Eating at a Michelin restaurant doesn’t have to mean spending hundreds of dollars, and this place is proof of that. I first visited Nakiryu during my first-ever trip to Japan and came back again on my second visit. The ramen is fantastic, and to me, it will always be worth the wait. Definitely recommended!

Service: 0.5/10
The tall, long haired male server had a shockingly poor attitude, which I did not expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. He frequently stared at customers, and I had no idea what he was looking at. Moreover, his way of speaking lacked any polite language. Someone like him doesn't seem suited for the service industry.

Taste: 4/10
The dish was just an ordinary bowl of ramen. The service was slow, and I was puzzled to find that the oil in my soup had already begun to solidify by the time it was served.

Showed up right when they opened. They have a digital display that you can use to make reservations, and was able to reserve a spot for 1PM(there were many more for later in the day), and the machine printed out a ticket.
The ramen was so thick and rich that it almost wasn’t a liquid or broth to me anymore. Very spoiled.

Nakiryu Ramen definitely lived up to the hype! This 1 Michelin star ramen spot offered the best ramen I've ever had to date. I opted for the tonkatsu, and it was phenomenal. The broth was creamy with deep umami flavors and had a nice kick to it. The pork was incredibly tender, simple yet elegant in flavor.

For those planning to visit, I recommend arriving at the restaurant around 7:30-8:00 am to guarantee seating. You choose the time you want to eat at, with 11 am being the earliest slot. The ticket counter provides a ticket for your chosen time, and you return at that time to order your ramen at the machine.

Additionally, the gyoza was outstanding! Overall, Nakiryu provided an exceptional dining experience that I highly recommend.

Michelin failed me, again! This shoyu ramen (Michelin ever gave it one star, not sure is it dropped to Bib) gave me 1 out of 5 satisfaction. Now I dont rate food as nice or not cos everyone got own taste bud n like n dislike, I do my own rating as in does the food satisfy my taste bud n soul. Look at the picture, left half bowl of noodle, it was the soft texture type,  noodle must be firm n good to me. Its either overcooked or didnt cook well, or thats the nature of its noodle. Not my cup of tea. The shoyu soup, I finished it, not say very good, but normal and clear and warm stomach. No Q for me, went at 8am and got a ticket for 1130am lunch. Go back again? Nope!!!

I do not know if they place is reservations only but my sisters and I came here twice. One time, we arrived at 9:50am to get reservation but there were only couple slots left and didn't fit into our schedule so we left. We came back another day before 8am and was able to get the 11am time slot. Reservation time opens up at 8am. There is a tablet outside the restaurant. Once you make reservation, you will receive a ticket. You will need this ticket to get inside. My sisters and I walked around and then came back during our reservation time. Once we got inside, we placed our order on the kiosk at the front. The menu is limited. They are known for their Tantanmen so my sisters and I had to order that. Once we placed our order, we were then seated. This is a very small restaurant. Can only seat 12 people. There were counter seats and table seats. We were seated on the table. Food came out within few minutes. The food was good but I do not get the hype of the Tantanmen. Portion was definitely small for us. We are used to the portion size we get in the States. Cash Only!

Nakiryu (crying dragon) is known for their Michelin star, affordable tantanmen. I wasn't expecting to try this place but we happened to have the time to stop by on our way to Sunshine City. We arrived around noon because of the heavy rain in the morning and were able to get a reservation for 4 at 2:30 pm on their kiosk. This meant we didn't have to wait in line, which was great. When we returned, the host had us line up across the street and called us in when the tables were ready. My fiancé and I had to be seated separately and we ended up waiting about 20 minutes longer. Upon entering, you place your order on the touchscreen vending machine. We ordered the spicy wonton, gyoza, tantanmen, and shoyu ramen with extra noodles and chashu pork. My expectations were a bit high, with this being my first Michelin star restaurant, and although the dishes were good, I didn't feel like I was wowed by the tantanmen. Perhaps it was because I had the spicy wonton first and it overwhelmed my palate but by the time I got to the tantanmen I wasn't feeling it. Notably, I have a lower tolerance for spice even though I enjoy a good kick sometimes. The tantanmen itself was good but not memorable for me. The portions were a good amount, however. Overall, the meal was satisfactory, especially for the price but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back anytime soon. **CASH ONLY!!!***

Nakiryu is Tokyo's second ramen restaurant to be granted one Michelin star! I couldn't believe how affordable it was. I felt so lucky to be able to eat food with such prestige. I was here for lunch on a weekday, and there was a line across the street. I thought I would have to wait two hours, but it wasn't that bad in the end. We arrived 11:40 AM and finished ordering by 12:30 PM. What was bad was the sun beating down on us. The waiter dude was so thoughtful and gave us an umbrella! When we got to the front of the line, there were two chairs to sit down. Once through the doors, there was a vending machine to the left to place orders. I think I had to insert cash first, then press the button for what I wanted. We tried the tantanmen and the shio ramen. We spent a total of ¥4150 here. Ramen was great. We sat at the bar, so we could watch the ramen being prepared. I loved the teamwork between the two gentlemen. One would sprinkle toppings and the other noodles, etc. Another cool thing was the drawer under the bar. It had napkins and chopsticks!

Absolutely the best ramen you will ever eat in your life. Be sure to show up at least 1 or 2 hours before opening. The queue builds up quick and the restaurant itself can only sit like 10 to 12 people at a time. This place is cash only and you pay at the ticket machine. The menu is small. I ordered the tan tan ramen with an extra egg and chasu pork on the side plus some wontons in chili sauce. The food is prepared right in front of you and it's done with every attention to detail and presentation. The broth of the ramen is amazingly rich in flavor while not being too heavy and over bearing. It's a simple dish at the end of the day but executed perfectly with the ingredients used. This is probably one of the most affordable Michelin Star restaurants as well and it just shows you don't need to pay extravagantly for a high quality dining experience.

