The ramen was delicious. Tried the Miso Butter Corn Ramen on the first night, the flavoring was good, almost verging on too salty. The ramen given was generous with tons of corn and beansprout. Tried the spicy leek miso ramen the second night. It did not disappoint! The spice level was mild, so no worries for people who can't take much spice. Tons of ramen, leek and beansprout given also. Overall pricing is good and really good value.

Tasty ramen that can be found in the evening, in a city where everything seems to close early.
No, this is not the type of ramen that you will crave months from now, but it was tasty, service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable.
Sometimes you just need a hot bowl of soup on a cold day.
(I don't recommend the "spicy" leek miso ramen. It was not spicy, and the pile of raw onions overwhelmed all other flavors. This opinion comes from someone who loves extra negi in his ramen).

Starting with the fact that for Nikko standards, the place atays open quite late (~9 pm). The spicy leek miso char siu ramen was truly great - flavorful miso broth, thick noodles, well-balanced spice- and salt-wise, and excellent bbq pork on top. That’s definitely a dish to order. The dumplings were quite good, though a bit greasy. Both went at ~ 1600¥, while the service was fast and attentive.

No frills, quality ramen joint. Small line that moves fairly quickly(even off peak lunch hours). Most ramen restaurants are too small to accommodate a group, but this place has big tables and fair prices. We went two days in a row because it was so delicious. Miso butter corn ramen was our favorite.
There are a variety of seating (bar stool, booth, traditional floor table). Simple menu done well. Parking available. English menu on the back, takes credit card.
