"Thankfully, you no longer have to wait 45 minutes for this Tokyo chain's 24-hour-simmered tonkatsu broth. Instead, you can slurp some of LA's best ramen on your lunch break and still get back to your desk in time. The tonkatsu has that quintessential, concentrated pork flavor without Vaseline levels of fat. Their Level 1 spicy isn't very spicy, so crank up the heat or make other adjustments in noodle thickness, broth richness, and garlic potency." - Sylvio Martins, Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