Waited two and a half hours in the middle of the day for this Michelin-starred tan tan men/Chinese-inspired ramen and that was apparently not even considered a busy day for them. Luckily the place is located in a quiet alley in Kita-Otsuka and everyone lines up next to a railing that you can sit on, plus they have umbrellas you can borrow if it's hot or raining (it was both during my most recent stay). The ramen is fantastic. If you opt for the popular tan tan men, it's hot, intensely flavored and addictive. Sit at the counter and watch the guys construct each bowl like it's an art. And without toppings, it'll only cost about 1000 yen. A word of caution: it is CASH ONLY. So if you're like the nice guy who was behind us in line and don't have someone who offers to pay for you, guess what, you just waited in line for two and a half hours for nothing. For the record, this nice guy PayPaled me almost immediately afterwards, three times the amount because he was so happy we helped salvage his lunch.

One of the best ramen places I've had in Japan. A bowl coming out to close to $8 USD to boot. It's a small shop seating 10 with 6 at the bar located just south of Otsuke JR station. We had our luggage with us and there wasn't an issue storing it to the side. Everything was cooked to perfection and less rich than many places we had been to. In addition, the Tsukemen was one of the best we had during the trip. Be there early! We showed up an hour before opening and we ended up in the second group of ten to be seated (20ish minute wait after opening)

Full disclaimer this might be a review that can be deemed a "unfair" to Japanese restaurant culture as a whole, and not necessarily just this Michelin starred ramen shop. It was a rainy Sunday morning with approximately 40 people in line waiting outside. A chef came out to get numbers and mentioned to us it was going to 4-hour wait. It was dumb of us to wait, especially since I was a bit underdressed for the cold wet weather. After the legit wait and even some people dropping out, we finally ordered from the machine and provided our tickets. The tantanmen, shoyu ramen, wontons, and cha siu sides were all pretty good. The noodles were definitely different than the regular wavy ones - they were thinner, but still fresh and not much of a chew. They do things differently as the tantanmein do not include your typical protein toppings, so be sure to order them separately. So my discomfort was honestly the wait. It is understood that you'd expect a Michelin starred restaurant would have people drying off stemware cuz it's "fancy" - but if feels like they do not really care about moving people along. There are oftentimes empty chairs in the 12 seat restaurant - divided by 3 tables and a 6 seat bar. They do not ask people in line who is interested in sitting at the bar, nor if sharing a table (which we really would not mind). It is Strictly, by your place in the queue. A separate disclaimer - a review of their Seven Eleven ramen. Yes, it is pretty close to the original tantanmen from their shop. The soup is definitely worth slurping every drop, and the noodles pretty similar. Not much in terms of protein, nor the amount of crushed peanuts, but you'll get the spring onions. Save yourself the wait and head over to 7eleven for their instant variety.

Came on a Monday at 12:50, and we had to wait an hour and 45 min before we were seated. There are only 12 seats inside. Let me just preface this by saying it was well worth the wait in the cold. We ordered the tantanmen with pork, egg, and very hot sauce for the topping, and a side of shrimp and pork wonton in garlic sauce. The food came out almost instantly. The wonton skin was silky smooth, and the meat inside was cooked perfectly. The ramen was different than any of the ramen I've ever had. The noodle itself was thin and cooked "al-dente." I've never had ramen where the noodle had this type of texture. The hot sauce added more depth to my broth. As I took my first few bites, I kept wanting more and more. The egg was soft boiled; I bit down into it and it oozed with a golden yolk. The thinly slices of pork were so soft, juicy, and tenderly cooked by the ramen broth. Everything about my bowl was cooked to perfection. My hunger and taste buds were satiated.

Is the food good? Yes, the flavors were good but you need to add the extra spice, without that it just isn't spicy enough for me. The nori is also a great touch to add for some added color and texture. The charsiu is kinda similar to a ham consistency as it is very thin and cold. The service was very quick once you get inside. But we did have to wait a little over two hours to get inside getting there 30 min before opening. Inside there are two tables and about 8 counter seats. Luckily the food comes pretty quickly so you can expect people to get in and out. Overall, I wouldn't say I would wait 2 hours again but maybe for a 30 minute wait.

First, a big thank you to Pamela L. for recommending this place! I knew she wasn't exactly the biggest ramen fan, so it piqued my interest when she said this was one of the highlights of her Tokyo trip. Nakiryu earned its Michelin star in 2017 and has retained it every year since. They are known for their tantanmen, which is a Japanese rendition of dan dan noodles from Sichuan. There's no reservation system or online queue here; you have to line up early. I came a little before 9:30 AM and was the 12th person in line. The doors promptly opened at 11:00 AM, and I was part of the lucky group that got to eat first because there were only twelve seats inside. When you enter, place your order on the touchscreen ticket machine. Select your preferred language (English, Japanese, Chinese), your preferred bowl (the menu has other options like tsukemen, salt ramen, etc.), and any additional toppings/side dishes you want to add. Their signature tantanmen was 1000 yen, or about $6.93 USD! It has a broth made with chili oil, sesame paste, chicken, oysters, kelp, and beef bones. Everything went together harmoniously! Very complex flavors and textures, with a great amount of spiciness and nuttiness. The thin noodles were firm but still springy. I liked the minced pork and scallions on top. How does it compare to the other Michelin ramen restaurants? It's better than Soba House Konjiki-Hototogisu in my opinion. And while I enjoyed the noodles at Chukasoba Ginza Hachigo a tad more, Nakiryu has the best broth hands down! Closed Tuesdays. I recommend checking their Twitter account @NAKIRYU for updates and unexpected closures.
