The 20 Best Noodle Soups In Los Angeles

"Dish: Daikoku Ramen Why settle for Top Ramen (no offense) when there are three Daikokuyas in the city? Located in Little Tokyo, West Hollywood, and on Sawtelle Blvd., this is where you go when you want to experience the mother of all LA ramen. There are a few variations on the menu, but we recommend keeping it classic with the Daikoku Ramen. It comes with a silky tonkotsu soup base and is topped with tender pork belly chashu, a marinated boiled egg, bamboo sprouts, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This is the noodle soup equivalent of riding in a 1970 Corvette Stingray, or watching Gilda Radner in her prime." - brant cox, kat hong, nikko duren, sylvio martins
