Ramen Hayashida Otakanomori らぁ麺 はやし田 おおたかの森店

Good food court ramen option

In between appointments and the gates of the Tobu and Tsukuba Express lines at Nagareyama Ootakanomori, the food court near the gates is an option. I was craving a bowl of ramen, so I ordered tsukemen at the Hayashida counter. Staff are polite and service is fast. The noodles were a little sticky but satisfyingly al dente and topped with two slices each of menma and pork. The pork didn't appear to be chashu but thick poached pieces. The broth was light and full of umami. The smartphone payment system offers a points app.
