There Are Two Different Ramen Pop-Ups In Downtown Next Week
We've got not one, but two ramen pop-ups happening downtown Los Angeles this week. First, There's going to be a pop-up ramen shop at Nest at WP24 at the Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles offering bespoke bowls of ramen.
There are only three chances, at the moment, to snag a bowl of this very tasty sounding ramen: Thursday, June 30; Thursday, August 4; and Thursday, August 25 from 5 to 9 p.m.
The bowls start with house-made ramen noodles in a broth made over the course of three days with pork bones and duck bones and chicken stock. Then, they add sesame, scallion, bean sprouts and sweet summer corn. That'll cost you $7, and you can add other toppings including chili-marinated bamboo shoots, market vegetables and Santa Barbara spot prawns.
Nest at WP24 is located at 900 W Olympic Blvd. in downtown Los Angeles, 213-743-8824.

There will also be a ramen-centric FEASTLY pop-up next week Tuesday, June 28 from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the Arts District. Chefs Luke Reyes and Phillip Frankland Lee will be previewing Oh Man! Ramen, slated to open this summer in Encino.
Guests will be able to try chicken wings in honey fermented chili glaze; salmon sashimi; chilled spicy noodles with steamed mussels, yuba, fermented chili oil, scallion, ginger and fried shallot; and lettuce with egg, avocado, crispy jowl, edamame and nori sesame ranch. That all comes family-style, and you'll get your own bowl of tonkotsu ramen, with braised pork belly, roasted pork shoulder, pickles shiitake mushroom and bonito. Drinks include Sapporo beer and a Tiki punch made with rum, ginger syrup, honey and lemon.
The location of this pop-up is in the Arts District, but the exact address is only revealed once you've purchased tickets. $65/person.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
