Notes
Small, busy, cash only ramen house just west of Sawtelle (Little Tokyo West) in West LA. They don’t take reservations or credit cards. If you work close by, I suggest phoning in your order and picking it up. There’s always a wait for a table, and once you do get in, the tables are too close together to sit comfortably and the noise level can too high to carry on a decent conversation (maybe that’s why it’s a popular solo diner hang-out). But the ramen is mighty tasty, and the chicken salad is a bargain at $4.25.
