YUURIMBOUAKIHABARA

You can choose from 5 levels of spiciness and numbness. For those who like spicy food, level 4 may be just right. The restaurant is surprisingly small. Might be tough for big guys. Japanese dry food is not bad, with good flavor.

カウンター席10席程度の狭いレストランですが、昼夜問わず列が出来る程の人気を誇ります。山手線などの頻繁に電車が行き交う高架橋下にある店でありながら、食べている最中はそこまでの騒音を感じることはありませんでした。 メインディッシュは、担担麺や麻婆豆腐等のいわゆる辛い料理。最も辛くない、香辛料の量を抑えていても、食後も汗が噴き出て痺れるような感覚が残るような辛さでした。そのため、辛いものが苦手な方はお勧めできません。勿論、辛さという刺激に誤魔化すことなくいずれの料理も美味しく、特に麺やトッピングの野菜の歯ごたえは抜群でした。リピーターが多いのも頷けます。 It is a small restau...rant with only about 10 counter seats, but it is so popular that people line up day and night. Although the restaurant is located under an elevated bridge where frequent trains such as the Yamanote Line come and go, I did not feel that much noise while I was eating. The main dishes were the so-called spicy dishes such as Tantanmen and Mapo tofu. Even the least spicy, with the least amount of spices, was spicy enough to leave me sweating and feeling numb even after eating. Therefore, if you don't like spicy food, this is not the place for you. Of course, the spiciness did not deceive us, and all the dishes were delicious, especially the noodles and the crunchy topping vegetables. No wonder they have so many repeat customers.

Our last ramen in Japan, we weren't disappointed. We wandered past this place as we were on our way to the park, saw the queue and decided to go in. We weren't sure what to order, just picked what looked good in the pictures on the vending machine. Flavourful, spiced broth with pork mince (I could h...ave gone a bit hotter than 3 on the scale). Delicious.

Came by this place. It is a small place with a bar/counter. It was packed with locals and had a short line before the entrance. Inside there is one of the menu's machines in the front of the store with pictures & Japanese writing. You pay and chose a meal upfront at this machine and give the ticket... to the personal behind the counter. I had a szechuan tofu dish, which was spicy and delicious. My company had a dish with noodles and rice, which was also good. If you want a properly prepared, spicy dish, which is a little bit of an adventure (no English menu and only Japanese speaking people in the restaurant, than this is the place for you. Last thing, dishes are very reasonable prices as well. We had the two dishes and cup of extra rice for less then 2000 yen.

We were trying to look for something that didn't look like a tourist trap in the area of Akihabara when we came accross this tiny place. Under the train line is a tiny restaurant with 10 stools around the kitchen serving no more than 10 dishes. It was full when we got there with locals and had to wa...it for 5-10minutes. It was worth the wait! The waiters were very nice but didn't speak any English at all (obviously no English menu either) but we based out choices on the little photos next to the payment machine. The tofu dish and the noodles with beef were teally good but quite spicy! They both came with white rice and a soup. We paid less than 2,000 yens and could hardly finish our plates! From the business card we got it seems like they have another two locations. Totally recommendable!!
