What to Order
Signature Clam Mild Shio Ramen
This ramen features a unique clam-based broth that is surprisingly rich and flavorful, even for those who aren't typically seafood fans. It's a lighter option compared to creamy tonkotsu, allowing you to finish every last drop.
"While I've tried a few different ramen at Konjiki, I always find myself going back to the signature clam mild shio ramen. Now it's the only ramen I order here because it's so good. It's basically the only ramen that I can finish everything, even the soup to the very last drop."
Kenneth Tran
Wagyu Ramen
A luxurious ramen option featuring tender Wagyu beef in a clear beef and chicken soup base. The noodles have a satisfying bite, and the overall flavor is rich and deeply satisfying.
"I ordered the Wagyu Ramen, which came with a decent portion of beef and noodles with a satisfying bite. The broth has good depth of flavor, though it leans clear rather than rich and thick-bodied - something to know if you prefer a heavier broth."

Original Shoyu Tonkatsu Ramen
A classic pork bone ramen with a rich, not-too-thick broth and perfectly cooked thin noodles. The chashu is sous-vide for a unique, tender texture.
"The pork bone soup base was very rich, not too thick compared to other ramen places. The thin noodles were just right and not overly soft or hard, the way it would be in other Tokyo ramen stores we've been to."

Deep Fried King Mushroom
Thinly sliced king oyster mushrooms are deep-fried to a crisp, chip-like texture, offering a surprisingly delightful and addictive appetizer.
"The Deep Fried King Mushroom was took us by surprise as the thinly sliced mushroom felt like chips."
Carol F
Chicken Karaage
Crispy fried chicken served with Japanese mustard mayo, a delicious and satisfying appetizer that complements the ramen well.
"Lastly, we tried their delicious chicken karaage which came with 5 pieces of fried chicken with Japanese mustard (karashi) mayo on the side."

Inside Scoop
- The restaurant is easily missed; look for the stairs with banners noting awards and achievements.
- It gets busy after 5:30 PM, and there can be a tempura backlog around 6:30 PM, so patience is key.
- The interior is designed to feel like you've "teleported back to Tokyo" with its lack of windows and authentic decor.
- Be aware that add-ons like eggs might not have their price mentioned upfront by staff.
- The two-top tables along the wall can feel a bit cramped, offering minimal privacy.
