Touted as Tokyo's #1 best rated ramen restaurant according to their website, this Tokyo style ramen house in Bangkok had a lot to live up to. @menyaitto was founded by Yukihiko Sakamoto in Shinkoiwa, Tokyo. Sakamoto philosophy was to create a lighter, yet intense tasting bowl of ramen with a balanced taste of land and sea.
Menya Itto Bangkok @menyaittobkk follows Sakamoto san's teachings and and it appears, although never experiencing its original, they've done a smashing job at achieving the height of delicacy marrying with strong tastes.
Forget your hyper mall ramens, here they produce Tonkotsu Gyokai with Mentaiko Ramen (290 THB) so thick and flavoursome, your entire mouth feels annihilated by the potent memory of seafood and smoky pork aroma. At first quite shocking once it hits but a favourable experience nonetheless.
Our favourite, and a lot milder to manage was the Clam Shoyu ramen (230 THB) with Porcini oil and Barrel Aged Shoyu. The Shoyu broth was indeed one of the the keys that unlocked the many secrets to why Ramen is such a phenomenally popular dish universally, at least it did it for us.
Still. Keep in mind they are limited daily and at that price is understandable they would sell out on most days. If you do miss out or require more, try their Gyoza and home smoked Pastrami Chashu.
