Men Oh Tokushima ramen - Little Tokyo

Perhaps, this ramen place may be the best ramen place in Little Tokyo. My recent trip to Shinsengumi was very disappointed. Also I don't think Daikokuya, Koraku or Orochon is that good.
Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry at all so I was hoping that they're gonna have half portion ramen on the menu but they didn't. So I ordered small Tokushima don. I also tasted my friend's ramen. Everything I ate here were very good.















menu














Tokushima don (S) $2.50
Stir fried pork belly, simmered pork, seasoned bamboo shoots, shredded nori seaweed, and green onions over rice. It was tastier than I expected. It was too fatty for me but still, I enjoyed it.













Gyoza $4.50













Tonkotsu ramen $7.95
chashu,menma, onions, kikurage, (egg), seaweed. Tonkotsu soup didn't have any meaty smell or flavor like Shinsengumi. The noodle was  thin noodles and it was cooked al dente.













side of pork belly













Shoyu ramen $7.95
chashu,menma, onions, boiled spinach, egg, seaweed

There was a hair in my salty pimp ice cream so I had to ask them to make new one for me. When I told them, they said "It happens". Um.. sure, It happens sometimes, but they should be more careful and should apologize at least. Well, my chocolate covered vanilla soft serve was delicious.

I wanted to come here since they opened but I never had a chance to visit because of the location. But I finally made it. This place is open until 5pm but when I got here around 3:30pm, most pastries were gone. They said most pastries sell out around noon. Well, I hope I can go back again sometime in the morning.
