The 1-Hour Wait Ramen from Japan is Now in LA/OC! 🍜

Tried this spot because I heard their Shinjuku main shop often has hour-long lines — and it truly feels like those small, jukebox-style ramen joints in Japan! Not a fancy flavor, but authentic local Japanese taste. We ordered: 🍖 Rich Extra Chashu 🍖 Rich Chashu 🍖 Light Chashu The difference in broth: Rich: heavier, fattier, oilier, with a hint of fish flavor Light: creamy, pure bone broth Extra Chashu has about 3x more meat than regular — super tender, melts in your mouth. 🥢 Side dish: Seaweed Cheese Chashu — really tasty! Great fusion, seaweed wasn’t overly crispy. ✅ The broth isn’t too salty — big plus! ✅ Service is super fast — but note, the noodle portions aren’t huge. 📍 Ramen Tatsunoya OC: 277 E 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 Pasadena: 16 N Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103 #Foodie #DailyEats #LosAngeles #LAFood #OC #IrvineFood #JapaneseRamen #LAJapaneseFood
