"Southern California is a great place to slurp ramen, according to Yelp, which released its list of Top 100 Ramen Shops for 2025 on Thursday, Dec. 11. Four Los Angeles County eateries made it into the top 20. Bincho in Tarzana tops the list. It opened in 2024 in space formerly occupied by Keitaro's Kitchen, a Japanese restaurant with the same chef, Toshiro Tagami. The results are based on Yelp data, which include the number of reviews and the ratings that reviewers give them."
"Bincho specializes in pork-based dishes, including its signature Tonkotsu Ramen, made with a creamy pork bone broth. Reviewers also like the clear broth and the jammy eggs. The Yelp report also lauded Yuzu Chicken Ramen, made with a "citrusy chicken broth with a slow-building heat and a refreshing finish." The menu includes chicken rice bowls and appetizers such as gyoza, karaage and edemame. Prices are in the $20 range."
