Recommended bowl: Old school Chūka

This family run neighborhood spot has been open for 50+ years, serving classic Chinese style stir-fried dishes and ramen. The go-to is probably the han cha-han + ramen set, which includes a bowl of nostalgic Tokyo style shoyu ramen and a side of fried rice. The soup is simple blue-collar fare, made with a light chicken soup and thin-straight noodles that have a nice bite. The house-made pan-fried gyoza are also recommended, although be warned they take extra time to prepare and cook.
