Tsujita Ochanomizu｜rāmen

We spent our Christmas Eve 2024 here eating their delicious ramen. We placed our order in this machine outside, pay for it by putting money into the machine, and getting some ticket:like paper strips and that's our order. The ramen chefs are amusing to hear and watch.

Authentic Japanese ramen. The menu is limited in terms of Ramen choices, but do not let that deter you what they on offer is really good, they have dipping ramen too.

We were just passing by but tempted when we saw the menu. One of the staff approached us. She doesn't know English, we don't know Japanese but she did her best to talk about the menu and invited us to eat there so we excitedly said yes. Unfortunately, they only accept cash via the vending machine. So we said our sumimasens, the staff also said sorry.

But we looked for the nearest 7/11, withdrew some cash just so we can eat here, and then we went back but we couldn't figure out how to order via the vending machine.

Another one of the staff went out to assist us. Again, it was hard to communicate because we didn't know any Japanese other than the extremely basic phrases. But she did her best and after much struggle 😅, we finally got our order tickets and were ushered inside. Yehey!

We patiently waited for our food and it was all worth it. The store was open so the hot broth tasted even better as the cold autumn wind blew. The eggs were soft-boiled to perfection and the pork was tender and flavorful. The broth of both the ramen and tsukemen were just mmmmmm. 👌 Serving size was also big. A bit disappointed that they don't serve gyoza (we always order gyoza with ramen. It's a must!) but other than that, the whole experience was great! 🩷

Bonus were the really friendly and helpful staff. They even said goodbye with big smiles on their faces.

ごちそうさまでした

So good. Quick and fast service. Great environment from the music and constant chirping from the chefs. Awesome place to get tsukemen!
