Tokyo Ramen Street

Every time we are in Tokyo, we come here to eat 🍜 not that they are top of the world super but its convenient. Besides, they are actually 👍🏻 the noodle texture, the hot broth, the chasu nothing beats a 🍜 any day. There are many restaurants to choose from but mind you, during peak periods, do expect a long queue at every shop. But the queue wont take too long as most will immediately leave when finished with their meal i/o lingering on. Pay through the machine and wait in line for you to enter. The machines are now very modern and usually 🇬🇧 is available unlike many many years back where its more difficult then. Its more like looking at the picture and plonking the button and hope something nice come 🤪 Do come here to try if you are around Tokyo Station.

This is why I love coming back to Asia for breakfast compared to the US. Ramen for breakfast is always encouraged. Got the fish/miso spicy pork ramen. The sauce contained a rich depth of fish and miso flavor, the pork was tender, and the sauce was semi-thick. Which helps to coat the noodle with flavor greatly. The best part was the noodle; thick and chewy. I’ve eaten three bowls with just the noodle and sauce alone. The sauce was a tad bit salty, but solid overall.

Come a bit earlier than noon, so you can beat the line. Food here is authentic and awesome. One day I tried Ox Tongue from Sendai and another I tried Ramen; they were so great!

I love to eat ramen and there is plenty of ramen restaurant options here. Sadly, despite the plethora of restaurants, there's a dearth of vegetarian options. By the time I found one, Oragasoba Yaesu. I was pretty hangry and ordered the Tofu Ramen. The tofu was nice and sweet, while the soba had a fresh soba texture.

Tokyo Station just in general offers a great variety of good food to choose from and Ramen Street is one of them! The lines are long but move quick. Just choose and pay at the “ticket / vending machine” before getting in line.

Unique atmosphere. Didn’t want to wait in line for ramen so got a delicious bento styled lunch at a hot pot spot. Super inexpensive.

Tokyo Ramen Street is a tourist attraction in itself. Take a stroll down the underground corridor of endless mouth-watering ramen options and take in the atmosphere and pleasant smells. They have a bit of everything here, so you'll be sure to find an authentic dining experience that suits your needs.

Authentic Tokyo Ramen. Expect to wait for your turn. All the stalls are good, and service fast. Great place for good and tasty japanese Ramen.

Go to Hirugao for delicious shio-based ramen within Tokyo's famous Ramen Street! Went during lunch time on a Saturday during cherry blossom season. Needless to say, the line was long and I made the grave mistake of not grabbing a ticket from the vending machine prior to lining up!!! I got the ramen with all the toppings from the machine, and I waited about an hour total for seating, including my blunder. They offered me an apron when I sat down which I politely declined but really appreciated! I was wearing white, haha. I found solace in the chaos and atmosphere of the busy ramen restaurant, sitting by myself at a counter and peacefully slurping my noodles. They were delicious. They were warm. They were chewy. The toppings were cooked and flavored perfectly. I'm a fan of really light ramen broth, so if you don't want to go heavy on the fat, I highly recommend trying shio ramen at Hirugao!

This was another fun experience of being able to electronically order our food in a restaurant, and when it was ready, they call you out of line and sit you at a group table with your ramen ready to go. Very efficient. Unfortunately, our sense of wonder ended there. The ramen had thicker pieces of chashu pork than I'm used to, so that was a positive. My wife and I both ordered the standard ramen, and while the broth itself was good, we have had better. Also, the noodles seemed underdone, as they had too much "bite" back when you bit into them. The eggs were cooked well, though, so props on that. We both are glad we got to try some ramen in Tokyo, but feel we must have another opportunity for a more memorable bowl

Solid Ramen. Super tasty it can get busy but if you are wanting great Ramen for the price this is where you should go. Great locals spot too

