Mankai Temmabashi — Restaurant in Osaka

As a ramen aficionado, I've visited many restaurants, but Mankai Temmabashi stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere promised a delightful experience.

The highlight, undoubtedly, was their signature ramen. The broth, rich and robust, was a symphony of flavors, evidencing hours of meticulous simmering. It struck a perfect balance of savory and umami, enveloping the senses in each spoonful.

The noodles at Mankai Temmabashi were a revelation - perfectly cooked, striking a delicate balance between firmness and tenderness, harmonizing beautifully with the broth. The chashu was tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and each topping, from the crisp vegetables to the perfectly soft-boiled egg, was fresh and added an extra layer of complexity to the dish.

What elevated the experience further was the exceptional service. The staff were not just attentive and friendly but exuded a genuine passion for their craft. They were eager to offer recommendations and shared fascinating insights into the ramen-making process.

While the prices were a bit above average, the quality, portion size, and the overall dining experience made it more than worth it. Mankai Temmabashi doesn't just serve food; they serve an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.

In summary, Mankai Temmabashi is a must-visit for anyone seeking the pinnacle of ramen dining. It's not just a meal; it's a journey through the rich tapestry of flavors that Japanese cuisine has to offer.

Highly recommended for an unparalleled...

I couldn’t find a reason not to give Mankai Tembashi 5 stars at this price point. Great ambiance with old-timey honky think music playing, a crescent community table, and helpful staff that helped us with an English menu located above the vending machine where you purchase the ramen and other items you’d like to eat.

I had the tomato ramen—a twist on what I had experienced before since it had olives, tomatoes, and a tiny sprinkle of cheese. I loved it. I would eat it again. 960 Yen.

My dining companion had the traditional ramen which was also amazingly delicious. 860 Yen.

We shared the gyoza. Best I have had that I can remember! 8 pieces for 300 Yen.

The service was just what you would want and expect—fast, friendly and helpful. The guys working here seem to be having fun and are friendly with all guests.

The place is cash only. You can order double meat for 200 Yen or double noodles for 100 Yen. Businessmen and students eat here, so it seems like a little bit of a locals spot.

For less than $10 a meal, you can’t do much better than this...

This was my first time visiting this ramen shop. It is located on the way up the hill of Uemachi Plateau after leaving Tenmabashi Station. When you open the old-fashioned sliding door in front, there is a beautifully curved low table that can seat 7-8 people, and behind that is a counter seat with about 8 seats. It is a ramen shop with a stylish atmosphere. I ordered "Junton(純とん)” and "Mentaiko Jako Gohan". Junton might be an abbreviation for pure tonkotsu ramen. Let's eat. The pork bone soup has a refined flavor without any odor, which I like. I also like these thin, hard noodles. The char siu is chewy, but a little dry, which I don't like very much. I'm happy that it contains a lot of chewy wood ear mushrooms. The yolk of the seasoned egg is half-cooked just right. The mentaiko jako gohan is rice topped with shiso leaves, green onions, chopped nori, and plenty of mentaiko, and is drizzled with dashi soy sauce. It is very delicious. I think I'll try the...
