Fuunji Tokyo Ramen Yokocho

Stumble on this at the Tokyo train station. Have visited their main branch and the queue was insane. So happy there is no queue at this branch. It is as good as I remembered.

A popular tsukemen spot in Shinjuku. While the Yaesu Underground Ramen Alley is lined with famous ramen shops, this is the top recommendation for tsukemen specifically. Of course, their ramen is also delicious, so choosing that wouldn't be a mistake either. The ramen features a well-balanced broth, rich and flavorful with a unique blend of chicken and seafood aromas. The ticket system makes ordering easy, and you can enjoy your meal casually at the counter.

This ramen bar is nestled among three others in the basement level of the station. Don't be fooled by the location though, as the Tonkatsu is excellent!

I would to tell everybody to come to eat this brunch.There is no line no one staving watching on your back. Food was great thick sauce dipping (a little bit much savory)noodles was firm. Nice and handsome staff. Clean and bright place good vibes.

First time at this location and it is just like the original shop. Still a must go to shop whether here or original. The location is not the "original" ramen street you see on google maps/articles. It is further north within tokyo station and near exit 15 (see pic). You buy your ticket first, then wait in line to be seated, and line was quick waited maybe 10 min on a weekday lunch. Pictured is 200g noodles which is a regular portion. I once did the large 300g at the original location and regretted it, but that all depends on how much you normally eat.

Wonderful bowl of tsukemen from the piping hot broth which was thick and full of intense umami flavor, to the perfectly cooked and chewy noodles. The rich chicken and fish broth served by Fuunji is packed with flavor and definitely a must try. When nearly done with your me, add the soup-wari and drink the soup. It elevates the flavor and tastes delicious. Came here at near-closing and there was no line at all. It is a little bit hard to find given that it’s in the underground Yaesu mall, it’s near exit 14/15.

Price: ~AUD $18/pp Value: 10/10 Food aesthetic/presentation: 9/10 Taste: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Meal type: Tsukemen Return value: 10/10 Experience: 10/10 Bucket List Bite: Tsukenmen Queue Time: 10 min/none (the second time) Overall: 10/10 *One of the best I've ever had. Cannot recommend Fuunji enough!

I went here for a quick dinner of Tsukemen - which consists of a plate of noodles and a bowl of hearty, thick broth filled with pork, bamboo shoots, onsen egg, spring onion and dried seaweed. The noodles are to be dipped into the bowl of thick broth. When you’ve finished the noodles, you can pour some soup (in a flask on the counter) into the bowl of broth and then drink it to finish off the meal. The tsukemen is the only dish that this restaurant serves - a consummate specialist. I ordered the regular size together with extra pork chashu (a very generous serving) and it was more than enough. As with all ramen shops, service was quick and polite, and very good value for the portion and quality. You might find the noodles to have a slightly alkaline flavour. Also this tsukemen shop is outside of the Tokyo station ramen street, so away from the crowd, and easy to get a seat.
