Visited before 8 p.m. on a holiday. There were more than 10 people waiting in line outside the store. Surprisingly, the wait to get in was not as long as expected, probably not more than 30 minutes. It was unexpected to see such a long line close to closing time, indicating the high popularity of the restaurant. - Chinese noodles 750 yen - Fried dumplings 550 yen - Fried rice 850 yen Having memories of how delicious it was in the past, this was my second visit in life. I had a slight anxiety about how I would feel now compared to back then, but that anxiety was quickly erased with the first bite of the Chinese noodles. The light soy sauce soup with a strong fragrance of fried green onions brought out the depth of flavor and deliciousness to the maximum. Despite not being very hungry, the soup went down smoothly. The noodles were unexpectedly thick and slightly chewy, but they paired perfectly with the soup and bean sprouts. I thought I wouldn't need a lot of bean sprouts, but with these crunchy bean sprouts, I could eat as much as I wanted. The chewy texture of the pork slices made me think that pork noodles might also be a good choice. The dumplings were undoubtedly one of the best I've ever had. The thickness of the skin, the balance with the filling, and the seasoning of the filling were all excellent. Especially, the seasoning of the filling was addictive. These dumplings, with neither a crispy texture nor dripping meat juice, were irresistible. The fried rice had plenty of chunky roasted pork and was also satisfying in terms of seasoning. This ramen, dumplings, and fried rice are undoubtedly a golden trio that cannot be found elsewhere.

The soup of the Char Siu Wonton Ramen Shoyu is on the richer side, giving a traditional Chinese noodle soup vibe. Personally, I found the flavor to be too strong, so I rated it lower. However, taste preferences vary, so I recommend giving it a try since many other reviews are positive.

I wonder how many years it has been? I rarely visit Shibuya, only for events and walking with friends... The last time I tried to go, I gave up because of the long line. This time, on my way back from an event with a colleague, we were lucky to wait for about 5 minutes on the 2nd floor and got seated. We started with a beer to quench our thirst, cheers! We had gyoza, yakibuta, and century egg as appetizers with a total of 5 beers - my uric acid level went up ⤴️ Everything was great and to my liking ❤️ The century egg was different, but still good... Gyoza and yakibuta are definitely recommended! I ordered the long noodles with bean sprouts ramen, and they accommodated my request for less noodles, which was much appreciated ❤️ My colleague was impressed on their first visit ☺️ It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing work in Shibuya, I headed towards Kiraku on Dogenzaka. It was just before 6 pm, so there was no wait outside and I was miraculously guided to the second floor to wait for a seat to open up. After about 7 minutes, a table facing each other became available and I sat down. The gyoza and char siu that I had ordered in advance arrived quickly. The gyoza had a good amount of filling with plenty of meat. The char siu was dipped in a sweet sauce and served with a generous amount of bean sprouts underneath, making it a satisfying side dish. I had a few beers and then ordered century egg. The perfectly cut century egg had no unpleasant smell. Now, it's time for the bean sprout ramen. The slightly sweet and oily rich soup paired well with the traditional Chinese-style soup and bean sprouts. When I dug through the bean sprouts to pull out the noodles, I was amazed to find thick, straight noodles - my favorite type! The flavor was amazing. I have never encountered such ramen before. The soup was delicious, but I absolutely loved the noodles. Even though I was already full, the irresistible charm of wanting to eat more is what makes this place a top-rated restaurant. I will definitely come back!

I usually don't like ramen that is typical of Chinese-style ramen found in local Chinese restaurants, but this was different. Originating from Taiwan, this ramen is in a different category from the ramen you typically find in Tokyo, but it still has a relaxed feel to it. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. I'm glad I went on this food adventure. The soup, made from pork bones and chicken, had a generous amount of oil and the unique sweetness and aroma from the fried green onions added depth to the entire soup. It was a flavor unlike any other ramen I've had before. The noodles were flat and medium-thick, providing a substantial texture that gave a sense of satisfaction. From the bean sprouts on top to every detail, it was a perfectly crafted bowl of ramen.

