Hehe.
Just beiing real. The casual atmosphere of many of the Japanese restaurants that serve delicious food lends itself well to a gregariously good time if I end up going with certain people.

I'm not among the virtuous...
If I'm going to drink solo I'll usually park my a$$ at home, but I've sworn that off for the time being as well. Back to the gym 5 times a week after a hiatus that was far too long.
No more hunting around town for delicious eats for a while.

Well that guy has blogged about ramen all over Japan too. So I guess in relation to some of the superb offerings he's had there it doesn't compare perhaps. Having said that I don't always follow his recommendations to the letter; however, it's worth a visit if he's blogged about it unless he's giving it a horrendously low score perhaps. For me Daikokuya stands out because of their kurobuta chashu which is still melt in your mouth tender but there are other ramen joints in L.A. which I think have caught up or passed Daikokuya in general.
I think back in the day though, LA WEEKLY's Jonathan Gold set that place of fire with a good review, which they undoubtedly earned. In any event, Daikokuya's success is largely responsible for the ramen boom in L.A. the last 5 years or so.
I was in L. A. late in the afternoon yesterday and because of the traffic we decided to stop in Little Tokyo for dinner. I normally don't eat ramen this often but we ended up at Daikokuya. We had the tonkotsu ramen and it was quite good. The kurobuta chashu, like you mentioned, melted in our mouths and the broth was tasty, too. It's a very small place but people kept coming in to eat. Another good recommendation! Thanks!

Daikokuya is always uber-busy: people are typically waiting outside to get in when the place opens.
