All Tatsu Ramen Locations

Find every Tatsu Ramen location in the US — addresses, reviews, and maps for all 6 Tatsu restaurants.

Tatsu Ramen is an LA-born chain that's become one of Southern California's most beloved ramen brands. What sets Tatsu apart is the customization system — you choose your broth, noodle firmness, richness level, spice, and every individual topping.

The result is a bowl calibrated exactly to your preferences, which either excites or overwhelms depending on how opinionated you are about ramen. I'm firmly in the excited camp.

The Melrose Avenue original is the spot to visit — the space has energy, the kitchen moves fast, and the tonkotsu here is genuinely excellent. Tatsu has also expanded to Elgin, Illinois and Crystal Lake, Illinois, bringing LA ramen culture to the Midwest.
