Unnamed Ramen Restaurant

The most unique ramen I’ve had in Japan yet. Can taste the grounded bonito used in the broth. Very very heavy for a chicken ramen. The texture of the noodles was perfect, garlic chives sweet, and the motsu was incredible! I’ve seldom had as good motsu, even in yakiniku restaurants. The place was a little hard to find, but I loved the atmosphere of the shop. It really concentrates on the flavour and texture instead of some fancy resto for your Instagram.

It was a bit hard to find, but I managed thanks to photos from a past review. The style of the dining area is lovely and the air con is strong, which I love. The food is very flavourful and unique. It was too salty for me but I can tell that a lot of effort went into the ramen. I loved the eggs. They had red yolks, were cooked perfectly, and the outside had a deeper colour than most. 5 stars!

A very cool underground (literally and figuratively) ramen shop. Not a lot of selection (it's digital order and cash only) but everything was fresh and delicious. Would bring friends back here for sure.

I've been here 5 years ago and the wait was crazy. I didn't recall the reasons but I saved it as one of the best ramen restaurants I've had. As I returned to Kyoto, I gotta come back and now I know why I love this ramen restaurant. There is no wait. I was shocked. Knowing foodies always go for the new restaurants and try new things, it was sad so see this excellent ramen restaurant not having the attention like it used to. The ramen texture still amazing. And it looks like wheat noodle but doesn't taste a bit like it. Very al dente. The soup is why I liked about this place. They use tonkotsu mix with the Tsukemen soup to combine an extraordinary flavorful soup. I love Tsukemen so that's why I love the soup so much. Very intense flavor. I watched them make the Tonkotsu soup. Pretty labor intensive squeezing the flavor out of the pork bones and meat. This place is hard to find cause it's got no name!!! Attached photos will show you where it is. I hope it'll still be here next time I come.

The ordering machine has an English menu. I tried the layered soup base and it was quite rich in flavor but can feel heavy as I worked through the bowl. Noodles were cooked nicely and the charshu was still moist. The beef cartilage was pretty oily which I would give a miss. Overall a hearty bowl of ramen in a minimalist industrial themed sub basement.

Simple. Quick. Delicious. You order from a kiosk, sit down and place your tickets in front of you, and someone grabs them to get your food to you. You can smell the fresh noodles that they use throughout the space. They have several spices that you can add to you dish if you’d like as well at your seat. It was quick. A great cost. And delicious!

This is a really cool looking ramen place. The interior is very clean and modern, lots of concrete and and indoor mini garden with plants and little trees. It almost has a brutalist touch to it. As usual you need to order beforehand at the ticket machine. There is an option for changing the language to english and only cash is accepted. I got Tsukemen. The broth was really hot, thick and rich. When dipping your ramen into the broth it clings to it so nicely. The charshu was also really flavorful and meaty. Personally for me the whole dish couldn‘t get any better!! I paid 1000 yen and the portion size was appropriate. There is also an option for a bigger size tho. It was so good that i visited this spot again the day after for lunch. It was a little bit more crowded but the serving was still really fast. I can totally recommend this ramen spot if you are looking for an utterly tasty ramen! Please check it out yourself and enjoy :)

The name of the restaurant kinda clues you in that this is not an easy restaurant to find. People passing by would be surprised to know that the restaurant’s nondescript staircase leads to a fully set up ramen restaurant - you need to know this restaurant exists before you can find it. When visiting, you will walk down a short flight of stairs, walk through a simple wooden, before seeing a stone path that leads you to a machine where you order your preferred ramen. There are only 3 ramen choices, and you personalise it by choosing the soup’s thickness level, and extra ingredients. The food itself was good. The restaurant’s atmosphere was clean and peaceful. There’s limited seating so customers’ would eat and vacate the seats relatively quickly to accommodate the people in the waiting area. We came at an off peak time so we didn’t feel rushed to vacate.
