Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Week: April 14 | Eater LA

"A supremely simple, spot-on Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen: the milky pork broth has a terrific balance of umami and richness, with satisfyingly chewy wheat noodle strands typical of the style. The seared pork belly is modest and the bowl itself is on the small side, but the soup—tinted with white pepper and sliced scallions—works as a kind of finisher to the restaurant’s playful izakaya fare like rolled and stuffed pork belly skewers or crispy chicken karaage. The reviewer notes they’ll “probably be thinking the most about the tonkotsu ramen.”" - Eater Staff
