Ramen & Tsukemen Tao, a culinary gem in Buena Park, California, fuses tradition and innovation to redefine ramen. Owner Chef Toshimasa Sano honed his craft at the respected Tsujita in Tokyo, an esteemed artisan ramen brand that also has a popular outpost in Los Angeles. The late Jonathan Gold, a renowned food critic for the Los Angeles Times, crowned Tsujita as “the king of tonkotsu ramen in Los Angeles” in 2017, cementing its place in the ramen hall of fame.
At Ramen & Tsukemen Tao, Sano applies his expertise to create unique Miso-style ramen, offering two distinct options: the robust red miso and a more subtle, yet equally captivating, white miso.
A past and potentially future highlight on their menu is the electrifying Spicy Miso Ramen. This limited-time offering set tongues alight with the inclusion of sansho pepper, celebrated for its unique spice profile that imparts both heat and a tingling numbness. This dish is a testament to Ramen & Tsukemen Tao’s continued innovation, marking it as a must-visit destination for ramen lovers in Buena Park.
