Chuka Soba @ 831 Yasai Tokyo Ramen

In the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles, Yasai 831 Ramen is quietly transforming the local food scene. While celebrated for its contributions to Vegan Ramen in Los Angeles, this humble eatery also offers a dish that diverges from their vegan lineup – the Chuka Soba, a standout in its own right.

The Chuka Soba at Yasai 831 Ramen is a harmonious dance of simple ingredients coming together to create an unforgettable flavor profile. It all begins with the broth, which is rich and silky, bringing an immediate sense of satisfaction with every spoonful.

Defying expectations, Yasai 831 Ramen chooses a thinner noodle for this particular dish, a departure from the thicker noodles typically found in ramen bowls and notably different from what one might experience at Venice Ramen. This choice of noodle brings an unexpected lightness to the Chuka Soba, offering a delicate bite and enabling the luxurious broth to take center stage.

What sets Yasai 831 Ramen apart is its ability to celebrate the full spectrum of ramen cuisine, from its much-loved vegan offerings to this single, non-vegan option. Though primarily a stalwart of Vegan Ramen in Los Angeles, its Chuka Soba exemplifies the restaurant’s willingness to honor the diversity of ramen. This enticing dish serves as a compelling detour in the journey of exploring the depth and breadth of ramen, making Yasai 831 Ramen a must-visit destination for all ramen aficionados.

The broth is pretty silky and satisfying, but using a thinner noodle than what’s at Venice Ramen.
