The store is small, but the operation was smooth so I didn't feel like I waited too long. While waiting, you buy a meal ticket, get water, put it on a tray, wait in front of the register, and when your udon arrives, you sit at an open seat. The udon has a good texture and the broth is delicious. You can enjoy it fully, and when you finish eating, you leave the seat shortly after (not being rushed, but when you see the line outside...). It's not a place to linger.

Once again, I visited Oniyanma-san. I usually go for the tempura chicken udon, but today I chose the "Warm Tempura Udon with assorted tempura topping for 580 yen including tax." It came with one shrimp tempura, one sweet potato tempura, and one chicken tempura. For an extra 60 yen, you can upgrade to shrimp tempura in addition to the chicken tempura udon. The shrimp was plump and delicious! The soup was as tasty as ever. Thank you for another delicious meal today.

Oniyanma located in the basement of Shibuya Parco. I visited at 4 pm, which is a bit off from the usual meal times. During lunch hours, there is always a line of 15 people or more, but at 4 pm, I was able to enter almost immediately. Despite wanting to visit Oniyanma for a while, I finally had the chance to try it for the first time. I was surprised by the unexpectedly low price of 580 yen for the Cold Tempura Udon. The specialty seems to be the Chicken Tempura. Although I wasn't planning on having chicken tempura, it unexpectedly came with the Tempura Udon I ordered. The udon had just the right amount of chewiness, not too soft that it's hard to slurp. Among the various tempura, the chicken tempura was the most delicious. It was juicy, tender, and made me wonder if chicken tempura could be this tasty. For 580 yen in Shibuya, it was quite a generous serving with shrimp tempura, chicken tempura, and zucchini tempura. Good value for money, and I now understand why this place is highly rated. Itadakimasu!

There was an event for my favorite idol in Shibuya, so I finally went to Oniyanma-san! It was crowded in Shibuya Parco's basement on the weekend, but since Oniyanma-san has a fast turnover, I was able to get in within about 5 minutes! First, you buy a meal ticket, and they serve you udon when a seat opens up! The counter chairs were too high for me as a short person, but the udon at Oniyanma-san is so cost-effective in Shibuya, I don't think there's anywhere else like it! The chikuwa tempura was big, and there were two pieces of chicken tempura! The noodles were smooth and delicious! If you want to eat the most cost-effective udon, go to Oniyanma-san! Thank you for the meal!

Gotanda, Ningyocho, Higashi-Shinagawa, and Nakameguro are all popular udon restaurants. I visited on a Sunday at 1:00 PM. The weather was cloudy and cooler than usual, making it easier to walk, but there were fewer people on the streets on the way here. The underground restaurant area was crowded, possibly due to the recent typhoon warning about sudden thunderstorms. I waited in line behind three people at the ticket machine, but when the group in front of me left, I quickly got my ticket. I ordered the deluxe bukkake udon (with shrimp, chicken, and vegetable tempura) for 1000 yen. The tempura arrived first, followed by the udon, which made me think it might have been pre-made. I forgot to get water, so I had to go back to the counter to get some. The udon was tasty, with a light-colored broth for the bukkake style. The vegetable tempura was made with sweet potatoes, but I felt it was a bit lacking in vegetables. After finishing my meal, I returned the tray to the designated area. As I left Parco, it was raining heavily, confirming the accuracy of the weather forecast. Many people were running towards shelter, but I waited until the rain subsided a bit before leaving without using my umbrella.

I visited around 5:30 pm on a regular Wednesday. The restaurant was about 80% full, so I was lucky to be seated right away. I had the cold tori-chiku bukkake udon with an additional half-cooked egg tempura. The tempura may not have been freshly fried, but it was still delicious. The tori tempura was tender with a nice ginger flavor, and the chikuwa tempura was big and satisfying. I think the combo of tori tempura and chikuwa tempura was around 590 yen, which is a great deal. The udon had a good texture and the half-cooked egg tempura, although not exactly half-cooked, was tasty. Overall, I found a nice place where I could enjoy a quick and delicious meal. I'll definitely visit again when it's less crowded. Thank you for the meal!

This is a review of a famous udon restaurant at Shibuya PARCO in Tokyo. It is the cheapest restaurant in PARCO. I ordered kake udon with tempura of fried tofu and bamboo shoots on top. The tempura was delicious and hot, but the broth was lukewarm. I didn't realize that the temperature of the broth could affect the udon experience so much. Also, the udon itself lacked salt, which threw off the balance with the broth. I had high hopes for the Oniyanma brand, so I was a bit disappointed with the udon. Unfortunately, it seems like the Shibuya PARCO branch may be a miss...

