    Perfect experience, reasonable prices and delicious food. Even the restrooms were clean and set in order. It started with the waiter finding us a table even though the restaurant was full. Then the menu and options were plenty with the waiters more than able to explain the menu and they had great recommendations. When the food arrived the waiter showed us how to best serve it and prepared a sauce for us. All the portions were perfect i cluding the desserts

    I don’t know, sorry. When I thought I’m going to eat Raman, thought about deep flavor, but nothing. Basic soup with some vegetables. Sorry but it’s not for me. The pictures are great but no the dishes.

    After many recommendations, me and my husband went to eat in the restaurant, it was full and we waited about an hour to get in. When we finally got in, we sat at the bar and ordered chicken ramen soup. The water of the soup tasted a bit strange but eating it with the egg, chicken and other additions you could not taste the weird taste of the water. When we sat at the bar we saw how the chefs are making the food, they hold 5 bowls at once, one is helded with the chin, they keep talking while doing that and almost spit at the bowl at COVID time! After a day we got severely sick with Salmonella and now it has been a week after we ate there and we still haven't recovered. Please avoid this place.

    If it's called a Ramen bar - it has to have a good ramen. Ramen is far from being a good one. The noodles are factory made, the broth isn't flavourful as it has to be in a place like this. The service is not bad by the way.

    They used to have beef ramen, it was good. Salmon chirashi and pork gyoza are tasty. Tried pork ramen, way too fat, hard to eat. Today ordered sushi for the first time here, have never seen such small rolls 🤯 58 shekels for such dish is not funny, the average price in the city for such roll in the same level restaurants is less and it’s a decent size dish there. The waiters are always friendly and nice.

    Men Ten Ten is definitely one of my favorite restaurant in Tel Aviv, Israel. The main chief is from Japan and all ingredients they use I believe is all from Japan. That’s why the taste is very authentic! This is definitely rare to find in Israel. The chief is so kind and friendly! The soup he cook definitely worthy to go there to try out! Highly recommended to solo traveler, with friends and family. Must try! I will definitely go again if I visit Israel again for sure.

    The place itself is okay but too expensive from my eyes for what it offers. The food is pretty ordinary. I tried ramen with chicken, it was super salty, boring ingredients inside, cold noodles. For the price of more than 70 ILS I have definitely expected more. Also, I felt that it was too heavy and couldn’t digest it for 5 hours. I don’t recommend ordering Ramen here, it is too far from authentic. Sushi was pretty good with a lot of fish inside. But honestly the place doesn’t provide great service, mixed orders couple of times and in general is not very welcoming. I would not go again.

    I FELT SICK because I ate so much! Best Ramen in Israel. Period. It feels like you took a stroll down to Japan with an awesome service, making sure your table is clean everytime. The prices are average for a Tel Aviv restaurant. Just go.

    As a ramen connoisseur, I love exploring local ramen joints, and Men Tenten didn't disappoint. It was an overall great dining experience, but I recommend making a reservation a day or two in advance as they get quite busy most evenings and have waitlists of 15-20 minutes. While the food was flavorful, the ramen broth lacked the deep richness you'd expect. The service was laidback and didn't check on us often, which could be a positive or negative depending on your preference. Personally, I would've preferred a little more attention. Nonetheless, the playlist and vibe were great.

    Almost worth traveling internationally just to come back here. —- This is an exquisite restaurant. I would never expect to try this quality of ramen outside of Japan. The service was incredibly friendly and personal, even for a busy night. They accommodated my brothers baby stroller, and the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality. I can’t recommend them enough.

    It's a good idea to eat soup in winter. The ramen pork was really tasty. I will recommend 👍

    Way way overrated, the Ramen is very disappointing. Served a bit warm, the taste reminds of the instant soup. The meat was fatty not treated right, very slow service. Do yourself a favor, skip this one.

    It was one of my favorite place but this time is disappointed. Pork ramen is overpriced, small quantity and not hot enough (same as before though), I didn’t feel taste of soup and lot of spring onions with big shape ruin the taste and flavor of Ramen itself.

    Chicken ramen: I was a little disappointed in it. The broth was very salty and not very tasty. Yakitori: l loved the idea of them having these traditional Japanese skewers - I have not found a lot of places in Israel that do them. I had the chicken wings, veal tongue and pork belly - all were decent. Overall: portions were small for the price. Not the best in the world but I would come back if I’m craving yakitori in Israel. Maybe next time I’ll try the pork ramen.

