Hyperlocal Tokyo

This area has a lot of hills, which I'm not a fan of! It was my first time visiting, and I should have noted that they only open for lunch at 12:00 PM. Since they seem to specialize in wonton noodles, I went with the three-wonton noodle set and a mini curry. The ramen itself was pretty standard, nothing particularly special. However, the wontons were excellent, as expected. They had a great meaty flavor and texture, and the wrappers were smooth and delicious. I think this place would be perfect if they offered wonton soup and curry rice as separate dishes.

【2406 Visits】 Wonton Ramen with 3 Wontons, Large Noodles, and Fried Onions This restaurant is located on the right side of an alleyway behind the Cerulean Tower, about a 2-minute walk. It's said that the owner is a former employee of Kazuya. I visited on a weekday at 1:30 pm, during a steady rain, and there was no wait. Although there were 3 empty seats inside, I had to wait a few minutes for a table due to the bustling atmosphere. Since it's part of the Tantan-tei lineage, I ordered the Wonton Ramen. The ramen arrived in about 5 minutes. The toppings included 3 small pieces of chashu pork, 3 wontons, menma (bamboo shoots), komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach), and green onions. The first sip of the soup revealed a distinct aroma of dashi (fish stock), followed by a rich and savory flavor from the animal-based broth. It's a gentle and wholesome soup, with a hint of onion adding a nice touch. The noodles are slightly curly, medium-thin, straight noodles with a smooth and chewy texture. They were cooked to a softer consistency. The chashu pork has a slightly sweet flavor, typical of the Tantan-tei style. The wontons are thin and delicate, with a subtle ginger aroma and a burst of savory meat flavor. Adding the complimentary fried onions to the soup infused it with a toasty aroma, enhancing the flavor and boosting the overall experience. It was a delicious meal! This is a soy sauce ramen with wontons. The traditional chashu pork and wontons are delicious. The soup is made from pork and chicken bones, dried fish, and aromatic vegetables, and has a gentle, healthy taste.

I visited for the first time at 1:30 PM. The restaurant was full. I bought a ticket from the vending machine, but the marinated egg was sold out. After waiting for a while, I was seated. I ordered the Chashu Ramen (with extra noodles) and requested the free fried onions on the side. When the ramen arrived, I took a sip of the broth. It was a gentle, flavorful soup. The noodles had a nice firmness while still being soft, and they were delicious. The chewy chashu was also very tasty, getting better with each bite. The fried onions were delicious too. I devoured the extra noodles and finished the entire bowl of soup. It was a delicious meal! Thank you!

I visited around 1 pm on a weekday and was able to get in without waiting. There were only counter seats, and I think the turnover is fast. I ordered the shoyu wonton ramen, which was light and delicious. I especially liked the wontons, which had a nice ginger flavor.

I had the Chashu Wonton Ramen! The broth was light but flavorful. All the toppings were delicious, and I was glad I added both the chashu and wonton. The noodles were thin and curly, which I also enjoyed. You can get free burnt scallions if you ask the staff. They add depth to the flavor, so I recommend them. The hidden-away atmosphere was also kind of nice and made me feel a little strange in a good way. Note that they only accept cash.
