Unfortunately Late Night Ramen has been cancelled. The demand has been overwhelming and had to turn away customers. Stay tuned for updates... The Original Ramen Burger's Late-Night Ramen in KTown! They've heard you ask for ramen in a bowl and they're introducing limited late-night ramen. Updated Post  The  Original Ramen Burger will serve Late-Night Ramen on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 pm until Lock & Key closes. Limited to 20 bowls of each per night. Two types of ramen served, Tonkotsu-Shio (pork based) and Torigara-Shio (chicken based). Chef Devin Hight has created two ramen classics with his spin (in a good way). Peter and Fernando will get the bowls out to you. See What Jay Eats...

It's Ramen Monday! Ramen Champ Grand Opening January 19, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I like a traditional ramen. BUT, I do Love a good non-tradtitional ramen too! See Limited-Edition Ramen at Animal HERE Chef / Owner Alvin Cailan of Eggslut (Grand Central Market) opened his ramen outlet in Chinatown's Far East Plaza. This location may sound familiar with neighbors such as Roy Choi's Chego and Chef Andy Ricker's Pok Pok Phat Thai. If you follow me, you know I'm a fan of Eggslut, read more HERE . Chef Cailan joins forces with Nathan Asamoto, Johnny Lee, and Michael Sudjati to create Ramen Champ. A true ramen shop with 22 counter seats only, No tables...just like Japan.   This is how a ramen shop should be! Similar to ramen shops in Tokyo, Ramen Champ takes your order before being seated at a counter. By the time you sit down, your bowls and  sides start  to arrive. See What Jay Eats... ...

I had heard chef / owners of Animal Restaurant, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, were working on ramen.  I remember thinking that the proteins would be amazing and wouldn't be surprised if they created a new style of ramen.   It's good to have foodie friends that share info from around town. @BackyardBite  informed us that Animal's Limited Edition Ramen was at available on Mondays and Tuesdays (from 9 pm to close) at the bar only.  We arrived at about 8:15 or so and got our names on the waiting list, the bar only seats about 7-8 people.  I forgot to mention, there are only 20 bowls each night... Chopped Chili and Garlic  on the bar for ramen We were seated around 9:30 and after our drink order was taken, the ramen seemed to arrive right away. It was suggested to us that we have the ramen first and then order any additions after. See What Jay Eats... The Limited Edition Animal Tonkotsu Ramen $18 with pork belly cha siu...

It's been awhile since my last "Ramen Monday" post.  I thought it was time to dust off the chopsticks and hit some ramen shops and share with you my findings.  For past posts, you can Google "Jay Eats Ramen Monday" and a list will come up. Meanwhile, let's get to the ramen: If you've followed me, you know that Shin-Sen-Gumi is the place I go to when I just want a simple but good bowl of ramen, I guess you can say it's my In-N-Out for ramen... Love the green onions and red ginger, I always ask for extra beni shoga (ginger). If you've never been to Shin-Sen-Gumi, they only serve one style of ramen, Hakata style. It's a tonkotsu broth which is a pork based broth and served with thin noodles. The thin noodles are my favorite. See What Jay Eats...    I happened to stop in for some Hakata Ramen and a 6 piece order of gyoza.  Usually the gyoza comes out before the ramen. The Best thing I like about S...

RAMEN TIME! Last Sunday, I was helping out my friend Keizo Shimamoto and the Original Ramen Burger and Today I'm at the Ramen Yokocho Fest! I have to admit, I haven't really had a lot of ramen lately, if you follow me on Instagram , you know I eat more Vietnamese pho. I do have my ramen favorites. When I do eat ramen, my favorite is  tonkotsu (pork broth) Our goal today was to try places from outside of the Los Angeles area. Hearing and seeing pics of yesterday's madness, we decided to get there early, about 9:15 am. About a 100 people in front of us. The gates open at 10 am. By the time we got in, it was just after 10:30. After you purchase your food and drink tickets, you enter the festival grounds. Ramen = $8 Sodas = $2 Water = $1 With tickets in hand, you look for the  end of the line of the ramen you want to try. I wanted to try the only vendor from Japan, Kitakata Ramen Bannai and ...
