Best Tsukemen ever. The meat is so easy to chew and the broth and noodles is just 🔥. Start queueing 30 mins before open. Take note that there is only 5 open counter seats. If you are in a group of friends, would need to eat separately

This place only has 5 seats, so the queue and wait time will be slightly longer. We came around 9pm and were the last ones in the line and they put a sign out to stop the queue. Pay at the machine outside before queueing. We queued for about 1.5hrs (long!) but it was worth it. You can choose the portion size, S, M or L for the same price. Food presentation is pretty and dipping sauce tasted creamy and rich. Noodle texture had great mouthfeel! There is a little sign in English teaching you how to enjoy tsukemen too. One thing I love a lot about Japan is the zero waste and their broths!!!!!!! Once you’re finished with the noodle and dipping sauce, you can ask for their broth or soup-wari which makes the dipping sauce drinkable by thinning out the sauce. It’ll come with some condiments and a tiny portion of rice to enjoy with. You’ll feel like you want to explode after this meal though, but so good!

Incredible tsukemen, flavorful, rich, and delicious. As a 5-seat restaurant run by a couple, expect long lines upwards of an hour depending on when you arrive. The food does make up for the wait in my opinion. Orders are done via a small machine just outside the entrance which dispenses a ticket that you give to the chef through a small window he opens periodically. I took the special tsukemen option which came with all the works, and chose the medium noodle portion which was more than enough for a regular appetite I feel. The restaurant interior is cozy and clean, and it's fascinating to watch the chef prepare the meals with such incredible ingredients; there's also a small placard on the table which gives some insight into each part and ingredient of the meal (provided you can read Japanese, or Google translate it).

This one was tough. Solid 4.4 stars, which is the restaurant’s current rating while I’m reviewing, but couldn’t bring myself to round up. The presentation was amazing. The noodles and soup/broth (whatever it was) were both good. The pork was some of the best quality I’ve ever had at a ramen restaurant. The surprise at the very end was a fun twist. All that being said, the flavor wasn’t what I expected. Maybe just not my style. Would still highly recommend trying for yourself.

Delicious! The dipping broth was complex and rich. Noodles perfectly firm. All the protein were well seasoned and tender.

There were 8-9 people in the line — we waited 50 minutes, it was well worth it. The two staff were very friendly and helpful.

Went for the “special” which was 1500 yen. Definitely go for the extra soup + condiments after the meal.
