Gonokami Seisakujo in Sendagaya

This resturant was recommended to us by someone local for the Tsukemen style ramen (dipping ramen). Upon arriving, I'm sure there will more than likely be a line waiting outside the resturant because it is amazing! You'll need to go inside and purchase a ticket on the machine inside to the left. Once you purchase your ticket, return outside and get back in line. A waiter/waitress will come to you in line and take your tickets (order) from you. We both had the prawn broth Tsukemen ramen. I ordered the small (which was absolutely plenty of ramen!!!) and my husband got the medium (which he later regretted because the small was Plenty! Lol). Loved the food and the service was really quick. Great place!

Outstanding, the tomato shrimp with pesto tossed noodles is something completely refreshing. The basic shrimp is pretty good too but too similar to southeast Asian shrimp type noodles to excite me much.Prices are exceedingly affordable with good portion sizes. Unlike other ramen noodles, these tsukemen noodles are thicker and more chewy, and do not have the heavy alkaline taste which is a big plus.Be prepared to wait 20min or longer. Do not come too late as they will be sold out before closing time.

Quality was on point, but if you don't love shrimp don't bother coming

One hour queuing but it is worth! Great ramen with shrimp flavor - nice service, good noodles.

Only in Tokyo where gem like this, in a spot not so obvious can have long lines outside. Darn technology! Excellent shrimp-based tsukemen. Went in Summer and tried the special tomato-shrimp flavor. Comes with a dollop of textbook pesto sauce and a crusty bread. Man this place rocks!

Tried miso shrimp tsukemen. Came around 5 and it was pretty empty. I'm actually not a big fan of fish based broth but this place was rather unique and impressive. The broth sticks really well to the noodle and I finished the soup without drinking a sip. Usually get extra noodles cuz I eat quite a bit but there was no need for this place. Normal NAMI size was enough. Definitely worth checking out of you're around the hood for the first time or traveling.

Excellent small restaurant close to takashimaya department store. Their lobster ramen is excellent taste. Price reasonable. But need to line up early outside with no concert. Therefore if rain, need to bring umbrella. A little hard to find in a small alley across from a school and park.

Interesting to have a shrimp Tsukemen. The noodles were made just for the soup and it tasted wonderful!

The broth sticks really well to the noodle. Didn't have to drink any to finish it. Worth checking out.

Excellent noodle bar that serves shrimp-based broth that freshly made noodles are dipped in (and they offer bibs for keeping clean). One can get the basic version or add soft boiled egg, extra smoked meat or miso. For a 1000 yen the portion size is very generous. There was a moderate queue outside the small place (sits about 12 people) on a Wednesday evening around 8pm. Servers don't speak much English but you order from a machine that has English signage on it. I found the broth slightly salty but still very satisfying.

The noodles are firm and chewy, small portion (180g) is sufficient for girls and if you order small portion, you can get egg/cheese/bamboo for free so it's very considerate for them! I can't really taste the shrimp flavor in the soup. There is chicken and pork and bamboo inside the soup so it's good value for money at 800 yen. However, overall I feel the soup is too salty so I only drank 2 mouthful and left a big portion behind. No queue at weekdays 530 but they need ~15 mins to prepare after you placed your order

Almost missed the street leading to this place, as it looked like a back lane from the main street, until we checked with a friendly shop staff. Then we saw a queue of about 6 people outside the shop at 5.30pm. First time having dipping ramen and was blown away by the rich prawn based gravy with tomato base, excellent ramen with pesto and a torched crispy slice of French loaf. The ticket vending machine has English words and a young lady staff spoke well to guide our ordering of the best 3 options : Original Prawn, Miso/prawn and tomato/prawn. Will definitely be back when we return to Tokyo!

A must try if you’re a fan of prawn flavoured dishes. Everyone that I’ve recommended to this place has been blown away and are returning customers. Absolutely delicious and great value.

Had their standard order, it was super delicious. Not as shrimp flavored as I thought it would be, but the noodles were a good texture and quality for my tastes, and the broth was very rich.Would definitely head back with a bigger stomach!

Delicious ramen with rich tomato and shrimp soup base. Surprised the basil pesto fits well.

