Best Dishes at Tokyo Ramen Kaika
Chuka Soba
RamenThe signature bowl features a niboshi-forward broth without additives, layered with charcoal-grilled chuck and low-temp thigh char siu. All bowls come with ajitama egg, menma, a wonton, and assorted greens. House-made noodles are curly and medium-thick, designed to carry the soup well.
Toro Niku Gohan
SidesFatty, braised pork served over rice as a side dish to accompany your ramen. Adds protein and richness to a lighter noodle order.
Ajitama Chuka Soba
RamenThe base is identical to the standard chuka soba, but comes with an additional ajitama (marinated soft-boiled egg) for depth. Perfect for those who want extra protein and the rich yolk to flavor the broth.
Special Dandan Noodles
RamenLayers meat miso, Chinese sesame paste, and chili oil for deep umami. The spice is controlled but present—reviewers note it has enough kick without overwhelming the complex flavors underneath. Comes with ground pork and greens.
