"We’re combining local ramen legend Tsujita LA and its smaller sister spot across the street, Tsujita Annex, mostly because despite eating at both multiple times over the years, we can't decide which one we prefer (one has thicker noodles and a lighter broth, the other has thinner noodles and a richer broth). Whichever you choose (probably just the one with the shortest line), you won’t be disappointed—their tsukemen dip ramen is a pork and seafood umami bomb that's hearty, bold, and one of the most essential ramen experiences in town." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park

"Tsujita is the undisputed star of Sawtelle, and its perpetual lines are for one thing: tsukemen. This “dip” style ramen consists of cold noodles with a side of rich, pork-based broth and it’s your job to put these delicious things together. There’s also another location, Tsujita Annex, right across the street, which serves traditional ramen with a richer pork broth, complete with spots of fat floating at the surface––both are great, so opt for whichever has the shorter wait." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park
"One of the seminal Hakata-style ramen spots in Los Angeles to really up the game, Tsujita continues to draw long lines for its elemental, pork-laden tonkotsu broth topped with green onions, sliced mushrooms, and chashu pork. Since opening in 2011, the brand has expanded to multiple locations and concepts, including Killer Noodle and Tsujita Annex on the same block of Sawtelle Boulevard. But the original still has its charm, featuring thin wheat noodles, order them al dente to firm while they soften inside the broth. The tsukemen here is inspired by Shinjuku’s Fuunji, intense and thick so that the flavors get soaked up with every dip of the chewy alkaline noodles." - Matthew Kang
