This is not a traditional ramen spot. They use Chinese spice (mala) to bring the heat, and does not work for me. The original is the best and only good one, but this is better than Annex, I guess.
Decent fusion ramen place. Dan dan noodles (which are Chinese) in ramen form is interesting and pretty tasty. Spice level 3 is not that spicy for someone that loves spicy food. Portions are filling!
Tokyo Style with level 5 on spice and numbness! So rich and creamy!
Delicious spicy take on ramen. You can choose how spicy u want it 0 to insane, and dry or with broth. Highly recommend for lovers of spice and spice novices too
The pork bun was great. The side of spicy chicken was cold and definitely spicy, but good.
The best. Spice level 3 is plenty and get it with soup and extra pork. No reservations and cash only.
My new fave spot in Sawtelle! Get the Tokyo style noodles with the delicious sesame broth & don’t wimp out on the numbing level. I always go for at least 3 spicy and 4 numbing (out of 6).
Don't come here. Got an "egg" with my ramen that was raw
When they say spicy, they really mean spicy
Tokyo style was great.
What’s different about Killer Noodle is its clear homage to the spicy Chinese-inflected tantanmen, with sesame and pepper-laden noodles that come in either soups or “dry” style platters. Cash only.
Get the Tokyo, level 3 spice, with the egg, cilantro and pork belly and you will not be disappointed
Tokyo style (spicy level 3) is a lot more peanuty and way less spicy than I expected, whereas the Downtown style is more numbing. Overall pretty good food, but not great enough for me to visit again.
Fave: Tokyo w/no soup 3/3 + egg;
I recommend the Tokyo noodles with char siu, 3 numbness and 4 spicy. The broth is very spicy but also has a rich nutty flavor. One of the best bowls I’ve ever had.
I like the Tokyo noodle a little more cause it has a more distinct peanut and sesame taste. Add the poached egg and char siu. I like spicy and the 3-4 was a good heat. Cash only.
Tokyo Style is amazing. Go with a 3 level spicy if it’s your first time. Pro tip: they WILL NOT take the food back if you make it too spicy. 🌶
