Menya Nosuta — Restaurant in Osaka

You don't get the usual welcoming greeting, but you get acknowledged by the chef! Typical machine order, self-service ramen shop. Nevertheless, I am surprised by the multi language user interface.. the staff comes forward to assist when needed, too. The chef cooked the ramen in batch, and he tested the doneness before being served. The bean sprouts are voluminous and fresh. So is the ramen.

From Google, with the help of a neighboring Chinese restaurant, Yamada developed a new, distinctive flavor that became known as "Jirolian style." This style is characterized by a salty shoyu and tonkotsu soup base, with thick dense noodles and fatty pork chunks. Ramen Jiro is on its list of "The 50 best things to eat in the world. [5] Fox, Killian (2009-09-12). "″The 50 best foods in the world and where to eat them″". The Guardian. Archived . I want to say it's truly 'salty' with great taste, I wonder if it's not polite to ask for less salt. The chunky pork melted in my mouth, so delicious. We ordered a 麻辣 and it is good. We apologized to the staff that the taste is awesome, voluminous for us small stomach. Enjoy the Jiro...

Terrible experience! I would never go back to this restaurant. The portion sizes were absurdly large — even the smallest option was way too much to finish, and it felt like such a waste. The food was bland and tasteless — honestly the worst ramen I had during my entire stay in Osaka.

The staff were incredibly rude. They seated us in a spot directly under a freezing air conditioner, and after coming in from the hot weather outside, it felt like a guaranteed way to catch a cold. When I politely asked if we could move to other available seats in the restaurant, the server firmly said no. I then asked if it would be possible to at least turn down the air conditioning a little, because it was truly unbearable where we were sitting — again, I was told no without any explanation or courtesy.

Overall, a deeply unpleasant dining experience. I do not recommend this...

I went to this ramen shop full of anticipation, with no prior indication that reservations were required. Since when does a ramen shop need reservations?! We entered, informed them there were three of us, and saw plenty of empty seats. As we moved to sit down, an employee suddenly shouted 'NO! NO!'**

Utterly bewildered, we were SHOOED OUT. Standing outside confused, a server came out and stated there were 'no seats for tourists.' So you're saying there ARE seats, but you REFUSE to serve tourists?! Aren't tourists people?! Do tourists not pay for their meals?!

I demanded an explanation. He offered NONE and walked straight back inside. Having visited Japan numerous times, I have NEVER encountered such blatant discrimination against tourists. This is ABSOLUTELY...
