The passion fruit chocolate macaron is pretty special too.

Curious about your opinion. I’m a chicken lover and rather enjoyed Tatsu’s broth. I ask because Ramen is my next frontier, especially after @Chowseeker1999’s mouth watering report. I eat a lot of it and know what tastes good to me, just not what is considered the real. Thanks!

Taste is subjective. You may enjoy Tatsu, sure. But it tastes like dishwashing graywater to me. Thus I dub Tatsu with a big, fat Zero.

If you want to try chicken ramen may I suggest Tentenyu and their tori paitan ramen

Okay, got it.

Thanks @aaqjr. I’ll check it out when on that side of town. I mostly dwell east of Robertson (Tatsu Melrose). I get that it’s probably a fast version, but it’s slim pickins’ for ramen in my 'hood. Does the Sawtelle locale even offer chicken?:thinking:

They are well known for their chicken ramen that’s why I recommended them ā€˜tori’ in japanese means bird (which in this case is chicken) and Paitan refers to the broth (usually thick from gelatine and sometimes cloudy)

You do know that the fantastic E.A.K. Ramen is right in that area, yes?

Thanks Boo. We went today. I’ll put it on a Ramen thread tonight.

To re-divert this Artelice thread back on track, the news is that Artelice Patisserie has relocated just two storefronts down, to the other side of (what used to be) Balconi Coffee…
