About this place
Hot scallion oil is poured over the bowl, and flames leap up. At Fire Ramen Menbaka, the signature fire ramen is a meal with a dramatic moment before the first bite. Diners who have experienced it report that staff explain how to film the display and help guests record it on their smartphones. Once the flames have drawn the eye, scallions remain prominent in the ramen itself: the aroma brought out by the oil spreads through the soy sauce-based broth. Reports describe a bowl that offers more than just a striking visual.
Sets let you build a meal around the ramen and add another dish. The classic “A5 Wagyu Beef Sushi Set” pairs pork fire ramen with 2 pieces of wagyu sushi; the “A5 Wagyu Beef Sushi & Gyoza Set” adds 5 gyoza. Choose a simpler meal centred on the ramen, or add sushi and gyoza for a more substantial spread. For diners avoiding pork, there are no-pork sets featuring halal-certified chicken and wagyu, with options that include gyoza or fried rice. Plant-based diners can choose vegan ramen and add vegan gyoza or fried rice. Gluten-free sets combine gluten-free ramen with options such as gyoza and wagyu sushi. The range makes it easier for people dining together to choose according to their own preferences and dietary requirements.
The compact dining room has both tables and counter seats. It can suit someone dining solo at the counter to watch the flame display, as well as a group sharing a set meal. Reservations are available, and booking is recommended for both lunch and dinner, so it is worth reserving ahead if you know when you plan to visit.