Ramen 3.5, Soup 3.3, Ingredients 3.2, Cost performance 3.3, Originality 3.2 It was a holiday, so there was quite a line before and after the opening. In no time, there were over 20 people in line. I ordered the salt-flavored Gomoku ramen for the first time. It was good, but didn't leave a strong impression of the unique characteristics of Kiraku. I ordered less noodles, but they were even fewer than I expected. As a result, I didn't overeat, so I could enjoy the fried rice as well. The fried rice was also good. I wonder if it doesn't come with soup. If you want to experience the unique flavors of this restaurant, I recommend trying their soy sauce-based menu. However, I'm also curious about the cold noodles and fried noodles.

I had plans to go to Shibuya for the first time in a while, so I visited Kiraku. Despite it being a summer day with temperatures exceeding 30℃, there was a line of 12 people at the entrance of the restaurant. It's truly a popular place. Today, I had the Char Siu Wonton Ramen again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

After a long time revisiting, I became addicted to this burnt green onion soy sauce ramen, craving its delicious taste! The thick noodles and crunchy bean sprouts are a great combination, with the noodles soaking up the soup well. This ramen is so delicious that I will definitely come back for more!

I arrived 15 minutes before the usual opening time and was second in line. By 10 minutes before opening, there were about 10 people in line, so that 5-minute difference was significant. The staff took our orders about 6-7 minutes before opening, and we were seated 2 minutes before opening. The food was served shortly after. I ordered the popular bean sprout noodles. The taste was not an immediate surprise, but rather a gradually enjoyable ramen that I appreciated more as I finished the bowl. When you're craving bean sprout noodles, this place will satisfy that craving with its expected deliciousness.

If we were to list a few ramen shops in Shibuya that most foodies would include in their top five, it would undoubtedly be "Chinamendokan Kiraku." Established in 1952, this long-standing shop has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. It is located in a pink-colored area called "Hyakken Tennyushoku-machi" off the main street of Dogenzaka. The opening hours are from 11:30 to 20:30, making it convenient, but there is always a long line. The first floor has counter seats, while the second floor has table seats. If you are dining alone, they will skip the group customers and seat you quickly, so it's better to visit alone to avoid any hassle. Additionally, food delivery services are quite active, with delivery drivers coming in and out, adding to the bustling atmosphere. I splurged and ordered the "Chashu Wantanmen (1,150 yen)" and the "Niku Yasai (650 yen)," totaling 1,800 yen. In conclusion, it was too much food, and for those with a normal appetite, it's best to stick to just one bowl of noodles. The chashu slices are thick and huge. They have a dry texture and are not particularly delicious, especially when left to cool, creating a cold relationship with the ramen. It's recommended to flip them over early on to replenish the moisture and temperature. The homemade wantan comes generously with six pieces. The seasoned egg is a hard-boiled type that feels outdated but adds a nostalgic touch to the dish. While the soups in traditional old-fashioned ramen shops are often light and lacking in flavor, the one here has a solid richness that leaves a lasting impression even in the Reiwa era. The noodles are fairly thick and cooked al dente, with a chewy texture that I personally enjoy. On the other hand, there are mixed opinions online, with comments like "inconsistent" and "too hard," so personal preference and luck may also play a part. The "Niku Yasai" dish is dominated by bean sprouts rather than vegetables, and since the ramen already has plenty of bean sprouts, it feels redundant. Perhaps "Niku Nira" would have been a better choice. The taste resembles the traditional Chinese-style meat and vegetable stir-fry found in downtown areas, similar to the popular Maika in Ebisu. All of this for 1,800 yen. As mentioned at the beginning, it was clearly too much food, and it would have been better to stick to just one bowl of ramen or add some pan-fried dumplings for a more balanced meal. Still, I'm curious about the "salt section" and the tempting fried rice options. If I have business in Shibuya again, I will definitely stop by this place.

Long time no visit. I had to take a break due to a shortage of staff, so I'm glad to be back. I tried the ☆Hiyashi Chuka (first attempt)☆ that I wanted to eat. It was full of ingredients (shredded omelette, char siu, bean sprouts, cabbage, pickled ginger) and the classic taste was solid. The noodles were medium thick and matched perfectly. The flavor is also classic, but it's somehow addictive. I wish I had ordered a large portion because I wanted to eat more even though I was already full. It's only available until 9/12, so I'll make sure to come earlier next year. It has become my personal favorite in the cold noodle series. The ☆Fried Rice☆ and the dumplings were reliably delicious. Thank you for the meal.

