Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Hayashida Ikebukuro Shop

Came when the queue at ichiran was too long, pleasant find, food was delicious and dipping ramen's portion was huge. Pork had a smoky flavour to it and was just average, but chicken meat is tender and soft. The dipping soup was extremely flavourful. Overall a satisfying meal.

Close to Ikebukuro station, this little Ramen is fantastic. Best Shoyu Ramen I've tasted. The broth is delicious, the flavor is really unique. The noodles are very good ! The service is fast.

Best shoyu ramen chain in West Tokyo and the best option altogether in Ikebukuro. If you're looking for a simple, great ramen shop with a short to no wait, this is it. Recommend the special shoyu ramen, which is #1 on the menu. The Shinjuku branch is also a great option if you're there, especially at times when other shops in the area are busy.
