Osaka, Japan｜Mennoya

Tasted amazing. We felt very welcome, even with our baby in a car seat/stroller. We were the last customers of the evening and received full service with a smile and some nice conversation with the Itamae (head chef). Just use Google translate on the food ticket machine and be adventurous.

Incredible ramen in a small shop with a friendly atmosphere. We ordered the shoyu ramen (one with yuzu, one without) and tamago. The service was prompt and the owner was very charming, helping us to read the buttons on the ticket machine. Despite our limited Japanese, the service was wonderful and enough reason to come back. The ramen was so light and fresh, we left feeling energized. The noodles were delightfully chewy, and the char siu was so tender it melted in our mouths. Our only regret is that we won't be in Osaka long enough to keep coming! This place will surely be on our list whenever we're in town. To the owner and staff, thank you so much for your hospitality ~

If you're in Osaka and want a small local restaurant, you have to come here!!! There is a menu in English, but the waiters speak enough English. Ask them for a recommendation - we did and I almost cried at how good the ramen was.
