I wanted to eat pasta and had been curious about this restaurant for a while! There is a ticket machine at the entrance, with a wide variety of pasta options that made it a bit difficult to choose! The interior of the restaurant has only counter seats where you can see outside. The pasta has extremely thick noodles, almost like tsukemen! The Genovese pasta had a strong basil aroma that stimulated the senses, and the chewy noodles mixed well with the basil sauce and tasted delicious!

A pasta restaurant with chewy thick noodles!! It's easy to go in alone and the pasta is delicious. The taste has remained the same since my university days. I discovered that I prefer cream sauce over oil sauce because the noodles are chewy thick. Thank you for the meal!

Around 7:30 p.m. on Friday, I happened to pass by and decided to stop by this restaurant. I paid in cash at the ticket machine in advance. I love Arrabiata, so I quickly chose that option. It was a great deal at 750 yen for a regular size. It was served in about 10 minutes. The pasta had a visual appearance of thick Chinese noodles. The fried garlic had a strong aroma that stimulated my appetite. The pasta sauce didn't really stick to the noodles, but the noodles were chewy and delicious. The tomato sauce was sweet as I had hoped, with a slight spiciness, and the fried garlic flavor was strong. It might be better to avoid eating this before work. The restaurant is small, but the counter seats on the second floor by the window are cozy, and the food is cheap and delicious, making it a great place to quickly grab a meal alone.

I visited the restaurant for lunch by myself! It was a little before 12 o'clock, so there was no line, but the inside of the restaurant was almost full! The menu is in the form of buying a meal ticket, and this time I ordered spaghetti with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce! The pasta was homemade and was chewy and delicious! The tomato sauce was also delicious! The cheese was delicious too! And all of that for less than 1,000 yen! The portion size is not that big, so it's great for women! Men might want to go for the large size! Thank you for the meal!

I visited Potapasta again, where I had been before. Last time I had Carbonara, but this time I wanted to have garlic, so I ordered the Aglio e Olio. It was spicy with chili and garlic, and the aroma of garlic was irresistible and delicious.

Located next to Shibuya Station at Mark City, this standing yakiniku restaurant on the 2nd floor offers authentic fresh pasta at a casual and affordable price. The space is not large, but they create a stylish atmosphere with a display of many wine bottles. The noodles have a chewy texture typical of fresh pasta and taste better than the price suggests. The menu is extensive, allowing you to choose based on your mood of the day. In the midst of rising ingredient costs, I am extremely grateful for this price!

Located near the well-known Pasta restaurant "Ramen Samurai" in Shibuya, this casual pasta shop operates on a ticket system. The prices are reasonable, with dishes like Arrabbiata for 740 yen, Aglio e Olio for 690 yen, and Taraspaghetti for 840 yen. I tried the Shirasu (baby sardines) and Ooba (perilla leaf) pasta this time! The first thing that surprised me was the thickness of the noodles. They were wavy medium-thick noodles! It's not your typical pasta, so opinions may vary, but if you like firm medium-thick noodles like those in tsukemen, you'll probably love it. The wheat flavor is strong, and the noodles have a good firmness. It's a bit difficult to twirl with a fork, but it's a pasta that I really like! They might as well just serve it with chopsticks. It's a garlic oil-based dish with plenty of kettle-cooked Shirasu and a refreshing flavor from the Ooba. Mmm, this is a pasta that I enjoy! The foreigner next to me left a lot on their plate haha. If you have a big appetite, you might want to go for the large portion. I will definitely come back here! Thank you for the meal!

I went around 2 pm, just after lunchtime. There was no wait, and right before I pressed for the carbonara on the ticket machine, I found a limited-time menu item. It was the limited item #3, Tarako Uni Pasta. Oh, this is it, I decided instantly. I handed the ticket to the staff and was seated. The meal arrived in about 10 minutes. The thick noodles were well coated with the sauce and delicious. The noodles were more like ramen noodles than pasta. I realized it would have been better to get the large serving, but it was too late. I made sure to finish all the sauce. When you're in Shibuya and looking for a quick meal, I recommend this place.

Entered the restaurant at 11:50 on Saturday. There was a line for ordering food tickets, but no other waiting time. Since there are only counter seats, solo customers have an advantage, haha. I ordered the Tomato and Mushroom Boscaiola. Since I couldn't choose wine for the drink set, I added a glass of red wine. It felt like a bit of a wait, but I didn't time it. The noodles were thick, more like UDON than pasta, haha. The taste was excellent. The majority of customers were groups of two women.

Next to Jiro Maru's building, on the 2nd floor, there is a fresh pasta restaurant. I revisited after 5 years (*・∀・*)ノ At 1 pm, the small restaurant with about 10 counter seats was bustling with customers. I managed to snag the last seat (those who arrived after me had to wait, but since it's only counter seating, turnover is quick). The limited 3 options were sold out, so I ordered the mackerel and shiso pasta with an iced coffee, which I had been curious about since my last visit 5 years ago. Total cost was 1090 yen. I purchased the meal ticket from the machine at the top of the stairs and handed it to the kitchen staff. The food was served in about 10 minutes. The chewy texture was still as good as I remembered d(*´∀｀*)b. It's delicious on its own, but I added some spicy oil for an extra kick. The mackerel was plentiful in the dish, though it was hidden by the pasta. One downside was that the first two seats by the entrance were hit by direct sunlight, making it quite bright and hot, so it's better to choose a seat further back if possible. I noticed the lady next to me quickly moved to a seat at the back as soon as it became available (I also wanted to move, but since I had already eaten more than half of my meal, I gave up and hurriedly finished my food before leaving). Although there are many other restaurants I'm curious about, I think this one has good value for the price (I even followed them on Instagram). I'll definitely come back again♪

