A five-minute walk from Shibuya Station, tucked into a corner of Sakuragaoka, Renge no Gotoku is known for its pai kuat tantan men, recreated with the same taste by the former manager of a legendary restaurant that disappeared amid Shibuya's redevelopment. The soup combines the aroma of sesame with the richness of an animal-based broth, paired with pai kuat that is fried to order after each order is placed. The coating is said to be thin and crisp, keeping its crunchy texture even when soaked in the soup. With free rice and takana pickles on the table, diners can enjoy various ways of eating it, such as placing the freshly fried, salty pai kuat on the rice or pouring the soup over it for a rice-porridge style finish. Options like choosing your spice level or a chilled tantan men in summer are said to be enjoyed by repeat customers. The interior has only 16 counter seats, but it is bright, clean, and stylishly decorated like a cafe, with some saying it's easy for women dining alone to enter. The entire restaurant is non-smoking, and takeout is available, making it a reliable choice from a solo lunch to a late-night finish after drinks.
