About this place
Should you pair miso ramen with gyoza, or skip noodles and order a stamina rice bowl? At Enoken, choosing between several tempting options is part of the pleasure. Diners describe the signature miso ramen as easy to enjoy, with a good balance of vegetables and miso; adding butter and corn is another popular way to have it. Some say even the regular serving is generous. The menu also includes shio ramen with added chashu pork and tsukemen, served with the noodles and dipping broth separately.
Gyoza are available on their own or as a set meal. Diners have found them substantial, and some mention pairing them with miso sauce. They could make a good side for ramen, or take centre stage with rice. For a rice-based meal, consider the stamina donburi: reviews describe it as a hearty serving with plenty of pork and vegetables, and recall its sweet-and-savoury seasoning and a notable hit of pepper. Stamina ramen is described as a bowl topped with pork, garlic chives, onion and other ingredients. One diner enjoyed the combination of medium-thick noodles, a sweet-and-savoury broth and the texture of the vegetables—a satisfying option when you want a filling meal.
In hot weather, the summer-only hiyashi chuka is another option. Diners describe it as generously topped and filling; chilled ramen is also available as a separate dish. One person who tried it said the noodles were coated in a flavour reminiscent of Japanese-style sauce. In Minami-Asagaya, Enoken offers plenty to weigh up, whether you are in the mood for noodles or rice. It opens for lunch and dinner, and on weekdays and Saturdays stays open until 0:30 the following day. It is closed on Sundays, so check the operating days before setting out.
