Torisoba Zagin Niboshi

Hands down bar none our favorite meal of the whole trip, and it was the only thing we ate twice on our trip. Still speechless about how insanely delicious this ramen is - super creamy and rich broth without being overly salty, PERFECTLY chewy noodles, tender and juicy chicken, the burdock chips added a nice crunch, even the freaking beef sushi on the side was good - like bro that's not even your main focus, that's just a side quest, and it's that good?! I will say when we came back we also tried the fried chicken side and that was just mediocre. All in all, can't recommend this place enough. We're from NYC and have no shortage of amazing food and yet we're going to be thinking about this place for a long time. Already wish I could go back and eat it again!

I highly recommend the white broth, it so rich and flavourful and it blends so well with all the ingredients. It's not rich to the point where it's too strong, just the right balance. The beef sushi is so fresh too. I also absolutely love the atmosphere here the staff and chef are so friendly and hospitable. Great food, great people 10/10 would recommend

Great price. Treats their customers and staffs very well. They give you an apron to wear to prevent splatters (you can request for one). My favorite ramen store in Osaka went 2 times in a week. I recommend getting the fried chicken on the side if you like strong bursting flavors. 15-20 minute wait usually, but not an issue for the Japanese.

Had this place recommended to us by a local and rightly so. The broth had a very intense chicken and umami flavour. The Raman dish I ordered came with a couple of pieces of fried chicken on the side which were also very good. Will be coming back to this place next time I’m in Osaka.

This ramen shop is located in the Shinsaibashi area. Every time I visit Osaka, I never miss coming here. The ramen noodles are perfectly chewy and soft, and the broth is fragrant, savory, and not too salty—delicious without being too rich. Overall, it's very tasty. The beef sushi included in the set is also very delicious. The shop itself is not very big and has limited seating, so during lunchtime or dinner hours, you might have to wait.

So glad that they open through without a lunch break. The milky chicken broth was impressively tasty. It wasn't salty either. Slurped it all up

Good chicken soup based ramen. The soup was thick and rather agreeable, the meats hanging on the bowl were pretty tender and well seasoned. No need to specially pay a visit, but would consider as an option if I happen to be in the vicinity.

Delish!! Perfectly executed. Every bite of noodle was al dente and the sauce and broth was thick, rich and beautiful! We had both the dry and the broth one. Each was super tasty. And the meat sushi that came with it? Heavenly! Now I know why there’s always a queue out there. Best time to come is after 2pm

Husband and I recently visited this restaurant during our visit to Osaka and I was so happy we did. Upon getting to the restaurant, you order through the machine, which gives you tickets to provide to the staff. It is cash only. The menu on the machine is in Japanese but with pictures. We were able to use Google Translate to identify the differences. Getting closer to the front of the line, I did notice a printed out English menu on the same table that the machine is on. Either way we didn't have much difficulty ordering. This restaurant is small. There were a couple of tables that can fit 4 people and the rest were bar seats. It made for a very intimate and homey feeling despite the modern decor. We got the chicken soba + sushi meat set and chicken tsukemen. My husband had the chicken soba and I got the tsukemen. I love love love the broth. It was creamy and was so flavorful and the noodle was the perfect consistency. If you like a lighter flavor, go for the tori soba. The sushi beef was great as well and worth a try! Also can we look at how well the meals are presented?! I definitely recommend coming here, but prepared that there will be a queue.

As with most ramen places in Japan, you order outside at a coin operated machine. They have a paper with the English translation of the machine options as well. We tried the chicken ramen, which had super creamy broth. The thick fish broth ramen was interesting but not quite to our taste, maybe we would like the thinner fish broth. And the dipping ramen was pretty good too. The ramen also has the option to come with sides like beef sushi, karaage fried chicken, pork rice, etc.

Creamy soup on a windy winter night! * * * EXPERIENCE * * * Arrived at 7:30pm on a Thursday night, about 20 people ahead of us. Similar to most ramen joints there's a machine you buy tickets while you are lining up. There's an English menu right next to the machine explaining each option. A pretty small place sitting 10 people, it's decorated in modern style, right above the bar table there are jars of sardines on the top showing what's used in the soup. * * * FOOD * * * Karaage: A Very juicy meat, the breading is thin and super crispy. It comes with 3 huge pieces. Only 300 yen! Chicken Soba: A The soup was super creamy - it's salty on the first sip but because of the creaminess it created a roundness feeling in your mouth full of chicken flavor. Before the bowl was served they actually used a beater kind of tool to inject air into the soup, perhaps that made the soup even more smooth.The noodle was thin and spongy. The pork Chashu was not as tender as I wanted to be but with a smooth texture, the chicken breast meat was actually more tender than the pork. The burdock added was a smart choice, it's rough texture mixing with the creamy soup created a perfect balance. The egg yolk looked super red but it's different from typical half boiled egg as there's a slight hint of smokiness to it. The whole bowl of noodle is very unique, felt super warm and creamy, perfect for a winter night!

We went here twice in our five days of visiting Osaka (and these 5 days included exploring Kyoto and Hiroshima!). So yes, we loved this place and we'll definitely seek it out anytime we return to Osaka. Days later, I craved the seriously perfect bowl of ramen - creamy, milky chicken soup, thinly sliced smoked pork, and moist chicken, topped with crispy gobo, and a side of smoked bright orange egg. Every component was perfect (though I'd probably choose a thicker noodle, but I guess that's personal preference). My husband loved the tsukemen (I did like his noodles better), but I enjoy ramen overall more than cold dipping noodles). And so, days later, when we returned to Osaka after a visit to Tokyo, we snuck in one last eating adventure here, and couldn't have been happier. This time, we went for lunch, so the rice came with a free bonus piece of crispy fried chicken. The 150 yen rice was tasty, fried with gobo and carrots and egg and soy sauce. I also knew the restaurant knew how to prepare meats perfectly so added a 350 yen roasted plate and found a beautifully presented plate of chicken and pork, some seared as small cubes, and a large piece of seared chicken. I do have to say that I enjoyed the regular sized ramen (only 850 yen!) more than the large sized ramen - although it was only 100 yen more, it felt like a never ending bowl of noodles, and I didn't appreciate each bite as much as with the smaller bowl. Everything was beautifully presented - it seemed like the fanciest ramen shop I've ever been to, with the most delicious dishes.

Just amazing! Perfect hole in the wall restaurant with the best ramen I have had in my life.

The Ramen game in Japan should be an olympic quest. I think it's the broth that differs one from another This place besides the enticing and sculptural visual had an INCREDIBLE flavor. Note. Vending machine has no pictures so buy something that says "#1" and you wont go wrong. Excellent. Absolute Excellence. that broth!!!

One of the best things I have ever put in my mouth hands down. The dipping sobs noodles were so crazy good I had the shivers at first. The hostess was also very nice and took very good care of us. I highly highly recommend this spot.
