5* ramen

We waited 3 hours like the pretend foodies we are! But it was so worth it! I was a bit sceptical as to how you can make ramen Michelin stat but now I know. The broth so rich and flavoursome, the thick cut pork so...More

Mediocre ramen

Small shop, we waited 90mins or so just to get inside. We had a family of 6 and they couldn't accommodate us all at once. The noodles are not worth if you have to wait 90mins. It's only worth waiting for AT MOST 30mins. We...More

Michelin * Ramen

As typical for well-known restaurants in Tōkyō, there is a long queue outside the restaurant which only caters for 10 guests at a time. I had to wait approx 1 h 45 min before I could enter the restaurant. Food is then ordered and paid...More

One of the restaurants on our list because the hubby wanted to try it. He had the dried one from the convenience store a couple nights prior (to compare taste) and we tried this place in person. Be prepared to wait if you're not there...More

Amazing ramen, definitely worth the wait

We got to the restaurant prior to opening about 45 minutes and were still 6-7th in line. Just barely making it in time to be served first! Keep in mind at the time of this writing that the restaurant seated 12 at a time and...More

Throughout my life, I had my share of ramen. But I wanted to try an awesome ramen place. Nakiryu was raged along with another local ramen place as being the pioneer of Michelin ramen places. After locating the place, I was 30 minutes early to...More

The ramen is truly spectacular and one of the tastiest meals in a two week trip to Japan. No need to go large as the normal size is plenty and don’t bother with beer as it will just fill you up. Warning: get here early!!We...More
