terrible!

This ramen is very good and delicious pork broth. I was walking hone on evening and I stumbled upon this place. Usually this whole area is very quiet during the weekdays at around 8pm so I was very surprised to see a ramen place here. I seized the opportunity to get myself a bowl and I was very satisfied afterwards. Price is around 1000 yen per bowl but there are many options.

Be warned, this is "back-fat" style ramen. In addition to rich, creamy broth, it has little bits of delicious fat floating around.A timeless establishment, you will most likely find at least a short line to even step up to the street level standing-only counter. Orders only via machine/token (thankfully English signage), very reasonable 1000yen for chashu ramen 1200 extra large) as of 7/25/2018. Counter has bowls of fresh cut spring onion, garlic paste, and spicy stuff so you can doctor your bowl to taste. Oh, and free jasmine tea (served an initial glass, refill yourself from pitcher within reach).I found chashu portion good, noodles a nice chew and highly slurpable, and broth a very balanced flavor. Would not recommend finishing every bite and gulp, you will feel that extra fat for a while.Solid 'A' ramen experience.
