Little Japan

Tanmen with Chicken

A trip to Santa Monica could end up taking you all the way to Japan! Walking up and down Sawtelle amongst the variety of noodle houses, Asahi Ramen looked the best with tons of happy guests slurping through huge bowls of fresh noodles. The gyoza, pork fried rice and yakisoba was excellent. I want to go back and try more soon.

Green Tea with Chocolate Sauce and Mint Chocolate Pieces

Blockheads Creamery around the corner from the noodle house makes a dessert that they call Snow Cream which is a combo of shaved ice and ice cream. It is delicious and looks like delicate layers of snow on the slopes.
