In the labyrinth of LA’s Koreatown, Saikai Ramen Bar is more than just another eatery; it’s a damn manifesto. Here, a bowl of ramen isn’t just a dish; it’s a story, a rite of passage. Dive into their 36-hour beef bone marrow broth – so profound, you’d swear it whispers ancient culinary secrets with every sip. The tender sous-vide short ribs, cared for with a dedication that borders on obsession. The seasoned shiitake, standing tall and dignified. Mirepoix oil and green onions tie it all together, humbly yet decisively. And if this beefy masterpiece hits the right notes for you, let me tell you about their spicy beef tsukemen. A game-changer.
But before your main symphony, let Saikai tease your palate. Their Crispy Brussels Sprouts, kissed with yuzu salt and draped with fried onion & garlic, and the Japanese eggplant, a seductive dance of miso glaze, sesame seeds, and chives. Eating here isn’t just another meal; it’s an encounter with LA’s soul itself.