I came back again, Oniyanma-san. I'm addicted. It was a hot day, so I chose the "Cold Toriten Bukkake for 520 yen including tax". It's perfect for summer with its cold, smooth texture. As delicious as ever, thank you for the meal.

I had been to Oniyanma in Gotanda before, and had been looking forward to visiting the one in Shibuya. The day finally came. Walking from Shibuya Station towards Harajuku, I came across a big street with Parco. The restaurant is located in the basement there. When Parco was renovated, a stylish floor with various shops was created in the basement, and the restaurant was located near the first entrance. The restaurant is long and narrow, so I wasn't sure where to enter and found myself wandering in front of the shop for a while. I realized that I should enter from the right side, and once inside, I saw the ticket machine right away. I quickly ordered tempura udon and an additional side of tempura as there was a line forming behind me. I felt rushed as I hadn't even looked at the menu yet! Once I got my order, I waited near the area where they were frying the tempura. When my udon and tempura were ready, I took the tray and moved further inside. The kitchen was long and narrow, with a counter stretching in front of it. I sat at an empty seat and started eating right away. The tempura was crispy and delicious even without any seasoning. The cold dipping sauce had a rich flavor and paired well with the chewy texture of the chilled udon. I savored each bite slowly. It was a delightful meal.

I arrived a bit late at 3 pm. It was a very hot day with no wind, so I naturally decided to have the bukkake udon. I bought a ticket for the special top-grade tempura udon for 850 yen, which includes shrimp, vegetables, and kashiwa tempura. I placed the udon on a tray and carried it to my seat. It was like a udon chain restaurant style. The tempura arrived in less than 5 minutes, and I first tried the shrimp tempura. The meat was firm and the batter was not greasy. The main udon had a good chewy texture and it mixed well with the soup, making it very easy to eat. The green bean and potato tempura were crispy, and the kashiwa was cooked well and tasty. For 850 yen, it was a reasonable price. There was a line at 3 pm, so the reason for its popularity might be this, I thought as I left the restaurant.

You can eat to your heart's content for 1000 yen, and the impressive system where the turnover rate is too fast even though there is a line. There is a line to buy food tickets, but people leave at a faster pace, so you can keep going in. I chose the meat on rice with a half-cooked egg, and it was incredibly delicious. The taste of the broth is also very good. It's easy to eat and the taste is truly amazing. They only accept cash and do not accept the new 500 yen coins, so be careful.

Heatwave. No appetite. In times like this, a cold udon with a smooth texture is perfect. I chose the "Cold Toriten Bukkake Udon Regular Size 520 yen including tax" at Oniyanma-san. The light broth and tender toriten are still a perfect harmony. Ah, it was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

I felt like having udon for lunch, so I went to the food court in Parco basement. I ordered the cold tempura udon for 700 yen. The thick and chewy udon noodles were topped with freshly fried shrimp, vegetables, and chicken tempura, making it very satisfying. I added some ginger from the table to enjoy a refreshing taste. Thank you for the meal! (●´ω｀●)

If you are a udon lover in the Kanto region, you have probably heard of "Oniyanma" at least once. I heard that they opened a new store in Shibuya PARCO a while ago, but I couldn't go, so I stopped by after attending an exhibition at Hikarie. Location and Crowds: I visited around 3 pm on a weekday. Since it's inside Shibuya PARCO, it's not a place you would drive to. There was no crowd and no line, so I could easily get in. Store System: There are high counter seats and low counter seats (located at the back), where you buy a meal ticket, self-serve water from the dispenser, get your food from the serving window, sit at an available seat to eat, return all the dishes to the return window, and then exit through the exit. It's a one-way system similar to Marugame and other Oniyanma stores. Food and Taste: I had the chilled toritenbukkake for 520 yen. The service is typical Oniyanma quality and very quick. The udon seemed to be pre-cooked. It was not too firm, not too soft, with a good chewy texture. The portion was satisfying for women with tempura toppings, but men might find it a bit small, so I recommend getting the large size. There was a good amount of green onions with a nice flavor. The broth was not too spicy or too sweet, with a strong dashi flavor that was just right, and it was easy to drink. I added freshly grated ginger (available on the table) halfway through, and it paired well, making it refreshing to drink. The udon noodles were perfectly coated with the broth. Special mention goes to the toriten. I've had toriten at other Oniyanma stores, but getting three large and delicious pieces for 520 yen in this location made me wonder if it was okay. The toriten was served hot and fresh, with a juicy and chewy texture, and the flavor of the chicken meat and the crispy batter was really delicious. The flavor was soy sauce-based, with a hint of pepper, and the taste was marinated rather than just seasoned on the batter. It was not heavy but had a strong flavor, and dipping it in the broth added a different deliciousness. Other Comments: I was worried about the skill of serving a regular portion for 520 yen in Shibuya PARCO. The noodles seemed slightly overcooked compared to other stores (Shinbashi, Higashi-Shinagawa, Nippori). However, considering the pre-cooked noodles and the taste, I was satisfied. The toriten had a consistent deliciousness, and the broth had a good balance of flavor, possibly made with bonito. It had a good taste without being too light or too strong. Is it really okay to serve this at 520 yen? This place is not suitable for a second date or a leisurely lunch or dinner in an atmospheric place, but if you want something tasty, quick, not greasy, affordable, and delicious, this place is highly recommended. There are not many Japanese restaurants in Shibuya that offer this level of quality at a similar price point. The taste is incredibly delicious, the service is quick, and the cost performance is too good. It's not a place to eat slowly, but if you want to eat something cheap, delicious, and satisfying, I highly recommend it. Note that some reviewers have criticized the staff's service, but this type of operation system is not designed for the staff to provide attentive service, so expecting overly polite service from the staff is asking too much. If you want polite service, I recommend other udon restaurants.

