Yamaya

Diners have described Yamaya’s tanmen as having a light soup that lets the vegetables’ flavour come through, with a gentle saltiness that emerges as you eat. It is a simple, satisfying bowl for when you want to savour the vegetables with your noodles. The menu at this Morishita restaurant also includes miso ramen, tantanmen, yakisoba and tsukemen, among other noodle dishes.

For a more substantial meal, consider pairing fried rice with ramen. Some diners have said both came in satisfying portions rather than being reduced to half servings, while others praised the fried rice for its loose, fluffy texture. One visitor who ordered wontons noted that they were wrapped around the minced meat by hand, and described their smooth texture as a good match for the light soup. Whether you make noodles the main event, add fried rice or opt for wontons, there is room to choose according to your appetite and mood.

Beer and snacks are another option. The menu lists items such as Chinese-style tofu, cheese fish cake, fried tofu and edamame, making it worth a look when you fancy a light bite rather than a lunch of noodles or rice.
