Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Jirō Ikebukuro East

Wonderful ramen to eat! The size was normal that was not normal to the regular bowl of ramen elsewhere! I had trouble moving the bowl with both hands from counter top to my table top! Could hardly see the ramen with all the pork and bean sprouts on top. Soup was tasty not salty or greasy. Ramen was the thicker one and chewy just to me and my wife’s liking. Marinated pork and Char Siu were tender and tasteful. We couldn’t get in first night at 10:00pm, they were sold out. Went back next evening and was lucky not needing to wait long. Definitely amount the best ramen shops in Ikebukuro.

This place is a must if you are a ramen fan. The noodles are thick and handmade, and the broth is excellent. Also the portions are big, I could hardly finish the regular size. Menu is just ramen, no sides, no fancy options. Last, way too cheap for the size and quality.

Staff was kind even though I couldn't speak Japanese. Ordered the smallest size, with hard noodles and more bean sprouts. The serving was enormous! Stuffed my face silly and had to roll out after. Go during off peak hours to avoid the long queues.
