Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka

Cozy ramen shop with limited seating. They use a ticketing machine which unfortunately didn't have any English, but the pictures were enough. The portion for the ramen was quite generous, and it's always nice to watch the ramen chefs working if you sit at the counter. The broth was a lighter shio broth and mine came with pork chashu and shrimp dumplings/wontons. It made for a very filling meal without feeling too heavy.

Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka – The Midnight Ramen Spot in Ginza If you ever find yourself in Ginza late at night, craving a bowl of comforting ramen, let me put you on to Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka. This is literally the ONLY ramen spot in the area that stays open super late. I rolled up here at midnight, and there was already a queue—a sign that something good was waiting inside. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. The Perfect Late-Night Feast I kicked things off with their ikura starter, and it was honestly the best decision. That briny pop of fresh salmon roe? Absolutely perfect before diving into the main event: Hakodate spicy ramen. The broth? Rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The spice level? Just right—enough to warm you up but not overpower the delicate balance of flavors. The noodles had that perfect chew, and every bite just hit the spot. Great Food, Even Better Vibes One of the best parts? The chit-chat with the chefs and staff—turns out, many of them are from Vietnam! Super friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. The whole place had such a great atmosphere—the kind of spot that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. Final Thoughts If you need a late-night food fix in Ginza, Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka is the place to go. Great ramen, great people, and the perfect way to end a night out in Tokyo.

Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka is a must-visit for ramen lovers! The spicy ramen and miso ramen are absolute standouts—deep, rich, and bursting with flavor. The broth is perfectly balanced, with layers of umami that make each bite unforgettable. The ramen noodles are cooked to perfection, with just the right texture, and the thinly sliced pork is tender and flavorful. Lot's of vegetable toppings. All of that standard (i.e. no extras added to the order) in a very generous bowl. While I stuck with the spicy and miso options, the seafood ramen that others at my table ordered looked incredible. The attention to detail and quality in every bowl is clear.

Ramen was really good, followed other reviews and had the spicy ramen, and it didn’t disappoint on a cold winter night. And a bonus that this is one of the few places that opens past midnight.

Really believe this place should be more highly rated than the 3.9 rating, though I do see it's climbed up in rating since we went last November 2023. We had gone as a group of 8 and were split in to 2 tables. We were able to try the various ramen broths - asari clam, shio, and miso ramen. We enjoyed all of them. My asari clam ramen was fresh, clear, clean-tasting (no fishy after taste), and full-bodied despite its light mouth feel. The noodles were OK. The service was a little lacking, as we felt like we were getting rushed about, but we totally understand how perhaps our big group was taking up a lot of space/time. I really loved the quirky ambience, though. The shop is dark wood and moody - and you see boiling pots of noodles with steam rolling up high in the open kitchen. In the background, jazz music was playing, so it felt like we were in a smoky speakeasy. I loved it though! Overall, better than average experience. We appreciate the craft and hard work of the chef!

5/5 is my rating. It’s run by a young staff, attentive, very helpful and will make your Ramen your way. Just awesome .. more than 5stars if I could say … must try out on your visit to Tokyo.. not a Michelin star restaurant but nothing lesser. The automated ordering machine is a blessing and the service is super fast ! Well done

Decent price. Decent eat, but nothing to write home about. Meal sizes are good.

Would say average ramen. Not great but not bad. We tried 4 different ones and nothing stood out. The soup was ok and so were noodles. What likely ruined it for us was it was 34 degrees outside and seems like the AC was broken inside. Just made it that much harder to enjoy the dinner properly.
