Echo Park, Los Angeles · restaurant
Sushi and ramen sharing the same affordable kitchen near Dodger Stadium is the kind of neighborhood bet NROO pulls off cleanly (rolls run $8) $15, with the Echo Park Roll stacking tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore and krab in soy paper, while the signature NROO Ramen runs a tonkotsu broth deep with chashu, black garlic, and umami oil. New-style sashimi (salmon with truffle oil and ponzu, yellowtail with yuzu and jalapeño) push the room a step above what the prices suggest.
