Since 1952, a charming ramen spot with alot of older customers. Tried the chashu wonton ramen (チャーシューワンタン麺)1200円。The volume was massive. The fried onions were a great touch. Noodles nice and chewy with a good mouth feel. Chashu and toppins were great. Wontons tasty. Broth was pretty good. Overall a great experience.

When it comes to ramen in Shibuya, this legendary spot always makes the list—and yes, there’s a line. The location? Right at the edge of what used to be an old entertainment district, so you might spot some friendly “catch” staff hanging around the corner. I went with the moyashi (bean sprout) ramen and gyoza. Thought about the wontons, but they seemed a bit too similar to the gyoza, so I stuck with my first choice. One surprise—the moyashi ramen doesn’t come with an egg! The ramen itself? Absolutely delicious. The stir-fried bean sprouts and veggies add amazing flavor, and the noodles are thick and slightly chewy, almost like champon-style. Seriously good stuff. The gyoza was huge, packed with garlicky goodness and a natural sweetness from the veggies, perfectly cooked with a crisp bottom. As for condiments, the table has just the essentials: soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil for the gyoza, and black pepper. But honestly, no extra seasoning needed—everything is already spot-on! One unique point: payment is self-reported at the register. A rare system these days, but it adds to the charm. A truly classic spot that lives up to its reputation.

My kind of place! Just a hole in the wall but serving up amazing ramen and gyoza. Very flavour served up fast. Popular with the locals and seating is limited so there’s a bit of a wait but it’s worth it. Definitely recommended Drop me a like if you found this helpful

Amazing ramen and gyoza. Wife and I ordered two bowls of pork ramen with noodles and wonton combo along with 6 piece gyoza. Food was serves quickly and amazing flavor. One of our favorite meals so far. Would highly recommend!

Expect a queue of 5 - 6 people as they have only bar seats on the ground floor and shared table seating on the upper floor. I ordered the chashu noodle soup as it came highly recommended as an authentic old style noodle soup. The gyoza came first, crispy on the outside, meatball on the inside is moist and tender with a hint of herbs. The noodle soup is delicious. It has the exact same “light soy sauce with lots of onions” taste as the Beach Road Prawn Mee noodle soup they serve in East Coast Road in Singapore (except prawns and pork ribs of course). Chashu was stiff, and slightly hard to chew which reminds me of toughness of pork ribs. Also they provide a mountain of beansprouts and noodles that are thicker than your average ramen. I couldn’t finish the noodles and beansprouts so I left in a hurry (they were good and fresh just that I’m a small eater 😅)
