What wonderful little hidden gem. The owner is a very Japanese straight-up-no-nonsense brash old man and I can’t say for the others who had a bad experience with customer service here but I personally had a very pleasant conversation with him. The food was delightful and very homely. Be nice to him,
Why did I find out about this place just now?! Definitely worth trying—and worth coming back for! The food is so refreshing, not a lot of seasoning (msg) but tastes so good! It even made me teary probably cause I felt the chef/owner’s passion on the food he prepared. He will prepare your orders one
This one man (76 years young) operation may be a bit slow for many people in this day and age but the dining experience is worth it. The shop owner who owned and operated a sophisticated ramen shop in Tokyo, Shibuya area in the 70s-80s has old Japanese food shows running on the tv. Most of these ep

Only 20 portions of ramen noodles served
My boyfriend and I were the only ones in the shop and we had a lovely conversation with the owner/chef and his experience in Tokyo and his passion for using high quality ingredients instead of relying on MSG - the food was authentic and tasted yummy. We ordered the Special Set (Larmen + pork gyoza)
