AH-MA-ZING!! Brought one of our best friends from Hawaii to have lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We got seated right away which was great bc we were all getting hangry. For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :) read more

Had an event at the Hilton next door and we're feeling a need for dessert, so we decided to stop in for ice. Service was good and the ice was pretty big, but a tad too sweet for me. One of the party ordered a ramen and they said it was pretty tasty. read more

We came here for dinner on a Tuesday night around 8pm. There was no time and we were seated immediately. Staff was quick in taking orders. Ambiance is cozy with people talking in the background. I got the tsukemen (dipping taken) ($16.50). Sauce was savory and thick as you dip the noodles in there. The noodle texture was very chewy. Portion was kind of small for the price. There is hardly any charsu despite the description in the menu. This item was worth trying but maybe not worth repeating. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Tsukemen - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

[Food] - Tsukemen (R $16.50): I wasn't too hungry today, so I opted for the plain one and took a bite of my bf's charsiu instead. Delicious as always especially with a squeeze of lime! Noodles were al dente and bouncy. They never disappoint with their signature fish-based dipping broth. Love that they offer soup wari since I love drinking all my soup (: - Deluxe Tsukemen (R $25.50): If you prefer more toppings, I would recommend this! My bf usually gets this one to share some with me since I can never finish my bowl. Amazing as always! [Service] - Friendly, helpful, fast - Was glad this location didn't have a crazy wait time as the Sawtelle location [Ambiance] - Casual and moderately sized restaurant [Overall] - Would come back again especially since this location is closer for me and the food quality is similar to the Sawtelle location. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I had a weekend dinner at Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle with our group of four back in March 2025. The other two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking. read more

Came here with friends on a Tuesday night for some dinner. They were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait for a table when we arrived. They have a lot of tables and its nicely decorated inside and not too loud. I heard their dipping ramen is good but I wasn't feeling it so I ordered their Chasu Tonkotsu Ramen (20.95). It didn't take that long to be served which was great. The Chasu Tonkotsu ramen comes with some seaweed, dried wood ear fungus, and plenty of chasu. The chasu was seasoned well and not fattt but thinly sliced so there actually isn't much chasu given even though there are a couple pieces. The ramen texture was good and broth was deep and rich as well, and it felt pretty authentic. The portion was okay for a regular size but it might be small for people who have bigger appetites. However, it did feel overpriced when it doesn't even come with an egg and doesn't taste spectacular. This place is worth a try but I would recommend choosing a different ramen from their menu. read more

This location has rebranded to Tsuke Artisan Noodles, but at the end of the day, I can never forgive them and I can never forget what they took from me, aka Killer Noodle. I know they owned Killer Noodle and brought it back for a day or so during some weeks, but still. I feel like I can partly blame those who can't handle spice, numbing or not, and or people with generally normie tastes. Anyways, enough of that diatribe. Parking can get horrible and fisted here, even though there's parking in the pit. The best bet is to just park at the 99 Ranch Market across the street and walk over. This restaurant also gets super busy too and there's limited tables and seating inside for how popular it is. They did collabs too, like the Naruto one. There were instructions on how to properly eat tsukemen and staff was friendly and polite too. I know they tried to make the ambiance a bit nicer and fancier, but with the constant slew of customers and people, you can only do so much. Since it's a tsukemen restaurant, I always just got tsukemen here. I'd get the spicy chashu tsukemen. Comes with a generous portion of chashu pork and is made with their homemade spices. It also comes with a soft boiled egg, a slice of lime to squeeze in for taste, green onions and a sheet nori. After dipping the noodles, you can ask for soup wari to eat the rest of the broth in. It's a delicious and hefty portion and sorta justifies the $30 for a bowl of tsukemen thing. Flavorful broth with a depth of delicious spices. Nice thick noodles that absorb the broth nicely. I like that you get a good amount of chashu. Adding the lime makes the noodles a bit more refreshing if you get a bit tired of the taste. Spicy doesn't make it spicy at all, but at the very least gave a bit of heat to it. There's other Tsujitas out there, just now a bit farther. read more

