Who it's for
This is for adventurous eaters looking for a unique ramen experience and those who appreciate a lively, authentic Japanese atmosphere. It's not ideal for groups or families with young children due to limited seating.
Know before you go
The restaurant is located up tiny stairs in an alley within Kabukichō, which is known as a red-light district, so be aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
While they accept credit cards, it's good to have cash as a backup, though some reviewers found card payment convenient.
The area around the restaurant, Kabukichō, has touts who may try to lure you into bars with exorbitant prices; politely decline with "Daijōbu desu."
