I got this place as a rec from the r/ramen subreddit. I had already planned on visiting the Petersen Automobile Museum and this place is just a short walk away, which makes the eternal LA parking problem less of an issue.
A perfectly fried panko breaded shrimp in a tangy (kewpie?) mayo-based tartar sauce. Fun!
Chicken karaage, marinated chicken thigh w/ that same tartar sauce and a zingy chilli oil.
And the main show, a rich, creamy chicken broth, a poultry analog to tonkotsu pork broth. The chasu was sliced paper thin, giving it a super tender, melty mouthfeel. Thin, straight noodles have plenty of chew. Lots of umami in the broth plus a hint of spice and a heathy helping of ginger.
Thumbs way up. Would order again. Must remember to try the egg next time.
