Worth of value! 760yen came in big portion . Broth rich in soy sauce and pork bone . Topped with green onions and soaked noodles . It’s more 中華 style. Queuing needed: around 40mins at lunch .

Order a special and a gyoza . Shared with my wife at 1am. Portion is huge. Soup base is the normal salty type. Total 11,000 yen. Totally worth it.

Delicious shoyu with a lighter broth consistency than others I had in Japan. Makes a great breakfast . The place is full even at 7:00.

Best ramen in Kyoto and it has a vegetarian ramen ! Came here at midnight and there were only rich locals. Some doctors bought us some beers and we talked about life

Great houtou and the restaurant is really impressive. The houtou is huge, so share one if you aren’t very hungry or get a whole on to yourself for a large meal

I would like one of these ramen everyday at anytime!! The place is so authentic and u can understand easily that also the locals like this place!! Gnam gram!! So so good!!

Always people waiting in front of the ramen house. The shop is tiny so try to avoid the people to get less waiting. The regular size is enough for one person.

One of the best shoyu lamen I've ever had. Huge line tho had to wait for 45 min. Don't forget to ask for garlic !

Went there for breakfast , got the mini which was perfect for first thing in the am. More locals if you go early.

Great shoyu ramen - broth is hearty and flavoursome and noodles are well made. Worth the wait in the queue.

Absolutely would stop in again. Great place to pick up a bout of ramen after the long trek from Tokyo to Kyoto. Ask for double pork . ???? ????

You need to wait for a while to get in, but easily worth the wait. Fairly generous portions , and delicious! Got the special Ramen and loved it!

The ramen here is just amazing. For 850¥ you get a house special and portions are very big.

Authentic ramen . It is one of the best rated restaurants by the locals. Very very good

Basically it only comes with one flavours of diff sizes .. special = large , standard= regular, and mini. For those who commented that the noodle is salty , don't forget Japanese slrrp the noodle . ????

Just do it. Really great. Worth the line wait. They do have a vegetarian option .

ramen and dumplings . won't go very wrong. small restaurant , however the owner doesn't chase you off if you linger over your meal.

Special Noodle is cheap and authentic - ¥850. Queue up for it, you won't regret it.

Worth the wait. Delicious ramen , the line moves quickly, and the bar next door sells drinks to those in line

Go for the "super special" one, it's gastronomic party. Be careful it is very big and HOT.

30min wait outside around 7p in Feb. Delicious ramen inside. Special, standard or mini just means L, M, S. Standard is a good size.

Very delicious . Don't forget to put some garlic in ramen soup !

Had the special ramen . I think it's only special in how salty it is????????

The ramen here was so flavorful, worth the wait!!

The mini ramen is not that small! Get in line . It moves quick and is worth the wait.

Special ramen is too salty ! But the portion is very big and is worth the money!

Special ramen ???? tasty and a huge portion . We have been waiting for 30min at lunch time

Great noudle place, the portions are quite big so be carefull. Cheap & Local 

Honke Dai-ichi Asahi is a popular ramen restaurant serving Kyoto style ramen http://www.honke-daiichiasahi.com/

The "vegetarian " one definitely has meat in the broth

This noodle is spring and soup is tasty...compare with ichiran , this meat is a bit hard and soup is not bone soup

I didn't think it was that great. I found the broth decently salty but otherwise bland. Noodle texture was okay, and meat was dry.

Go for special noodles . It's the best with a bowl of rice .

Queues are totally worth it. Ask for garlic .

Excellent shoyu (soy sauce ) ramen . A true local haunt. 5/5

All locals, and open really early in the day. (We did breakfast ramen there.)

OPEN 5:00-26:00 Amazing!!!

the shoyu-est ramen ever. very salty , not too fatty. warning: HUGE portions with the special noodle !

Standard ramen is great!

35 - 40 person line took +/- 45 minutes. Rival tonkotsu ramen shop to Shinouku (next door).

definitely worth the wait!

Awesome ramen ! Worth the wait.

Open hours

Vegetarian ramen is available. Most food item is pork-based.

We got the special. It was delicious.

This was all the rave — but I thought it was just ok. 30 minute wait, large portions , efficient staff . But just okay.

Ramen , fast, medium size place

Great ramen !

Very good portion of ramen !!!!
