Mensho Tokyo
Ramen. Modern and busy, upscale-neighborhood feel, in Downtown · 575 reviews on Google
The house has Michelin recognition and a constant line in Culver City. The personal service (staff praised by name) is a strong plus, but the high price and the wait at peak times come up often in reviews.
A creamy, extremely rich chicken broth, cited as one of the best ramen in LA, with the Signature Ramen and the chashu trio (pork, duck and wagyu) standing out.

You have to try the signature Toripaitan, with a trio of wagyu, pork and duck chashu.

Before you go
A line and a wait to get a table at peak times, especially at night and on weekends.
