Echigoya Ramen Melawai

I remember this is being one of the first restaurant I visited on Blok M area. I've went here 3 times but this is the first time I write a review. Their pork ramen is famous. This time I ordered the humongous Monas Ramen, which is a pork based ramen, with generous thick cuts of pork and heaps of vegetables (cabbages and bean sprouts). It is so huge I think it should be shared between two people. Try the rich soup first and then eat or dip the vegetables into the soup, until you can mix everything. For IDR 138K it is a worthed amount of ramen indulgence.

Omg!!!! Pork broth ramen (Echiran ramen that staff recommended me) was much more delicious than I expected. Soup was rich and creamy. I never expected to Japanese ramen in Jakarta. It’s a happy surprise for me. Beer was very cold and affordable. Good ramen shop~

I think this is my 1st 5star food rating in Indonesia. There are a lot of Ramen options with different soup base including side dishes & alcohol drinks. I ate Echiran ramen (pork) with sesame & gyoza. The noodle is made by the shop itself and is my kinda noodle texture and thickness (springy & non-thick type). The soup type I had is creamy kind. Not salty, just nice. If u like spice, add the spice powder, you’ll love it. The meat is good but the egg yolk could have done the Japanese soft yolk style but the goodness of the noodle and soup outweigh the egg. The gyoza has “meat juice” in it. So it made the chewing smooth and flavourful! The restaurant isn’t big but good enough. The turnover is quick as people eat and leave. If u like Ramen, must try. I’ll be back to try other ramen soup base. The menu attached for your reference.

We arrived at a little over 11.30am on a Sunday, right as they opened. Someone was flipping the closed/open sign at the front door and the place was already almost full. Ramen order took about 40 minutes to arrive, but a don only took about 10. Loved the chasyu don and the takoyaki, but the soup that came with the don, the gyoza, and the ramen were all too salty for me. Also didn’t like the constant yelling of the staff. It felt chaotic, I was far from relaxed. I can only assume that this is intentional to get people who has done eating to gtfo immediately lol ramen portion was huge, and the don portion felt pretty small. Not one of my favorite japanese spots in the area, but my husband loved the ramen, so maybe it’s just a matter of taste. 19/10/25

Authentic Japanese ramen at Blok M, had the Echiran Ramen one, it was too fatty for me though the noodle itself was good. The pork was a bit stinky. The staffs were very kind, however the service was a bit slow since the restaurant was full.

Super nice ramen with full-of-flavor broth. I try their cold ramen and it blew my mind. With plain broth & soup...a friggin perfect combo! A must try : Potato cheese wrap (idk the name but it has triangle shape) and their KARAGE!! I will def back for their cold ramen ..yum!

An authentic ramen spot, and the japanese owner is frequently there. They serve pork and chicken here, so great for everyone. I strongly believe that the miso tsukemen is the best thing on their menu, with the thick noodles of course. The ocha is free refill, the gyoza is amazing, and the karaage is freshly fried and so tasty. Love this spot, will keep coming back.

We had the Jakarta ramen and echiran ramen, Jakarta is nice but its on the salty side. Echiran more on the creamy side. Was disappointed with the egg, it wasn't the runny yolk ramen egg. The thick noodles is too al dente, too chewy for my liking. I prefer the thin noodles better.
