Yes another ramen post!
LA recently turn into a battlefield for authentic “long-hour-prep broth” ramen, another darling is Ramen Yamadaya. It has 3 other locations, the original from Torrance, one in Culver city and Westwood, and one coming soon at Costa mesa. As soon as you walk in you can read about their special process of how they prepare their pork broth (i.e. Pork bone boil for 20 hours, each bowl of ramen is extracted from 24 oz of pork bone). The interior is more youthful compare to Ramen Jinya and Tsujita LA.
Yamadaya Ramen $9.95
It has char siu, flavor soft yolk egg and various other toppings. The pork is very tender and the egg is good but I think Tsujita’s better (more favorful and soft). The broth is indeed very rich and flavorful, it has more depth than the Jinya’s broth. I’m glad we got beer to wash down some of the richness. In fact having beer with this is quite necessary.
So many good ramen in town now, that means I need to hit the gym more often so I could go back to eat more!
