A stripped-down Palms counter built around a dense, fatty tonkotsu base that holds its own against dedicated ramen houses across the Westside. The format is pure function—order, sit, eat—which works in its favor when you want a solo bowl without ceremony. Regulars rotate between the black garlic and spicy variations, but the draw is the broth itself, rich enough to justify the no-frills setup.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy Ramen, Black Garlic Ramen, Original Ramen
What Makes it Special: A no-frills Palms noodle counter built around a rich, fatty tonkotsu broth that ranks among the Westside's best

Must-Try Dishes:
Sinaloa-style baked rolls, Spicy tuna roll with house sauces, Cucumber-wrapped fresh roll
What Makes it Special: A Japanese-Mexican Sinaloa sushi truck that’s hard to find elsewhere nearby.
