Daikokuya

In the heart of downtown's Little Tokyo—outfitted with rows of shiny red vinyl booths and a long countertop for perching—lies a mecca for rabid ramen enthusiasts. Daikokuya serves a simple but stunning menu and their signature dish is comprised of rich, golden pork broth, a tangle of slippery noodles, soft, savory kurobuta black pork and a whole soy-marinated egg. Arrive early—doors close when the soup's all slurped up.
