Bargorilla

A bar serving Jiro-style ramen is an unexpected draw at Bargorilla. Its signature Gorilla Ramen has suited diners looking for a substantial meal, with some opting for extra vegetables or an extra-large portion, while others have enjoyed it late at night with less fat. Diners have also noted that the vegetables come with kaeshi, a seasoning sauce, and that you can ask for more fat when ordering—options that let you tailor the bowl to your appetite.

The ramen is not all about Jiro-style intensity. Some diners found the soy sauce flavour prominent and the bowl easy to enjoy, while others were pleased with both the tsukemen and the regular ramen. Reviews also describe the chashu as house-made and note a hint of balsamic in the soup.

Shumai, gyoza and other dishes offer something to snack on alongside the ramen, as befits a bar. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available, so you could enjoy shumai and a drink before finishing with a bowl of ramen. Classical music or rock may be playing inside, too. Whether you drop in for a meal or want to spend the evening with music and drinks in a bar setting, there are different ways to enjoy the place.
