Menya Takeichi Akihabara — Restaurant in Tokyo

My favorite ramen place on the planet. Coming here is one of the highlights of my trips to Japan. It's also one of the few ramen joints I've run into that specialize in chicken ramen. It tastes great, price is good, and they've redone their ticketing machine to be significantly easier for foreigners to understand. They also have an English menu and some of the staff speak English if you're uncomfortable using the machine.

They also did not mind that we had a lot of bags, and provided small boxes to hold them near us.

Overall I was really impressed, the food was delicious and left me very full. No negatives I...
