If you happen to end up at Kita Ayase, you would have to try this place out! I've never really been a fan of tsukemen, but this place keeps me coming back. Place is quite small and tends to have people lining up. Be aware that when they say Oomori, I'm telling you, it's huuuuuge.

M favorite tsukemen restaurant in Tokyo. Noodles are plentiful, strong, and delicious. The soup is unbelievable. You don’t need to add anything to it as the taste and texture is already perfect, but there is pepper, Shichimi, as well as vinegar if you like. The pork is the nicest piece of pork you will find. Instead of the usual flat piece of chashu, you get a thick cut that is melt-in-mouth good. In Japan, you will often find great customer service and kind staff. But Watai makes you feel like family. They are extremely kind to their customers and make sure everyone feels welcome. I lost count of how many times I have been here 🤣 I will recommend it to everyone and I’m lucky to live close by. Lastly, maybe the owner is a huge Sade fan as it is always playing on repeat in the shop. Not a problem for me as I also love Sade. Thank you for another delicious meal!!

Absolutely fantastic! Cozy shop next to the station with delicious tsukemen; the meat, soup, and noodles are amazing. A must if you’re in the area!

This place serves truly delicious ramen, in either the typical "noodles in soup" version, as well as the "dipping noodles" aka tsukemen style. The char siu (焼豚) pork slices are juicy & soft. Default serving of noodles are more than enough. Going for the upsized serving might end up being a "eating competition"! I will definitely made repeated visits. You won't be disappointed!

The best tsukemen place! I honestly like it better than even the famous chains (Tsujita, Tetsu, etc.). The vending machine only accepts 1000 yen bills but you can ask the staff to break a bigger bill if that’s all you have. The regular size tsukemen with egg (ajitama) is what I usually get, and I get the special (also comes with three slices of pork) when I’m super hungry. They will also ask if you want your noodles hot or cold if you get tsukemen. The place is small and only has counter seating, so expect a wait on weekends during lunch.