We found Ramen Street inside of the Tokyo Station and we were craving for Ramen that night. There were a few ramen places to choose but we decided to try "Tokyo Ramen" (the name was so generic haha) We ordered two orders of the special pork bone soy sauce ramen (all toppings only 1,430 yen each, less than $10 USD per bowl, so cheap!), and we also ordered two orders of pork bone soy sauce ramen with nori seaweed seasoned soft-boiled egg (1,200 yen~ less than $9 USD) for our girls and a Garlic flavored cha-siu egg rice bowl (350 yen~ less than $3 USD omg!) as side dish. All the dishes tasted so delicious. I especially like the garlic-flavored cha-siu egg rice bowl because it was really delicious and ridiculously cheap. The grilled pork was tender and the soft-boiled egg cooked so perfectly. Highly recommended!!! Their special pork bone soy sauce ramen was not bad. I liked the soup base. It was very flavorful and rich. However, I prefer the thin ramen instead of the thick ramen though. The pork meat was so slim and without fat was not a fan for me. It was still a satisfying and delicious dinner though. P.S. I enjoyed reading their "Eating ramen instruction" (in English), it was very interesting. I'm also surprised to see the "Steve Jobs Apple vinegar" there. If it happens in the U.S., I'm sure that they may get sued. It was quite funny to see how they named the Apple vinegar though. :P

This is located on the bottom/basement floor (B1) when you enter Tokyo Station on the Yaesu side. It can be a bit chaotic but you'll access this place before entering the JR gates (so don't scan your IC card). Just look for some stairs to go down to the lower level. It's a smaller section than I thought but it's pretty much quick/easy ramen for folks who might need a quick bite before catching a train. Maybe not the best but for a weary traveler, it will hit the spot. I found a queue and joined it. Luckily, the one I joined is for tonkotsu (which I enjoy). You put your money in the vending machine to get a ticket and give it to the person in the front. My person spoke a bit of English and was helpful when I had some confusion for my first day in Tokyo. Now the food, it comes out fast and you're supposed to eat it fast. My bowl was delicious with a decent amount of pork and beautiful eggs. It's a good way to kickstart my Japan trip (and yours too, if you happen to be near Tokyo Station).

If you're a lover of ramen and noodles then this is the place to check out. A small alley of all ramen shops. Hard to tell which ones are good but you can't go wrong with any much like the rest of Tokyo. Difficult to find but it is located on B1. Follow the smell of ramen.

It took 30mins walking around Tokyo station to find this place. It ended up being on the ground floor below the main floor. My google map kept taking me in circles. I went bc there were 4.4k reviews on google for this place and it was 4.5stars. I should have done a better job reading the reviews to understand Tokyo street ramen was organized. Basically there are multiple options organized by sections. The first one you encounter is tonkatsu and it's very thick. I do not like thick broth. I'm disappointed I stood in this line because I did not enjoy the broth or the meal. I wanted the soyu broth but that line is all the way in the back in a different section. Maybe I would have liked it. But probably not because I didn't like the meat either. You order from a machine before you sit down. There is someone standing there to direct you. Everything here was just mediocre for me. It might just be my preference for not liking oily and creamy things. I think of you like that you'd love their tonkatsu. This was not for me.

Awesome food and No Soup noodle and Neo Ramen is great. I know some of the people hate the smell of the fish, but when you taste that soup, there is no dishonest, it's just beautuful broth, it is great!

Ramen so goood. I can eat ramen 24/7. Ramen was everywhere. Tsukenmen was great. If I could eat one thing forever, it'd be this. 5 Stars

Why is Tokyo so awesome? A whole block dedicated to delicious ramen? YES PLEASE. We made a whole afternoon of this area - visiting the Imperial Palace and then onto Tokyo Station for Character Street and kit kats. We had the ramen across the kit kat store since it had a line and thought it must be the best one! You order ahead using a machine. You put the money in first then order your dishes. The wait wasn't too bad - about ten minutes to get seated. I wanted to try something new and what I would not get in the states so I tried the dipping ramen. It was out of this world good. Chewy, bouncy noodles with eggs so jammy you can sell it as egg jam. The dipping sauce was scrumptious. I highly recommend!

Lots of ramen spots to choose from!! Crowded at times.. but good for aquick bite to eat.

Hard to find but this is a collection of maybe 5-7 ramen restaurants in a small food court under tokyo station called Ramen Street. Not sure which one we went to but it was very good.

Not going to lie. We picked this ramen place because the line was long. After paying for our ramen via the vending machine, we waited in line til we were called. Presented our tickets as we were seated. The ramen was okay. Nothing to write home about. I had higher expectations for the ramen at Tokyo Station.

