Since I consider myself a ramen aficionado here is my top 5:
1. Tsujita LA - best ramen, best tsukemen, best everything trust me.
2. Ramen Yamadaya - I've only tried the Costa Mesa location but it's bomb and the original Torrance one should be too.
3. Ramen Jinya - locations in Studio City and soon in West LA on Sawtelle by the 405. (chicken ramen is amazing but they got fatty rich pork tonkotsu style too)
4. Fujin Ramen - best option in the San Gabriel Valley, made by a master chef
5. Asa Ramen - in Torrance, amazing roasted pork bone flavor but only open at night so that sucks
Honorable mention: Foo Foo Tei, amazing variety and they do it all an do it great but they lack focus on one ramen to make it spectacular.
Now its time for Hater-ade: Daikokuya is pretty shitty nowadays so just avoid please, not worth the wait at the Little Tokyo location it's all hype. Trust me.
I generally agree with this list. I really wanted to like Fujin but it just hasn't clicked for me and I would probably put Santouka or even Daikokuya or Shinsengumi over it (Fujin does have some of the best chashu I've had at a place in Los Angeles, though.)Since I consider myself a ramen aficionado here is my top 5:

Looks cool, is it free?
Yeah it's free. If you go on opening day prepare to wait in a long line. I'll be there the first day hoping to score an Olly Moss print.
Here's some other prints that will be at the show:
Quoted since some of them are pretty big.

I WORK THERE! STOP BY ON WEEKENDS.
I'm new to LA (6 months in). Are there any arcades out here? I looked at Blipsy Barcade, but it's definitely a bar more so than about the games.

just thought I'd share.
Angelino-GAF I am pissed off and sick and I need to vent. I stopped by El Pollo Loco last night and got a couple of pieces of chicken for dinner. Fast forward to 2AM I am suddenly waking up and sprinting to the bathroom. 30 minutes and some Immodium later I am back in bed. The same thing happens at 4AM. And then at 5:45 I wake up and realize that I am about to puke. I barely make it to the bathroom but there are still tragic consequences.
This is my second week at a new job and I can't take a sick day without raising eyebrows. Plus I'm paid hourly. So now I am camped out at my desk, miserable with chills, desperately counting down to 5PM.
Thanks, El Pollo Loco.

Are you a waiter or cook? Really want to try it.
