Next to the LDH headquarters, there is a town Chinese restaurant that is said to be a holy place among fans. Today was my first visit. It was midday but there were only 2 people waiting outside. It's not as crowded as I thought it would be. Outside, there is a Honda CT125 in khaki color waiting for deliveries, so this must be Naka-Meguro. Inside the restaurant, there are lots of signatures from LDH members! Impressive. But other than that, it seems like a typical town Chinese restaurant. As a beginner, I ordered the ramen and negi fried rice set for 1,000 yen. The kitchen seems to be run by just one person and they look very busy. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the food finally arrived. The ramen had thick curly noodles and the soup was a traditional soy sauce flavor. I like how simple it is. The fried rice was moist and had a nice salty taste that Japanese people would enjoy. Both dishes were surprisingly nostalgic and comforting. After finishing both, I was full! It seems like these dishes would be good for dancers like LDH members who use their bodies a lot. Next time, I'll try the famous curry ramen, tantanmen, and omurice. Thank you for the meal.

Visited a small shop with walls covered in signed color papers at 4:30 PM on Wednesday, September 13, 2023. The shop only had a counter. There was a sign saying no photography of the signed color papers, so I refrained from taking any pictures, but there were quite a lot of signatures. I ordered the curry ramen labeled as the most popular item, along with some gyoza. The gyoza was delicious, but the curry came with rice. There was no ticket machine, so I placed my order verbally and paid near the entrance/exit. The curry ramen was priced at ¥880 and the gyoza at ¥500.

Ikejiri Ohashi "Souraku" is a Chinese restaurant located between Ikejiri Ohashi and Naka-Meguro. The interior of the restaurant is filled with autographs of celebrities, reflecting the local atmosphere. I visited because I couldn't forget the taste of the curry ramen I used to order for takeout at work. Although they no longer offer takeout, the curry ramen still tasted delicious with its sweet seasoning and a perfect punch of spices that hits you later. #Ikejiri Ohashi #gourmet #foodie #foodporn #Instagrammable #Chinese restaurant #Souraku #curry ramen #foodlover #foodstagram #ramenlover #noodleporn

It was a slightly impure motive to visit because my favorite artist often comes here, but it was a very delicious and wonderful restaurant. I was surprised by the variety of menu options. I ordered the omurice and it was so beautifully shaped that I was mesmerized. I would love to visit again when I come to Nakameguro.

Located right in the middle between Naka-Meguro and Ikejiri Ohashi, this Chinese-style restaurant is filled with signatures of LDH artists. While their curry ramen is popular, I decided to go for the omurice this time. I was inspired by LDH artist Sho Watanabe who featured this dish on a TV show. Unlike the fluffy omurice trend, they serve a solid, homely omurice here. The simplicity of it is truly comforting. It's the kind of omurice that makes you feel at ease.

Soraku at Ikejiri Ohashi. Located between Ikejiri Ohashi and Nakameguro, this restaurant has a charming exterior that gives off a nostalgic vibe. The walls are covered with autographs from the members of EXILE, whose office is nearby, making it a must-visit spot for fans. I visited this restaurant because I was craving fried rice and dumplings. The dumplings were packed with vegetables and filled with hot soup, making them delicious but also a potential burn hazard. The fried rice was just the type I like, somewhere between moist and fluffy. It was also served piping hot. The flavors were so good that I can already feel myself craving them again. Thank you for the meal. Happy New Year! Wishing you a great year ahead.

A Chinese restaurant located about a 10-minute walk from Naka-Meguro Station and about 7 minutes from Ikejiri-Ohashi Station. The restaurant is popular, with many celebrity signatures inside, likely due to its proximity to LDH. However, it is relatively easy to get a table except during lunchtime, so no need to worry. While the restaurant specializes in Chinese cuisine, they also offer a wide variety of other dishes. The menu includes items such as pork cutlet bowl and ginger grilled set meal, ensuring a diverse selection. Today, I ordered the omurice, which was delicious. The slight hint of butter and the ketchup rice inside reminded me of homemade omurice. The portion size was also generous, making it a satisfying meal. They also offer set menus with fried chicken for those who need a bit more. Overall, all the dishes are tasty, making it a convenient choice for lunch when you can't decide. Thank you for the meal!