Most major cities will have a ramen street- Kyoto had one and it was 3-4 times larger than this one but for the 8 stalls in this alley under Tokyo Station, all the stalls have withstood time and audience to make it on being a stall in the "Tokyo Ramen Street". It is free and no admission lines and free for all to just wander down into from the outside. Lines are long, but worth the wait. Tokyo Station underground is a behemoth grid of many many things to see for those who are wanting something indoors to do. There is character street and ramen street right underground. It is a large train station that is like the Grand Central Station of Tokyo. Order your ramen in those little coin/vending machines- you put your money and choose your selection and give the little slip of paper to the waitress/attendant. Come early in the morning if you have jet lag and want the morning ramen specials in a couple of stalls. That is, before 10:00 a..m but if you come later, just be prepared to brave the crowds and lines of people that come here to the world famous. We had our ramen at the vegan ramen place called Soranoiro that is not pork based- this is unique b/c most ramen in Tokyo are Pork based, soy based, or salt based. Seeing a place that didn't use those ingredients is unique and a MUST try if you are looking for the delicious and unique. The broth was sweet, clean, and flavorful. The noodles are adequately adequately chewy and the perfect texture.

This is the place I had the best tsukemen in my life!!! Unfortunately can't remember the exact restaurant I got it at, but it's towards the end!! Order at the kiosk, find a seat, and enjoy!!!

Review for Rokurinsh in the Ramen street. On our last meals on our trips, it's always a bust... It's probably because we leave it open as a free day and find something last minute. Well this was our last meal n Tokyo. Finding this location alone, I want to give it an one star! It was hell... It took us an hour to find this after we got off our train and somehow found the Tokyo station, but even that took us so long with so much walking and wandering around I was exhausted and livid. So yeah, best way is to get to Tokyo station and go down to South Yesu station and exit and head downstairs on the right and it'll be the fist ramen shop in front of you. Line wasn't so bad, around 20 minutes. Upon reaching a certain point, the staff will direct you to purchase your tickets and get back in line until you get seated at an open table. Like most reviews said, the broth was a bit fishy and it was on the salty side... On top of it, I hated that the noodles were cold... It was hard to debate whether to eat the noodles cold after mildly dipping it in sauce or smothering it in the hot sauce so that I can eat luke warm noodles. I guess I should have known better too. i'm not a fan of thick noodles, especially of those that's thick as udon noodles. So yeah, blah for me. Inside, there was around 10 bar seats and about 8 two and four seater tables. If we weren't so full we should have tried other ramen places in the street.

My travel partner heard of some amazing ramen shops that make up "Ramen Street" located under Tokyo Station. I was intrigued, so we went for lunch on the early side of our trip. And boy am I glad we did. Something we learned during 10 days in Japan is that spice is not their forte. That's ok, as Japanese food is amazing as is, yet we both really crave spice in much of our food. Enter Tokyo Tanmen Tonari Misato. We choose this spot amongst the 15-20 restaurants at Ramen Street, based on having a solid line of businessmen, and what appeared to be a spicy ramen picture on the vending machine. Fingers crossed! We successfully ordered ramen, gyoza and Asahi beers via the vending machine, got our tickets, and moved to the line to be seated. Everything moves so efficiently and quickly, we were seated in no time. Once seated, the server asked our spice level preference between 1-4. I selected a 2, my friend, the max of 4. The ramen came and it was covered in red spice and delicious!!!! It packed the heat we wanted, cut perfectly by the dry beer, and the pork gyoza was flavor packed and yummy, too. The server checked on us, concerned the 4 would be too much. Nope! It was just what she wanted. We enjoyed this ramen the most of any spot during our trip, so we made a repeat visit on our last meal, and had another stellar, spicy experience!

Inside Tokyo Station, follow the signs to the Yaesu South exit and then go downstairs. In addition to Ramen Street there were a lot of restaurants/dessert places/shopping. Don't remember the name of the place we ate at but the ramen had an anchovy-based broth. Very unique flavor. Not too strong either.

