The Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen served at Tatsunoya features a blend of three kinds of miso – red, white, and barley – mixed with their signature broth. The spice level is just right, providing a kick without overwhelming your palate. The tonkotsu broth is rich and hearty, providing a perfect complement to the miso. It’s topped with wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, cabbage, and a soft-boiled egg, and is served with thick noodles.
Tatsunoya has spent over two decades perfecting this broth, so they kindly request that customers refrain from making substitutions or modifications when ordering their ramen. They encourage you to simply savor what they’ve expertly crafted for you.
Tatsunoya operates two locations in LA. The original, which I prefer, is located in Pasadena. Their newest location, also worth a visit, is in Silverlake.
