Echigoya Ramen Melawai

I have visited this place many times, and in my opinion there is one menu item that truly stands out, both in terms of flavor and presentation: the tsukemen. The noodles are perfectly cooked with a great texture, while the dipping broth is rich, deep, and full of umami without being overwhelming. Every element feels well balanced, and you can tell that real attention is paid to detail, from the plating to the overall dining experience. After trying various items on the menu over multiple visits, the tsukemen remains the most memorable and consistently excellent. It is clearly a signature dish and, without a doubt, the best choice here. Highly recommended for anyone visiting this place.

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

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.

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!

One of the best Japanese ramen in Jakarta. If you like strong flavor, go for the samurai tsukemen. It has chashu inside the dipping soup too, so don't worry about the only 1 slice of chashu on your ramen. Dilute your dipping soup with the wari dashi after finishing your noodles to drink it as a reward, it's really heart-warming. However you might want to ask them for smaller type of noodles, because the default noodles are thick, heavy and they send you a serious portion, that bowl is seriously deep. Gyoza is okay, ebi furai was a bit underwhelming, taste like frozen ebi furai. Another complain that I have was why does it comes with hard boiled egg ? Why not ajitama ? I want my egg comes with runny, soft yolk on my ramen. Second complain is I wish they straighten the noodles before they put it in the bowl, the noodles are long, kinda tangled and it's hard to pick them up with the chopstick.
