What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedSelected for Tabelog Ramen EAST Top 100 2025. A small gem with only 9 seats, located 4 minutes from Dokkyo University Station. The Chinese noodles featuring hand-pulled noodles and back fat made by the owner who trained at Tanaka Sobaten have earned overwhelming support from local university students and working adults. Always a queue despite continuous operation from lunch through dinner. Parking for 3 cars.
Reviews say: 'Have been coming to Dokkyo University Station for over 10 years,' 'The balance between the sweetness of back fat and the saltiness of soy is exquisite,' 'The thick chashu in niku soba is insane value,' 'Rare top-100 shop you can eat at late into the night,' 'Never get tired of it even coming every week.'
