I really enjoyed the fried sides and ramen here. There may be a wait and seating is limited, but the little restaurant is inside a shopping arcade, which isn’t too bad a place to wait. They take your order first so by the time your seat is ready, the food comes out relatively quickly. It’s a pretty efficient process.
Both the kara-age and fried octopus were freshly fried. The original style of kara-age was plenty crispy and the chicken inside was hot and juicy. It was delicious dipped in the garlic ponzu sauce. The fried octopus with chili peppers was crispy and chewy with a pleasant spiciness that lingers on the tongue.
As for the ramen, they use the curly chewy noodles I really like. The broth for the Shoyu 1910 had a fragrant soy sauce flavor that wasn’t too overpowering. The pork belly chashu was so tender it practically dissolved when eaten. The Karai Shoyu was satisfyingly spicy, but the broth was a bit too greasy to drink.
It’s been ages since I’ve visited Japan, but I imagine this is the kind of ramen they would serve there. For that extra authentic feeling, the servers here thank you loudly in Japanese when you’re leaving.

I can see why this shop is popular. The ramen and gyoza has more complex flavor than any other ramen place I’ve been to. I love new food experiences so I had a good time but I wish they had a take on tonkotsu. It was interesting to try Sapporo ramen for the first time since that is this shop’s specialty. I LOVED the pork gyoza with the dipping sauce though. We also smelled the grilled octopus and it smelled divine, I wish we ordered it.

Great place. They don’t do take out ok weekends. Make sure you come and be in the line using their website booking line. Was very frustrating to wait 10min to discover that you’d have to wait 50min to get seated. Be sure to be on the front desk guys neck so you get your seat, he works super hard but is difficult to keep track of the line order due to nature of the business. After seating in comfortably with 4 people + 1 baby, the experience was super great! It came super fast and the food was delicious! I had a soy ramen and my wife had the tan tan ramen. Very good ones btw!

A hidden gem tucked away in Coolidge Corner. Its first come first serve so come prepared to order and put your name in, then they seat you when your table is ready. We got the karai shoyu and the gankara miso ramen, plus some gyoza. The ramens were fantastic: just spicy enough and great portions. It’s a pretty no frills tiny space. Great for 2 people.

Such a great ramen location. Can be Very busy but its line will be indoors which is very nice. They have amazing ramen choices and the small dishes are very good.

Its a cute ramen joint in the arcade building. I love the authenticity of the flavor and the variety of it. Not overwhelming. The spicy one was just the right heat. My kids also loved it. It won’t accommodate large groups easily but they are really nice and will try. Was here for lunch and they were very busy but not lack of attention.

Best ramen spot I’ve been to since being stationed in Japan. Fast service, great atmosphere, and the food was incredible. I come here often with friends!!!

Great space with a nice vibe. Karaage was delicious. Ramen was disappointing. Noodles taste odd. And the broth isn’t balanced.

Ganko is a neighborhood gem! It’s great to have a local place that can actually serve good ramen. We’ve tried most of their ramen options and they are all fairly good. Broths have good flavor. Their ramen noodles is decent but lacks the chewiness that we prefer. However, still an overall good bowl of ramen. Their gyoza is solid.
The place is small and can feel a bit cramped but then is very much like the ramen places in Japan. It’s actually nice to get that feel. Service is friendly, fast and efficient. Pre-ordering is a great concept so your bowl of ramen can be delivered to you quickly after sitting down.

This place is always very busy so prepare to wait a while. The food comes out very quickly once you are seated – they have an efficient system to rapidly shuffle people in and out. The ramen itself is good but not amazing
