SP Japanese Ramen | A little soul in it
🏠 Barikote Ramen 🗺️ R. José Maria Lisboa, 118 - Jardim Paulista, São Paulo - SP, 01423-000 The Authentic Japanese Ramen Joint That Hits the Spot In a city flooded with ramen spots, this place stands out for serving legit Japanese flavors—no fusion gimmicks here. First bite had me like, "Where has this been all my life?!" 🍜 🍲 The Noodle Nerd’s Dream Signature Tonkotsu Ramen: Creamy pork bone broth that’s rich but not overwhelming, perfectly al dente noodles (choose your texture!), and melt-in-your-mouth chashu. Spicy Version & Chicken Donburi: Friends tried these and gave two thumbs up—no sad, watered-down broths here. Side Notes: Seaweed salad was fresh, but the puffs dessert felt… pre-packaged. Still tasty, just not "handmade with love" vibes. 🪑 Ambiance: Cozy Counter Culture Sit-at-the-Counter Vibe: Like a mini omakase experience! Watch chefs knead noodles, ladle broth, and assemble bowls right in front of you. Self-Order Machine: Japanese-style vending machine for ordering—no awkward small talk needed. Perfect for introverts 👍. Tiny Seating: Get here early or brace for a wait—there’s only a handful of counter spots. 💰 Price & Portion Reality 74 R$ per person: Steep for a casual meal, but worth it for the authenticity. Small Portions Alert: Great for light eaters, but big appetites might need an extra side. Sad trombone for my empty stomach post-meal. No Soft-Boiled Egg: Egg is tender, just not runny. fans, prepare for mild disappointment. 🌟 Who Should Slurp Here Ramen purists craving authentic tonkotsu People who love interactive dining (watching chefs work is low-key hypnotic) Introverts who prefer ordering via machine over humans #SaoPauloRamen #JapaneseCuisine #AuthenticEats #CounterSeating #FoodieFind
