Daikokuya
Sorry, this post is going to be a little short because I'm having trouble remembering the finer details.
A friend of mine took me out to Daikokuya in Little Tokyo a few months back. I hear the lines can be quite long sometimes in this small noodle shop, but we got there a bit early and found the place to be half empty.
Shredded cabbage w/ some sort of mayo/thousand island dressing concoction, which I liked.
We both opted for the combos. Friend got the pork bowl.
I got the pork katsu.
This was a good amount of food, and I didn't end up finishing it.
Their broth is made w/ pork and soy sauce. Comes with some green onions, sprouts, a few slices of chasu, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. I found it pretty tasty even though when it comes to broth, I am more of a miso fan.
I thought I knew what al dente was until I had the noodles here.

Yeah, parking sucks, but it is L.A. I would park on Alameda instead of circling aimlessly and just walk a few blocks.
I just checked on their website, and surprise! They've opened up a new location in Hacienda Heights.

Hey Sawyer - When we lived in LA I loved the ramen Daikokuya. I had heard that they were headed "downhill", and after eating at the location in Costa Mesa, I was worried. But it seems that the Little Tokyo location is still as good as ever.
i was thinking the same thing at santouka ramen when i took gramps. a lil too al dente.. hey btw what's your schedule like this week? wanna get together for dinner with y.j.
