Of course, there are a ton of ramen spots in Little Tokyo. The most popular would be Shin Sen Gumi and Daikokuya, but today I’m here to represent the underdogs! One of those would be Manichi Ramen, which is exactly next door to Daikokuya.

The wait time at Daikokuya is usually an hour long, but it is worth the wait! But if you’re really hungry, you can just go next door. I wouldn’t say it’s better, but it is actually pretty good. I’m surprised there isn’t any more people here!

Pro tip: If you like spicy, ask for their homemade chili paste!
