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.
Neighborhood & visiting
Torisoba Sumiya sits in Sawtelle Japantown, one of Los Angeles's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused ramen counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional ramen restaurants often close between service periods.
