Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation and Time Out LA. Updated April 2026.
Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle Annex · Sawtelle
The benchmark for tsukemen in LA, with a 60-hour tonkotsu that The Infatuation calls a pork-and-seafood umami bomb.
MENSHO TOKYO · Culver City
Tomoharu Shono's LA outpost wins for housemade noodles and the wagyu tsukemen that put him on the global ramen map.
Daikokuya Little Tokyo
The mother of LA ramen and still a pilgrimage bowl for its chashu-forward Kyoto-style tonkotsu.
Torisoba Sumiya · West LA
Charcoal-grilled chicken ramen specialist whose smoky, collagen-rich bird broth has no peer in LA.
Silverlake Ramen · Silver Lake
The eastside tonkotsu default, whose chashu and blazin' broth sealed its Infatuation-endorsed standing in a crowded field.
