OrochonOrochon over in Little Tokyo is one of the best Ramen places I’ve ever been to. Granted I’ve only been to a couple handfuls of places, but damn is this one worlds above the rest. It comes in at an extremely close 2nd to Shin Sen Gumi. Thanks to RJ for taking us here a while back, I’ve been there more than a handful of times since then.

Scallops!Spicy scallops for the appetizer.

Okinawan draftOrion. By far my favorite J-Beer. Orochon and Shin Sen are the one of the few Ramen joints that carry it.

MenuAlright, so here’s the dil’. You choose your soup base, then your spice level and then your toppings. I’m at a tame 5. That’s already enough to get me sweating.

Shio, go, chashuDAMN good Ramen. The Chashu is heaven! Insanely tender, nice and fatty. Helps me maintain my heffer status.

LA SkylineHere’s a shot of the LA skyline from Lil’ Tokyo. Calming, almost serene even.

Whoa..Went to Dave n’ Busters afterwards for a friend’s thing. Saw this one Go-Kart game..