It's been awhile since I visited, especially while the kids are young since it's always rough to eat out. But now that my kids are in elementary school, the kids meal here is a game-changer. The simplified ramen mean my kids actually finish their bowls. As for me, I love that I can tailor my spice level for the tsukemen. Most Japanese cuisine are pretty mild so the extra kick is nice. The restaurant is well lit and the staff are very attentive. It actually feels less like a candle lit romantic restaurant these days and more of a family friendly hang out place. Parking has gotten tougher lately. I'm guess business is doing well with all the other dining options in the plaza. But I have yet to not be able to find parking underground. The recent Naruto anime collaboration was a nice surprise. Nothing fancy... no, really. They just gave us a free paper coaster, but my kids had fun with it. Sometimes the smallest touches make the biggest impact. This place still got it. To think back in the day those of us in SGV would have to drive all the way to Sawtelle for a good bowl of tsukemen. Good ramen that works for both adults and kids isn't easy to find. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pretty good dipping ramen. Came here shortly before closing time to try the famous dipping ramen, and was not disappointed. The dipping broth comes piping hot and the noodles were great. The broth was a bit too salty for my liking, but that's expected since it's supposed to be used for dipping. Overall, would come here again since the service was exceptional and the food was good. read more

This Tsujita is located in a plaza that connects with the San Gabriel Hilton. I recommend parking in the plaza's underground lot and walking up the stairs near the elevators to the first floor. I came here for Friday lunch and it wasn't very busy. I got to chose where I wanted to sit, and the staff brought over water. The table has sides of pickeled ginger and a mustardy paste that's sesame flavored. I ordered the karage for $8.95 and tonkatsu ramen for $15.95. The prices seemed to have gone up in the last few months. The karage portions were smaller than expected. It wasn't the most Krispy but was fragrant. It also came with a white sauce and a lime for additional flavors. The ramen noodles were very hard when it first arrived at the table. The soup is oily yet light, the green onions and wood ear fungi adds texture and flavors that enhance the meal. The ramen portion was reasonable, and I was very full afterwards. The staff is very diligent, attentive, and helpful. I only have good things to say about the service. Overall, the food was good but on the pricier side. The service is excellent. I recommend coming to this Tsujita to give their ramen a try! read more

Loved everything about the visit I had at this Tsujita location. The service was prompt, friendly, and fast. The server explained everything thoroughly to my dining companion who has never had tsukemen before. The noodles were delicious as was the appetizer. I didn't quite find my noodles spicy at all despite selecting a higher numbness and spiciness level. Parking is also available and free. It was also not crowded and the restaurant airy and well air conditioned, which I appreciated. It was nice I had enough elbow rooms and ease of getting in and out of my seat despite the two seater table I selected. I hope an outpost for Tsujita pops up in Orange County somewhere in the future. We totally need a good noodle restaurant like this in Irvine or Mission Viejo area. read more

The restaurant is rather small. They currently have a collaboration with Naruto so there's some images on the walls. The servers were nice but they often forgot items, even when it wasn't so busy. I got the Spicy Ajitama Tuskemen. It definitely hit the spot but lacked spice. It was as spicy as sriracha. The brown mushroom side had more of a kick than the soup. The only thing I didn't like was that the soup was rather cool, I would've like it to be more warm read more

I used to go to Tsujita in Sawtelle all the time. This is where I discovered dipping ramen (tsukemen). I haven't been awhile and I know there are other locations that have subsequently opened. I was really craving a simple meal on Friday night and I happened to see Tsujita on a YouTube channel, so I knew it was meant to be. I was going to be in SGV, so I decided on this location. This is located in a strip mall. Parking is not bad. It's hard to find spots on the ground floor, but tons of parking undergound. There wasn't a line when I got there on Friday night, but I can see on a cold night, that it could start getting packed. I will first say, that I was quite surprised by how expensive it is now. I remember when I thought this was budget friendly, but it no longer is. But, since I was here, I ordered the deluxe tsukemen because I wanted the full experience with chasu slices and egg. I will say that maybe my tastes have changed a little, but I thought it was just OK. The chasu pork was not tender at all and the pork that was in the soup already was almost inedible because it was so overcooked. The noodles were pretty good and the taste of the soup was still as good as I remember. That being said, I don't think that the price justifies the somewhat underwhelming food that came out. There are so many different ramen places now, not sure if I could come back here. But, I did enjoy for the nostalgia. read more

