Favy Japan

"The burning oil poured over the dish brings out the flavour and aroma of green onion. Ahah! If you're staying in Kyoto, chuck this in the itinerary."

"The chef put bowls of shoyu pork ramen in front of us and then poured a pot of flaming green-onion-oil into the bowls and set our noodles ON FIRE. The blackened ramen was smoky tasting and so, so good that it was like being slapped in the face by flavour. EPIC!"

"Post ramen: free fried rice! Very enjoyable with our fried chicken. If you plan a trip to Kyoto, this is one that you simply cannot miss!"

"The spring onions was burnt quite well. It was so tasty when eaten together with the thin ramen noodle. Their broth was also very delicious! Great ramen!"

Wee Heng See

"The ramen broth was already very flavourful. The flaming oil brought out the additional ‘wok-hei’ taste. But of course, this is a place for the experience more than anything else."

Adam H. Graham

"The combustion isn’t just for show, it slightly chars the chashu and green onions, giving it a very subtle smoky taste. It was easily the best ramen I’ve had on my four visits to Japan."

Le Captain Foodie

"The first sip of broth will surprise you with the super smoky flavour. It is not that often that you can taste a Ramen broth like this one! The thin noodles are pretty good and complement well the Ramen. The Chashu is also delicious and his flavour really benefits from the burning oil."

"Their “Fire Ramen” is a green onion noodle soup that chefs set on fire after adding hot oil to the dish. The broth is soy-based and thinner than at most other ramen restaurants, which is perfect for a light (and eventful) meal."

"In Menbakaichidai traditional Japanese ramen is served with one big twist: fire! The process releases a unique flavor into the dish unlike any ramen you have ever had."

"If you want to have a surprising experience and enjoy eating Japanese Ramen, Menbakaichidai is highly recommended."
