Tsujita LA Artisan Noodles

Visited the place for the first time to have lunch with friends on a Saturday. Place is small so there is a little bit of a wait, but no problem. I love noodles, however, I do not eat pork, so for me it was an issue that this place did not offer options of bowls with other kind of protein or won’t even allow you to replace the protein. I had to order the tonkotsu ramen, ask them to remove the pork and order chicken on the side. It sucks that you have to pay more for it. Food tasted fine, nothing special. Servers seemed a little impatient with clients. We had a hard time with the countertop of the bar where we’re sitting too. I don’t know if it’s just the kind of material or it was really sticky and dirty, but our dishes kept getting stuck and one of my friends even flipped her bowl when trying to move it on the counter. Price was a little hight too for what you get. Lastly, I ordered a Chashu Bowl to go and when I got home my husband noticed they did not add the egg that’s supposed to come with the food. That was the last straw for me. Unfortunately I did not appreciate the experience in general and won’t be going back.

Best place to have authentic Japanese Tsukemen- dipping ramen. The restaurant is neat, waiting line could get long. The noodles are perfectly cooked, and dipping source is very tasty. For sure will go back.

Used to be there all the time, this time I got really disappointed. They used to have the pickles, the chili oil on the table, but not anymore. I had the chicken char siu instead of pork, only three pieces…the chicken texture was awful. It was dry and non flavorful at all. To be honest, the price went up all the way but the food quality was not improved at all. Very disappointed…Don’t think will be there anymore…

The dipping ramen is a great choice for a hot day. The pork had a great flavor and the right amount of fat but still had a soft bite. The dipping broth is more fishy than the traditional tonkotsu and also thicker — if you are into that. My one knock is that the egg was hard boiled, no runny yolk — but that’s a nitpick.

My friend took me here after realizing that I'd never tried tsukemen before. Right now, they're renovating their shop so they have a smaller location across the street. There was a line of people waiting to get in, so we got our name on the waitlist. On a Friday night, we only waited about 15-20 minutes before getting in. Once we were in, our order was taken very quickly and we had our food before we knew it. The food was pretty carb + protein heavy - you got a lot of noodles, pork, and egg with not too many veggies. Everything was tasty, although I wish the broth was a little warmer (it came pretty lukewarm). A good introduction to tsukemen, and I like it!

Small place with great noodles. I had the cool noodles with an accompanying bowl of warm dipping sauce. The sauce was rich, savory and not too salty. My wife had tonkatsu ramen, which had a lovely light broth.

The silky ramen is delicious and has a truly unique flavor. However, the Sunrise and Sunset ramens are less impressive—they taste more like vegetable soup. The place is often packed, and while the service is fast, it could definitely be cleaner.

Really great spot! Ramen and dipping noodles were really tasty. Chashu is money! Only reason for not 5 stars is the price. About $77 for a beer, two ramens and a juice, but it is LA
