Tenryu-ramen Hassenro — Restaurant in Osaka

Easy all. Been living in this corner of nishinari for about 5 years and have ate here more times than I can remember. It’s a very local joint with a very reasonably priced 880yen ramen, small kimchi and fried rice set. Gritty interior, cheerful chefs if you want to try out some Japanese, usually baseball/sumo on TV and has that no nonsense quick service kind of feel which I really like. As for the food, the ramen is not too rich or too light and is a little oily but I don’t feel this affects the taste negatively. Anywho, let me tell you.. if you order the fried rice here, it is SUPER. The best one I have had in Japan and is not clumpy but more light and Nasi-goreng-esque. Packed full of flavour due to the in-house meat and vegetable mix they add to the rice. Go here; real deep Osaka vibes, decent ramen and a banging fried rice....

Small ramen restaurant with counter seats only. Not the cleanest or prettiest, but it adds to the authentic feeling.

Ramen was tasty, fatty, but well balanced. Noodles had a nice consistency and the bowl included chasu, menma, and green onions.

We ordered the set that comes with gyoza and a small fried rice side. We also ordered the chicken karaage. Fried rice was a star dish, super flavorful and with each grain of rice well cooked. Lots of umami taste. I think Uncle Roger would approve, lmao.

Prices are pretty good, the set was 1,300¥, the individual bowl was 800¥, 6pc karaage was 600¥, and...

Absolutely incredible. That it is open late at night is a blessing for tired travellers who just want a nightcap before sleeping. I just saw this on Google Maps and wondered, "damn I'd really like some ramen right now". None of my co-travellers echoed the feeling, so I huffed over to this place. Waiting in line, being the only foreigner, I felt a bit intimidated. I had never ordered in a Japanese restaurant in Japan by myself. This dissipated when I was asked to sit. There is an English menu and English speaking staff. In fact the proprietor knows Japanese, English, and Chinese. I think I ordered the pork ramen. It was the perfect compliment to the first night in Japan. I went home a...
