I have visited this restaurant a few times, but this is my first review. The main dish here is the Nikujiru Ramen, but I ordered the Nikujiru Don Level 3 (270g of meat). It comes with a separate soup that is the same as the Nikujiru Ramen soup. It also comes with an egg. I always use this restaurant when I come to Akihabara. The taste is strong but delicious, so I recommend everyone to try it out.

On a Saturday night when I had business in Akihabara, after finishing my errand around 7 pm, I decided to have dinner in the area near Suehirocho Station. As I walked down a side street from the main road, I passed by many maid cafes and eventually arrived at Nikujiru Men Susumu. Despite the name suggesting noodles, they also served rice bowl dishes. It had been a while since I had eaten noodles, and with the heat of the day, I had thought to myself, "I'm going to eat that!" But...

Ramen is served in regular portion, but you cannot increase the noodles. However, you can add more meat. The restaurant is spacious, so you can easily get a seat even during busy hours. The meat is well-seasoned and goes well with rice. Even if you're really hungry, the regular portion may be enough.

After 9 months, I visited the restaurant around 6:30 PM on a weekday and ordered the Meat Dipping Noodles Level 1 for 880 yen. I handed over my ticket and meat upgrade service voucher, then sat at the counter with 4 other customers. The dish was served in just 7 minutes. The noodles were thick, about 200g. The soup had a strong fish broth with soy sauce flavor, and there was meat in it. I couldn't really tell how much the meat was upgraded. The dipping sauce had a lot of oil, making the taste hard to discern. I liked the noodles, but felt that the balance between the noodles and soup was off. I tried dipping the meat in beaten egg, but it didn't mix well and didn't turn into a sukiyaki-style flavor. I preferred the ramen I had last time.

The portion was messy. This was before I even started eating. It was past 2 pm and not very busy, so there shouldn't have been a rush. I've tried their meat juice noodles before, but the meat didn't suit my taste. This time I tried the rice bowl, but the impression remained the same. It's like fried meat coated in a sweet and savory sauce, but it feels kind of powdery and not very appetizing. The pictures outside make the food look delicious, though. Also, you'll likely receive a coupon for extra meat or free rice with no expiration date every time you go.

I visited "Nikuju Men Susumu," located a few minutes' walk from Akihabara Station. I had known about this place for a while, and finally went when I was really hungry, as it seemed like a must-try from the photos outside the shop. At 6 pm, there were 3 customers ahead of me and 3 behind me. I checked out the ticket machine by the entrance, and saw options like Level 2 with 200g of meat, Level 1 with 130g of meat, and three types of rice for ¥100 each. Since it was my first visit, I went with the basic 130g of meat and a large rice. Here is what I ordered: - Ramen ¥880 - Large rice ¥100 I thought about getting the extra-large portion, but when I saw on the ticket machine that it was 400g, I decided against it. The large rice arrived, but it wasn't really large... maybe I should have gone for the extra-large after all? I'll explain more in the results below, but not going for the extra-large was the right choice. Then came the ramen. The soup was pitch black, but surprisingly light and not salty at all, with a hint of fish powder flavor. However, it lacked richness, and a lot of oil from the fried pork kept floating to the top. I read the instructions on the table and added garlic, but it ended up overpowering the little flavor that was there. The soup was a struggle to finish. The noodles were medium-thick and firm, cooked just right. And finally, the anticipated meat! It was coated in starch, fried, and then seared, with a thick, enticing sauce drizzled on top. I took a bite... and was disappointed. The excessive starch made the meat soggy, mushy, and sweet, not tasty at all. I'm glad I didn't get extra meat... the rice was supposed to save the meal, but the meat was so bad that it didn't help speed up the rice consumption. In the end, I'm relieved I didn't go for the extra-large portion. Overall, this place had the biggest gap between expectations and reality that I can remember in recent years. Goodbye, Nikuju Men Susumu. Rating: ★1.2. June 2023.

Around noon on a regular day, ignoring the long line at Tanaka Soba in front of me, I decided to visit this restaurant. I haven't seen many women here, but that doesn't matter, right? I chose the Nikujyu Don Level 1 from the ticket machine outside, which comes with 130g of meat. I sat at the counter and handed over my meal ticket. Everyone around me was slurping noodles. It seems I have no dining companions today. First, a raw egg was served. It came with a tool to separate the egg white and yolk. I decided to have both. I also received a voucher for an extra 100g of meat for my next visit. I wonder if I can eat that much... but I'll gratefully accept it. After a few minutes of waiting, my meal arrived. The soup with back fat was also included. On top of the rice were chopped seaweed, the main meat, kimchi, and green onions. It looked like a manly meal. The soup and meat had a rich color, giving the impression of a strong flavor, but it actually wasn't that strong. The meat was coated in starch and fried, then covered in a sweet and salty garlic sauce. Personally, I think a stronger flavor would be better. The meat slices were large, so it would have been easier to eat if they were cut in half. I mumbled to myself as I ate the kimchi and pickles on the table. I felt like I could keep eating endless rice. I added the egg, poured some sauce, but it didn't come out... I gave up timidly. The soup, despite its dark color, was surprisingly light. Maybe it's better to save the kimchi until the end. Despite all my ramblings, at 680 yen in this day and age, with an egg included, I thought it was good value for money. I'll come back next time clutching my 100g extra meat voucher. Thank you for the meal.

