Tengu

The broth brings together the deep richness of pork back fat floating across the bowl with a crisp, punchy shoyu seasoning, clinging readily to pliable thin noodles. Cut thick yet simmered until it nearly collapses when lifted with chopsticks, the chashu melts its sweet pork fat and savory depth directly into the soup for a deeply satisfying bowl. Another hallmark of Tengu is the generous basket of freshly chopped scallions brought to the table after ordering, allowing diners to heap on as much green crunch as they like.

While the standard Tengu Ramen is the mainstay, the chashu ramen is an obvious choice for those looking for a meatier meal. Pairing the noodles with free-refill white rice and topping each mouthful with broth-soaked slices of pork is a customary ritual here. The kitchen also offers a miso-based broth, pork kimchi, and dim sum selections such as shrimp siu mai and boiled dumplings, making it easy to tailor a meal to any craving.

Seating includes counter stools alongside regular tables and raised tatami seating, comfortably accommodating everyone from solo diners seeking a quick bite to groups lingering over a meal. The shop runs continuously from late morning until 24:00, making it a reliable spot for an off-peak lunch or a late-night fix. Payment is cash only, and because the parking spaces beside the building are somewhat tight, drivers will want to take extra care when pulling in.
