Ramen Tatsunoya, based in Pasadena, CA, is renowned for its specialty: pork-based tonkotsu ramen, a nod to its origins in Kurume City, Fukuoka. The broth, simmered for over 15 hours with pork skull bone and water, boasts a rich yet light flavor profile, achieving the perfect umami balance.
What sets Ramen Tatsunoya apart is its dedication to authenticity, evident in the exclusive thin noodles crafted by a local artisanal noodle company using a closely guarded original recipe. The menu features signature bowls like KOKU (RICH), JUN (LIGHT), and SPICY, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
Founded in 1999 by Ryuta Kajiwara, Ramen Tatsunoya aims not only to serve exceptional ramen but also to evoke “kando” – an awe-inspiring feeling – in its patrons. With locations in Pasadena, Silver Lake, and Costa Mesa, the establishment continues to uphold its commitment to delivering genuine ramen craftsmanship, enriching the local ramen culture one bowl at a time.