Tokyo Ramen Street: For some inexplicable reason, I was expecting Tokyo Ramen Street to be a sci-fi gothic scene out of "Blade Runner" where I'd be looking for ramen stands in a rundown alley populated with acrobatic androids covered in acid rain. But no, it's on the basement level of Tokyo Station near the Yaesu Underground Central exit, and it looks more like a high-end shopping mall with eight ramen shops in operation (photo: http://bit.ly/1ZZG1PX). When Jamie W. and I came upon it in the middle of the afternoon on the way back from Ueno Park, the entire area was still bustling with the lingering lunch crowd with queues at several places. By far, the most coveted and crowded of the bunch was Rokurinsha. I saw a YouTube video where Momofuku's David Chang was raving about their renowned tsukemen ramen with his typical avalanche of F-bombs, and those handmade noodles did look good. However, Jamie doesn't have much patience for lines and since I wasn't all that particular, we went to the one shop that had a few empty seats. It turned out to be one of the newest shops, Soranoiro Nippon which specializes in vegan soba ramen. Say what? Me want pork. Fortunately, as I was perusing their vending machine (photo: http://bit.ly/1OhxCSM), it turned out they served a ￥1,100 bowl of Pork Belly Tonkotsu Ramen. Whew, that was a close one. It was genuinely delicious with a nice broth that could have been a bit richer but with plenty of pork slabs and thick handmade noodles that were easy to slurp (photo: http://bit.ly/1mUxBeb). Jamie decided on the ￥800 bowl of Chicken Miso Ramen, same size as mine but with a darker, saltier broth and thinner noodles to go with the chicken thigh meat (photo: http://bit.ly/1PapjFL). Apparently you have to be the best of the best to open a shop here which makes a return visit inevitable since we'll have to try the other seven, right? So whatever prejudices you may have about dining in a subway station, get over it. In Tokyo, you can find jewels. FOOD - 4 stars...a solid bowl of ramen at Soranoiro Nippon with standout pork and noodles AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...one of the smaller shops but enough room to slurp and run SERVICE - 3.5 stars...attentive enough TOTAL - 4 stops...welcome to a street where you slurp

This is basically the "ramen museum" but closer and no admission fees. I highly recommend just going to ramen street for ramen rather than making the trek to Yokohama. Lines are long here but they go by fast and there's lots to see, whether it's across or in front of you. If you are traveling with a buddy, one person can stay in line while the other goes up the hall to grab a drink or snack. Lines are pretty much expected of everywhere you go in Japan! Aim for lines with more locals lining up rather than tourists. If you see all tourists and locals, that's a sure tale sign that the restaurant is no bueno!!

One of the most unique and fantastic places for Ramen! Aforementioned by everyone, this is not a PHYSICAL STREET. It is located in the Tokyo Station where the subway/train/buses connect. Few advice if you are (1) a foreigner tourist and (2) do not speak Japanese: 1) Getting Lost. You will get lost. It's okay. Circle around and get to know the Tokyo Station if you have time. Or try to ask an employee to point you in the right direction. If you perhaps charade the motion of eating ramen and patting your tummy, they'll probably understand. 2) Shopping & Eating. You'll also find other kinds of Japanese and Asian restaurants down there. But you're really there for the famous ramen street ;) There's plenty of shops around as well, including a POKEMON STORE!!! 3) Plan to Spend...a couple hours and also some $$. It's a wonderful place to go around and explore each store. Also you can count on eating twice if you walk around long enough ;) I got ramen and then also got Chinese food haha 4) Ramen Ramen Ramen. Lastly, although I probably OD'd on ramen at this point, I actually wasn't highly impressed by it. I only tried one shop so my experience is quite limited. But I thought Ippudo and Ramen Museum fared better in quality taste and experience. Prices and service are similar. To each his own! Overall, it was a pleasant surprise tucked away in a train substation. If you crawl outside in the sunlight and go exploring, it's so easy to come back here for your meals and then head home for some zzz's. Till next time!

My second time here at Ramen street. I tried Rokurinsha which is supposed to be the next "it" ramen place. I didn't try last time due to long line but we only waited about 10 mins today. They specializes in Tsukemen which is a dipped style noodle dish. Honestly Idk what the hype was.... I so disliked the ramen here. A. I don't like Tsukemen B. I don't like thick noodles C. I don't like thick broth Broth, on top of that, was very fishy in not so delicious way. I've had good fishy broth but this was not it. I will come back here for other ramen.

