"If you’re getting a bit bored of the ol’ boxed fusilli + ketchup routine (we ran out of tomato sauce), but still want a big bowl of noodles, then it’s time to order from Otafuku. This family-run Japanese restaurant in the South Bay makes their soba in-house every day, with special buckwheat flour imported from Japan. Served with nothing but a tiny dish of garlic soy sauce for dipping, this is the kind of straightforward, simple meal that’s exactly what you need when you can’t bear to squirt Heinz onto dry pasta any more (we didn’t want to waste water). Otafuku Noodle House is available for takeout, call (310) 532-9348 to order." - kat hong