Looking for dinner in Akihabara. Checked the BM and found a place called "Nikujiru Men Susumu" nearest to Suehirocho Station. It seems like a place that might be less popular as the heat increases. Alright, let's go here today. - Spicy Nikujiru Men (Level 2) 980 yen - White rice (extra large 300g) 100 yen In just 5 minutes, a bowl that looks instantly like junk food was served. But wait, before that, can I have a paper apron please? Oh, it was on the self-service water dispenser. The bowl is hot, spicy, and has a strong flavor. Not rich, but just intensely flavorful. The sweet and savory soy sauce-based soup pairs well with garlic and curry powder on the table, making it even more junky. The noodles are thick and chewy. They are quite firm even as default. Not bad, but a bit more chewiness would be nice. The 200g of pork in Level 2 is large and filling. There are Level 3 and MAX options, but I think most people would be satisfied with this. The pork is coated with starch or something, so it absorbs the sauce well. Plus, the meat is tender and tasty. And of course, I'll have extra rice!

The noodles were thick and straight, providing a satisfying chew, but the soup was not as rich in flavor as expected given its color. The meat had a decent amount of breading and did not have the straightforward meaty taste I was hoping for. I was bothered by the frequent private conversations among the staff, and it was disappointing that there was no farewell greeting when leaving the restaurant.

Today is Meat Day, so I felt like eating a lot of meat and visited this place after a long time. Although the restaurant's name suggests that noodles are the main dish, I always end up ordering the meat juice bowl. They have levels ranging from 1 to MAX, and this time I used a service ticket to get level 4. The rice portion may seem small, but there is plenty of meat, so it feels just right. First, I eat it as it is to savor the meat, then I add the raw egg that comes with it. Finally, I enjoy it all at once, and you can add toppings like pickled ginger, pickled cucumber, garlic, curry powder, etc., according to your preference.

- The average rating is 3.0 points, with ratings in 0.5 increments. - The overall score is calculated by multiplying food/taste by 4, service by 2, atmosphere by 2, and cost performance by 2, then dividing the total by 10 (alcohol/drinks are not included). - Not specified - It was delicious.

[Shop Name] Nikujiru Men Susumu [Nearest Station] Suehirocho Station 4 minutes on foot, Akihabara Station 12 minutes on foot [Lunch Budget] 880-1080 yen Visited in April 2023 [About the Shop] While walking around the Akihabara area for materials shopping, I was looking for a place to have lunch as it was around lunchtime. I came across a sign with the unfamiliar term "Nikujiru Men" near Suehirocho Station, which is like the outer garden of Akihabara, and found it interesting, so I decided to visit. I quickly glanced at the menu posted outside the shop and purchased a meal ticket from the ticket machine outside the shop. I handed the meal ticket to the staff as I entered the shop and took a seat. The shop has table seats and counter seats facing the kitchen. This time, I was seated at the counter. The customers were mainly male Akihabara tourists, and there were also many foreigners. [About the Food] ★ Nikujiru Men Level 1 880 yen ★ Steamed Rice 100 yen Since "the partner is steamed rice!" was highly recommended, I also ordered steamed rice as a set. Soon, the Nikujiru Men, steamed rice, and raw egg were served. I cracked the raw egg into the Nikujiru Men and tried it. The soup was pitch black and had a slightly salty taste. The noodles were thick straight type that absorbed the soup well, so they were also quite salty. Eating the steamed rice with the noodles made for a good balance. I understand why "the partner is steamed rice!" is highly recommended. The meat ingredients seemed to be coated with potato starch, giving them a soft and slightly crispy texture similar to fried chicken. Overall, it seems like they are creating volume while keeping costs down. There is a satisfying amount of food, but the flavors are quite rough, so you might get tired of it halfway through. Thank you for the meal.

Located a 2-minute walk from exit 3 of Suehirocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, this restaurant is situated on Akihabara Junk Street. The eye-catching sign with an impactful store name makes it easy to find. The spacious interior offers plenty of table and counter seats. The menu features a series of dishes called "Niku-Jiru" including Niku-Jiru Ramen, Niku-Jiru Tsukemen, and Niku-Jiru Don. The Niku-Jiru Ramen, available until March 31, 2023, uses pork with a higher fat content as the main meat. It is coated with flour, resembling Koromo, and seasoned with a sweet and savory sauce. The coating helps seal in the tenderness and umami flavor. The soup base is animal-based, combining seasoned pork and back fat for a rich and punchy taste. The thick straight noodles are cooked al dente, providing a satisfying chew. In addition to pork, the dish includes bean sprouts and green onions. The crunchy bean sprouts and refreshing spiciness of the green onions complement the dish well. A raw egg is served as a side for the Niku-Jiru Ramen, allowing you to mix in the yolk for a milder flavor. The richness of the dish makes it enjoyable to pair the pork with rice as well. Bon appétit.