Curry Ramen ¥800. This was my first visit. The restaurant is located in the middle between Ikejiri-Ohashi and Naka-Meguro, a little off from the Yamanote Street across from Naka Don Quijote. Since both Yagumo and Hachido-Hachi were closed on this Tuesday, I decided to try this place that I had been curious about for a while. I was going to order a half portion of rice (¥150), but they offered a slightly smaller portion of rice as a service, so I accepted that. I also considered adding fried chicken or minced meat as toppings, but I wasn't as hungry as I thought, so I went with the classic option. The soup had a curry spice flavor, leaning towards Japanese style rather than Western. It felt like curry udon. With green onions and pork in the ingredients, it had a more Japanese and curry udon-like vibe. As I continued eating, I realized that it was truly curry ramen, but the balance of curry in the original soup was just right. It's not soup curry, but curry ramen (obviously, haha). By the way, some may know that there are LDH offices and studios near this restaurant, making this area their hometown. The walls are filled with autographed boards, mostly from LDH artists and actors. At that time, I saw two women pulling suitcases, probably on a "holy land pilgrimage."

LDH fans all know about this historic Chinese restaurant in the heart of Meguro! Established in 1969, this restaurant has been a staple in the community for over 50 years. It has become a sacred place for LDH fans because the LDH office is nearby, and the members themselves have been regulars here for a long time. The restaurant has been featured in TV shows, attracting fans who come on pilgrimages. When I visited, 90% of the customers were women, which surprised the few random men who walked in. The owners, a couple in their 40s, are also LDH fans and were chatting with a young female customer about the previous day's concert. It must feel cramped for non-fans... The menu item often ordered by LDH members is apparently the "Omelette Rice and Mini Tan Tan Noodles Set," which is not listed on the menu. You can probably ask for it if you want to try. I was in the mood for curry, so I ordered the "Chicken Cutlet Set with Curry Ramen." The curry ramen had a thick, flavorful broth, and the chicken cutlet had a nice crispy coating, but the chicken itself was thin and dry. When I dipped it in the curry ramen, it lost its crispiness and became less appealing. I'd like to try the omelette rice next time.

We ordered croquette set (large), yakitori fried rice, ramen set, spring rolls, and fried chicken for two people. Each dish was quite large in portion, and we ended up feeling very full. The fried foods were homemade and delicious! Many items were sold out, so we will definitely come back for a second try.

Good job! This is Ada Log. Lunch: - Curry Ramen & Fried Rice Set ¥1,000 (tax included) Located in Naka-Meguro, the local Chinese restaurant "Souraku" is a sight to behold with its walls lined with autographed color papers. Among them, you can spot signatures of talents from LDH, making it almost like a sacred place where you might run into them. The specialty here is the Curry Ramen, a perfect combination for those who love both curry and ramen. I ordered the Curry Ramen and Fried Rice set, which seemed like a fulfilling choice. The owner asked if the rice being freshly cooked and soft was okay, to which I confirmed. In addition to this set, there are many other enticing options on the menu. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes, and the Curry Ramen was a flavorful blend of Chinese soup and curry, with a hint of spiciness that made me sweat by the end. It was topped with plenty of tender leeks, pork, and carrots, served with medium-thick curly noodles. The Fried Rice, as requested, was quite soft and lightly seasoned. I ended up pouring the curry over it halfway through to finish it all. Although the Fried Rice was a bit disappointing, the condition of the rice might vary. This neighborhood Chinese restaurant is convenient with its all-day service, and I would definitely rely on it if it were nearby. I look forward to trying something else on the menu next time.

The place is a bit inconspicuous, but for some reason there were quite a few autographed color papers from celebrities. The interior of the restaurant only had a counter, sadly with transparent dividers due to the impact of COVID-19. I pondered for a few minutes whether to have noodles or a set meal, and finally decided on "Omelette Rice." It had been a few years since I last had omelette rice from a Chinese restaurant, and it tasted just like I remembered. I also noticed they had a rare dish called Curry Ramen that I'd like to try next time I visit. The restaurant is called Yangtze River in Onna, Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The Curry Ramen they serve was really delicious (although I think it's not available during lunch hours now). Thank you for the meal.