Visit date: 06/01/2023 Order: Tarako Butter Cream Pasta 840 yen [Comment] I have always loved pasta, especially spaghetti, but I tend to lean towards set meals or ramen when dining out. When I crave a delicious pasta at a reasonable price, I usually think of Rome-spa, but there isn't one in the area (not that there aren't any chain restaurants). In the midst of this, I visited this restaurant for the first time. It has a great location right in front of the station, making it easily accessible. On the second floor, there is a ticket machine. The restaurant is small with a counter as the main feature. I debated between carbonara and my favorite tarako dish. The dish was served without much of a wait. It looked appetizing. With the first bite, I thought, "The noodles are delicious." They are not dried noodles but fresh, and although I usually don't respond well to fresh pasta, I really enjoyed theirs. The seasoning was also good. I could taste the tarako, all at this price. Next time, I think I'll try the carbonara. Thank you for the meal.

This is my second visit. There were some changes from my previous visit. First, the option to choose between small and medium sizes has been replaced with one size only, with a slight price increase. Also, the menu names have been changed from "Miracle Bolognese" to "Bolognese" and from "Nostalgic Neapolitan" to "Neapolitan". The taste and portion size were very satisfying.

I ordered the mentaiko cream pasta. It costs 840 yen, which seems to be higher than last time I came. Perhaps it's due to the recent inflation. The noodles here are chewy and delicious. I feel like the mentaiko cream pasta would be even better with thin noodles. I like this place, but I would come more often if they had salad. Thank you for the meal!

I found a stylish pasta restaurant in Shibuya. It is located on the second floor of a building on Dōgenzaka. The interior is fashionable and welcoming. It is a place that serves fresh pasta, and it was very delicious. I had the mushroom pasta and it made me love pasta even more. The portion size was good, the prices were reasonable, and I left satisfied. The focaccia was a bit average though...

It's great that you can easily dine alone and enjoy hand-made pasta! I had the meat sauce and it was delicious. There were so many options that I couldn't decide. Next time, I'm torn between mentaiko, carbonara, shiso, what should I choose? I want to try various flavors with this pasta. I heard they raised the prices, but considering it's hand-made, I think it's still cheap!

I visited around 2:00 PM on a weekday. The second floor only has counter seats, and the store is quite small inside. There is also a third floor, but I overheard the staff saying that it's currently not in use, so it seems easy to get a seat at this time. The service was quick, and I didn't stay for more than 30 minutes. There was a steady flow of customers coming in and out, so I imagine lunchtime must be quite busy. I tried the popular dish, tomato and mozzarella pasta, which was served hot and delicious. Personally, I think this pasta would go well with meat sauce or bolognese. I heard that prices increased in April, but I still think pasta for less than 1000 yen is cheap. Thank you for the meal.

I visited after a long time and found that the menu had changed. Before, you could choose the size, but now it seems to be only one size. A bit disappointing. I hesitated a bit at the ticket machine, but ended up ordering the mentaiko cream pasta again. I got the focaccia drink set. It was just before the last order for lunch, so the chef was working alone. Despite that, the service was fast and I appreciated it. The steam was amazing... it looked really hot. The pasta had a chewy texture, not like typical pasta. It was satisfying to eat. I finished all the cream with the focaccia. The focaccia was more chewy than fluffy. I feel like having this chewy pasta once in a while. I'll visit again when I feel like it. Thank you for the meal.

I used to frequent a standing bar that has now transformed into a pasta restaurant. Feeling partly nostalgic, I decided to sit at the counter by the window this time. I ordered the carbonara, which had a unique texture with slightly firm and twisted noodles. I couldn't quite decide if it was al dente or not. The salty flavor of the pancetta was strong, which I personally enjoyed. The focaccia, for an additional 200 yen, was lightly toasted and had a chewy texture that was delicious. I think it's a must if you want to enjoy the sauce at the end.

This time, I ordered Carbonara (790 yen) and Mint Ceylon Tea (200 yen). The Pomodoro I ordered before was only 590 yen, so I couldn't help but feel that the cost performance was worse than before. However, the unique fresh pasta was so delicious that the price didn't really matter. The tea was still delicious, with a refreshing mint flavor. The restaurant only has counter seats and doesn't seem like a place where you can relax for a long time, but everyone was chatting and it seemed like the average stay time would be long. I also enjoyed a leisurely time with Ceylon tea. I'll definitely go back again.

Pasta restaurant near Shibuya Station. You enter the entrance and go up to the second floor to purchase a ticket from a vending machine. There are a large variety of menu options, so you won't get bored even after multiple visits. Previously, you could choose between small (S) and medium (M) sizes, but now only medium (M) size is available. The minimum price was surprisingly low at 590 yen for the Pomodoro pasta, which was located at the top left of the vending machine, so I assumed it was a classic menu item and decided to try it. The second floor was full, so I was directed to the third floor, where it was quiet and had a nice atmosphere with plenty of wine glasses displayed. Although the space was stylish, it was a bit dark for good photo opportunities. The Pomodoro pasta served was delicious with chewy noodles and a fantastic tomato sauce. While it didn't come with salad or bread, the pasta alone was satisfying. The portion size was decent, but if you're really hungry, it might not be enough. The cozy atmosphere made me order a pot of Ceylon tea for an additional 200 yen, which was a generous 300ml and had a delightful aroma and taste. I had a great lunchtime experience and I'm interested in trying other menu items, so I plan to visit again. [Rating] ★★★★★★★★ 8/10 [Certified as a great restaurant!!!]
