Eric and I recently visited Saikai Ramen Bar in Los Angeles, CA, and were blown away by their Gyukotsu bowl. We decided to add the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu ribeye cap for an extra $15, and it was worth every penny. The creamy and delicious broth was made from 36-hour beef marrow, shredded brisket, seasoned shiitake, green onion, and mirepoix oil. Every spoonful was breathtakingly delicious, and I found myself taking additional sips until the very last drop of broth was gone and all the wagyu beef melted from my mouth.
In addition to the ramen, we also ordered the chicken karaage, which was cooked to perfection, and crispy lotus chips that complemented our meal perfectly. While the dining area was a bit small, it's to be expected in Los Angeles. The minimalistic décor gave the restaurant a modern vibe, which added to the overall experience. Definitely try to get here early because parking is very limited.
I enjoyed the meal so much that he finished the bowl to the very last drop and we plan on coming back again soon. Saikai Ramen Bar is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a great bowl of ramen in Los Angeles.
