Hikone, Shiga, Japan｜Chanpontei Hikone Station Branch

Incredibly quick service. They have a ticket machine which has English translations. The free condiments include pickled ginger, a spicy sauce like doubanjiang, clear vinegar, soy sauce and togarashi. The noodle soups have incredible flavour and come out steaming hot. A perfect dinner after a long day of cycling! The chicken karaage pieces are large and perfectly crunchy. The gyoza skin is thin and the filling is meaty. We were very hungry so got 2 ramens, 5 chicken karaage and 5 gyoza for around 3300 yen.

This is a ramen noodle restaurant of long history. which is a favorite of local people. We went to lunch time, didn't have a seat, so waited for a while. There are a lot of vegetables in the bowl, very delicious.

Amazing!!!!! Very sweet staff. English menu, if you need it. Delicious noodles and the fried chicken!!! OMG, the fried Chicken!!!!!!! So amazing!
