Char siu ramen for ¥950 with extra noodles for ¥100, extra onions for ¥50, and gyoza for ¥350. Cash payment only. Visit rating 3.74. First of all, the gyoza is honestly just average. But considering the price, it's understandable. In my experience, better gyoza usually comes at a higher price. But let's exclude the gyoza from the rating, because the ramen is just too good! Now, onto the ramen. It was mind-blowing! From the first sip of the soup, I thought, "Wow, this is delicious!" The aroma of dried fish is subtle, followed by a strong and tasty broth with hints of chicken and soy sauce. The noodles are thin and straight, perfectly cooked and delicious. The char siu is thick, tender, and flavorful. The amount of char siu is satisfying. Other toppings include bamboo shoots and seaweed, just the right amount of everything. And the onions! They are crunchy but not spicy, blending perfectly with the chewy noodles. Most customers seem to order extra onions, and I can see why. It's a must-have! The ramen retains the simplicity of Chinese soba while incorporating the unique feature of Hachioji ramen – the finely chopped onions. The result is a satisfying bowl of ramen that isn't heavy but still leaves you feeling content. I was truly impressed by this. I definitely want to come back for more!

I visited the long-established ramen shop Chuka Soba Goemon in Nishi-Hachioji for the first time with my ramen friends in Hachioji. I had high expectations as it is said to be run by the parents of Takuma from Hachioji and Ishikawa from Kokuryo. I ordered the Chashu Ramen for 1000 yen, with an additional 50 yen for extra onions. When I took a sip of the soup, I was impressed - it's the quintessential Hachioji ramen, but unlike tantan and Minmin, the broth is not too heavy and has a good balance with the fish stock. It's a very easy-to-drink and gentle soup! The noodles are thin and straight, with a firm texture and good bite. They complement the soup well and help bring out the essence of Hachioji ramen. The toppings are excellent, especially the tender and tasty chashu. The sliced menma is a must-have for Hachioji ramen, and the fresh and non-spicy onions go perfectly with the soup. The seasonal variation of onions is a great touch and highly recommended. After finishing my meal, I felt light and satisfied. The well-balanced soup continued to work its magic even after I had finished eating. The highlight of Goemon is definitely the onions. The value for money is unbeatable. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds, with the staff being kind and attentive. It's clear that Goemon has a wonderful ramen DNA. Thank you for the delicious meal! I wonder if Goemon is related to Ishikawa Goemon...

I visited again, this time in the evening. There was only one customer when I arrived, but the place quickly filled up with more customers. The price has increased by 50 yen since September, with the Char siu ramen now costing 1000 yen. The thick slices of tender Char siu were delicious as always, with no unpleasant smell or greasiness. The medium-thick straight noodles had a nice firm texture. However, I noticed that the soup was saltier than before, which was a bit of a downside for me. Overall, the experience was great with excellent service from the owner, so I would still recommend this place.

The Hachioji ramen here had a slightly seafood-flavored broth. It had a good amount of onions, so I would like to try that next time. The staff were friendly and the taste was delicious. It's no wonder this place is popular. They seem to be open for lunch without a break, so you can even go for a late lunch. Even when I went late, there was a bit of a line today. Truly a popular spot. It doesn't look like there's a parking lot at the restaurant, but there are a few coin parking lots around, so visiting by car is not a problem.

I went to Minmin Ramen but didn't want to wait in line, so I ended up at another popular ramen shop. The ramen had a strong bonito flavor and was not bad. The noodles were delicious. It might have been even better without the green onions. It was a unique Hachioji ramen experience.

After dropping off my son in Nishi-Hachioji, I decided to search for a ramen shop on Tabelog. It was already past 3:30 PM, but I found a great place that was open from 11 AM to 5 PM. The shop had a traditional feel with only counter seating, and the menu was surprisingly affordable! I ordered the Chuka Soba for 650 yen and Gyoza for 350 yen. The dishes arrived quickly, and they looked amazing. The aroma of dried fish hit me first, followed by the delicious chicken and soy sauce flavors in the soup. The Hachioji-style ramen is known for its onions, and they were excellent here. I was thrilled to have found such a great spot! The gyoza was average, but at 350 yen, the value was unbeatable. I can't wait to bring my son here next time for the Char Siu Ramen! Just a heads up, there is no parking nearby, but there is a coin parking lot. Thank you for the delicious meal!

When I visited around 2 o'clock, the place was full and there were even people waiting outside, so I decided to come back at a different time. When I returned, there were hardly any customers and it felt like I had the place to myself. I ordered the Negi Ramen with extra onions, and the owner was very friendly. The Hachioji Ramen I tried for the first time had a gentle flavor and was deliciously comforting. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Hachioji.

I visited on a hot day. Even though I went at a time that was past lunch on Saturday, there were about 6 people waiting in line. I waited for about 15 minutes before entering. Inside, it seemed like a family was running the place and the customer service was very pleasant. I ordered the Negi Chashu Ramen, and it was incredibly delicious... The soy sauce ramen with a comforting bonito flavor, and the chopped onions did a great job. The chashu was tender and flavorful, I couldn't help but get lost in eating it. It's really a shame that the location is so far away...

Three minutes walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station, there is a popular Chinese noodle shop called Goe-mon. I ordered the Char siu ramen for 950 yen. The shop opens at 11 o'clock, but there is usually a line even before that. I recommend going around 15:30 to avoid waiting in line. The special feature of Hachioji ramen is the onion, which goes really well with the ramen. You can add extra onions for an additional 50 yen. I highly recommend trying the straight noodles, onions, and char siu together. It's absolutely delicious.

