Menya Jouroku

Really tasty Ramen. I recommend the most popular version, highlighted in the menu. The place is really small so could be a situation that need to wait in line but it is nice that there are waiting spots inside. Food comes fast and it is possible also to order some sides. Service is nice, speaks English. Toilet is really small, for bigger guys will be hard to operate there. Overall one of the best Ramen. Simple and tasty for a good price.

Excellent affordable Osaka-style ramen ❤️ pls don't expect top notch service for foreigners as they're damn busy. Amiable staff but don't expect them to lip service and entertain you. Go in ,order, go out ❤️ don't chat and stay seated after eating as there are always ppl queueing ❤️ Pleasant ❤️❤️❤️

Menya Jouroku is a well-known ramen spot in Osaka that reflects a very traditional and straightforward style. The restaurant is relatively small, with a local feel that attracts regular customers rather than tourists. Its old-style signage and simple interior emphasize authenticity and Japanese identity. The menu is limited and focuses on classic ramen options, featuring a rich broth and firm noodles without unnecessary experimentation. The atmosphere is functional and quick, making it more about enjoying the ramen than lingering for long periods. Waiting times can happen during busy hours, and it may not suit those looking for comfort or variety. Overall, it offers an honest and genuine look into everyday ramen culture in Osaka.

If anyone goes there please note each person has to have an order. We only had one combo and the cook told us each person had to have an order. We got in late to Osaka and it was open woth some seats. The place is very dingy with the chef cooking the noodles right next to a garbage pail. To put it plainly the ramen is very average. Char sui lacked any flavor, the broth had no depth on either ramen. We went with the deluxe and a miso ramen. We had a mini combo and got their pork rice bowl as well which was we mediocre at best. I have a feeling they were using day old rice and the pork was under seasoned and dry.

A ramen shop a few minute’s walk away from the Den Den Town area. The place only has counter seats, and the queue is inside using stools that face the eating customers. I ordered their chuuka soba with extra meat slices. The bowl is the most aggressive soy sauce ramen that I have ever eaten. The spice from the fresh onion gives a good kick from the mellow yet dark broth. It reminded me of a ru rou han bowl from Taiwan but with noodles. I wish that the slices from the extra helping of meat was as thin from the one provided in the standard bowl, but that is negligible from the overall quality.

One of the best bowls of ramen you can get in Osaka, it’s a very unique taste that you can’t get it anywhere else! Not sure why there are so many reviews about the chef being rude, they were really kind and strict about the rules to follow as this restaurant gets very very busy. If you’re in Osaka you cannot miss out on this place! My recommendation is to arrive 15 minutes early as during 6:30pm there can be a long wait.

Cannot recommend highly enough! We came to try Osaka's famous Takaida Ramen and were so impressed! The flavours were delicious and friendly service

Best ramen so far, this restaurant has won best ramen in Osaka for the past 10 years and we can confirm, it was amazing ! They also serve a homemade drink that matches perfectly the ramen broth.
