IKEBUKURO: Lowly ranked Bankara Ramen... English!

Plan was to check out Muteki-Ya just on the same block but the line was sooo long... a very famous spot for Asians visiting from abroad.  http://www.mutekiya.com/

I went for the 650yen Ramen...

Pilot friend gave the Tsukemen a try...

Coupon for next time... might give the onsen tamago a go if I ever return... but highly unlikely.

Nothing special but open til 1am Mon-Sat... Friendly staff and relaxing interior. Japanese foodies ranked it a very low 3.00 points on Tabelog...
