Recently a new ramen restaurant opened in my neighborhood and there are lines out the door so I think it must be good! I’m new to eating ramen but want to get more into it. What should I order off this menu?
No dietary restrictions and no food dislikes. All suggestions are welcome!

Original. Start with the base before you start adding the kitchen sink.
I’d go original. Start there and branch out from there
That add-on pricing is ridiculous. $1.75 for an egg?! Original with egg
“Can I get the Original Ramen and add ajitama? That’s it thanks.”
Thank me later
Original or Black, and get the soft boiled egg. In fact, it’s a minor crime that it’s not included in the base dish.
black ramen if u like garlic
You walk out the door and go to Betsutenjin (ideally) or Ooink (if mala/szechuan spice sounds great to you). Unless you specifically want tsukemen, the ramen at Menya Musashi is strictly inferior to either place. Don’t bother with Danbo btw, the quality is about the same as Betsutenjin except you have to wait hours to get in.
Yikes
I’d like to try the Hybrid Ramen, the Tsukemen and the Tantanmen.
Spicy curry
Oooh Menya Musashi is my favorite
For a first time, I’d always recommend what your closest restaurant markets as their original. Get a feel for what a good old fashioned bowl of ramen is like. If you love the taste of garlic, black garlic sounds incredible. It is aged so it is a super heavy garlic flavor. Also you gotta get the egg. It just doesn’t hit the same without that soft boiled egg.
Original. It can’t go wrong if you never had it before
I would go with spicy miso (my own spicy miso ramen attemlpta have been amazing) or black ramen (black garlic oil is also amazing, I like to add toasted sesame oil and a nice chili crisp to mine).
Also,1000% soft boiled egg. I marinate mine but even if they don’t super delicious.
Don’t businesses have to accept cash as legal tender? Did something change?
This place (Menya) is a tsukemen place, so you should get the tsukemen. I like the hybrid.
ALL OF THEM! Lol, just start with the original and go with what you think you’d like. Then explore. 😃
Where the hell is this restaurant I LOVE ramen.
Original plus egg and 3 piece karaage.
I can’t eat pork guess I’ll go home
I would suggest go with Tonkotsu based Black ramen. And always remember, the first thing you must do when they serve your ramen is to taste the broth. That first sip is always heaven!
Original, personally I’d do black and ask for a side of either miso broth or curry broth to mix in once you get the hang of it
Original
The spicy miso Ramen is 🔥 also make sure you have protein, veggies, and don’t forget to try the broth first.
Try the hybrid or the original.
Also get a small rice bowl.
That’s what I usually get.
Check out my profile posts and you night get an idea of what your getting into.
Red ramen, green onion, seaweed
Is this Menya? I’ve been to this in Seattle and I really liked the hybrid tsukemen (cold) with an egg
Are you planning in returning to this shop if it’s good? If yes, I would get the original so you can get their style. If no, just get anything that sounds interesting for you mate lol
Deluxe Charshu Don as I’m not a fan of tonkatsu soup as the base. It’s just too damn heavy, sue me as I learned about ramen in Tokyo some 3 decades ago. Hence my preference for a clear, less fatty soup. 😉
Or any of the curry bowls.
Damn OP, its time for bed and now I’m hungry!
i’m digging this menu style. i love spicy miso
Original (Tonkotsu) 100%
I’d start with Miso.
Original, add ajitama and one piece of chashu.
I’m a little disappointed to see that every single bowl is Tonkotsu…. There is so much more out there than that.
After that, I would probably go for Black, or Miso
Man that black ramen sounds really good, I’d probably pick original ramen though if you don’t know what to pick
