I try my best to eat here every time I visit Tokyo. The restaurant is just walking distance from the Ikebukuro Station. It is not a big restaurant so prepare yourself for a long queue (make sure you warm enough during winter time). My last...More

No idea what to eat at Ikebukuro, googled and this pop out. We were there around 1015am (shop open at 1030am), already a long queue formed outside. I ordered the black garlic broth and my husband had the original ones. Damn the pork.. is good,...More

Arrived at 5:45pm and waited only about 15mins to my surprise. There were good condiments and extras like garlic, vinegar and some spicy pickles. The ramen itself; the broth was superb, noodles were perfect, egg was perfect and the pork was my real highlight. Yes...More

I was recommended by alot of my frenz about this Mutekiya which is located near Ikebukuro station. When I reached there was already a queue even before they are open for business. As I was thinking that since I'm already here, might as well just...More
