Iruca Tokyo Roppongi

Was walking around the area and stumbled across this (at the time) not so busy Ramen place. So decided to give it a try Wow was I impressed. Upon sitting down did I realize they were a Michelin Guide establishment! Pretty simple setup, cashless ordering system at the door. Sit down food comes and the you leave. By the time we finished there was an substantial lineup The food was awesome and the broth was piping hot! The meat was so tender and the eggs were just molten oozing perfection. The dumplings were so flavourful and tasty too! I couldn't help drinking a lot of the soup Definitely worth the price and quality! Give them a try!

Another highly popular ramen shop that we had to wait outside for 1hour before we were able to get inside. Ramen enthusiasts may be able to handle the wait time, and it was certainly delicious, but plan wisely. If you are going as a group, make sure that everyone goes at the same time, else they will force you to the back of the line... The ramen here in one word is elegant. They use brand chicken, pork and shellfish for their broth and the shoyu based porcini was light, but full of umami. Special care was taken in each noodle preparation and you can taste the elegance! The meat balls, pork and chicken slices all have unique flavors with the pork slice being my favorite (it's really soft and juicy)! Crowd Size: Very High (1hr wait) Payment Method: PayPay

Arrived at 10:15 on a weekday and were the first in line. The second group arrived at 10:20. We ordered the famous Special Porcini Shoyu ramen. The broth was very unique and had a depth of flavor. The noodles and meat were very good too. The chicken had a bit of Yuzu flavor. Staff was friendly and polite. Overall worth the hype!

Was a really unexpectedly bad experience at the end of our japan trip. The guy who was preparing our ramen sneezed inside the ingredients in front of us. (Two separate times). Also if people are close to finishing their ramen this guy starts staring at them to pressure people eat faster and leave for more customers to come. I rarely write bad reviews but this was a hard one to miss, especially after an amazing set of experiences we had the whole trip. We were just in the neighborhood and came across but there are tons of better ramen restaurants i would highly suggest to avoid this one.

I recently tried Iruca Tokyo in Roppongi, and the ramen was very good ; definitely high quality with a deep umami flavor. I lived the combination of 4 types of broth which was included in the “special” ramen. I could really taste tge different elemnts throughout the eating experience and in the aftertaste. The broth was quite shio-forward, which isn’t my personal favorite since I tend to prefer less salty ramen, but it was still well-made and satisfying. However they do have a yuzu option, which i sadly did not try, which i might go back to try. Luckily, I got in during the first seating, because by the time I left there was a long line of people waiting ; even in the sweltering heat! That said, I wouldn’t wait in line for it. While the ramen itself is solid, it’s not something that blew me away or felt truly unique compared to other spots in Tokyo. Regarding the service, I want to clarify that I understand ramen is typically a quick meal ; you don’t expect to linger or have long conversations with staff. Still, the service felt minimal and somewhat transactional, like they were focused mostly on getting the ramen out the door rather than creating a memorable experience. The staff were polite, but it wasn’t as warm or engaging as some other ramen shops I’ve been to. Overall, Iruca Tokyo delivers a quality bowl of ramen, especially if you enjoy a strong umami and salt-forward flavor. But if you’re looking for an exceptional or immersive experience, it may not quite hit the mark.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's so good we came back! An unforgettable ramen experience at Iruca Tokyo Roppongi We had two different ramen bowls (porcini mushroom special and Yuzu ramen) at Iruca Tokyo in Roppongi and they were absolutely phenomenal – easily among the best we’ve ever had in Tokyo. Each bowl was a masterclass in flavour: one with a delicate, clear broth topped with silky chashu and herbed butter that melted into umami heaven; the other a rich, shoyu-based beauty with perfectly cooked egg, dumplings, and tender meats. Every element was thought out, balanced, and delicious. We were lucky with the timing – only waited around 10 minutes. The staff were incredibly kind and respectful, and we really appreciated the clear rules. This is a place that values the food and the craft, not just photos or hype. You’re encouraged to savour and respect the meal, and that makes the experience even better. Iruca is not just a meal – it's a reminder of how powerful simple, well-executed food can be. If you're in Tokyo, this is an absolute must!!!

We went to the Roppongi store around 10, made the 1st group Restaurant have around 15 seats, I’ll assume if your arrival before 10:20, you should have the chance go in with 1st round of people The ramen is pretty delicious, it is chicken broth I went to Ginza Hachigo the day before. Both restaurant all have really good favor and all chicken broth base ramen

As a visitor from the U.S., we wanted to have the best authentic ramen experience, and Iruca did not disappoint. Note- there WILL be a line and you will have to wait. We waited 32 minutes after arriving at 5:45pm (just for some context). The entire restaurant is 10 seats, with a side room made for 4. There are no photos allowed in the restaurant so it’s very important to be respectful of that. You will order and pay from a kiosk, which thankfully can swap to English for easy understanding. This is not a restaurant to chitchat with friends and take your time. They expect you to eat, and once you are done you leave. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great ramen that’s lowkey and cheap.
