"This tiny spot on Sawtelle specializes in Japanese curry ramen—something you can’t easily find in the neighborhood—and it’s one of our favorite soups in town. The broth is a rich blend of earthy curry and salty chicken stock that’s topped with a slice of braised pork chashu, crunchy bean sprouts, and green onions. In combination with the chewy noodles, this is a delicious, expertly made bowl of soup that’s ideal after dealing with your neighbor’s “DIY jackhammer project” all week. Be sure to also try the equally flavorful keema, a dry curry noodle topped with pico de gallo, corn, and shredded chili peppers." - brant cox
