It's called "Toneri-an Abura Soba" First, let me say… the hours are super short, so be careful! The noodles are thick, the sauce clings to them, and the aroma is great. There's just 1 flavor, and you can choose from various toppings. Secret sauce × aromatic oil × chewy thick noodles all cling together, and it tastes great. The moment you drop in the egg yolk topping, you feel happy. The chashu is thick and chunky, with a presence that casually smashes the very concept of abura soba. Extra rice to finish? Of course they have it. The inside is simple × clean and easy to walk into, it really feels like a savior for lunch refugees. If you want cheap abura soba in Ikebukuro, "Toneri-an" seems like a must!

A slightly late lunch Enter and order at the counter straight ahead, MAX regular size Noodles cost the same up to large Wait a while at your seat until you're called, then pick it up at the counter Add onions at the self-service corner and sit down Standard toppings and the taste is ordinary too Not bad, but nothing distinctive either; I guess the pricing is relatively reasonable When you're done, return your tray yourself to the return area Thank you for the meal

An orthodox abura soba that isn't heavy and is easy to eat. I went at 12 on a weekday and got in without waiting. About 80% of seats were taken. No counter seats; mainly tables. I ordered the Max size, and it was served in about 5 minutes. There are no condiments at the seats; the system is that you add them near the pickup counter, so it's a bit inconvenient when you want to change the flavor. The abura soba is orthodox Chinese noodles with simple seasoning, easy to eat, so for me, someone who likes rich, chewy abura soba, it was a little lacking. But the shop is easy to walk into and it's not heavy, so I could enjoy abura soba casually☺︎

For lunch, I'm stopping by Toneri-an Abura Soba. Arrived Friday 12:10. Enter the shop and walk to the ordering counter. It's a food-court-style shop. Ordered verbally: MAX size, large, 900 yen. Same price up to large, much appreciated. You're handed a red plastic number tag. Basically it seems you pay afterward, but with PayPay you can apparently pay first, and not knowing that, I paid first. Next to the ordering counter, sesame, pepper, garlic, onion, secret chili oil, sauce, a water pitcher, cups, paper aprons, and tissues are all set out together on a table. On the tables are disposable chopsticks, a cloth, the menu, and tissues. Inside there are 7 two-person tables. No counter. 2 staff The background music was nostalgic Japanese songs. 10 minutes after sitting down, my number was called from the ordering counter and it was served. Totally a food court. Before going back to my seat, I add a little garlic, sesame, pepper, a scoop of onion, and chili oil. The noodles are wavy medium-thick, chewy texture. Delicious even as is. The yolk clings stickily to the noodles, giving a mellow impression. The chashu is slightly sweet pork belly. Star anise aroma. Small amount but tasty. The menma is the flat type. Soft texture, not a very distinctive taste. Not bad. The onion has a juicy texture and is quite sharp. The fried garlic was limp, a bit disappointing. The garlic is insanely sharp. I let my guard down. Mixed together, the impression is a slightly strong, sweetish sauce. When mixed, the sharpness of each ingredient matched perfectly, so it wasn't harsh and became delicious. The slotted spoon is good for scooping toppings, but sauce dripped from the holes and nearly got on my jacket, close call. The taste is decent and the price is low. But the food-court style is still a letdown. For security, I think they should unify payment to pay-after. There's how it looks to people around you, whether you've paid or not, and I felt a bit self-conscious walking straight out of the shop. Thank you for the meal.