Very unique and delicious Japanese Italian inspired ramen! I got the shrimp tomato ramen and it was very tasty. It is quite popular so expect a wait. But I do think it was a little too salty for my taste. Also the dish gets cold too quickly because from the beginning the soup is not hot enough. Overall, super tasty and definitely worth trying at least once. And it’s very filling.

A totally unique and delicious take on ramen. The noodles are served cold and separate from a thick dipping broth. The portions are easily enough to satisfy anyone.

I think the Tomato Shrimp is the best. Portion is huge, a small portion should be more than enough for the average male.Though I wish the temperature of the broth is warmer.Also queue up first. Only when the person in front of you proceed inside to buy the food tickets and came back, then do the same.

The tomato ebi was great, so was the miso. Showrunner spoke English well. Vending machine has English as well. Note for non-Japanese readers, buy the tickets from the vending machine first, then wait in line.

The queue is always about 30 minutes but it’s well worth the wait if you like chewy noodles and a good shrimp broth!

Good food, but staff is not very friendly.

It was raining and There was a bit of wait when we got there. It was well worth the wait however. The cold-ish noodles with the piping hot, salty and full of flavor tsukemen broth was perfect on a rainy day. Straight forward order with the machine which, if memory serves me right, also featured English writing. I would suggest going early to avoid the lineup.

Really tasty noodles with strong shrimp flavor.

Got there around 5:30pm, walked right no waiting. Ordered the tomato shrimp and it was fantastic, only bad thing is that it gets cold very fast so eat it quickly . No complaints for the staff and service, they were fantastic with us. Will be going back for sure when I’m back in Japan.

The place has the best noodles the tomato and basil is the best

awful place, extremely unpolite staff!!. not recommended at all!!. business only oriented in getting money, not to please customers. undeserved rating!👎👎👎

Very interesting tsukemen! I ordered the tomato & shrimp broth one, the noodles come with pesto genovese, it made for a delicious explosion of flavor!

One hour queuing but it is worth! Great ramen with shrimp flavor - nice service, good noodles.

I queued for 1 hour after finding this place on a whim. the waitress comes out to take your order while you are still in the queue and subsequently you have to go inside and pay for your meal using a vending machine. so when you finally get seated your meals are brought to you within a couple of minutes, it's all terribly efficient. Let me just say that this is hands down the best tsukemen I have ever had!! So worth the wait and highly recommended!!

Great I had tried it!!!! I read some comments and wonder should I give a try considering it’s not easy to know which ramen is better than others. I am glad I tried this- noodle texture is amazing . Perfect for tsukemen . The cooked the noodles when u ordered then put the bowl in ice cold water ( noodles didn’t touch the water ) to keep the texture . Really great- they cook the broth with the pork after you order so even the pork texture is so good. It won’t be chewy. The soup is definitely amazing !! I came in a weekday afternoon tea time so no queue . Worth visit for sure !

Glad to have found this via google maps. We tried the shrimp broth and shrimp miso broth. Each person must order a bowl. So full! 👍👍👍

Good, but they had a strange attitude which isn't a representation of Japan in general.

Excellent! Thick, rich tsukemen with a shrimp twist that makes for a unique flavor.

My friend took me here. I was a bit hesitant because he said there is always a line (I don't like waiting too long) but he said the wait is worth it. We waited about 45 minutes which went by quick enough. At about number 20 in line you go and put your order in (there's a machine inside which my friend food for us) then you come back to your place in line. Inside, the place is kind of small maybe 20 seats all at a counter. It's actually tsukemen so the noodles are a big portion and the soup, so thick and rich. You can really taste the shrimp in the soup it sticks nicely to the perfectly cooked noodles. I'd go back....

Delicious ramen with rich tomato and shrimp soup base. Surprised the basil pesto fits well.

Ordered the Shrimp Tomato Tsukemen(1150yen). The soup base tasted more tomato-y than shrimp. Personally would have loved a stronger shrimp flavour. Will order the normal Shrimp the next time. Noodles are also chewy and firm to the bite. Nonethes, it is still a very good Tsukemen.

Worth waiting, very very delicious especially shrimp base soup with eggs and mozzarella cheese 😋FYI : there are 3 soup options; original shrimp soup, tomato shrimp soup (come with pesto sauce and bread) and miso shrimp soup. Noodle comes in small or medium portion. Variety of topping from egg, cheese, seaweed, bamboo shoot, meat etc.

Quality was on point, but if you don't love shrimp don't bother coming
