"Afuri is a popular ramen chain with branches throughout the city in neighborhoods like Harajuku, Ebisu, Nakameguro, Roppongi, and Azabu-Juban. The signature bowl is chicken and dashi with yuzu shio , an aromatic citrus, and salt. Noodles are thin and straight, all the easier to slurp. After you’ve purchased your ticket from the vending machine, hand it over to the staff and they’ll ask if you want regular or extra fat. Afuri will also do limited-edition gentei (limited release) ramen, like a vegan or cold ramen in the summer."

I love how you can order from a “vending machine” style ordering system. Options are in Japanese and English. The atmosphere was amazing and love watching the kitchen cook! You print your ticket! And then give it to the waiter! Amazing, we loved it! And there was a small wait outside but worth the wait!

I’ve come here three times during my visit in Tokyo. Had their recommended broth and it was exactly what I wanted. It was delicious and it allows you to add a few extra toppings if you wish. They have a vegan option great for my friend who is vegetarian and he vouched it was delicious. Keep in mind around 1-2pm its peak hours and you can expect to wait 30 minutes if the line wraps around the corner. But the staff is very organized. Honestly such a light broth that after a few weeks in Japan I welcomed the lighter taste. And my tummy did too! :)

Very nice service and friendly staff. Food was ok, nice thin ramen noodles but you have to eat quickly or the noodles get soggy easily. Grilled pork rice was very nice and balanced with grated radish and pickles. Strong chargrilled flavour over the charcoal fire.

This is a new ramen concept, where yuzu is the main flavor highlight of this chain eatery. Once you taste that dash of refreshing yuzu in the broth/ dipping sauce, there's no going back. You would literally crave that taste profile every time you patron some other ramen place. I think I’ve peaked in my ramen journey.

One of the ramen places currently trending in Tokyo. I ordered three of the restaurant’s signature dishes: Yuzu Shio Ramen, Yuzu-tsuyu Tsukemen, and Aburi Koro Chashu Gohan. Out of these three, the tsukemen was my favorite because the dipping sauce provided had a unique, yet rich and refreshing flavor—a combination of chicken broth, soy sauce, and yuzu. The ramen had a fairly standard taste, with a broth that carried a slight hint of yuzu flavor and aroma. As for the gohan, the chashu meat was very delicious, tender, and juicy. However, the grated radish, one of the toppings, somewhat diminished the savory taste of the meat, making the overall flavor a bit toned down. The dining space is quite small and limited, so the queue outside the restaurant can be quite long. Extra patience is needed to wait for your turn to get inside the restaurant.

S+ [must try / 一定要吃到] · my favorite ramen place of all time in Tokyo!!! · the yuzu broth is light but flavorful (so refreshing compare to the endless pork bone/miso broth ramen) · the toppings is next level delicious (the charred cha-su is my favorite!) · average 20-30 min wait (inside have wait too) · next to the famous takeshita street (work out your legs and climb the steep hill) · also they were being filmed by a guy with big camera when I was eating (so popular o.o) · the only ramen restaurant I must eat again and again everytime I visit japan tldr: afuri is my #1 ramen ദ്ദി/ᐠ - ⩊ -マ.ᐟ

This ramen restaurant specializes in yuzu broth ramen. It’s definitely an acquired taste so make sure you are adventurous enough to try it. The store is about 5 to 10 minute walk from harajuku station and the shop can seat about 15 people. You have to pay in advance at the machine for your order. They usually have a combo deal for a ramen plus a braised pork rice bowl. The ramen flavor didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The noodles were good and chewy but I just wasn’t a huge fan of the broth. The rice bowl was good and filling.

This ramen shop, famous for its long online queues, is worth the wait. The yuzu ramen stands out with its unique aroma and flavor. For those who enjoy some heat, there’s a spicy option too. The char siu in the ramen and the char siu rice are both charcoal-grilled, making them incredibly satisfying. If you're shopping in Harajuku, it's definitely worth a try.