Located on B1F at JR Tokyo station on Yaesu side. They have 8 different famous ramen shops available. Nice way to try different ramen from all over Japan. Longest queue was Rokurinsya. I thought it was insanely long. All others were about 10-15 mins wait. Purchase your tickets from each restaurant. Cash only, so bring your yen. None of them offer a half size, so most you can try is just one bowl. Give yourself a plenty of time as you could be waiting for a while. Free wifi available for your Yelp check in and check out reviews on Yelp if you cannot decide which one to try. Not sure if I come back again but it was convenient as it is located right at the Tokyo station.

This is a ramen lover's paradise. I happen to love ramen so it's pretty much just that for me. 8 ramen shops all next to each other - so whatever type of ramen you are craving, chances are you'll find it here. I've tried 3 out of the 8 places and they are all decent. Oreshiki Jun - tonkotsu broth; can upgrade for bacon instead of cha-shu for 60 yen more than the special. Negi Shio Gyutan - beef tongue special; very flavorful and surprisingly good. Rokurinsha - tsukemen (cold noodles dipping ramen) has the longest line. There is actually a Rokurinsha (exact same shop) in Haneda airport in the international terminal. I didn't try it there but I assume it'd be good.

Time to getting away in styles with JR supper mamamia Bullet train for a ride...This baby is fast its run approx. 200-250mph or even more . You don't even feel it cuz it so fast. Anyway you have to take this bullet trains to go from point A to B and save you time (please reserve it in advance)..enjoy the rides...BTW the noodle Restaurants in and around stations are very good and reasonable prices...These are real NOODLES and those in State are not authentics..sorry to say...

Ramen Street is a must visit when in Tokyo. If you are a noodle and ramen lover like my wife, this is heaven for you. There are so many places to shop and dine at, looking around here would take hours so come with a game plan if you don't want to spend your entire day here wandering around. While we didn't have a game plan and we did end up walking a looking at shops for hours, it was well worth it. We got some cool souvenirs. The place we ate at was Rokurinsha. Best tsukemen I have ever had and it is not close. The wait was about an hour and you order via the vending machine, but worth the wait for sure.

I was at Tokyo Station buying tickets for the bullet train to Kyoto, it was lunch time and I knew that Ramen Street was down under there somewhere. And yes it is, you have to exit the gate and head down below ground. There are a lot of restaurants down there but this particular hallway has about 8 or 9 ramen places in a row. The most popular one is on the very end and you can tell because there is always a line for it. I wasnt feeling like a really heavy ramen and felt the need for some vegetables so I chose Tokyo Ramen Tonari, its at the opposite end of the hall way in the corner. They serve tanmen ramen, which is generally a lighter broth, noodles and with various raw vegetables piled on it. Really good, I had the lunch set, Ramen + fried chicken, 1140 Yen which is $9.68. Really love the crunch of the different toppings and the chicken is excellent. Give it a try, also check out Character Street which is right down the hall, a long corridor filled with dozens of stores that sell Japanese cartoon character merchandise.

Ramen street is located inside Tokyo station. If you have time to kill go there and rest your luck!

Tokyo Ramen Street is NOT a STREET! It is a "row" of top ramen restaurants in one area. We were around the Tokyo Station area, and yelped around and found this on yelp. Tokyo Ramen Street is located in the basement of Tokyo Station. There are 8 ramen shops, but after reading the yelp reviews, we decided to spend our time in line at Rokurinsha. Honestly, we were disappointed with the tsukemen (aka soup on the side and you dip the egg noodle into the soup). It was not even that good :( If we were back in the area, I would try one of the more traditional ramen at the other ramen shop--tonkotsu ;)

Tokyo Ramen Street might sounds a little tacky and touristy but it is in fact a really good idea and location. It might not be too easy to find as Tokyo Station can be a maze and looking at the directory might not be too helpful. I went around in a few circles but in a good way because by the time I found the street, it was way passed dinner rush. Now the question is which one to try if you can only pick one?! Seemed like Rokurinsha 六厘舍 is the most popular choice with a line even at this late hour. But there are 8 different shops to choose from.... Tokyo Ramen Street is a good place if you are in Tokyo for a short time and want to taste a few different style of ramen without travelling too far.

This is a row of Japanese ramen places and you get to pick and choose which one you want to go to. Honestly, I thought they're all the same place since some of them even opened up to the next place. I loved the vending machine order, the U.S. should start considering this concept of ordering stuff via a vending machine but then again, I can see people beating the crap out of it so maybe not. We were confused on how it worked but we finally figured it out. We ordered our ramen and drinks through the vending machine and then sat down. Our food came to us, just what we ordered. Great concept! My husband and I couldn't stop laughing at this new and innovative way to order.

