Simmering multiple varieties of branded chicken with only water and blending several soy sauces—Ramenya Toy Box's signature is a crystal-clear shoyu ramen glistening with fragrant chicken oil. Bringing forward the rich umami of chicken while highlighting the sharp depth of soy sauce, it is praised as an exquisite bowl you will want to savor to the very last drop. The deluxe version features two styles of chashu (pork loin and pork belly), wontons, seasoned soft-boiled egg, and tender bamboo shoots, elevating satisfaction with both ingredient quality and generous volume. Pairing your bowl with seasoned rice cooked with chashu and fragrant ginger-infused soy sauce is another popular choice, while salt ramen with subtle Japanese dashi notes and ginger-infused miso ramen are also available. The shop offers only 8 L-shaped counter seats in a quiet setting with little conversation, allowing you to watch the chef slice each portion of chashu right before your eyes. Long lines often form before opening on weekends, but service is prompt, making it an ideal destination when you want to focus quietly on the flavor alone. Non-smoking throughout; cash only.
