Don’t freak out just because it is at the train station. This was the most surprising and wonderful ramen hole in the wall, ever! They do a tomato based broth ramen, sprinkle of cheese, a couple of slices of ham/bacon, a pinch of spinach. It’s not your everyday type of ramen but it is INCREDIBLE. The broth was addictive and light. We also ordered the bandan noodles which is a black sesame broth ramen. Madness! But the rich nutty sesame is balanced out by the delicious noodles and the heap of freshly sliced leeks or spring onions (green onions if you are American). We also got some sides of gyoza and char siu fried rice (half portion to make up a set). The fried rice was so yummy and we couldn’t stop eating it, the ginger served on the side just makes it! Overall, it was wicked! Why wouldn’t you try a tomato ramen at a train station?!?! And it is so cheap!
What a find! Such a bizarre concept for someone who has never seen it before but I love it! Order from the electronic kiosk menu out front - but be quick before the machine times out your order and you have to start again! But such a great experience!!!
good stuff. This is the good stuff. The moment u sit down u feel the atmosphere. Those old traditional eatery u know u got the good shit bros. U know uncle roger “wok hey”. The fried rice erupts wok hey in ur mouth.
This was such a lovely little ramen joint on our way to mt Fuji! The food was delicious, and the service from the staff was also great. Had a bit of trouble ordering from the machine because everything was in Japanese, but friendly customers helped us through. 10/10 would recommend
This is absolutely delicious! We had a good time enjoying the tomato ramen. Creamy and meaty. The taste was amazing. Tried the mini egg fried rice and gyoza was delicious as well.
Amazing food - tried the tomato, salt based and soy sauce based ramen, fried rice and dumpling. Everything was 10/10! Service was quick too. Great for a quick meal.
English menu available. The tomato “ramen” is worthy to try. It is not a typical ramen. Dumplings and rice are also good. We’ve also ordered a seasonal dam dam noodles. The white sesame tastes good.
Some of the best dumplings I have ever eaten in my life! The typical soy ramen was extremely delicious too! There was a young guy working here who was very helpful when we were trying to order and made the experience very easy.