So it might take a bloody lifetime to find this place, but gosh is it worth it. Yelp queen Briony C had been here and I'd bookmarked the place she went to. I couldn't work out which one it was (there was hardly any English names and I'm pretty sure she hasn't worked out how to read Japanese just yet) but we think it was the one with the giant line. Given that we are generally always hungry, we ended up at a little place about halfway down ramen street that was packed full of tourists and locals alike, but no lines for the vending machine and we didn't have to wait for a table. The vending machine has pictures, so we felt reasonably confident. And wow how good was this ramen?!? Melt in your mouth pork, gooey eggs and a delicious broth that was the best we've had in Japan - so probably the best in our lives? A side plate of goyza was also delicious but gosh I wish we'd gotten another bowl instead of sharing! Sharing on ramen street is for suckers!!!! Don't share!!! Yum.

I think we looked for Ramen Street for more than an hour but it was totally worth it. It's a small strip of ramen restaurants - I think about 8 all up, and apparently they're all really good. There's the most popular one, Rokurinsha, which had a massive queue and seeing as we were starving already, I was not keen to waste more time before getting food. So we headed to Ikaruga instead (東京駅 斑鳩) as the queue was quite a bit smaller. I'm not really sure you could go wrong on Ramen Street - it was such a cool place to hang out and eat and the toughest part was deciding where to eat! I'd definitely go back here (especially now I know how to find it). We ended up asking people for help which was the best way to find it!

I'm in ramen heaven. Something I've always dreamed is trying the best ramen in the world. It's so hard to find the alley filled with 10 different types of ramen, luckily we stumbled upon it and I'm so lucky to try this out. Short and simply review; I'm not disappointed :)

This was the first stop we made after arriving at Tokyo Station from Narita. The "street" is a hallway with about 8 different Ramen shops, the list is at the first wall. I left it to my cousin (a resident of Japan) to decide which restaurant to try and she said we need to go to the first one on the list as it had the best reviews...and of course it had the longest lines. But what I found was that folks weren't lingering over their big bowl of steamy soup and noodles so much so the line went kind of fast...we waited about 30 minutes. So after a 13 hr flight and 2 hrs of busy work, 30 minutes was worth the wait! We opted for the pork broth...it was very rich, great depth of flavor with an added seafood quality to it. They gave me a small bowl and fork and spoon for my son so he can slurp away too. The pork was very tender and flavorful. The noodles were hearty and much thicker than the ramen noodles I've had at ramen restaurants in Chicago. This totally hit the spot! Service is very efficient and nice. We were able to store my wheelie carry on outside so as to not crowd the space. It's pretty small inside...probably seats 16, but really efficient.

After reading Yelp reviews to try and figure out how to get to Tokyo Ramen Street, we were still lost. Save yourself some time and just ask one of the people working to point it out to you! "Ramen Street, doko desu ka?" When I first read up on Tokyo Ramen Street, I thought it was a real street with ramen vendors. It's not! It's just two rows of ramen shops (eight in total) in the basement level of the JR Station. You'll find posters of each restaurant, the chefs, and the different types of ramen they serve. Take your pick - Rokurinasha is probably the most popular one, which also means the line is the longest! Slurp up!

Order at the machine. There was a line, but we still got seated relatively quickly. The serving was fairly large. The ramen was tasty, and came with a good array of toppings. A good eat inside the station!

Meh, of the 3 Ramen places we tried while in Japan this was our least favorite (although it would be hard to live up to Ichiran!). We read good things about Ramen Street in Tokyo station, although we should have been a little more prepared to pick which place once we got there. We were definitely confused about which one was which, and just ended up choosing a place that looked full, but didn't have too long of a line. Noodles, chicken, broth, everything inside - all a-ok 3 stars.

In a hot August afternoon, I went to Tokyo Ramen Street to try my favourite Asian food: ramen. Lots of people walking by, hour long lines, all the delicious scents... it was an amazing (but hot) experience. I would definable do it again but first learn a bit more Japanese. It's a pity and a shame that once you stand in front of the machine to choose what to eat you need to ask for help. When the line is long and you take your time to choose you get annoyed looks. Anyway, this place is the place to go in TRS.

