Service was basically non-existent. You buy a ticket from the machine, hand it over, and they drop off your ramen. Water is self-service, tissues are already on the table because the ramen is meant to be super spicy, and that’s pretty much the entire experience. The ramen itself had this strangely sweet, processed flavor — like a more expensive version of instant noodles. It honestly tasted like pre-made food that was reheated rather than something freshly prepared. The pricing is average for Tokyo ramen, so it’s not a rip-off or anything. You can eat it, but it just doesn’t really satisfy you. Lately there are a lot of places like this around Tokyo: spicy ramen with strong flavors covering up pretty average processed food underneath. Nothing memorable here.

If you like spicy food and ramen noodle, you should eat at Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto. The menu shows how much the ramen is spicy... with the number of fire mark. The spiciest ramen here is Hokkyoku Ramen, means "North Pole Ramen noodle." Sounds cold, but it is really spicy and hot! Be careful, not for beginners. They also have English menus, and it shows the grade of spices with the number.  I ordered Miso Tanmen (vegetable noodle), spicy level 3 because I am not that strong for spicy food. This is spicy for me but still can taste flavor and deliciousness in hot soup. The noodles are thick and big volume with various vegetables. I got sweaty but the ramen was tasty. My friend loves spicy food, and she ordered Gomoku Mouko Tanmen (Tofu, vegetable, meat, egg, etc noodle), spicy level 6. It looks very spicy enough even though the level is 6! She likes ramen here, it is spicy and delicious. If the chili pepper is not enough, you can add... I don't think so !☆♪♯!! I guess this is an irresistible place for spicy-food lovers 🎵

I think they're famous for the Mongolian noodles (level 5) and miso noodles (level 3 spiciness) which are first 2 options on left of vending machine. I had major difficulty ordering because it's all in Japanese. i got the Miso but it's not spicy. Really delicious though

Spicy ramen with lots of tofu and veggies. #6 spice level is ok and medium spice. If you can stomach spicy 🔥 go for #8 or #9. Seating is counter style ramen, ordering via vending machine. Tip: If you use nakamoto app you can get points and free oolong tea/large noodles/raw egg.

Not your typical Japan spicy levels. This is legit hot. Anything 6 and above is pretty intense. Don't even think about going to the off the menu level 100. It's not even trying to be tasty/edible. See my posted picture if you don't believe me...
