Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka

If you want a truly authentic Japanese ramen experience, this spot is a must-visit. The shop was full of locals, yet everyone was very welcoming, and they even offer an English menu for visitors. The staff were kind, attentive, and made the whole visit feel smooth and comfortable. I ordered ramen number 2, while my boyfriend went with ramen number 4. Both bowls were incredibly tasty. Ramen #4 had an impressive, rich umami flavor that really stood out, while ramen #2 was wonderfully balanced and packed with flavor. The handmade noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, giving them the ideal chew and texture. A quick tip: you’ll place your order at the vending machine immediately to the right when you walk in, then hand the printed ticket to the staff once you’re seated. Overall, I highly recommend trying this place!

It’s a simple, atmospheric spot with real character - far from polished, but memorable for its authenticity and warm service. • The shop has been running for 25 years, and its long history gives it a truly authentic, comforting feel. • The interior is cozy and atmospheric slightly worn, but in a way that adds charm rather than takes away from it. • We had the miso ramen, which was rich and delicious, and the special ramen, also full of flavor and really satisfying. • The owner is incredibly kind, speaks English, and gladly helps you choose the best dish. • A warm, character-filled place with real soul, perfect if you want genuine, classic ramen in a nostalgic setting.

If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese ramen experience, this is the place to go! The shop was filled with locals, but they were very welcoming to visitors and even had an English menu available. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. I ordered the clam ramen, and my boyfriend had the miso ramen. Both were delicious, but the miso really stood out—it had an incredible, rich umami punch that I’d definitely recommend. The noodles were handmade in-house and had the perfect al dente texture and chewiness, which made the bowls even better. They’re also well-known for their salt ramen, another great option to consider. A quick tip: you’ll order from the vending machine directly to the right after you enter, and it prints out a ticket that you hand to the staff once you’re seated. Overall, highly recommend!

Small, local vibes. Super yummy ramen and you get to order on a ramen vending machine and they bring it to you. Very yummy and quick easy meal.

Really good ramen spot, honestly could not recommend it enough. Food is super tasty; the broth I got with my shio ramen was super rich and the pork was also really good having the right flavor without the weird aftertaste you get at some of the chains. The proportions were large especially for the price. Food also arrived super quick, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The only thing I really can't give points for is that it is a little dusty inside the restaurant but if you're fine with that the food more than makes up for it.

Delicious affordable Ramen. Choose and pay at vending machine and enjoy. Authentic atmosphere with many local customers. They provide an english manual for the vending machine as well. Staff is also very helpful.

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.

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
