Tsujita LA

About

Tsujita LA on Sawtelle, an offshoot of a Tokyo ramen shop, is all about the tsukemen: thick noodles dipped in a long-simmered pork-and-seafood broth, finished with a squeeze of lime. The main shop and the Annex across the street have slightly different menus, so go wherever the line's shorter.

Insider tips

• You can add more noodles; ask them to thin the broth if it's too rich
• The main shop and the Annex face each other; go to whichever line is shorter
• Order: Tsukemen, dipping noodles in a 60-hour pork-bone and seafood broth
• Order: Add a soft-boiled egg (ajitama) and choose firm noodles
• Order: Finish with a squeeze of lime; just do it the official way
