Very small and cosy restaurant serving soupless noodles. Easy self ordering machine with great options for customization. Handy instructions on how to eat the noodles/rice and when to add what sauces and spices.

Very traditional and yummy. Noodles with vinegar taste even better! One tips for you who are new here, you need to put the cash in the machine first then you’ll be able to press the button.

Our first experience of dan dan noodles in Japan. Ordering was via ticket machine with order being fulfilled quickly once handing the ticket to the chef. The dan dan noodles were delicious but the problem was it was all too fleeting. Perfect place as an "entree" kick off an evening of progressive eating though!

The noodles were good and reasonably priced. The service was a bit less friendly than the japanese average but it was efficient ! Overall we enjoyed our meal. Get the large portion if you’re hungry as the base amount is fairly small even to us Europeans. We didn’t mind as this meant we were also able to sample some Hiroshima okonomiyaki later in the evening.

A very nice and cozy restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helped us a lot. It is a bit difficult to decipher the ordering machine, but very worth it. You get served very fast and they show you how to eat it properly. The spice level normal or below is hot enough...
