Too Much Tsujita Annex - Los Angeles

What do you call too much with way too much? Some call it excessive. Others call it David Yurman and Mikimoto. I can't afford to call it any of those things so I call it Tsujita Annex.

It's hard to watch everyone else flaunting fabulous when you're strapped with med school debt in a conspicuously consumptive city. But just because no one put a Cartier ring on that...hand holding the chopsticks doesn't mean you can't have the most luxurious broth in all of LA.

The Ramen with Char Siu is loaded with a broth of liquid gold with ropes of ramen noodles as thick as Yurman's signature cable. The bunches of bean sprouts crisscross like the cable-enhancing crossover, and the precious pearls of floating fat are as close to Mikimoto I'll ever get. 

The only thing better than one piece of David Yurman jewelry is two pieces of David Yurman jewelry, and the only thing better than one bowl of kotteri ramen is three bowls of kotteri ramen in one. The broth at the Annex is by far the thickest almost-solid bowl-of-fat I've ever had, but all that richness is both satiating and overwhelming all at once. Eating at Tsujita Annex is exactly like walking into a Yurman store, actually. I get an unspeakable pleasure from sampling the luxuries...until the richness of the price hits me and punches me in the gut.
