Onomichi Ramen Betcha — Restaurant in Onomichi

※With 5★ being the highest rating 【Overall】★★★★★ Would come back again if given the chance.

【Food】★★★★★ My order: 福盛べっちゃラーメン (Beccha ramen fukumori) Price: 750

Delicious Onomichi Ramen with soy sauce based soup. The difference between this restaurant and others is their use of seaweed as toppings for the dish. Overall the soup is nicely balanced with light soy sauce taste and pork fats on top. There is spicy condiments to spice things up as well. The ramen also tastes delicious spicy!

【Price】★★★★★ Price is really reasonable and is around 1000 en for most of the dishes. It’s quite similar to how a normal Ramen shop would put a price tag on its food.

【Operation/Atmosphere】★★★★ Shop owner always greets the guests well. During lunch time/dinner time you might need to line up a bit but since people tend to eat fast, it’s not that long until you can be seated in the store. There is no parking for the restaurant so you come by car you would need to find coin parking nearby.

‼️ I was honestly skeptical by the numbers of review - then when we got in I saw that they were all ‘bribed’ (you get free gyozas for 5 stars review, review that you have to give before even trying any food) I have to take away 1 star for this strategy which I honestly think is dishonest

Now - if I have to judge the actual food without any hope for a sort of reward - it was honestly really good, which is even more surprising 🤔 We tried the local ramen which had one of the best noodles in terms of texture that I’ve tried, the broth was quite greasy but sometimes it’s what you need 😂 The homemade kimchi with spinach was a nice addition to the dish And we also tried the fresh oysters which were enormous Cherry on top - the menu has a wide range of different options and it was very cheap as well!

So the conclusion is - this place imo deserves its google rating, but surely can do without a shady strategy...

Onomichi is famous for its ramen, and ベッチャー truly lives up to the reputation! Their ramen features a rich kombu and soy sauce-based broth that is both deep in flavor and incredibly satisfying. Using thick, fatty slices of roasted pork as topping is another signature of the dish.

The noodles are homemade, with a perfectly chewy texture and a distinct wheat flavor that enhances the overall experience. Another must-try here is the oysters, a specialty of the region. They are incredibly fresh, prepared in a way that keeps their natural flavors intact, making them both refreshing and delicious.

If you’re in Onomichi, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! By the way, staff is friendly and the...
