The one bowl to order

The tsukemen: thick noodles dipped in a dense pork-and-fish broth, with a squeeze of sudachi

The line to expect: A wait at lunch and dinner on Sawtelle. Beat it: mid-afternoon.

Eater LA has called its tsukemen among the best in the city; the dipping broth is thick enough to cling.

30 min with a ready broth · 2. The noodles come cold and thick in one bowl, a hot, concentrated dip in another. Dip, slurp, and at the end ask for hot broth to thin the dip and drink it.
