Abura Soba JINYA — Restaurant in Tokyo

Tourists come around to the quiet side of Ueno Park to experience delicious Abura Soba noodles at an authentic eatery. Don't be put off by the lack of English. Go on in and use the ordering machine with the help of Google translate or be assisted by one of the friendly staff. I ordered the recommended meal for ¥900. I was offered the choice of medium or large portion at no extra cost. This was a redundant question, as it was always going to be large! Service was fast, portion size was huge.

Instructions on the wall explain how to use the vinegar, chili oil, raw garlic paste and sesame seeds to mix through your noodles along with the soft boiled egg. When you get the flavour ratio just right after a little perfecting, you will die and go to noodly heaven!!!

Counter style seating for 10 people only. Strong recommend! One of my favourite meals in 15 days. Was quiet at 12.30pm on a Wednesday.

Worth the short detour from a day at the...

I enjoyed their speedy service but after I finished my meal, I was enjoying after time with served glass of water. When I still not finishing my glass yet for about 7mins after I finished my ramen, the guy told me to leave for the seat, even though there is no one waiting outside. It was just within 15mins after my ramen, so I needed some water time for resting my stomach. So I couldn’t stop feeling like “leave right after you’re done” and feeling unwelcome there. So disappointing. Taste was not very good but oksh, so I feel like the price was bit too high for the taste quality and serving quality. Maybe for men these shops are good but not for some women like me who want to enjoy the meal. Sorry that I was enjoying your ramen and took a lil bit longer time like 8,9...

A quiet shop at the time we came in. They said they only had 3 combos available at the time which sounded not so good but the 2 we tried were amazing. The ordering machine was all in japanese but the staff explained what it was to us in english.

Definitely recommend as the noodles had great texture and the available condiments allow for adjusting the taste to preference.

Thankful that we found it by randomly walking in. Another foreign couple came in while we were eating and they were intimidated by the all-japanese menu but they really missed on...