Tsukemen is one of my favorite Japanese dishes and this place specializes in it and does it right. I got the Spicy Chashu Tsukemen in a Large and it hit the spot. Served with lime and GENEROUS slices of chashu. The broth was rich, flavorful, and complimented the noodles and meat perfectly. Not much to add or detract from tbh, was a perfect bowl of Tsukemen in my eyes. Only thing, as someone who always gets the larger option at places I think most people would be fine with a R order of Tsukemen. The only thing that's added is more noodles which if anything I had too many of. I think with the amount of meat given the R is already enough to make you full, I felt like I was going to burst haha Lunchtime on a Sunday had quite open seating, and service was prompt and kind. You are even able to split your bill as many ways as you like if you desire. They have a Naruto collab going on right now, so listening to the Naruto OST while dining was a nostalgic and fun experience! read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Spicy Large Chashu - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Love that Tsujita has other locations than its original in Sawtelle! And luckily, this one hits the spot the same as the original. Parking in this lot can be crowded as its a busy street but there should be plenty in the underground structure. Came for a late weekday dinner and there was no issue parking and plenty of seating inside. Like the original Tsujita, it's well-decorated and has pretty much all the same options--but I love that there's stuff you can't find at the original here too! The perfect example of this is that they have spicy tsukemen--the same famous tsukemen they have as the original, but, understandably, spicy! It definitely hit the spot like the original would, that smoky, fishy, umami, porky broth flavor coming through and coating the noodles. To be honest, I'm not sure if it's because I'm so used to eating the non-spicy original, but it didn't mesh together as well as I thought. However, it's still a nice twist on the original if you like spicy! read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Spicy tsukmen - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

It was a rainy Saturday early evening, so it was pretty quick to get a table. There were a few empty tables when we arrived, so we were seated right away. Closer to us leaving, more customers started to come in that most tables were filled, but there wasn't any wait outside yet. The service is always nice and quick here, so it's nice to see the consistency in service, despite them usually having only one or two waiters at a time from what I remember. Got the Ajitama Tsukemen, Spicy Ajitama Tsukemen, Ajitama Tonkatsu ramen, and Tsujita Hojicha Pudding. Unfortunately, my go-to is normally the Deluxe Tsukemen, but this day they did not have the tsukemen chashu ready (was told that the wait was 30 minutes if we wanted it), which sucks because that eliminates half of the Tsukemen menu as a choice. - Ajitama Tsukemen: I prefer toppings with my tsukemen, so I opted for this because their seasoned egg is pretty good too, a jammy yolk that's nicely marinated. It was good, but I still prefer the Deluxe Tsukemen and would recommend that over this for a more balanced experience. This had bits of chashu in the dipping broth, but it was very few and mainly fatty pieces. I love the fresh lime with it, so I recommend adding it for a little acidity to cut the fattiness that can make it feel too heavy to finish. It's recommended to squeeze the lime onto the noodles, but I prefer squeezing it directly into the dipping broth for a more acidic punch to the taste. - Spicy Ajitama Tsukemen: It's the Ajitama Tsukemen but spicy. The spice level was not too overwhelming, it had a pleasant heat level that I found to be not overwhelming. There was a kick to it at first, but not crazy spicy at all. - Ajitama Tonkatsu: I didn't try this as this was my friend's order. She found it to be average. It was not the best tonkatsu ramen for her, so if she was to come here, she'd prefer tsukemen over their ramen too. Based on the look of it, the ramen noodles were of the thinner ramen type. - Tsujita Hojicha Pudding: Surprisingly impressed with this dessert! I didn't expect to like it much, but it was a great dessert. Nutty, toasty, creamy, and perfectly sweetened! The pudding is a nice texture, maybe on the firmer side but nothing off-putting about that. Topped with a light whipped cream that's also hojicha (I think?), it's balanced and almost addicting. Overall, this is a great option for lunch or dinner. They're known for their tsukemen, which I also enjoy more, so I'd recommend this spot for tsukemen rather than their ramen. It might feel a bit on the pricier side for what it is. It's definitely a little splurge for a casual meal to me too, but it's consistently good and I do enjoy their recipe. Worth a consideration if you're interested and in the area! read more

