I wholeheartedly recommend the Spicy Tonkatsu. Yummm...
Rick Gerber: OMG! The Ramon here is perfection! Noodles have a great taste and texture, broth is creamy (without any cream), and the marinated hard boiled egg is to die for. We'll back again for sure!
Brad Crowell: Bomb ramen.
