Crazy good ramen. The richness, the flavor, the spices and seasoning used make this easily the best ramen I've had. If a place like this with the same quality ramen opened up in the USA (preferably near the Triangle region of North Carolina pleeeaaase) it would make an absolute killing. The Zenbunose ramen was so full of flavor.
I lack the words to say just how rich and flavorful the broth was. The pork was very tender, the noodles cooked to perfection, and the egg was soft boiled to a delightful texture.
There was a lot of Western music being played here. The tables and benches we're all made of beautiful wood, the benches live edge I believe, and the staff was attentive, polite, and spoke good English. This place is cash only so be sure to have about 1100 yen per person. The table each have a water pitcher at them so you can refill water to your heart's content. There were also plenty of ramen adders to make your ramen taste just right.
I'll be recommending this place as a must see to anyone...

The super friendly staff did not speak much English but they had an English menu and pointing at the items worked just fine. I had not been able to check into my hostel yet and they were kind enough to let me put my luggage behind the register while I ate.
I ordered the Tonkotsu and was blown away by the quality. It is by far the best Tonkotsu i have had in japan over the last 5 weeks and i have eaten ramen almost every day i have been here. The broth was very rich and full of wonderful flavors. The chashu was melt in your mouth tender and incredibly savory. It was so good I ordered a second helping of noodles just so i could savor the dish longer.
The next time I go i plan on ordering the Chashu bowl which is the Tonkotsu with extra chashu.
If you love ramen and find yourself in Shinjuku definitely make...
Read moreWas a bit secluded and having to walk past all the adult stores was quite a treat for me but not for my family, lol. Ramen is good. Definitely one of the few top ones I’ve tasted. Comes with a variety of toppings to add on. We ordered the original and we get to choose thickness of the soup and noodle. Took the rich and super rich. Only difference is the flavour being saltier with the super rich and there’s more fat in it. Also chose both thick and thin noodle. Thin noodle works well with less richer base as there’s more surface to coat the soup. If you’re looking to have a super strong super thick flavour. Go super rich with thin noodle like what we did. Lastly, the place is spacious and clean. The price is also reasonable. Under ¥1000 for...
