Pictured are the Tokyo Style with Soup and the Downtown Style with Soup (more red with chilli oil on top).The base of both these bowls is pretty much the same. I think the only difference is the ratio of certain ingredients. I prefer the Downtown version because it's more balanced overall. I think there was way too much nuts flavor in the Tokyo version. I didn't understand why they added so much ungrinded sesame seeds. I think fine-grinding the sesame seeds would've added similar flavor while making it much smoother to slurp. Or perhaps the Tokyo version with no soup would've been a better choice ?

I liked Dan Dan Noodle and used be there at least once a month. But the quality becomes not tasty like before. The chef was probably changed.

My order: Tokyo Style Soup.The soup had a great taste and was freshly made, flavor wise, it had a nutty taste with szechuan peppers if I'm not wrong.Safe Parking place, the parking attendant was doing a great job and very respectful.

Killer Noodle is a good spot to grab noodles on Sawtelle. The noodles are a bit mundane but there is good flavor, and a lot of spice, if you want it. The service is good too.Vegetarian options: Some of the dishes are offered or made vegetarian. There is a decent selection of tofu or non-meat dishes the menu.

DAMN! The best killer noodles! The noodles can go as hot as you want, from a scale of 1 through 6. My limit is 3 but I'm more comfortable with a level 2. Even at 2, I'm sweating. Every now and then, when I'm in a mood to torture myself with amazing spices, I go here. Try it, you will understand!

Had the best ramen of my life at this establishment (Tokyo Ramen). I love how you get to choose a level of spice AND numbness for your ramen, an interesting twist. Ramen was so good I ordered another helping when I was done with the first and stuffed myself until I could barely walk without doubling over. This place always has a line, and rightfully so.

Food was not bad - the customization options for spice and numbness are great. The noodle dishes themselves are tasty but still left me feeling like something was lacking. The overall vibe of the place is fun and casual.

Not extraordinary but pretty good ramen, I would come back again but I wouldn’t crave it. I’m not into grounded meat in ramen, which is the case. I’d rather ramen with more toppings and less focus on the broth and its spiciness. Their spice is really good though, at least according to my adventurous friends who got level 4. It builds up, so the first bite might not be that strong but the more you eat it, the more intense it gets.
Great for getting some spicy ramen! The food is great and the atmosphere is a cozy bar. It does get quite loud but it’s at an acceptable level.Vegetarian options: The tokyo and downtown ramen both have vegetarian options.

Everything was great except they only had one server for the restaurant. She was really nice but spread really thin, not a good way to run a business. I had to ask for water twice and still didn't get any. Hard to enjoy a meal without water. The food was really tasty tho. Hopefully they will work on this.
