Tonkotsu Ramen @ Hakata Ikkousha Ramen

Zac — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 23:44:00 +0000

Hakata Ikkousha is renowned for its signature dish, particularly the creamy Hakata-style Tonkotsu Ramen, which features house-crafted noodles. What sets their ramen apart is the meticulous preparation of the broth. Through a careful process, they simmer it for nearly 30 hours. As a result, this extended cooking process yields a unique taste and texture that has earned this chain multiple awards over the years.

One distinctive feature of ordering ramen at Hakata Ikkousha is the provided order sheet. This nifty tool allows you to customize various aspects, such as the soup and noodle hardness, to suit your personal preferences.

Moreover, if you’re planning to visit Hakata Ikkousha in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, parking can be a breeze. While you might luck out with street parking, it’s highly recommended that you head directly to the Aiso Parking Garage, located just two blocks away. Not only is it quite affordable, but you’ll also typically find plenty of available parking spaces. This convenience enhances your visit to this beloved ramen spot even further.

Plus, don’t miss out on the fantastic karaage, japanese fried chicken, which is renowned throughout Los Angeles. What makes their karaage stand out is the unique marination process. The chicken is soaked in buttermilk for an extended period, enhancing its flavor and tenderness before it’s battered and fried to perfection. To top it off, it’s served with a mouthwatering mix of pepper, salt, and paprika that’s simply irresistible.

In summary, Hakata Ikkousha offers a delightful ramen experience with numerous customizable options, easy parking, and an unforgettable karaage that sets it apart in Los Angeles’ culinary scene.

This style of ramen is known for a healthy portion of chopped onions on top. The onion is a nice touch and is pretty mellow when mixed with the rest of the ingredients. This is topped with duck, which I recommend you select.

Thin round noodles.
