Daikokuya

This popular hole in the wall ramen restaurant in Little Tokyo seems to always have a line outside, but that’s because the food served is so good! This place has to have some of the best ramen around. The Daikoku Ramen is a must-try, and if you get the combo, it comes with a bowl of salad and your choice of chicken egg, port cutlet, or salmon sashimi, among other choices. Those not feeling up for ramen can also find other quality, filling meals as well, including bento boxes and sushi options. Service is quick, attentive and friendly. There’s metered street parking available and some nearby structures that charge anywhere between $3 to $6 in the late afternoon/evening.
