Santa Monica Ramen

If you are looking for high quality Ramen in Santa Monica, this is the definitive list.

Tatsu

This is the gateway ramen. It's overall good, and they've got decent variety. It's a must try for anyone in the SAMO or Greater Los Angeles Area.

Daikokuya

Traditional style ramen and tsukumen. They've changed up their broth recipe and it's amazing! Check it out.

Tsuijita

The most famous LA spot on the list. They have multiple locations. If you had to only go to one place, this would be the place.

Killer Noodle

Focus on spicy ramen. If you like hot food, this is your ramen spot. You order on a scale from 0-5 for spicy. Even spicy lovers tend to tap out at a 3 or 4. Only order a 5 if you want to die or have already burned off your taste buds.
