LA | Ichimiann: My Top 1 Yuzu Udon

This place doesn’t have a single dish that misses. Specializing in soba and udon, with both cold and warm options. All noodles are handmade—the udon is thin but still holds the broth perfectly. Every bite leaves you speechless. 😌 On my first visit, I tried the seasonal summer special: Yuzu Chashu Ramen. The broth was soul-stirring from the very first sip—bright and tangy, yet balanced with savory soy sauce richness. The chashu was seared to crispy perfection on the fatty edges, making it utterly non-greasy. The tempura was also exceptional: cooked just right, without a hint of oily aftertaste. 🍤✨ I haven’t tried Afuri’s yuzu ramen myself, but friends say Ichimiann tops it. The staff are all Japanese, giving the impression of a humble, hardworking spot in Torrance dedicated to its craft. The restaurant is always bustling—a true must-visit for anyone with good taste. I debated sharing this for a while, honestly worried it might get too crowded to enjoy again! 😅 Whether you’re craving comforting udon, refreshing yuzu ramen, or crispy tempura, Ichimiann delivers an authentic, memorable experience. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you love exploring food—simple, focused, and flawlessly executed. #Food #LifeAbroad #HiddenGems #LAFoodGuide #Udon #WinterDining #Tsukemen #Ramen #Tempura #BestRamen