Amazing place to have ramen if you have some time to kill while waiting for the train inside Tokyo Station. Better for solo eating or very small groups as this is more a commuter area. There are multiple ramen restaurants in the same couple rows, hence "ramen street". All use ramen machines (typical for Japan) where you prepay for a bowl by selecting the ramen style and toppings you want on a vending machine. Though most restaurants had long lines, it's worth the wait and experience! At the end of the line, you give your order ticket to the server who will seat you and have a nice hot bowl ready for you in minutes.

Unfortunately we did not love Tokyo Ramen street as much as I thought we would. Obviously, your love for ramen street will heavily depend upon your choice of ramen. There are eight different ramen restaurants to choose from, and good luck as nothing is in English! We ended up trying two, since the first one was such a disappointment. Everyone loves Rokurinsha and the line for it is always the longest. The day we showed up there was a very short line so we though we hit the jackpot! But what no one tells you is that the ramen is at Rokurinsha is fishy!! There is a very strong anchovy taste. Not my thing. I was so excited, took a bite, and was horrified! So next we went to Honda ramen. This was slightly better as there was no fish whatsoever. I had a normal ramen and my husband got a dip ramen. They were ok, but nothing phenomenal. I've actually had better ramen in LA. Again, be prepared that you cannot order in English, so the whole process is a bit daunting. I'd skip this the next time I'm in Tokyo.

Amazing thick ramen. The pork bone soup was pretty bad ass.

I live in Los Angeles and so we have decent ramen places here, whenever I go back to Japan I get googlie eyed at the superior quality of ramen shops in Tokyo. So naturally ramen street was like visiting Disneyland for me. I wish I could have tried all the places here but just too crowded. In fact I ended up going to a rokurinsha near the Ueno station, near the Ueno zoo which was less crowded. I forgot which stalls I ate at but all were delicious. Sorry for the vague review. As for the ramen street itself. If you like ramen its a must visit in Tokyo. I would recommend trying other stalls besides Rokurinsha because they are just as good and there are other rokurinsha locations fairly close by without the fuss.

Ramen is the best comfort food and hit the right spot no matter how hungry or drunk that you are. I stumbled on this joint by accident, sadly majority of shops have finished up last order so I begged this poor Chinese gal to make an exception. Sadly the hot ramen was out and she had last batch of Tsukemen. It's better than Lawson Bento box. Tsukemen is similar to ramen, but the noodle and Warm soup comes separately. She was so kind she tossed extra Chashu on my bowl...Tsukemen was really nice and hit the spot. Ramen street at Tokyo station host several ramen shops, be sure to check out early hours so you'd have more selections to choose from. Many of them have vending machine to buy a ticket, but they are confusing unless you can read Japanese.

Tried TONARI ramen. It is different from the usual ramen. The noodle is thicker and has lots of bean sprouts. I ordered the spicy version. It taste good and at a reasonable price. There is no meat, mainly vegetables but u could order with Goyza. Comparing to the standard ramen, I prefer those.

Read the reviews on yelp and wanted to try this place out. Really hard to find underneath the Tokyo subway station. There is a restaurant street at Ramen Street and tons of food places in here you could spend hours in here eating and looking around. Signs are marked if you look. I wasn't expecting it to be that large. The station itself is beautiful. Found the ramen street was really smaller than expected. Easy to order your food. The waiters were very helpful. Didn't feel it was anything extra special compared to other dishes I've had in the streets. But worth it to go see what it was.

I really enjoy ramen. I was about the get extra spicy miso which really helped increase the flavor. I would definitely go back for some more.

Don't know the exact name of the ramen shop on this indoor alley. It's the one at the end across from the really pretty one devoted in red/black Japanese decor. There was a line so we opted for it. It was really good. The noodles were different from the ramen in Osaka. Sorry I don't know name

This is the best Tsukemen ramen I've had in Tokyo. Just a lot of kick in terms of flavor when dipping the noodle into the broth. Repetition of this process makes the experience a lot more enjoyable and addicting I must say. Someone complained in this review that she preferred traditional ramen like tonkatsu or whatever over Tsukemen. There's plenty if traditional ramen in the states. Why are you in Japan anyway? :)