I became a lunch refugee after 2 pm and entered without high expectations. The curry ramen was delicious!!! The fried rice had quite a bit of salt and chemical seasoning, and it wasn't mixed well, which was disappointing. However, the speed and friendliness were good, so overall I was satisfied. I want to come back next time to try the omurice.

It's a sluggish Monday after the long weekend. It looks like there will be rain due to a typhoon starting tonight, so I wonder if it will be difficult to go for a walk tomorrow? I visited Meguro River and Meguro Street for the first time since the cherry blossoms in spring. I found a restaurant that I had never visited before and ordered the classic fried rice and ramen set from the menu posted on the wall, which was difficult to read due to my presbyopia. The restaurant was covered in EXILE autographs, giving it a local Chinese vibe. The fried rice was a bit mushy, but the ramen soup, although light, came together nicely with the fried rice. The noodles were a bit too firm for my liking. The soup had a strong ginger flavor, making it tasty as a local Chinese dish, but the firm noodles were disappointing.

Located right in the middle of Naka-Meguro and Ikejiri-Ohashi, this Chinese restaurant is known for its curry ramen. It may be a bit intimidating for a woman to enter alone due to its typical Chinese restaurant atmosphere, but let's gather the courage and give it a try. As expected from the backstreets of LDH, the walls are filled with signatures from Exile-related celebrities. I was thrilled to find a signature from former TOKIO member Nagase. The interior consists only of a counter with solid partitions. I had heard about the curry ramen, but was impressed by the variety of set meals available. From classic dishes like fried chicken, chicken cutlet, sweet and sour pork, and ginger pork to fried rice, ramen, and curry, there's something for everyone. The set meals are very generous in portion size, so I had to give up on my initial choice of the fried rice and curry ramen set and opted for half fried rice and half curry instead. The curry was very thin, almost like a soup, with onions and carrots giving it a home-cooked, mildly spicy flavor. While it didn't have any standout features, it felt nostalgic. Personally, I thought it went better with rice than with ramen. The fried rice was moist and had a sweet onion flavor, with a gentle Chinese dashi taste and not too salty. It was so delicious that I felt adding pepper would be unnecessary. Even though I ordered a half portion, the quantity was quite large and I left very satisfied. I was touched when they served the soy sauce soup on the side. They offered a variety of fried rice options like crab and mixed vegetables, which I would love to try in the future!

I went to Soryu in Naka-Meguro, so I decided to try their famous egg fried rice. It's about a 10-minute walk from the station, and there are many autographs from LDH artists since it's close by. I heard their curry ramen is a specialty, but I stuck with the egg fried rice this time. It was moist and delicious as always. Thank you for the meal!

Around 12:40, there were only two customers at the restaurant. After that, more and more customers came in, and it quickly became full with a waiting list. Lucky me! The fried pork fried rice was amazing! It was moist and incredibly delicious! Highly recommended!

Chinese restaurant in the street! I remembered this place from a previous work visit and decided to drop by for lunch on my way back from Daiwa. It's a bit of a walk from the station, just across from Starbucks Reserve on Yamate Street. The interior has only a counter with about a dozen seats, and the walls are covered with autographs of LDH Group and other celebrities. I didn't check the menu and ordered the daily special for 800 yen, which was half ramen and sweet and sour pork bowl. The ramen had medium thick curly noodles in a light soy sauce broth. It was delicious! The bowl had a well-balanced flavor, maybe a bit more ingredients would have been nice. They have various condiments and furikake on the table, which was a nice touch. I heard that the recommended dishes are fried food set meals and curry ramen. I might try the curry ramen and half fried rice set next time. Payment can be made with cash or PayPay. PayPay is really becoming more popular these days! Maybe soon we won't need to carry cash for visits to local Chinese restaurants or ramen shops?