Got off to an early start on a Sunday to try out a new restaurant, but ended up seeking refuge from the scorching heat in Shibuya Parco. Noticed that this restaurant's branches in Tokyo have been featured in the "Top 100 Udon Restaurants," so decided to give it a try. Ordered the cold Tori Chikuwa Tempura Udon for 670 yen, with an additional 80 yen for a warm boiled egg topping. The tempura was crispy and delicious, and the udon noodles, although slightly softer than expected, had a flavorful broth. It was surprisingly affordable for a top-ranked restaurant. Will definitely come back to try their Oroshi Udon next time!

During my temporary return to Japan, I had plans at Shibuya Parco so I went for lunch at "Oniyanma" on the basement floor. I have been a big fan of "Oniyanma" since it was only in Gotanda! It feels like the most delicious udon in Tokyo to me. The basement of Shibuya Parco is incredibly crowded on Sundays, but surprisingly "Oniyanma" was empty. At "Oniyanma" Shibuya Parco, you buy tickets from a vending machine in advance. Is this a Japan-only system? I have never seen it in America at least. It's painful that only cash is accepted. I wish they would accept credit cards... looking from the perspective of a foreign tourist. As for the menu, oh my goodness, it's so cheap!!! I ordered the "Toriten Chikuwa Ten Bukkake" (580 yen) and added a half-cooked egg tempura (120 yen). The "Toriten Chikuwa Ten Bukkake" was shining and glossy, I love it so much♡:*♡:*♡:* It was so delicious!!! The tempura was also irresistible!!! Especially the chicken tempura!!! It's incredibly delicious✧ By the way, it's a counter-only shop, so be careful if you have small children with you!

I ordered the Deluxe Bukkake Donburi (large size)!! The large size was very voluminous and satisfying to eat. It was summer, so I wanted something cold to eat, and it was really good. There were various types of tempura, and among them, the shrimp tempura was delicious!

I visited at 3:00 pm on a weekday and was able to get in smoothly. It's nice to be able to eat for under 1,000 yen and quickly. I had the impression that there was more tempura than udon, but I wanted to enjoy the udon more. Next time, I want to get more udon! The noodles had a good texture and the flavor was delicious. It's easy to eat here, so I want to come back again. The tempura was a bit cold! Thank you for the meal.

In June 2023, there was a long line at the popular Gokumiya on the same underground floor, but here there were only 5 people in line. Even though there were empty seats inside the restaurant, people were waiting in line at the ticket machine, creating a strange situation. The two women at the front of the line seemed to be foreigners and were struggling with their order because they didn't speak English. Just when everyone was unsure of how to help, a man who could speak their language appeared, seeming like a tour guide. I was able to order safely after that. I ordered a safe option of warm udon with tempura chicken and fish cake topping for 590 yen. After pouring water into a cup and placing it on a tray, the freshly made udon was served promptly. The broth had a delicious umami flavor without being overpowering. The udon noodles were smooth and when I sprinkled a little shichimi spice, it added a nice touch to keep the flavor interesting. The time spent waiting in line felt longer than actually eating the udon, which I finished in no time. This place is perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I had some errands in Shibuya and stopped by here. This Oniyanma is located on the basement floor of PARCO. It's different from the other stores. You purchase tickets at the entrance ticket machine. I pressed the button for the cold noodle PARCO limited edition, wondering what it was. I was expecting something different, but it turned out to be chicken tempura with tartar sauce... The amount of tartar sauce was too much and it became a bit overwhelming. I think I prefer their regular menu. The interior of the restaurant is nice, but the space next to the counter seats is narrow and the chairs are high, making it a bit uncomfortable to sit.
