Menya Itto is a celebrated restaurant in Shin-Koiwa, Tokyo, that is famed for its tsukemen. Directly translated as “dipping ramen,” tsukemen is eaten by dipping cold noodles into a separate bowl of hot broth.

Considered by many to be the most famous ramen restaurant in Japan, Menya Itto has opened shops in Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan. According to an article posted on Vancouver is Awesome website on September 4, they have revealed plans to expand to Vancouver — 1479 Robson Street, to be exact. It is reported that the restaurant was hoping to open this summer; however, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Vancouver noodle fans will have to wait a bit longer.
