Silverlake Ramen’s tonkotsu brings all the boys to the yard — so be prepared to wait in line. A rich tonkotsu broth cooked for 16 hours with thick cuts of chashu pork belly, green onions, spicy chili paste and super chewy noodles: that’s what you should order on your first trip to Silverlake Ramen. Then you can explore the likes of tsukemen, chicken shoyu, or mazemen… But you’ll eventually come back to the tonkotsu after all.
