Enjoy Nishiikebukuro Park and visit this restaurant. Nothing can be better than eating perfectly cooked pork ramen, chashu and pork soup. The well-trained staff works hard, stays positive and makes this place wonderful. Visitors say that the service is prompt here. When you enter this place, you feel the pretty atmosphere. But google users haven't given Butayama a high rating.

Title: Late-Night Cravings Solved! Helpful Guide to "Ramen Butayama" in Ikebukuro. I visited "Ramen Butayama" near the Ikebukuro West Exit around 10:20 PM. Even at this late hour, it was highly popular, with a queue of about 5 people outside and 6 inside. How to Order & System: Buy a Ticket: As soon as you enter, purchase your ramen ticket from the vending machine first, then join the line. Customize Your Toppings: Right before your noodles are served, the staff will ask, "Ninniku iremasuka?" (Would you like garlic?). This is your cue to customize your toppings for free. You can adjust the amount of vegetables (from extra light to double extra), garlic, back fat, and flavor intensity (Kara-me for strong, Kara-kara for extra strong). There is a very helpful English-friendly chart above the counter, so don't worry about the unique ordering rules! Self-Service: Water and paper aprons are self-service. You can find the aprons right next to the water dispenser, which is great for protecting your clothes from the rich soup. It's a hearty, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying bowl of Jiro-style ramen. Highly recommended if you want a true, filling Japanese ramen experience! Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Ramen Butayama is a Jiro-inspired ramen shop. The cheapest bowl is now around 1,000 yen. I ordered a medium-sized portion, and on another visit I also tried the miso ramen. Hmm it wasn’t exactly unpleasant, but nor was it particularly impressive. To be honest, it doesn’t really feel worth paying over 1,000 yen. Meal type: Dinner Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
