Chinese Noodle Shop Kiraku

Just 8-minutes by foot from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station and perched in the retro Shibuya Hyakkendana shopping district you’ll find this beloved neighborhood Chinese restaurant that has been serving customers for over 70 years. Locals and the savviest of travelers love and know this shop for its noodles, thanks to the jaw-dropping number of some 400 bowls of noodles sold each day.

The specialty here is the "Chuka Men" dished up with a robust soy sauce-based broth and aromatic fried green onions, all served with straight, thick noodles, hefty slices of char siu pork, bean sprouts and a boiled egg for a meal that’s sure to fill you up.

For even more tasty delights try ordering the Moyashi Wonton Men, packed with six homemade wontons and a mix of stir-fried bean sprouts, carrots, and leeks, offering a taste of nostalgic Taiwanese-style ramen.

Beyond noodles, the menu includes a variety of dishes such as fried rice, Chinese rice bowls, dumplings, and stir-fries. Adding rice and Chinese soup to a main dish stir-fries promises a full and complete meal.

Despite its popularity, which often results in a queue, the restaurant's quick service means a wait of around 10 minutes for parties of about five people, making it a must-visit for anyone craving Chinese food in Shibuya.
