Canteen KU キャンティーン・クー — Restaurant in Tokyo

Penang Hokkien Mee. The dish that defines Penang, no questions asked. And now—against all odds—it’s been reborn in Tokyo, right here at Canteen Ku.

It’s been ten years since I left Penang, ten years of chasing that unforgettable taste across Japan. I’ve had plenty of great bowls along the way—JCA Café, for example, is always a solid bet—but still, nothing ever quite hit that exact Penang note.

Not this time. The chef, a master of Malaysian cuisine, has unleashed a Penang Hokkien Mee that doesn’t just capture the original—it rivals it, maybe even outshines it. Deep, aromatic, and layered with flavor, it’s nothing short of a revelation in a bowl.

And here’s the kicker: you don’t need to know Malaysia. You don’t need to know Southeast Asia. Tired of the same old ramen? Then this bowl—steaming with a heady prawn broth, layered with porky richness, noodles soaking up every drop, and finished with that deep, savory punch—is the one you need to try. If you love ramen, you’ll love this. Period.

The best part? It’s just a four- or five-minute stroll from Sensō-ji in Asakusa. So the next time you find yourself wandering those streets on a weekend, make a detour. Trust me: once you taste it,...
