Ramen Horiuchi

The noodles are flat, thick and quite soft. Generously optioned. My son had an 大盛り　(bigger potion of noodles) and the bowl is also bigger physically and the said bigger potion is huge. Other son had the Charsiu noodles & the famously enormous Charsiu pieces were excellent. They were tender, juicy and cooked and flavoured to perfection. Broth is Shoyu and crystal clear. Thick braised bamboo, spinach and amazing Charsiu, nori. Simple Showa style. Personally I like my noodles a bit more al dente. But it is personal preference. You buy ticket at the entrance and give them to the staff when seated. We had to wait but very little. Ramen is meant to be eaten quickly and we don’t hang around chatting in Ramen places - there are more suitable places for this (please respect this culture.) Service is polite and quick, place is very clean and chefs in all whites makes me feel this is quite sophisticated for a ramen. It was a perfect way to end our year, thank you! 🍜

1000x better than Manrai. Just go here. The chashu at least tasted like they put care into it. The noodles were essentially the same like the other place. At least, I didn't have to wait. Would I go again over Manrai? Yes, even if I had to wait.

If you’re near Shinjuku Station’s West Exit, I highly recommend this ramen shop. It’s a small place with just counter seating, but the soy sauce ramen is fantastic. I tried the “Tsukimi Ramen,” which has an egg in it, and it was delicious. When I visited, there weren’t any other foreign tourists, but I’m sure you’ll love it too. Definitely check it out!

Super yummy and good portions for the price. Highly recommend!

So worth!! Got the chashu zaru style because of heat and prepare to eat! You see the first layer of pork on top, but there's more underneath! The portion is noodles is just perfect too! Broth was perfect umami, not too salty, well balanced. All this for ~1100 yen!

Such delicious ramen! My husband and I have the pork broth and it was delicious. The staff couldn’t speak English, but they were very helpful and friendly despite this. If you are not Japanese, I would recommend sharing a bowl with someone. My husband and I could have certainly shared. The serving sizes are massive!

A surprisingly good ramen spot with excellent noodles. While the broth and pork weren't to my taste, overall, it's a very solid ramen shop.

Tasty ramen with tender meat. Loved the the soyu taste. Will visit again soon

I was craving for some Tsukemen before heading out to Haneda airport. There were a couple of places near the hotel I was staying. While most of them won't be open till 11:30am which pushes my time to catch transportation to the airport, Ramen Horiuchi opens from 11am which worked well for my schedule! Their broth is soy sauce base which is different from most of places - mixture of tonkotsu and heavy fish stock. I actually liked their broth...not too rich/heavy, and flavorful. One person was dedicated to cook noodles, and another person was working on placing toppings and serving noodle to customers - they were both very efficient. They only have bar-counter seats and you need to buy ticket from the vending machine inside before placing your order.
