Ramen Beast

Found so many ramen spots I would never have known about without this app and their ratings are on point. Kikanbo is the GOAT

This app is great for mainland Japan. But there’s nothing listed for Shikoku.

This app is an amazing resource for the best ramen and food in Japan. I was lucky enough to use this app while traveling in Japan for a month and it made the trip so much fun and more delicious. Felt like a wild goose chase a times finding the spots which was so fun. I love this app, ramen, and Japan. Thank you ramen beast!!!

Missing all of the ramen shops in some areas. Poor coverage

This app was amazing for our trip to Japan. But, now that we’re back stateside I wish I could add local shops to the map! There’s a ton of ramen shops around where I live and I would love to share them!

I love this app. I lived in Japan for six years and found this app during my last year there. It exposed me to numerous ramen shops that I had no idea about. The top ten lists are awesome and make it easy to find interesting shops to visit. This is a must have app if you are visiting Japan and are crazy about ramen.

I downloaded this app after seeing the creator featured in one of the Facebook pages I am following. It has steadily improved and has covered ramen shops outside of Tokyo as well. I visited a ramen restaurant near Sagamino Station in Kanagawa called Hokkaido Ramen Denmaru and it isn’t there. I’m not surprised, since the creator did mention that this is a one-man project, if I remember correctly. Covering ALL the shops in Japan will take years and a lot of money. I guess he needs to add a link or button that will allow us to add restaurants not included in here and rate it ourselves. Make it like the Yelp for ramen, you know what I mean? However, please be aware and read the app description before downloading, this app is intended for foreigners who are living in Japan. If you’re in the States, Yelp is your best bet.

Love the concept, but I’m a little perplexed. I’m in NYC, surrounded by ramen, and there isn’t a single blip on the map. Did I miss something? Is this app complete? Is it just for Japan?

Fantastic app, a must have resource for anyone visiting Tokyo and even if you are not, a very fun read.
