Yakumo

The ramen was absolutely delicious, and it truly lacked nothing. It was rich, hearty and full of depth, with perfectly balanced flavors. The wonton was a total highlight — soft, delicate and a perfect addition to the bowl. I would definitely go back, but I have to say this place has a certain aura of exclusivity. The small number of seats, the long lines, and that shared moment of anticipation all add something special to the experience. Normally I’m not a fan of waiting in queues, but this time it felt meaningful. Sitting together at a communal table was also surprisingly enjoyable and gave the whole visit a unique vibe. On top of that, the staff were incredibly warm and kind. I’ll remember this place for a long time.

Out of dozens of ramen places across Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, this is in my top 3 places to visit as Feb 2026. I could not recommend this place enough, with perfectly balanced Ramen, with a delicious and light flavour. I've tried both the Dark and Light, both are amazing! I would strongly recommend getting with the dumplings too as this is extremely flavourful. The seating is limited and all around a central square counter table.

Love the wontons! But for me, the noodle and the meat are ordinary. (White broth, half. 2 pcs meat, 2 PORK wonton, 2 shrimp wonton cost ¥1.220) Services are great, friendly staff, english speaking. They only have 12 seats. So there will be queue but not too long. Order by machine and CASH ONLY.

The ramen with shrimps and pork was impressive, and so the service and atmosphere. The cue on a Sunday of December was only 15min at 12:30

Yakumo is an award winning ramen shop that serves Chinese style ramen. One hint of Chinese style is with the red glaze on the chasu, which is something you don't normally see in Japanese ramen. They are known for the shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. You can choose between white shoyu or the black shoyu. White tasted a bit better in my opinion. You MUST order the wonton since it is one of their trademark toppings, served along side the red glazed chasu.

The best wantons I have ever had. Silky smooth it's so unbelievable. The broth was very very clean and light, but it wasn't the most tasty broth for my personally. I opted for wide noodles which were nice and chewy. Overall a fantastic ramen.

The wontons are packed with meat and shrimp while wrapped in a thin silky layer of wonton skin, exactly how it should be done. The broth tasted heavenly on a cold windy day. I think this is the first time the Char-siu get overshadowed by the other ingredient in in the bowl. I find this combination of ramen to be pretty unique on its own and it's definitely worth the detour if you want to get away from thick boney/creamy ramen.

Wonton was nice. Queued up for 20 min to enter, paid 1,100 JPY for a bowl of wonton noodle, tried both white and black soup. Ok overall but wouldn’t queue up again.

Ramen was average, wanton just ok. A warning to English speaking visitors- they do not have an english menu, and they close at 3:30pm... the manager was rude bordering on hostile in terminating our lunch. Apparently locals only.
