THE RAMEN GUIDE
Your guide to the best ramen and food experiences all across California!
What is The Ramen Guide?
The ramen guide is a collection of sassy, in depth, and comparative ramen reviews written by me, a ramen enthusiast. My goal is to visit every restaurant in Orange County and Los Angeles that makes and serves tonkotsu ramen. In each review, I rate the main components and then give a final overall rating for the bowl of ramen. After each review, I let you know if I would recommend a restaurant or would not recommend a restaurant.
The Freshest Reviews, Hot Off The Grill
Rustic Canyon
Rustic Canyon finds itself on Wilshire Boulevard near Santa Monica, and earned itself a Michelin star in 2019. Tonight I attempt to taste the best assortment of what Rustic Canyon has to offer, and each of the dishes deliver, crafted from excellent ingredients in creative combinations.
Tatsu Ramen
“Tatsu” means dragon and opened its doors in 2012, the year of the dragon. There is a reason why Tatsu has the longest lines on Sawtelle. A killer bowl with lots of variety and great ingredients. They are doing a lot of things right here, and it’s a must visit for any ramen fan.
Menya Musashi Ramen
A bowl so big, there are multiple meals within this meal. Menya Musashi serves one of the largest and most special bowls of ramen that I have encountered, featuring way more than the traditional broth and noodles.

Ramen
Ramen is my obsession. Any bowl of tonkotsu ramen must have three main ingredients that I call the “Holy Trinity”.
The Broth. The Noodles. The Chashu.
Each ingredient may be simple on its own, but the real magic is when they harmonize.

Sushi
Sushi is a craft that dances between food and art. My favorite style is “omakase” where I leave the decision to the chef, who then prepares a multi-course selection of sushi or other small dishes.
