Ushiku, Ibaraki, Japan｜ラーメン 5W

Excellent place to eat ramen. The name has changed but the ramen is still very very good. The service is fast and the owner is friendly. The Charshu is very well prepared and delicious. I come here around once or twice a month. Highly recommend this place. If you eat here you’ll get a ticket for a free side item for your next visit.

I had the miso ramen and it checked all the boxes. The noodles were chewy and flavourful. The thick and unctuous miso broth was balanced with the mountain of vegetables. My friend had the tonkotsu ramen and that broth was umami! Super value and super yum yum yummy!

I came here on a recommendation from a friend and thought the Tonkotsu ramen was excellent. The noodles are perfect and the base is a good balance of soy and pork flavor. The pork charshu was very very very good. There are condiments on the table if you want to add garlic or chili sauce or pepper, etc. Fast service but you have to buy the ticket from the machine first. Photos on the wall helped with selection. Self-serve water. Seems busy around lunch time.