It is a small store in a busy plaza, we wanted to give it a try due to some famous youtuber's video. Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle's "Killer Noodle" is a masterful fusion of Sichuan heat and Southeast Asian flavors, delivering an intense, a bit numbing spice that's not for the faint of heart. Love the sesame and peanuts aroma! My husband can normally handle very spicy food, but even their Level 4 spice (out of 6) had him sweating --deliciously so, but be aware! The Spicy Chashu Ramen was slightly more approachable, with its creamy, umami-rich pork bone broth balancing the heat beautifully. The flavorful chashu ( very thin) and springy noodles made it a standout. Just wish they can put more topping ( vegetable). If you love bold, fiery flavors, Tsujita LA is a must-try--just start lower on the spice scale unless you're truly fearless. One of the most memorable ramen spots in the city! And it is a bit pricy but worth the try!! read more

Arrived at 1120am today knowing they open at 1130am because we wanted to avoid the lunch rush. My wife and kids were really looking forward to the Tsukemen so we waited right outside. At 1132am, the worker comes out and lets us know that the Tsukemen would take 1 hour so they are only serving ramen. Why couldn't he tell us while we were in line? Why would your signature dish take an extra hour after opening? Horrible customer experience. read more

Still the best tsukemen in the area, but needs improvements. The broth on my most recent visit was quite bland which is so unlike Tsujita - they're known for rich, decadent, umami-packed broths! The price is seriously outrageous for a bowl of noodles. I think my plain tsukemen was $18 pre-tax. And speaking of the check, our group ordered takeout after our dine-in meal to bring food for friends and bought a $40 tee. They put those purchases all on one check, so the tipping was calculated inclusive of clothing and takeout. I don't know if that's intentional or an oversight, but just a callout to be wary of. Asking them to split out the checks saved us nearly $40! Their chicken karaage and takoyaki are delicious, but between the mid broth and high prices, I'm not keen on going back. read more

This ramen spot is fairly small and it's located inside a pretty busy plaza so parking can be difficult. However, they have underground parking! Service was ok, could be more friendly and attentive! It is pretty small so there can be a wait if it gets busy! It is not too loud so that's pretty good Expect to pay at least $20+/ramen! Ramen was on the pricier side. Got the Deluxe Tonkatsu ($23.95) 2 pieces of thinly sliced chashu and seasoned egg. The ramen was mediocre, nothing special and didn't seem freshly made as I expected. Broth was pretty standard and nothing too spectacular. Think that's the most expensive bowl of ramen I've paid. I would say it's 3/5 Takoyaki was pretty good ($8.95) it was very crispy and fresh. 4/5 Probably won't return or recommend. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Deluxe Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I dont crave ramen often but heard great things about this place so we stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. It was busy but we got the last table available and ordered an appetizer and 3 main dishes. Chicken Karaage: Large chicken pieces paired with a nice sauce! It was fried to perfection and super worth it! Regular/Spicy Tonkotsu: Pretty small portion but it was really good. Not alot of toppings and paired with thin/al dente ramen noodles. Broth was flavorful and not fatty or too salty. One serving size. Killer noodle and standard spice: Really yummy and unique dish. Has a heavy peanut and sesame flavor and a thick sauce consistency that might not be for everyone as it can get pretty overwhelming. Overall the food was really good, we finished everything and service was friendly, but it is pricy for everything and portions were small, so definitely not a weekly thing. read more

Came here for their tsukemen and left very happy, especially when there's no crazy line! Got the Deluxe Tsukemen which comes with these thick thick cuts of chasu. The broth is as good as the other locations but I do feel the chasu was a bit more tough? Tons of flavor still. I like to add a few more limes to my noodles to give it a bit of acid. We no longer get the ramen cause the formula has changed over the years but the tsukemen is still the top top one for us. We really like the kaarage as well, it's got a sweet sauce drizzled over it already. Comes with tartar sauce but to us, not really needed! Service was great here - Amanda was the only staff running the front when we went and she made the meal that much better. read more

My nephew craved ramen lately so we decided to find a few places to try. We decided to come here after I got off work. Guess what? Best ramen decision ever!! When we arrived we were seated pretty quickly. My nephew ordered the Ajitama Ramen. I tried some of the broth and wanted more lol it was so rich in flavor. It wasn't too salty. It was a perfect bowl of ramen. The noodles were fresh and tasty. I literally wanted to just take his bowl lol I ordered the Spicy Tsukemen (dipping) Ramen. It was okay, imo. The noodles were thicker and not as soft. I actually was a bit tired from chewing it lol the broth was cooked with fish sauce so it was salty. I also find it annoying to keep dipping the noodles into the sauce broth lol this also made the noodle and broth cold quicker. I am not a fan. I rather order 2 bowls of the Ajitama ramen lol Maybe the Ajitama ramen was just too good lol =] i m still thinking of it. Recently, I tried this other ramen place. It made me realized that Tsujita here in SG is such a gem! Why go the distance...one of the best ramen places is just nearby =] read more

The ramen and style of ramen is good for what it is. Not crazy about this restaurant after giving it another try.

