Must-Visit for Rich and Flavorful Ramen Lovers Tatsunoya Ramen is a must-visit for ramen enthusiasts seeking a rich and flavorful dining experience. Whether you prefer your ramen served hot or as tsukemen (dipping noodles), Tatsunoya has something to tantalize your taste buds. The star of the show at Tatsunoya is undoubtedly their broth. Crafted using a meticulous process of simmering pork bones for over 15 hours, the resulting broth is a symphony of umami flavors, devoid of any unpleasant porky odor. This rich and creamy broth perfectly coats their thin, springy noodles, creating an unforgettable culinary experience. Hot Ramen or Tsukemen: The Choice is Yours Tatsunoya caters to both hot ramen and tsukemen aficionados. Their hot ramen features the same delectable broth, accompanied by a variety of toppings, including tender slices of chashu pork, narutomaki (fish cake), and a perfectly cooked egg. For tsukemen lovers, the thick, chewy noodles are served separately from the broth, allowing you to customize your dipping experience. Generous Portions and Flavorful Toppings Tatsunoya is not stingy with their portions. Each bowl of ramen comes generously packed with noodles, toppings, and a satisfying amount of broth. Additionally, the restaurant offers an array of free toppings, such as bean sprouts, marinated spicy greens, and pickled ginger, allowing you to further personalize your ramen to your liking. Tsukemen with a Twist: Rice and Broth Once you've savored every last bite of your tsukemen noodles, Tatsunoya offers a unique twist: rice and broth. Simply inform the staff, and they'll provide you with a complimentary serving of rice, which you can then add to your remaining broth, transforming it into a comforting and flavorful porridge. Tatsunoya Ramen is a true gem among Tokyo's ramen scene. Their rich and flavorful broths, generous portions, and delectable tsukemen option make it a must-visit for any ramen enthusiast. Whether you're craving a hearty bowl of hot ramen or a customizable tsukemen experience, Tatsunoya will not disappoint.

Absolutely delicious Tsukemen! I highly recommend this place, and the locals seem to agree. I walked by several times and there was always a line up. I figured it must be good and went back to our accommodations to look it up on Google maps. Tsukemen was the top choice so my husband and I went back to try it. We went around 5pm on a Monday night, and the wait was about 10 minutes. The line was just barely past the stairs leading up to the restaurant. You will be asked to go inside to purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine, then go back to wait outside. The vending machine has English and pictures on it, so don't sweat! We both ordered the "Tsukemen Motsu Special", which comes with a marinated egg, bamboo shoots (menma), green onions, sheets of seaweed (nori), and more meat (chashu) than the non-special kind. The small portion size was very filling, even for my husband! The noodle dipping broth was very flavourful and had bits of crispy pork skin in it. The chashu had a beautiful savoury and smokey taste to it. Once you're done with your noodles, make sure to ask for the "soup wari"! They will fill your dipping sauce bowl with a rice broth and heat it up for you to enjoy with some extra green onions. The rice was a really tasty addition and the soup was a refreshing finish. They have two different pickled sides for you to help yourself to too. One was spicy pickled bean sprouts, though I couldn't figure out the other (it was still tasty). Service is good and you can see all the staff working hard. If you forget to order something at the vending machine, you can order and pay for it at your seat as well.

One of my favorite ramen places in Tokyo. Please try the tsukemen motsu dipping ramen if this is going to be your first visit to Tatsunoya. There was about a 45 min wait when we went on a Sunday for lunch. This is well worth the wait! Before too long you are greeted by one of the staff members and they will ask you if it is your first time. The lady that spoke to us had excellent English. She explained that when she told us to go in, we would go to the machine inside and buy our tickets (cash only). The machine has English labels so it is very easy to understand. I would definitely recommend the tsukemen motsu and the small size with extra chashu. The chashu is amazing with a slight smoky flavor that is just incredible. Once you have your ticket purchase you return to your place in line outside. When you tech your seat they will promptly serve you the dish. Then prepare to indulge in the one of the best ramen dishes ever. If you are hungry get extra eggs! But small size only refers to noodle portions. Just enjoy the whole experience with the lively chefs and fun atmosphere. Highly highly highly recommended. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

I had this ramen shop on my hot list, it was just a 5-minute walk from my hotel. I got here 15 minutes after opening time and there was already a queue of 8 people. The ramen shop seats only 12 and it's very popular amongst the locals. I waited about 30 minutes before I was seated at the counter. The staff come and ask you to order from the machine while you are waiting in line. The machine has various languages so don't feel intimidated, it's very easy and straight forward to order. I got the most popular dish, the medium sized Tsukemen (dipping noodles) for ¥1,350. It comes with an egg and a generous amount of charshiu pork belly. I thought the medium size was just right for me, most people got the large size. You can opt to have rice added to your broth bowl after you are done, I declined as I was at a happy state of full. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Tsukemen ramen, but this one was very good. The noodles were particularly good, cooked a bit al dente to give it that nice bounce and chew. Definitely worth the wait.

May 2023: Still as good as ever. Spicy bean sprouts and pickled greens are available at table and add a lot to the taste. Sept 2018: Came back a second time and it’s just as I remembered it. Amazing. See my review below. March 2018 The tsukemen here is amazing and much better than Rokurinsha on Ramen Street at Tokyo Station. Though the noodles aren’t as tasty I actually prefer them here as it’s thinner and better for the broth. The broth is the star here. One dip with the noodles and you can taste the salty rich pork flavors of the broth clinging to the noodles. It didn’t take long to finish the noodles and the broth was still warm. When you’ve indicated to the waitress that your noodles are gone she’ll take the broth and pour a ladle of rice porridge into the bowl and reheat it. I was surprised how good the addition of porridge was to the broth. It was very easy to finish especially with the tasty pork rinds. After having eaten at Rokurinsha on Ramen Street at Tokyo Station I’d say this place is much better.

Oh man where do I start...i came here around 1230ish. There was a line about few groups ahead of me. Waited for a bit till I was ask to order what I wanted before I was seated. The wait time was about 30 mins but worth the wait. I was sat to a 4 top table which I felt bad since it was just me and my friend. We both got tsukemen motsu which you dip your noodles in the broth. Probably one of the best ramen I ever had. I would say the pork was slightly over salted but it balance out with the noodles and broth. Rich, flavorful, balance broth. You also have 3 side dishes on the table to cleanse your palate or eat with the noodles. Pickle ginger, spicy bean sprouts(loved this), and some sort of pickle green. When you finish your noodles and have left over broth they will give you rice which is amazing. So leave some of your broth and don't finish it. I really enjoyed the food and recommend this ramen place.
