Ramen Bull Series at Bread Bar

Los Angeles has its fair share of good food… and you can believe that Albertine & Odette are the first ones to eat at most noteworthy places around town… but rarely does something come along that is so extraordinarily delicious, so close to perfection that after only one bite, it is haunting. Our latest obsession is Bread Bar’s Ramen Bull Series. A pop-up beef-centric ramen shop presided over by chef Noriyuki Sugie of Ironnori Concepts.The ramen is like nothing we have ever eaten in the U.S.. It truly tastes like ramen you get in Japan. And the menu has innovative flavors like oxtail (our favorite), and braised short rib (not to worry vegetarian friends, they have you covered with an off-menu version). No matter which creation you select, each bowl comes with the most perfectly cooked mushrooms and a gorgeous elegantly soft egg. To compliment your bowl of heaven, we recommend the house made Hibiscus Tea Soda (which mixes rather beautifully with Champagne, FYI). In one week we have visited  twice and had to restrain ourselves from a third visit.

This is as good as food gets! Hurry along because the pop-up shop ends on September 30, 2011.

Note: Bread Bar does not serve alcohol, but allows for BYOB, with no corkage. Kompai!
