About
Torisoba Sumiya opened on West Olympic Boulevard in 2024 as Sumiya's first Los Angeles location. The concept centers on tori shio (salt-based chicken) ramen: whole chickens are grilled over open flames before the carcasses are used to build a rich, smoky broth. The Infatuation notes 'a depth that's a world apart from the typical chicken broth.' The group operates as a direct Japan-to-LA import.
