Menyashinmei Sakaesukairuten — Restaurant in Nagoya

I ate here with my young son last week while we were on vacation in Nagoya. The rest of my family wanted to eat at another ramen chain that didn't have food he'd eat, so we split off from them. It's in the Skyle Mall on the 9th floor with other eateries.

I had some trouble with the menu at first because they just give you a QR code to order from, and my phone didn't have great reception, but it worked eventually, which was good because the online menu had an English version. Great for tourists like me. The food was delicious! I particularly loved the nori "bowl" on the ramen, which had a really delicious broth and a perfectly cooked egg.

Their food was priced very reasonably. I got the bean sprout salad and edamame, and they gave so much bean sprouts that I couldn't eat it all, even though I liked it. Their gyoza was yum, and my son enjoyed his karaage and rice. The food came quickly. We were...

First of all it took me a while in the evening to find the place, the only entrance is thought the basement, so you have to go into the underground maze enter the building from there and take the elevator up to 9th floor.

I chose the clear broth ramen style. Price is fair, service was good. Some people might have a problem with ordering via QR code, but I found it very easy. No English menu available, but on the other hand also not really needed.

The Ramen was solid. A lot of pepper, quite intense fish flavors. The noodles on the thinner side with a nice bite. I probably wouldn't need that kind of bolder style every day, but it's nice for once in a while....

Solid ramen spot! Plenty of different options to choose from, as well as gyoza and rice.

It's a small spot, so you'll likely wait a little bit. But it moves fast. Don't forget to put your name on the wait list (tablet) though, because staff doesn't address anyone. You also place orders through a QR code on your phone. Seating is pretty cramped, so if you don't like cozying up to your seat neighbor, this might not be for you. If you're at the high top, you might be gazing into the eyes of the person opposite of you. Also, the playlist was a weird mix of randomness.

Anyway... Ramen was solid, that's what you should come for,...
