Sawtelle's new charcoal-grilled chicken ramen shop where smoky broth and clean technique put this among LA's best new ramen
Torisoba Sumiya introduced something specific to Sawtelle's already excellent ramen corridor: charcoal-grilled chicken ramen, a style relatively uncommon in Los Angeles where the broth is built from chicken roasted over binchotan charcoal rather than long-simmered pork bones. The result is a lighter, more aromatic bowl with a distinct smokiness that makes it unlike any tonkotsu on the same street. Infatuation LA noted it stands apart from Sawtelle's other ramen shops. The tsukemen — dipping noodles with concentrated broth on the side — is worth trying on a second visit.
