Tsujita Artisan Noodle

Glad I beat the lunch rush, and attained a seat at the bar looking into the kitchen where the magic was happening. This quaint little spot tucked away in the corner of the Strawberry Plaza next to the Mitsuwa has won a special place in my heart. From the moment you walk in, you're transported to Japan, with the decor, ambiance, and all the staff greeting the customers in tandem. I tried two items on the menu, and both were excellent. The Karage (fried chicken) perfectly executed, juicy, yet crispy, accompanied by a sweet chili mayo dipping sauce. The Spicy Ramen, with tender noodles, loads of meat, and a decadent jammy soft egg. The broth was rich, full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. Loved every drop!

Tsujita is a artisan tsukumen noodle shop that is popular in LA This plaza is super hard to find parking so account for 5mins as they also won’t let you in unless your full party is there Their regular tsukumen was solid! Comparatively the LA location’s soup was thicker and chewier noodles but overalll still good! Their karaage was very good and unique and definitely is a must try And lastly their salmon donburi bowl was solid in case anyone in ur party doesn’t want noodles Overall would come again!

I enjoyed the tsukemen much more than others. The food here is delicious and flavorful. The wait seemed to be about a 20-30 min wait when we went which was on the weekend. They do not take reservations so it is first come first serve. If you have a large party they may ask you to split up as the restaurant space is not very big. This part is only for my fellow Spicy food lovers 🌶️🥵🌶️: The only complaints I have are that the only way to have your food spicy is if you order their “Spicy Takana”. I wish they at the very least had Shichimi togarashi powder on each table. Overall, this place was good. I would come back if I was craving tsukemen and if the wait wasn’t too bad. I also really enjoy my food spicy so I would think twice before coming here and add $4 just to be able to enjoy spicy

Everything here was outstanding from start to finish. The ramen was rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful — the broth had real depth, the chashu was incredibly tender, and the egg was cooked perfectly. You can tell a lot of care goes into every bowl. The green tea beer deserves special mention. It was surprisingly refreshing and very well balanced, with subtle herbal notes and a light bitterness from the green tea that blended beautifully with the hops. Smooth, clean, and not heavy at all. The green tea flavor was present but never overpowering, adding a unique and elegant finish. What really impressed me was how well the beer paired with the ramen — it cut through the richness of the broth perfectly and made the whole experience even better. Great food, excellent craft beer, cozy atmospher

This ramen shop has several locations in Japan, and it was just as delicious as the ones there. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. This time, I had the tsukemen (dipping noodles), but I’d like to try the tonkotsu ramen next time. They also had a variety of rice dishes like chashu don, which all looked really tasty!
