Ramen Tenno — Restaurant in Tokyo

This is not your Instagram ramen joint. No neon signs, no choreographed TikTok broth pours. It’s a humble, family-run noodle temple where the only influencers are your taste buds.

Step one: hit the vending machine at the entrance. No touchscreen wizardry here. It’s old-school. Cash only—coins or crisp ¥1000 bills. No credit cards, no excuses. Google Translate is your wingman, and worth the fumble.

The homemade noodles? Legendary. Thin, chewy, made with love and maybe a little rage. If gluten’s your nemesis, opt for the buckwheat soba—unexpectedly killer and packed with flavor.

But the alpha pick? The rich ramen bowl. Deep, fatty broth. Bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, a slab of chashu that practically melts on contact. One bite and you’ll be Googling “how to say ‘just take my money’ in Japanese.”

Service is fast and friendly. No line when we showed up. No BS either. This place is focused on one thing: delivering soul-level ramen.

Final Take: Tenno is no-frills, no-flash, all fire. Cash only. Coins and ¥1000 bills. Order from the machine,...

AMAZING because a tired family of four that was jet legged found a ramen restaurant next to the hotel that had great ramen and had tables for us to sit together. They gave us a menu so we didn’t need to use this ticket machine. Very comfortable. Seats for a large party. Great food, we finished in about 20 minutes because it was so good! We had 2 big bowls of ramen and a soup and rice. Service was fast with one person!! There were about 3-4 families, and they got their food fast, like us. I recommend this...

Ordered at the ticket vending machine, staff helped since I had no clue what i was doing. Regular ramen, large portion. Sorry all you ramen lovers, but I haven't learned all the different kinds of ramen nuances and lingo. Very tasty. Might try and ask for a little more spice next time, if I can figure it out. Price is very good. Looked like they cut/made their own noodles. That was kinda neat. I really enjoyed...
