Recommended bowl: Gyoza & ramen

Open over 47 years and still family run, with almost all of the staff and chefs homegrown. Tucked away in a quiet residential area devoid of ramen shops, Minmin is more of a Chinese restaurant than a ramen shop. In fact, the main draw is not ramen, but the yaki gyoza, and fried rice that most of the customers order. Indeed, the gyoza are the way to go, but feel free to dip into the ramen or any of the other numerous dishes available. Unrelated to any of the handful of other shops in Tokyo named Minmin. Old-school style and authentic.