    While Tel-Aviv offers a variety of great cuisines, including its own superb interpretation of Mediterranean eclectic style, Asian cuisine has always been the step child of the local scenery. Men ten ten is one of the few exceptions. Shaped like a Japanese bar, it offers a great selection of tasty Ramens along with other complementing nibbles from the land of the rising sun. Service is welcoming and professional, and the addition of native japanese crew members which are gladly providing some practical tips makes it an even better experience. Mixed Giozas, Shrimp Ebi and pork spareribs were a great addition to the rich broths.

    One of the best Japanese restaurant in Tel Aviv (or Israel in general), good service and perfect area. 5 stars

  • 3/5 Dave Jans L. 6 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Atmosphere is great. Service nonchalant at best. Food is delicious but salty (thats the MidEast for ya) Kitchen equipment needs cleaning.

    Really great place for Japanese cuisine! The Ramen was fantastic and the food is so good and tasty! The vibes are cool, authentic and pleasant. Service is super fast and professional. Will be back for sure!

    Haven’t eaten ramen in years, so this was definitely a long time coming for me. The service was very quick with no standing wait time. Food arrived quickly and was tasty. The food was good, but thats it. Just good nothing extraordinary . Plus the ramen options are quite limited so you can’t really go on a flavors adventure as I hoped. But still this is a great ramen bar to eat some good ramen

  • 4/5 Lior W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with cool authentic atmosphere, really good ramen and side dishes, but dishes are too small and only a few vegan options, overall graat experience in reasonable price

  • 4/5 Local “Foodilicious” F. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe of this place alone made me want to visit again, the place isn't busy and the food arrived quickly. sat on the bar had the pork ramen which easily satisfied my hunger, salmon nigiri and the salmon quality was amazing, worth the price and highly recommended Unfortunately they no longer have mochi and the green tea teapot is getting bitter after a little while. The bathrooms are VERY clean and comfortable, I'd visit again

    We ordered ramen via Wolt and it was really good. It arrives cold in separate packaging for all components, so after heating up it is really good. The flavor is great and it is not too salty.

  • 4/5 Moriel Y. 1 year ago on Google
    In general the place is nice, good atmosphere , tasty food. In our case, we ordered chicken ramen, that was good, but the noodles were a little bit overcooked. No complaints about the rest of the food. 2 Out of 3 waitress that we saw were very friendly. All in all, nice place to visit.

    Good choice of ramen soups. We were lucky to get a table quickly, however the place looked generally busy for early Saturday evening. Service was friendly, but a bit slow

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has such authentic and amazing food!! I went to this restaurant with a friend, it was a cold winter day and the moment we entered the place, the feeling of nostalgia for Japan rushed back into me. The place constantly plays japanese music, the place has a warm atmosphere, the tables are compact and the entire style of the place is true to its roots. Now, let's talk about the amazing food this place serves. Me and my friend have ordered 2 ramens and a chicken giyoza. The ramen had a great ratio from noodles to broth, the bowl looked rather petite but it fills your stomach up to the brink of explosion. The giyoza, perfect, nothing to add. The waiters were kind and made great service! I will totally come again and bring more friends next time! Everyone I know shall experience the great quality this place provides.

  • 4/5 Monalisa Singh R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had Miso ramen and chicken dumplings, and hot sake. The ramen was good enough for the price, but surely not among the best you can get in Tel Aviv.

  • 4/5 Betty D. 2 years ago on Google
    The Ramen was ok, really loved the rest, but it felt a little overpriced

  • 4/5 Oriya Even C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is super good! Arrived at the middle of the week in the evening and there was a place when we got there, Staff was fine, loved the ramen soup it was very professional. Also nice dumplings.

  • 5/5 David R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great taste. Evrything is simply right. Service is great as well. The only HUGE issue is the insanly high price. 80 shekels for soup? It is 28 shekels downtown Toronto and their rents are crazy as well.

  • 5/5 דינה �. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good vegan ramen, kind service and good atmosphere. It's better to come before rush hour (before 8:30/9 pm) to avoid lines

  • 5/5 Alon G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Bar Amir N. 2 years ago on Google
    Came for the Ramen, absolutely delicious. Great experience overall. Only thing is I came during a peak hour and therefore it felt like the service was slow, but understandable!

👍 It’s been a few years since my last visit and the place grew a lot and is now a huge restaurant right on the port of Jaffa. The design is very impressive too. We arrived just before 1pm and had plenty of room, despite the fact that we did not have an order. Right after we sat down, the staff brought...
