Nothing but reviews trashing this place. Isn't this just what a ramen shop near the station is like? What on earth do you expect from a ramen shop? This is why ramen otaku are hated. I haven't eaten it myself, but unlike that grubby, cloudy white Kanto-style soup, the soup looks clear. Since it's made assuming you'll order a kaedama, the first serving tastes salty—authentic style. Plus an energetic owner whose mouth works as fast as his hands. Could he be a Kyushu man?

On a business trip, there was a Nagahamaya open until late at night, so I decided to try it. When I got to the front of the shop, even though it was past 23:30, kids were running around outside, and inside some rough-looking people were making a racket you could hear out on the street. I figured it was a place for that kind of local crowd and went home. I thought that's fine in its own way.

Recommended when you want tonkotsu ramen. I wonder if there's anywhere in Hachioji tastier than this (if there is, let me know). It's popular, so depending on the timing the seats might be full, but sometimes it's empty. Seating 10 would be a tight squeeze. If you come by car, use a nearby coin parking lot. If you come by bike, there's no real place to park, so find a smart spot. Access is ▲, but the taste is good, so it's worth the trip ♩

The shop is small with counter seats only, but it's a warm, cozy place buzzing with friendly regulars. The ramen is really delicious, the chashu is tender, the soup is rich, and I ended up ordering a kaedama 3 times. A place I want to go back to.

More of an izakaya than a ramen shop. Is this a case of customers ruining a shop? About 10 counter seats, and when I came in only 1 was free, so I sat down. For some reason, not a single customer was eating ramen. Everyone was having beer and snacks, and some weren't eating anything at all. A couple drinking, a pair who looked like students talking loudly. Fine if this were an izakaya, but as a ramen shop, is this okay? As others have posted, it felt totally like being the away team. When I ordered ramen, the owner gladly made it for me, but is this really okay… I bet the owner actually wants to run a proper ramen shop… But they seemed like a nice person, so I get the sense they maybe can't say much to the regulars. The kitchen equipment, the number of bowls, and even the condiments on the counter are properly restocked, so I think they really do want to run a ramen shop, but I felt the regulars have turned the place into an izakaya. Unfortunately, my honest impression is that I don't want to go to a shop with that kind of crowd.
