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

Mike Williams

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)!

Yameng

[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 👌

Paul Mederos

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.)

Alex

absolutely amazing and delicious spicy miso ramen ! get level 4 spicy ABD numbing levels (mashi mashi). deluxe ramen is ¥1000. sooooo filling and satisfying.

Chris Bueno

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!

Kendall

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 .

Joe Hughes

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.

Juan Arreguin

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! 👌🏻💯

Heiner Twenhäfel

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

Mireya Benedetti

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.

Lucky Peach

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

Dens

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)

Trish F

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

Elizabeth Burstein

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

Cooper Smith

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.

Dave Meeson

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.

Talisa Chang

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

Daniel Choe

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.

Rasmus Andgren

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 )

Tanya

I tried the deluxe ramen and Wow best ramen ever!! super spicy delicious super savory broth!!!

Hianmin Tan

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

K2

One of my favorite. This time I had no spicy w regular Sichuan pepper w coriander . 👍👍👍

Eline Van den Eeckhaut

Delicious ramen , come hungry! Pay at the ticket machine first, then get in line .

Genki U.

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

Harrison Johnson

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.

Albert Kung

Get the Big Meat! You will not regret it.

Vincent Tan

Kikanbo serves sichuan-inspired ramen . Set to max 5 ma and la for best results http://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1310/A131002/13097205/

Måns Örn Ranung

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.

Francis Santos

Tried premium ramen 1180jpy.it sparked joy! The ambience will take you to hell in a good way.

Tapani Lehtonen

Friendly staff and great ramen . You won't leave hungry :) And the hot is what it says.

Aditi

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.

Nathan

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

Jennean E

Delicious ramen , excellent flavor. Seasoned egg is perfectly cooked. Ordered with cilantro , baby corn and beer at ticket machine.

Jonathan M

Premium Ramen - I got medium/medium and wished I high/high

Bjarke Kongstad

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

Mari

Really good spicy ramen . Fun decor and ambiance.

Joe Hughes

Deluxe ramen with extra noodles

Vincent Tan

Corner shop serves tsukemen. Ramen is next door

Vansi

The extra cilantro makes it taste way more amazing.

Mike Hughes

The 1000yen set menu is amazing.

Michael Muse

Ivan from Ivan Ramen recommends the Miso

Diana Robinson

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.

Ramon Garcia

Basic Ramen was just GREAT!

NE

Try the Koriander tsuke men

Claudia Hernández

Try de spicy miso ramen .

Fabio Resende

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

Matilda Fors

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

Alejandro Fernández Rueda

The best f-ing ramen I have ever had, simply delicious

Domenic Denicola

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