Eisui

If you’re choosing noodles at Eisui, the ankake yakisoba is a natural place to start. One lunchtime diner recalled a generous serving, piled with toppings and thick sauce, that was pleasantly mild in salt and surprisingly easy to finish. It’s a good choice when you want the sauce to cling to the noodles; other yakisoba options include sauce yakisoba and crispy-fried kata yakisoba. The same diner found the shumai on the small side. Served in a 4-piece portion, they could be an easy extra to add alongside the noodles.

For a combination of noodles and rice, the ramen-and-fried-rice set is a lunchtime option. One diner described the ramen as having a gentle, nostalgic flavour and said the fried rice was especially to their taste. The daily lunch sets also pair ramen with mini curry, mini chūkadon or mini tenshindon. Several combinations are listed at 900 yen, making it easy to choose a set with both noodles and a rice dish.

Fried rice can also take centre stage, with gyoza on the side. A diner who ordered both found the fried rice reliably satisfying and noted how well it went with the strongly flavoured Chinese soup. The gyoza, meanwhile, were described as soft and juicy rather than crisp. Choose fried rice on its own, pair it with noodles or add gyoza, depending on your appetite and mood.

Among the noodle dishes, one diner praised the way the thin noodles complemented the thick, rich broth of the Cantonese-style men. The menu also includes tanmen with simmered vegetables, miso ramen and wonton ramen—options for those looking for a bowl with a more substantial broth or toppings.

There are choices beyond the lunch sets, too: in the evening, you can pair a meal with beer, sake or shōchū. Eisui is in Daizawa Yonchōme and is listed as open in two daily sessions, with Thursdays and Sundays off.
