Aun — Restaurant in Tokyo

I loved this place! I usually don't care much for noodle soups but these Szechuan style noodles were so tasty I ate it all up. You can choose to have it with soup or without (we all chose to have it with soup) and there is also a black sesame option which my friend got and really liked.

There are also fun additions you can get like soft boiled egg, extra veggies (highly recommended), extra noodles, and rice and bottled beer.

You place your order at the vending machine just inside the entrance which was a little confusing but at least there is English written on each item. You put your money in first and then make your selection. You have to pay and select each item separately and then give all the tickets to the folks behind the counter. They'll ask you what spice level and what numbness ("stimulant" is what they call it) you want on a level of 0-6 for each. If you want level 6 you need to pay...

The best Szechuan style Dan Dan noodles I've ever had in Tokyo (and second best in all of Japan), served with plenty of meat.

Edit: 3 years later, they're not as great as they used to be anymore, but still a solid 4 stars. Instead of just the spicyness level, you can now pick the level (that is, amount) of chili oil and szechuan peppers separately. I actually preferred the...

I’m a huge fan of soupless noodles, such as mazesoba and abura soba, so I was excited to try this place. It’s not either one of those things, but something different all together. It’s essentially the Chinese version, where you can choose your spice levels, with two options: the spicy oil and the Chinese black pepper (it’s more numbing than spicy). I went with the black sesame option with both levels at 3 and it was perfect. The noodles were cooked perfectly and it was sooooo tasty. I got some rice to add at the end to soak up all the oils and I recommend it. I’d like to try the regular ramen but I’m not sure I can do anything other than the soupless version because it was that good. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a must try....
