    Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Times.

    This week, he reviews Anzutei Ramen, a Nagoya-style ramen chain in Downtown LA. Serving a spicy Chinese-style tantanmen made from both tonkotsu (pork bone) and chicken broth, they also feature miso and shio(salt) ramen on their menu.

    Jonathan’s picks: Try the tantanmen and the shio ramen.

    Location: 633 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014 (213) 688-0011 | Anzutei Facebook page

    Pro-tip: It’s cash-only.
