An Ode To Ramen: Top Restaurants To Get The Best Ramen
Comfort food is a weakness to most and ramen can be an ultimate weakness. Ramen is a Japanese traditional noodle soup dish. It’s made up of many ingredients such as Chinese wheat noodles, meat or fish-based broth, soy sauce or miso, with toppings such as sliced meat, a boiled egg, bean sprouts, and scallions. As we enter the winter months, a big bowl of ramen has been on my mind.
Here are some restaurants with best ramen in the U.S.
KinNoTori Ramen – Atlanta, GA
KinNoTori stands out from the crowd from their broth alone. Instead of a pork broth they use a homemade chicken broth, and pairs the ramen with a piece of crispy fried chicken right on top.

Menya Jiro – New York City, NY
Menya Jiro which originally hailed with Japan, made it’s way to NYC in 2016 & has been named the best Ramen in the city for years. The secret? They still get all of their ingredients shipped from Japan for a true authentic taste. Recommendations: Ibusuki and Grand Slam Ramen

Tsujita LA – Los Angeles, California
I hope you like waiting in line (we promise it’s worth it). This ramen bar, which is open until 2am, is a crowd favorite in L.A. Probably, not now due to COVID, but hopefully in the near future of 2021.
