"Mogumogu specializes in mazemen, broth-less ramen typically flavored with chili and garlic soy sauce. With cheese, curry, and vegan varieties, the Sawtelle shop’s mazemen bowls pack all the flavor without any of the need for soup. In hot or cold weather, it’s a welcome change of pace from tonkotsu’s neverending reign across the city." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
