MACHIDA SHOTEN Patong Beach JAPANESE RAMEN — Restaurant in Patong

Located opposite the famous Patong Beach and just a stones throw from Bangla road.. be prepared to be transported to a traditional Yokohama Ramen house .

The quaint exterior hides the well guarded secret of this authentic Ramen made famous the world over by this franchise chain.

The service is polite..efficient and helpful if your are trying Ramen for the first time.

Having previously lived and worked in Japan I was delighted to find this establishment that provided such an authentic experience especially with the variety of dishes not to mention various styles of Ramen with a multitude of accompaniments.. just like being in Yokohama.

The price is relevant to the quality and quantity..no complaints from me in this area.

The manager.. Masa is Japanese and does an excellent job with his courteous Thai staff..all of whom exude a friendly demeanour towards customers and one another.. it appears they genuinely enjoy their work..a refreshing change in Patong.

The kitchen is well appointed and open for all to see their delectable dishes being prepared in such an efficient and timely manner.

I would not hesitate to recommend such a wonderful establishment if you crave the traditional Ramen flavours of Yokohama.

If you have never tried.. you will not be disappointed here for your first...

I was not expecting this to be as good as it was, so I ordered way too much food thinking I'll like some things and not others... but what I couldn't eat i took away it was that good! Had the gyoza, takoyaki and chicken ramen and everything was excellent.

The service was super attentive and polite and in no way did I feel rushed to order which is always nice. It wasn't too hot in there either.

The gyoza were some of the best I've had - really fresh, great flavour and cooked perfectly. The takoyaki was a big surprise because if it is not really good, it's almost always bad. I would go back here and buy these as a snack and walk Bangla Rd without hesitation again. Not stodgy or too goopy or anything.

The Ramen was definitely a standout - the noodles were luxurious and almost creamy, the broth was rich but not over the top and the chicken was not overcooked. Serving sizes were really generous as well but more chicken would have been nice. Still, for the price I have...

Ummm... maybe I was expected too much about this ramen shop (usually am in BKK and am originally from Yokohama JPN same as this signature ramen from). Staff here very nice and friendly. Several recognition based on my perspective Flavor of ramen different from original in JPN( maybe using different ingredient or changing slightly to be accepted for foreign people maybe) No sesame and vinegar on the table which usually standardized in JPN( love EAK soup so must have) Quite a pricy compare to original in JPN and even compare to other ramen restaurant in BKK and Phuket (personally, doubt necessity of service charge)

Hope they can be successful business expansion in Thailand so happy if my comment could be some tips for...
