A Michelin-mention ramen place graces a stall in a Gardena mall.
Tucked amongst the likes of bao powerhouse Nikuman-ya and family favorite Beard Papa, Ramen Tao tosses its humble head with a roaring Spicy Red Miso Ramen that has some serious burn. The broth is so creamy and thick that it's practically a solid, and the red miso asserts a salty pungence. Still, the broth is balanced, making savory waves in your mouth.
Same for the Jiro Tsukemen, another hard-hitting broth that clings to each dipped noodle. Skip the Jiro style, though; the cabbage cools the broth too fast and the bean sprouts make it a little bit sour.
Umenoya makes the best chashu, but Ramen Tao competes with their broth. These miso-heavy concoctions are well-balanced yet assuredly unique, making for a ramen encounter as mesmerizing as it is memorable.
