    So good and different from any other bowl. Order from machine, then they'll ask about spice. Medium for both spicy (chili) & numbness(Sichuan) is good if you like spicy but aren't a masochist about it

    [WARNING]: medium spice with demon level numb, it WILL numb your brain. I was ready for a dental treatment. But damn, this WAS the ramen to end all Ramens. Get the big pork👌

    Easily the most enjoyable ramen I've ever had (between NYC and Tokyo)! An emphatic 10/10!! I would wait on the line if it were 4x as long as in this photo (taken after leaving in a food coma)!

    Super tasty ramen, great vibes, fast service. Probably the best ramen I've ever had. I went with medium/medium (spicy/numbness.) Get the seasoned egg (or you'll regret it.)

    Their ramen is probably one of the best things I ever had in my life. Thick chunky broth, with an unimaginable depth of flavor. I still dream about that bowl!

    Okay you have to try Deluxe medium/medium (Fu Tsu) w/ Coriander. You will not regret it!!! And if you come back get it spicier! 👌🏻💯

    Hands down the best ramen we had in Japan. Pro tip: sit towards the front of the restaurant. There's no AC and the back gets quite steamy. We went for medium spicy + medium numbing.

    Delicious rich broth spiced to your liking; the pork is fantastic and you should get extra pieces. Ordering is via ticket-machine but they have an English translation card you can use.

    I went for high chilli and medium sichuan and that was a good level of spiciness. Bonus: They give you a bib.

    Hottest level ramen w/ big pork was amazing. Chunk of pork was a meal in itself. Go VERY hungry!! Staff was so great - forgot our change in vendi and they brought it to us. English menu available.

    This was rec'd to me as Best Ramen in Tokyo & it didn't disappoint. You order with 2 variables -- spicyness (I went 2 of 4) and numbing (I went 3 of 4). Numbing is amazing (& I'd rec'd going 4 of 4)

    Miso ramen has both Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, and you can customize the amount in each bowl. They even have an oni (devil) spice level that’s the ultimate challenge for thrill-seekers. Read more

    Tasty ramen! If you like Sichuan food, regular is not that spicy. Went at 4.15pm on Wed and seated immediately. Nice staff.

    Incredible spicy ramen. You order on a vending machine. Was a small line. Got the regular ramen with one and none spice. Would go back to get premium no spice

    The atmosphere with the oni theme and the battle music makes this an amazing memory plus that the ramen was the best I ever had. You can get it from none spicy to oni level( super spicy)

    Five levels of spicy between two categories: Sichuan and Black Pepper. "Ogre Level", a five on both, is not recommended unless food challenges are your thing. Sets the bar high for ramyun.

    One of the best ramens I had. I went medium / medium and wished I had been a bit more adventurous, especially in the numbing department.

    Don’t go lower than “medium” on the “hot” spicy scale or you defeat the purpose of getting spicy ramen. Great flavor without blowing your palate. Good tamago and the pork is fall-apart tender.

    Love the big chunk of pork. If you are familiar with the Sichuan ma la, you could probably go for the fourth level.

    Try the Szechuan numbing peppers! Warning very spicy above level 2. Delicious though. Look up ahead of time how to order from the ticket machine.

    Bowl comes with pork, sprouts, and a piece of baby corn. Treatyoself to a seasoned egg and extra pork, which is glorious.

    Brilliant. Reminds of Szechwan hand-carved noodles, but nicely refined in a Japanese way. Get the cilantro topping for sure!

    I ate the premium ramen medium spicy. Delicious. The place is itself not that cozy. My girlfriend thinks it’s a typical “geek guy” place, I have to agree.

    Medium level spicyness was enough for me. Any more and you wouldn't be able to taste the rest of the dish.

    Okay I can handle spice but the devil level is TOO hot. Do not order. But the ramen and broth were incredible. I'll be back.

    Solid bowl of spicy ramen, to be sure, but not so sure if it lived up to its high praise.

    I ordered pretty blindly as no one spoke English, but the 1,000 yen option on the machine has an egg added to it and it was awesome! I got level 2, but I would pick level 3 next time.

    Super thick, rich miso based broth. You can choose either ramen or tsukemen (dipping noodles) on the restaurant next door by the same people.

    Ramen broth is good but the meat was too fatty and you need to be prepared to stand in line for 1h. Ridiculous music and nerdy decor. A total “guy” place

    Unless you are familiar with and welcoming of the phenomenon where your lips feel sunburnt due to spiciness, stick with the default spiciness level.
