Kyushu Jangara Akihabara

Dare I say the best ramen in Tokyo! This well-known chain restaurant doesn’t compromise on quality despite its high popularity. There’s always a queue especially during peak mealtimes, but the queue moves fast thanks to their organisation and efficiency. The space inside is a little cramped so people don’t tend to loiter. I love the tonkotsu soup with fried garlic oil. It’s incredibly flavourful without being heavy. Get fried garlic on the side for the additional crunch.

Lucked out and got seated in under 5 minutes! The broth was super rich and full of flavor, honestly wished I had enough room in my stomach for a second bowl. Everything was delicious, though I’d give it a full 5 stars if the pork chashu was just a bit more tender. Still definitely worth a visit!

Super small space. Probably about 14 seats inside. They use every square inch inside. Of course, there will be a line outside. While you are waiting, they take your order to keep things moving along. (They do have English menus available.) Food comes very quickly after you are seated. Everything is very flavorful and service is awesome. There are plenty of ramen places around but this is definitely one of the better ones. Check it out if you are in the area!

Ramen was very tasty, well worth the wait under the rain, very cosy restaurant with limited seating, staff were very nice and accomodating. They have vegan ramen options too and all ramen types can be customised. Can add extra serve of noodles (kaedama) for ¥150. Also 5⭐️ to cameraman who took a nice photo of us eating ramen.

Their vegan ramen was the best vegetarian dish I had in Tokyo!! We actually went here twice - our first night in Tokyo and the last night - because it was that good. My partner also loved the garlic pork ramen (kobonshan), says it’s his favourite dish in Tokyo too!! It’s a little “hole in the wall” type of ramen restaurant, so could be a bit of a line for entry, but they have super fast service and friendly staff. Definitely would recommend any vegan or vegetarian to check it out!!
