Daikoku ramen

The story behind the bowl

Daikokuya became one of Little Tokyo's defining ramen institutions by making the modern ramen-shop experience part of Los Angeles dining. Its rich pork broth, soy seasoning and pork belly make the original address a neighborhood pilgrimage.

Before you go: Expect a wait at the Little Tokyo original; verify which branch you are navigating to.
