Weeknights, Tatsu’s entire menu of inventive ramen styles (consider the Naked Ramen , which arrives with vegan noodles and no broth) is available until 2am and on weekends closing time stretches to 3am Read more

I'm usually a tonkotsu (pork soup ) ramen guy but this place makes a great chicken soup (cheeky ramen ). I dig the naked "ramen " but it's really all about the soup they work so hard to make.

Vance Philips

The Bold Ramen is absolutely delicious. That with a ramen burger would be great to split for 2! And if you've never a ramen burger , this is among the best!

coco

adorable, delicious, quick. especially happy to see a vegan ramen that was full of flavor! you can customize your orders which is a unique bonus.

Natalie Guerra

The best ramen , only downside is the way you order is cool but annoying, and if it's busy expect to wait awhile.

LJ Parkes

It's not the cheapest but it's most definitely the best in Hollywood. The decor, service and menu are well worth the few extra bucks. Try the Bold with an extra egg .

Andrea

The hippie ramen is a pleasant surprise! Very savory and rich without being too heavy. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients too.

Elizabeth

Hands down, the best ramen burger ever made. Even better than the original out of NYC. Less ramen bun , more patty and perfect sauce combo. ????

Juliet R

Cheeky Ramen ! If you’re like me and can’t do spicy dishes , the Cheeky Ramen is a great choice. The Bold Ramen is amazing too!

Arnie Panameño

Order the Bold Ramen and indulge in some rich broth and charred chicken . The soft boiled egg is an amazing bonus.

Brook Shelley

Damn. Best bowl I've had in LA. The chashu was tender like woah, and the broth was on point. Get the bold and have fun.

Maia K.S.

Tatsu is a great "mainstream" ramen option. Always consistent, always perfectly spicy , and this location has plenty of space and free wifi !

Kylie Matsumoto

You place your order via iPads, which is pretty awesome to begin with. The bold ramen was very flavorful and the shoyu egg was perfectly cooked.

Amy MacDonald

Great vegetarian options ! Great for late night take out , restaurant was still booming at 1:30AM!

Danny Nathan

The ramen was tasty, especially for veggie ramen/broth. The vibe is a little frantic. Feels kinda like chipotle for ramen (but with way better food).

Alexia Cardenas

The wait is ridiculous. Just order online and go pick it up. They'll let you know when it's ready. The pork buns are pretty good though. Be sure to eat it while it's hot!

Michael Donovan

Great ramen . They're also proudly developing AI for skynet. (That will make sense when you place your order)

Lauren Michaels

Always get the side of veggie fried rice with a soft boiled egg !! It’s like dessert ????

M Heider

Best vegan ramen I've ever had! Crave-worthy!

Talisa Chang

I liked the soul ramen the best, with an egg . Add some crushed garlic and corn and don't forget to tip.

Michael Liu

The gluten free ramen is great! Texture is on point.

Sarah

Best ramen I've had in my life so far. You'll be painfully full, but get the pork bun anyway.

Lisa Sosa

I got the bold- delicious!! My husband got the soul- good but mine was better.

Edward Forte

Really good ramen in LA. Nice variety of choices and great ramen way burger

Justine

The Bold Ramen was delicious and incredibly flavorful ❤️ (only downside was an upset stomach)

Ray Corasani

The bowls are all great. Haven't tried the Hippie . The Ramen burger is a $7 side but worth every penny! It's amazing!!

Jeff Solomon

Try the bold. Amazing broth with a lot of garlic

Thirsty James

Bold #Ramen with great chicken , long wait , wish they had beer

Elliot James

Flawless Ramen experience. Make sure you add a pork bun !

Thomas Colton

Solid ramen and open late , but the burger is the best thing on the menu. Fun spot

Andrew Sorcini

Hearty old-school tsukemen ramen , but be prepared for a long wait .

Lizzy Cook

Go Bold on the Ramen . Love that you order at the door on an iPad. Pay with card at the iPad as service is a little slow.

Kristin Lohin

Holy shit was this ramen good! Had the bold and red ramen .

Darian Lopez

Great service, friendly folks , one of my favorite ramen spots. I kick it old school.

Dianna K

had the hippie ramen - broth was bomb. wish there were more veggies . they need a better system tho- went on a Friday waited 45 min for a table and only got one bc I finally was like what is going on?

Michael

Free 1 hour parking in the back! Make sure to add corn to your ramen , it's free!

Michael Liu

Really love the ordering on the touch screens. Really streamlines the ordering process.

Cherith Zanghi

GREAT food, bad wait. Sparse seating & poor layout that squashes everyone who's waiting together. Order system is hard to find (pads on wall), card swipe barely works. But the FOOD! Order it takeout !

Austin Clements

Service is great for fast casual . Ramen is delicious but I also like the Red Rice

Fei Kuang

Simply awesome. Try the soul one.

zgrat

The red miso and the soul ramen are amazing.

Vivien Rodriguez

Vegan stuff is seriously competition for the regular ramen . Freaking amazing..

Roger Ma

The bold ramen has the most flavaaa!!

Sabina Kelly

Check out @davidfloresart in the alley

Chez Stock

Any place that has a garlic press on the table is a-ok in my book .

Jonathan Orellana

The bold ramen is heaven

Abi Panicker

Above average as ramen goes, worth the visit

Ben Walton

Don't even try the parking out front. The back is where it's at.

Tera Doan

Naked ramen is my all time favorite

Jennifer

The iPad ordering is neat, but no technology can save the (horribly dry) pork bun . Stick to the ramen and make sure you request some extra garlic .