I ordered a 200g meat juice noodles and a 200g white rice bowl. The 200g refers to the amount of meat, not noodles. The noodles are medium thickness and delicious when combined with the broth. The meat is sweet and savory, so I tried putting it on top of the white rice to make a bowl dish. I also made a stamina bowl by adding the raw egg that came with the meal. The pickled red ginger and cucumber were free to take as much as you want. I didn't feel too full, so maybe I still fall into the category of being young (laughs). It's very filling and highly recommended.

Last lunch with a friend. Started the day with gym training, then walked from Tsukiji to Akihabara. Played board games, which was my friend's hobby, and really got our brains working. Still full of energy, but as a 40-something trainee, I need those calories! Somehow my friend chose this restaurant, which I recognized from a manga. Didn't want to refuse, plus the exterior was cool, so we went in. Bought a meal ticket - the top one, MAX, cost 2080 yen, so I went for the one below it: ramen with extra rice (400g) for 1080 + 100 yen. Waited at the counter for 5 minutes and got my steaming hot ramen with meat on top. The soup was hot, which was good, but lacked the bonito flavor. The noodles were so-so. The meat was a bit too much coated in starch. But hey, let's enjoy it without forming a bad impression. Cracked an egg into a separate bowl and enjoyed it like sukiyaki - great idea! Added garlic for extra punch. Putting pickled ginger on the rice made it even tastier. Hey, this is pretty enjoyable! Even if each element wasn't perfect, trying different approaches made it more enjoyable (delicious), just like training and food go hand in hand. Finished it easily. When I talked to my friend, they couldn't get past the initial vague impression of the soup. Too bad - you picked the place, buddy! Well, thanks for the meal!

I used to be hooked on this place for a while. I had almost forgotten how much I liked it. But I thought I could handle level 3, so I bought a meal ticket. The atmosphere inside was nice and efficient. The food came out pretty quickly after ordering. Oh, right, this is the kind of meat they serve here. The sweet and savory meat was really delicious. The soup was also really tasty. I like the texture of the noodles, but it was a bit hard to eat with the plastic chopsticks – they were slippery. They should use wooden chopsticks instead.

I couldn't understand why this place is so popular. I love rich flavors and meat, and I enjoy meals with a good portion size. I thought maybe it was because of my age, but apparently that's not the case. The brown meat that I was excited about turned out to be much milder than I expected, and the noodles didn't quite match my taste preferences. It's a strange place where all the elements are not bad, but it just doesn't resonate with me in the opposite way. However, it seems to be thriving to some extent, which is truly puzzling. It wasn't until I turned the rice into a bowl, poured sauce over it, and used the condiments on the table that it finally hit the spot. Ah, I see. It's the type of place that becomes delicious when you fine-tune it to your own taste. From the outside, it may seem extreme at first glance, but it's actually a place where you gradually refine your own tuning. I finally feel like I've discovered how to enjoy this place. Satisfied! Thank you for the meal!

Located in front of a famous ramen shop with long lines in Akihabara. If the former is considered Chinese noodles, then this place serves gutsy noodles. The ramen comes with green pepper-less shredded pork on top... which makes it easy to understand. This made me crave rice as well, so I ordered Level 2 (with 200g of meat) and a raw egg, and I was completely satisfied. This place seems to be popular among young men.

I came to Akihabara for a hobby event and sneaked out during a job switch at the venue for lunch. I had the meat juice dipping noodles (Level 1) with white rice (regular) for ¥980. The broth had a light color, the pork loin was coated with potato starch and was soft, and the noodles were hearty like Tokushima ramen with plenty of white rice. It seemed like having a raw egg was default, so I went for a meat-topped rice bowl with raw egg. It's a real man's meal and it's good!

I visited the restaurant "Nikujiru Men Susumu" with a rating of 3.47 on Tabelog. It is located in Akihabara. The exterior stands out with its flashy appearance in a back alley of a restaurant district. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating. It is known as a place for mega-sized meals, similar to Takadanobaba. I visited for lunch with two young salesmen after a negotiation. This restaurant is popular among people in their 20s, and I tried their signature dish, "Nikujiru Men Level 2." It is a ramen with pork belly that is truly impressive. The soup is pitch black but not overly thick. The thick noodles mix well with the soup, and the raw egg, green onions, and bean sprouts create a perfect harmony. It is a stamina ramen with a strong punch. The appearance is appealing, and the taste is incredibly powerful. Isn't it a great restaurant?
