This is where I realized what a good ramen soup is. A pleasure. Delicious! Come here again and again with pleasure. Simple, fast and very good. For me as a European a more special place to enjoy the simple Japanese cuisine.

I visited this restaurant on two occasions while in Tokyo back in 2017. I regret not going there a third or fourth time, ha. It was something that has stuck with me for so long and I was disappointed to see I never wrote a review for a place that really holds a spot in my heart. FOOD AND ORDERING - They are English friendly. Could you converse with the staff in English? Possibly not. Could you order whatever your heart desires off the menu? For sure! I didn't feel limited ordering off the menu with my (regrettable) lack of knowledge of Japanese. The English menu was great. This place felt very accessible to a tourist especially considering the doors stay open until late at night. Their broth and noodles were great. Their steamed buns were excellent! NOTE - I do recall their steamed buns only being available between certain times. As a result the second time I went I order the gyoza, which was great. ATMOSPHERE - This is the reason I fell in love with this place and feel so compelled to write a review. Don't get me wrong, the food alone is worth coming back for, but to put it differently, if I need a 'happy place' to go to in my head, this is one of them. It's charmingly located right near a crosswalk. If you walk up to the place at night, especially while coming up from the train station, the welcoming glow of the lights coax you in to take a closer look. The place is really cozy without being tight. If you choose to sit at the bar like I did, it's a cool place to sit back and observe. Something to note about this place - It was never too busy like other ramen places I visited late at night. There were a handful of other restaurants I went to late into the night with 40 minute waits. I will be visiting Tokyo again at some point and returning to this restaurant is definitely on the list of places to visit.

Quick service and the noodles were tasty! Nice hearty broth with very tender pork slices! The noodles were cooked al dente. Gyoza is a popular side dish for these noodles and it was freshly cooked, came out very hot!

Amazing place. The staff is really nice. The noodles are amazing. I ve been there like 4 times and tried different types of noodles, the crispy pork dan dan soup is my favorite. Creamy crispy and falvorfull. I loved this place and it was one of my favorites. The shop is pretty small but the service is fast and the prices are cheap. You have free rice refill as well.

The most blue collar place in Akasaka. Quick & dirty but incredibly tasty Some of the best price performance in the neighborhood as well Go spicy and don't forget the shumai

Thin and firm noodle with delicious broth. I took the spicy and sour ramen. The broth was flavorful and light. I dont feel heavy after finish a bolw. Siewmai was also really good. I came here 2 days in a row.

Great Japanese style soup Dandan-men (Chinese spicy ramen). I ordered the one with a braised pork belly on it. The best part of this ramen was the texture of the noodles. It is thin but it was keeping it firmness in a good level. It’s able to choose the spice level but normal was not enough spice for me. I want to try medium spicy option next time. You can get bowl of rice for free.

A distinct sesame sauce flavor ramen, good service and their gyoza is big.

Amazing Dan-Dan noodles! We came in Tokyo close to midnight on a rainy Monday. As you can imagine were extremely hungry and pretty much everything was closed. A hotel staff member advised to walk down the street to find options. We were welcome by whom we think are the owners, extremely polite and friendly people. Didn't really know what to order and were so lucky to hit the jackpot: #5 in the menu. As we understood a soup made out of sesame seeds and curry. Accompanied with noodles (#ramen) and golden fried pork strips. Absolutely delicious! So much so that we came back a second time because we couldn't resist it. Highly recommended! 🍜🍚🥘

Cash Yen only. First time trying this place. Broth was so tasty ! You can choose the spiciness level.

Here we had our best ramen in Tokyo, we even returned there a week later to experience that amazing taste. All tourists want to eat at places where locals eat. This is the one. Try it!

Decent ramen. The gyoza was quite good. The soup was a little bit salty for me. Order can be made using simple English. The payment can only be done using cash.

Super friendly staff. Speaks English for those who need it. The taste of soups is phenomenal!

Friendly staff. They offered us English menus when we were struggling to translate. The ramen was very good. My only complaint was how the seats are stationary and cannot be moved, it was very tight sitting next to people which is common in Japan, but this was very crowded. Overall I would return here again and try other things.

Great ramen place in Tokyo near Akasaka area, pork dan dan noodles is great and the gyozas are amazing and homemade, went there twice in 5 days : )

I have been there since I was in the Ginza Toshiba Building. The number of stores has increased considerably. The taste is the same no matter where you go. It is always delicious. If it was harder than this, I would not have passed for over 30 years.

5 stars for the food & the service! This is not a 5 star restaurant, rather a VERY good small noodle shop. The seating is rather cramped and it is a small shop, but the quality and value makes it a must visit. Will probably become my go-to noodle shop in this part of Tokyo.
