    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

    I'm usually a tonkotsu (pork soup) ramen guy but this place makes a great chicken soup (cheeky ramen). I dig the naked "ramen" but it's really all about the soup they work so hard to make.

    The Bold Ramen is absolutely delicious. That with a ramen burger would be great to split for 2! And if you've never a ramen burger, this is among the best!

    The best ramen, only downside is the way you order is cool but annoying, and if it's busy expect to wait awhile.

    It's not the cheapest but it's most definitely the best in Hollywood. The decor, service and menu are well worth the few extra bucks. Try the Bold with an extra egg.

    The hippie ramen is a pleasant surprise! Very savory and rich without being too heavy. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients too.

    Hands down, the best ramen burger ever made. Even better than the original out of NYC. Less ramen bun, more patty and perfect sauce combo. 😊

    Order the Bold Ramen and indulge in some rich broth and charred chicken. The soft boiled egg is an amazing bonus.

    Cheeky Ramen! If you’re like me and can’t do spicy dishes, the Cheeky Ramen is a great choice. The Bold Ramen is amazing too!

    Damn. Best bowl I've had in LA. The chashu was tender like woah, and the broth was on point. Get the bold and have fun.

    You place your order via iPads, which is pretty awesome to begin with. The bold ramen was very flavorful and the shoyu egg was perfectly cooked.

    Tatsu is a great "mainstream" ramen option. Always consistent, always perfectly spicy, and this location has plenty of space and free wifi!

    Great vegetarian options! Great for late night take out, restaurant was still booming at 1:30AM!

    The ramen was tasty, especially for veggie ramen/broth. The vibe is a little frantic. Feels kinda like chipotle for ramen (but with way better food).

    Great ramen. They're also proudly developing AI for skynet. (That will make sense when you place your order)

    The wait is ridiculous. Just order online and go pick it up. They'll let you know when it's ready. The pork buns are pretty good though. Be sure to eat it while it's hot!

    I liked the soul ramen the best, with an egg. Add some crushed garlic and corn and don't forget to tip.

    Best ramen I've had in my life so far. You'll be painfully full, but get the pork bun anyway.

    The bowls are all great. Haven't tried the Hippie. The Ramen burger is a $7 side but worth every penny! It's amazing!!

    Hearty old-school tsukemen ramen, but be prepared for a long wait.

    Solid ramen and open late, but the burger is the best thing on the menu. Fun spot

    Go Bold on the Ramen. Love that you order at the door on an iPad. Pay with card at the iPad as service is a little slow.

    Free 1 hour parking in the back! Make sure to add corn to your ramen, it's free!

    GREAT food, bad wait. Sparse seating & poor layout that squashes everyone who's waiting together. Order system is hard to find (pads on wall), card swipe barely works. But the FOOD! Order it takeout!

    The iPad ordering is neat, but no technology can save the (horribly dry) pork bun. Stick to the ramen and make sure you request some extra garlic.
