Los Angeles, CA
Best Ramen in Los Angeles.
Harry's top 10 ramen spots in Los Angeles score 83–90 on the Harry Score.
Sawtelle Boulevard is the reason to have an opinion about ramen in this city — a few blocks of West LA pack in one of the highest concentrations of ramen shops in the country, and it's where dipping-style tsukemen got popular here before most of America knew what it was. Tonkotsu is still the default broth from Venice to the Valley, which makes it easy to hide behind pork fat. Harry cares about the tare and whether the noodles hold their bite past minute two, not how many hours the bones simmered.
