We stopped by on a high 90s high humidity day in LA and had to wait a bit outside in the heat. Was so looking forwarding to stepping inside only to find out that it was only mildly better temperature wise. We had already waited and were seated so decided to stay but it made for a quick meal (maybe that's their tactic lol). I ordered the miso carbonara and it was good - not too salty - but the portions were tiny! I would say it's close to half the amount of the frozen udon blocks you get at the supermarket. Nice chew and flavor but almost like an appetizer for $17/$18. I do really like the food but would probably either not wait or grab another noodle place nearby. Feel really bad for the workers who have to work in such hot conditions.

It's very possible that this is the world's best chicken noodle soup. Rich and pure chicken flavor,…read moreperfectly chewy knife-cut noodles that likely cook in the stock so the starch releases to give it a beautiful texture. Also got the oyster porridge. Very solid dish, but that kalguksu reigns supreme. Valet parking in the lot will run you $5-6, and the best time to go is within an hour of opening. The place fills quickly. The team works efficiently to turn tables without making you feel rushed. Highly recommended.

I tried coming 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday during lunch time and that helped a lot! Would recommend coming during the day if you want to avoid waits. Some of our favorites: -Chicken Kalguksu: I get this every time! The broth is amazing, have never had such a rich, flavorful chicken broth before. You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

We had a mixed experience during our visit. Although the restaurant offers easy, free parking and…read moreplenty of seating, the service fell short of expectations. We initially provided our order to an Asian server, but were later assisted by a different Hispanic/Latina waitress. A male staff member also checked in with a thumbs‑up/thumbs‑down gesture, which felt unclear and added to the overall inconsistency. I generally prefer when servers take orders with a notepad. While many can remember everything perfectly without one, in this case it would have helped -- we never received our water, and the waitress had to reconfirm our meat selection. Small details like that affected the flow of the meal. The food was decent. I would reorder the Yuzu Ratan ($19) and the Basque Cheesecake ($11), as those were the highlights. However, the Mango Margarita ($15) didn't taste like mango at all, and my boyfriend chose not to correct it. Overall, the dishes and drinks were just average. We've been trying to explore neighborhoods outside of our usual Koreatown and Silver Lake spots, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't stand out more. The restaurant does offer reservations, which is convenient, but the service and attention to detail could use improvement.

Luckily, the wait was not too long for MDK noodles on a weekend afternoon. My friends and I were…read moreseated within 10 minutes. I tried their rice cake & dumpling soup, while we all shared their pork dumplings. The soup was warm and satisfying, with chewy rice cakes and dumplings in a light, savory broth. The soup had a simple, comforting flavor that was great for a rainy day. The pork dumplings were also delicious, with a tender wrapper and flavorful, juicy filling. Solid spot for some Korean comfort food!

I was on a work trip and had to order dinner just for myself to eat. I delivered the Spicy Kalguksu…read moreand pork dumplings, both of which were still piping hot when it arrived 20 minutes later. While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated. I could not even finish the bowl since the noodle texture made it not that great. The spiciness of the soup seemed to overwhelm the flavor of the broth itself, which was disappointing. However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture.

The staff were warm and attentive, and the service was quick even when it got busy. Places like Tsujita are what make a neighborhood special.

There is no better place to get dipping ramen than Tsujita!…read more The one in sawtelle always packed with a wait- this one you could walk right in! Don't bother getting anything else except the chashu tsukemen for food. It's THAT good!!! Also if you want to treat yourself- get the $6 apple juice that's won several awards. Lowkey expensive but you get why when you taste it. Best apple juice I've ever had- and I grew up in the northeast.

The restaurant really felt like stepping into a ramen shop in Japan, especially with the booths and the bar seating right in front of the cooks making the ramen. It was fun being able to watch them prepare the food. My friend and I both ordered the Daikoku Ramen since it was listed as their top seller on the menu. The broth was so rich and creamy, and the noodles were really good and chewy. The marinated egg was also cooked perfectly. The whites were nicely set while the center was still gooey, with a little bit of sweetness from the marinade. Overall, we really enjoyed the ramen and had a great experience. I would definitely recommend the Daikoku Ramen if you're visiting for the first time!

This restaurant is definitely a treat for anyone who want to try the Japanese style pasta. I had Japanese style pasta back in Japan before. And this little restaurant tastes exactly the same (if not better!!) We tried the uni pasta, mentai cream pasta and a tomato based pasta. All delicious. You cannot choose your own pasta style and cooking tenderness though. Portion is big and they come with salad and bread too. Price is reasonable. And our servers was super nice and make us felt so welcome all the time!

i'm a big fan of pasta and asian flavors, and this might be one of my favorite places in LA…read more i've been here twice now, and each time i've come right at 5pm. it's been the most seamless experience, but i've seen how the small space can get filled up quickly. i have to give props to the staff for being so attentive and efficient. the dimly lit and intimate ambience here makes you feel like you're at an italian restaurant. you even get a small salad and dinner roll with butter to start. i was impressed already -- the bread was warm and soft, and the salad dressing was surprisingly addicting. it had a tanginess that felt light and refreshing. then come the pastas, and the portions are bigger than you'd expect. three dishes are plenty for a family of four to share and experience each flavor. the mentai cream pasta is my favorite, and as someone who loves creamy and almost-sweet flavors, i'll pick it every time. the only complaint my family had was that all the pastas used the same spaghetti noodle, which does take away the opportunity for each dish to stand out on its own. the fuller you get, the more the pastas start to blend in taste -- but still to me a delicious, unable-to-stop-eating taste nonetheless.
