Dogenzaka Mammoth

For fans of thick and rich Ganja-style tsukemen shops like Rokurinsha, Tomita or Fuunji. Always seems to be full but never long waits. Soup very filling and balanced with sweetness. Spicy is decently spicy! Two types of noodles are offered but it seems that everybody chooses the chewier wheat noodle.

We recommend getting the tsukemen set with egg, spicy version (if you like spicy even level 3 is not that bad), get the noodle type they recommend. The actual noodles are very chewy and delicious. The tsukemen is super heavy and salty, pork was kind of dry. Egg was a bit over. Otherwise it was a perfect introduction to tsukemen.

One of the restaurants that made it onto my "places to revisit" list if I ever return to Tokyo. Thick and flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and super friendly staff. One of the best tsukemen I've ever had!

This is my 3rd time here in the past 5 years. You have to add this place to your list if you are a Tsukemen lover, thick broth with a lot of spices, amazing taste 🫠🤤.

We ordered thru machine, Noodle came in big portion with genereous size of pork. There was free soup stock in a jar, that we can add coz the gravy was pretty thick. But I thought it was a TEA, so i poured in a glass and drank it!!!! There were people queing outside as well. Food was delicious!!!

Hands down one of the best tsukemen we've ever had in Tokyo. Fish-based dipping noodles that are thick with awesome bite. Not too chewy but just enough to be a pleasure to eat. We have a favorite tsukemen place that's very similar near where we live and this place is undoubtedly better. Recommended by my wife's brother, really glad we checked it out the next time we were in Shibuya. As the noodles are awesome, I'd recommend upgrading for extra noodles (oomori) for JPY 50. Well worth it. They'll ask you to pick from two noodle types. They'll recommend the one on the right called daihyoumen, make sure you go for that. The dipping soup base comes with really good chashu pork slices as well as menma (bamboo shoots). I'd also get an egg as well which was pretty good. The soup itself is thick with a strong fish base and a noticeable lemon zest to cut through it a bit. Price is reasonable for the high quality and being near to the center of Shibuya. If you're any kind of Japanese noodle fan and looking for a local favorite, definitely try this place. You may need to wait outside around peak times, it was full when we first arrived on a rainy day.

Line moves fast so don't be afraid to queue up! You can order with the machine but you might need some Japanese to converse with the staff (who asked about which type of noodles we wanted) Great tsukemen, make sure to add chashu (pork) if you want it as it doesn't come in what looks like the default bowl option!

The best dipping ramen we had in our trip to Japan, highly recommended! We had to wait in line for a little bit but the queue was really fast and definitely worth the wait, don't go hard on the spiciness if you are not used to it 🔥