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Ramen Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Sophisticated Ramen. Their original location on Sawtelle has 5K Yelp reviews mostly positive. Los Angeles foodies love this place! Tsujita specialty is the "Dipping Ramen", where the soup and noodles comes separately and you dip the cold thick yellow noodles into the piping hot ramen broth. Regular Pork Tonkotsu ramen are also an option on the menu, as well as, vegan ramen. The broth for the dipping ramen is VERY seafood forward, but not fishy. And their Tonkotsu broth is very RICH tasting - the soup consistency reminds me of milk creamer. Not sure if ld order the Tonkotsu ramen here again. Overall the dipping ramen (tsukemen) was done nicely just not my preference for ramen. Not their fault. My Yelp buddy did recommend their sister restaurants: Killer Noodle Tsujita and Annex Tsujita for a different style of ramen and I look forward to going there. Service here is outstanding. Very polite and accommodating. Parking can be found underground and it's free! read more

It's the right time for ramen since the weather calls for a delicious meaty tasty soup. Found Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle in San Gabriel area. Cece, welcomed us with a friendly smile and hand us the menu. She ask if it was our first time and we said yes so she explained the way the soup is serve and what kind of broth they are in. So helpful in choosing the kind of soup we are going to order. Got the deluxe tonkatsu not spicy ( it was yummy) and hubby ordered the spicy deluxe tonkatsu ( he loved it). We also ordered the karaage. Coming back here since California cold weather is around the corner. Love the simplicity of the place too.... Very clean and average noise and they have private parking.

Not worth the wait and definitely does not live up to the hype. The service was okay, nothing to really comment on. One thing that really bothered me though, was how sticky the table and condiment containers were. Sadly, the sticky table and condiment containers were not the worst thing about this visit... We ordered the Chashu Tsukemen, Chashu Tonkatsu Ramen and Chicken Kaarage. Here's my review below. Chashu Tsukemen - 2/10 The overall consistency of the dipping broth was starchy and gelatinous, and had a very fishy bland flavor to it. The thick sliced chashu was very dry and chewy. The thick noodles were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Chashu Tonkatsu Ramen - 3/10 The broth was okay... it tasted very generic, like the powder from an instant noodle packet. The thin sliced chashu was very chewy. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. Chicken Kaarage - 5/10 The best thing we ordered, but not because it was exceptionally good... it was just that everything else was pretty mediocre. The chicken was crispy and tender, but extremely salty. To sum things up, I will not be returning to this establishment to try any of the other dishes. For the value, about $60 (tip not included) for 2 people, the quality of the ingredients used tasted subpar. All the dishes we ordered were poorly executed and the restaurant really gave us an icky feeling. Please feel free to visit if you want to see what the hype is about, but I strongly recommend you steer clear if you're looking for a clean establishment with good tasting and properly executed Ramen. read more

Came here per invitations from a coworker & his wife. Parking was more ample with the underbelly parking structure. Although the space was empty the Thursday night we arrived at 6pm, by 6:45, there was a line of diners waiting on the 7-8 tables inside. I ordered their Killer Noodle ramen which, once all the contents inside were mixed together, was a splendid blend of hearty and creamy flavors without feeling too gelatinous and fatty. As a self-identified amateur spice connoisseur, I ordered the standard spice level of 3 for the Killer Noodle entree, which didn't really provide me all that much of a kick (thankfully). So much so that the next time I intend to go up in spice to ~5. My girlfriend vegan ramen tasted like a delightful Japanese style minestrone. read more

Came here on a weekday for a late dinner. I was pretty hungry and saw they had empty tables inside, so decided to try them out since I heard good things about their other locations. That was a big mistake because not only did it take a long time to get seated and our orders taken, it also took a really long time for the food to come out. Service was nonexistent as nobody refilled our waters and it was just so slow. We were there for about 2 hours because it just took so long for everything, which is unacceptable for a ramen restaurant. I guess the noodles were decent, but not worth the bad service and wait. read more