Located just a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station, near the library along Koshu Kaido. There is always a long line, and I had always wanted to try it someday. I finally had the chance to visit on a weekday afternoon. It was a rainy day, but there was still a long line, and I waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. I had the large serving of Chuka Soba. It came with medium straight noodles, seaweed, chopped onions, two slices of chashu, and a rich soup. It felt like a classic Hachioji ramen to me. It cost 750 yen, but it was very filling and I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since I visited. This popular shop represents Hachioji ramen, which is soy sauce-based Chinese noodles with lard and chopped onions. Each shop has its own unique style, but most are considered to be among the top 3 in this genre. The balance of soy sauce, broth, oil, and ingredients creates a very good taste and aroma, and the cost performance is also good. The char siu is made from thigh meat, I think, but it is very tender and goes well with the soup. Even in the middle of summer, there are always lines, but I recommend trying this shop at least once.

Visited Hachioji Ramen Goemon for the first time. Arrived on a Saturday around 1 pm and had to wait for about 15 minutes with 3 groups ahead of us. Surprisingly, we were seated fairly quickly! Ordered the Negi Chashu Ramen with extra onions and firm noodles, along with a cold beer. The sweetness of the onions was perfect and a taste I had never experienced before! The white onions were also crunchy and incredibly delicious!

In Hachioji Nishi, I was unsure of what to have for lunch and turned to my trusted food log for help. This time, despite the heat, I decided to visit a popular restaurant where there is usually a long line. As always, I felt a bit nervous during my first visit as I waited in line and carefully studied the menu posted inside the restaurant. I chose the following: Chuka Soba (Chinese noodle soup) for ¥650, with extra green onions for an additional ¥50. It was the King of Hachioji Ramen. This Hachioji ramen had such depth of flavor! The well-marinated chashu pork, delicate and refined menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), and generous amount of onions made me break into a sweat as I savored the deliciousness and finished every last bit. It was so tasty. Thank you for the meal. The staff at the restaurant also provided excellent service, making it a pleasant day.

I had been eager to try Hachioji Ramen for a while, and I finally went to Goemon, one of the top three shops. I ordered the Menma Char Siu Ramen with extra onions and seaweed (1150 yen) around 3 pm. The visual of the bowl covered in onions was lovely. The soy sauce-based flavor with the sweetness of the onions was delicious. The Char Siu was tender and easy to eat. It was tasty, filling, and I will definitely come back!

Solo venture. Visited Goe Mon in Nishi-Hachioji. Tried Hachioji Ramen for the first time and it was delicious! There was an option for extra toppings with lots of onions, but I ordered the regular ramen. The noodles were firm and the soup was also delicious.

Appearance The shop is located about a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station on the JR Chuo Main Line, along Route 20 (commonly known as Koshu Kaido). The exterior is a quite weathered tent, but it was established in 1994. It seems to always have a line during lunchtime, indicating that it is quite a popular shop. Parking is not available at the store, but there are coin-operated parking lots nearby as the station is also close by. Interior The interior consists of only an L-shaped counter seat, giving a cozy impression with ample space between seats. There are a total of 10 counter seats. The menu offers only one type of ramen, with a total of 7 variations based on toppings. Additional toppings are limited to seaweed and onions. The side menu includes rice and gyoza, also kept simple. Gyoza The gyoza comes in a standard size of 5 pieces per serving. It has a distinctive well-browned, firm sear. The skin is very thin, offering a crispy sear texture and a chewy texture despite the thin skin. The filling mainly consists of meat and cabbage, providing juiciness and deliciousness. Menma Ramen Upon reading a review on Tabelog that the "Menma Ramen is delicious," I couldn't help but order it. The amount of menma in the Menma Ramen lives up to its name, generously included and cooked to a tender texture. The flavor is quite rich in a sweet and spicy taste, not overwhelming, making it enjoyable even with rice. Chashu The chashu, made from domestic pork shoulder, is cut slightly thick but in a smaller size. It is not heavily seasoned, allowing the deliciousness of the meat to shine through, with a good level of chewiness. Noodles The noodles are thin with a slight curl, providing a smooth and slippery texture that pairs well with the soup, offering a pleasant mouthfeel. The large portion option seemed quite generous in noodle quantity. Soup The surface of the ramen is generously topped with one of the main features of Hachioji Ramen, plenty of onions. The onions add a sweet flavor and complement the soup well without being overpowering. The soup is a rich brown color, based on pork bones, bonito, mackerel, and aromatic vegetables, enhanced with soy sauce aged for two weeks and homemade special lard. It has a noticeable sweetness, a strong umami taste, and a nostalgic yet robust punch, which I personally enjoyed. Review "Absolutely!!!! Will definitely come back!!!!"

It's been a while since I last visited. When it comes to ramen in hachioji, this place is the one. There were about 8 people waiting outside. The turnover is fast, so I waited for about 15 minutes. I ordered the Chashu Ramen with extra noodles and onion toppings. It was a delicious and satisfying taste. Thank you for the meal.

I revisited the restaurant around 2:30 pm on a weekday in June 2023. There were five groups of customers already there. This time, I ordered the "Chuka Soba" verbally. It was served to me over the counter as soon as it was ready. The Chuka Soba had a broth that was stronger than soy sauce, and it was a refreshing flavor among Hachioji ramen. During lunchtime, there may be a line, but if you adjust your timing slightly, you can surprisingly get in smoothly. I might have the opportunity to go back again.

Soup: It was slightly cloudy than expected! It was delicious but had a rich onion soup-like flavor. Noodles: They were finely cut. Onion: Very good when combined with the soup! Chashu: The chashu was tender. Menma: Very delicious!! One of the best! If I go next time, I would like to order with extra onions!
