Tsukemen @ Tsukemen Aizen

In the bustling heart of Little Tokyo, nestled within the vibrant streets of Downtown Los Angeles, you’ll discover Tsukemen Aizen. This unassuming gem offers a truly unique take on the traditional ramen experience.

The house dipping broth undergoes a meticulous 12-hour simmering process, coaxing rich flavors from carefully selected pork bones. To achieve its thick, hearty texture, chicken bones, assorted vegetables, mackerel bones, and a special water blend join the mix. But what sets their noodles apart is the use of udon flour, giving them a pleasantly soft texture that departs from the norm of traditional tsukemen noodles. You can also customize your experience with a choice of three noodle sizes.

As you step inside, the tantalizing aroma of smoky chashu immediately envelops your senses, foreshadowing the flavorful journey ahead. The dipping broth, adorned with small chunks of this delectable treat, promises an exceptional tasting experience. Thinly sliced pork, elegantly laid out with the noodles, adds a visual and gastronomic delight, presenting a striking presentation unlike any other.

The interior of Tsukemen Aizen boasts a cool modern vibe, adding to the overall dining experience. Additionally, there are three sizes of noodles to choose from, and the deluxe tsukemen includes thin slices of chashu elegantly arranged with the noodles, setting it apart from the regular tsukemen