There was an event at Yoyogi Park, so I visited this place after a long time around 16:45 and was able to enter without waiting. The only option here is the moyashi ramen for 900 yen, and for some reason, I don't know why, but this is incredibly delicious! The thick noodles in soy sauce-based soup are perfect, and the stir-fried bean sprouts with lard complement it perfectly. The caramelized onions enhance the flavor even more! In short, no complaints! I enjoyed the taste of this long-standing excellent restaurant! It's hot inside the store... A towel is a must!

Today I went to Kiraku on Dogenzaka. I arrived around 2pm on a weekday, but the restaurant was full. About 5 people lined up behind me while waiting outside. I got in after about 10 minutes. I had the bean sprout wonton noodles (+ beer). The stir-fried vegetables went well with the chewy thick noodles. It was a flavor I enjoyed. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I went on a business trip to Tokyo in the morning and stopped by "Chinamen Restaurant Kiraku" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya Ward on my way back. It's been 7 months since my last visit. I had the "Bean Sprout Wonton Noodles" for 1,050 yen. This place has been selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops in Tokyo on Tabelog. The taste remains the same as it was about 30 years ago. The soup with burnt green onions is unforgettable once you try it. The crunchy bean sprouts and thick noodles are just perfect. The six wontons also filled me up.

I visited the restaurant around 18:00 on a weekday and was able to get in without waiting, dining alone. Although it was not as crowded as during lunchtime or weekends, about 80% of the seats were filled. The popular restaurant lived up to its reputation. I was debating between ordering the regular Chinese noodles, the bean sprout noodles which are a specialty here, or the pork belly noodles... but then I saw a regular-looking lady sitting in front of me who ordered the wonton noodles without even looking at the menu, so I decided to go with the wonton noodles too! The chicken broth and soy sauce combination gave the noodles a classic Chinese ramen taste! The slightly salty soup paired well with the bean sprouts and noodles. The noodles were thick and had a nice chewy texture. I couldn't resist ordering the fried rice, a classic dish at local Chinese restaurants. It was filled with lots of meat, which I loved. It was delicious! I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I was lucky to find a parking spot at a slightly distant parking lot near the famous Kiraku restaurant in Shibuya. When I arrived at 12:30, there were only 2 people ahead of me, but soon 8 more people lined up behind. The turnover was really fast, and I was seated on the second floor within 5 minutes. I ordered the ramen and fried rice. The ramen had a soy sauce-based soup with a rich flavor, and the unique flat egg noodles were really good. The simmered egg and char siu were ordinary but delicious. The fried rice had a homey taste that I personally enjoyed. What surprised me the most was the price of the ramen, which was only 800 yen. It was not a small portion at all. The fried rice was priced at 850 yen, which I thought was a bit high, but considering that ramen alone can cost around 1600 yen these days, I found it to be very cost-effective.

Today's lunch noodles❣️ I went to Kiraku in Shibuya for the first time in a while. I had their bean sprout noodles❣️ with an egg topping. The crispy fried leeks added a nice aroma to the flavorful soup, and the stir-fried bean sprouts were delicious as always. Also, the black marinated egg was so tasty. Thank you for the meal♪♪♪♪ #KirakuShibuya #KirakuBeanSproutNoodles #FriedLeeks #KirakuMarinatedEgg

I stopped by Shibuya on a business trip and had the famous Kiraku's Chinese noodles with meat and leek. I paired it with beer and had a blissful lunchtime. The refreshing and flavorful soup with pride onions, bean sprouts, and char siu was delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Arrived at 13:30, there were about 5 groups lined up outside, but we were able to enter before 14:00 thanks to the fast turnover. I ordered the moyashi soba, which had a strong garlic flavor. The moyashi chan on top was delicious, adding a unique touch to the ramen. The ramen itself had crispy fried green onions on top, giving it a delicious aroma. The thick noodles were also very tasty. Additionally, the delivery person, possibly from Uber, was handing out water and candy, which was very impressive. It's a heartfelt space. I really like this kind of shop. ❤️
