Daikokuya Sunset

"A ramen spot on the Sunset Strip, Daikokuya is one of the area’s more affordable options, and it’s an especially cheap place to drink during Happy Hour, with $10 Asahi pitchers and discounted sake. The Deal: $3 draft beers, bottled beers, and sake, $10 pitchers, food specials. When: Daily 3-6pm." - Brett Keating

"Maybe you’re not looking for fancy food and/or pools with DJs. If you’re just cutting across town and need a quick and affordable meal, go eat some soup at Daikokuya. The classic ramen spot opened fairly recently on Sunset, but the quality is just as high as the original in Little Tokyo. Also, the interior is dark and quiet, making it the perfect place to hide away and eat a bowl of noodles by yourself." - Brant Cox

"When it comes to eating on the Sunset Strip, your options are generally overpriced hotel restaurants and bacon-wrapped hot dogs from street carts. But one place that finds the middle ground is Daikokuya. One of LA’s best ramen spots, Daikokuya has expanded rapidly around town, but their quality hasn’t dropped a bit. Plus, their Sunset location is dark and intimate, with the same level of kitschiness as their original Sawtelle location. All the ramen hovers around the $12 mark." - Brant Cox
