Ichimon
An intimate room with an aesthetic that evokes Tokyo, with a well-rated vegan option. Some longtime customers note the chashu portions and the starters have shrunk over time.
The small space creates a considerable wait, especially at night and on weekends

Without a doubt one of the best ramens I've tried — rich, well-defined, genuinely tasty flavors.
Ippai Ramen
A small spot in the Municipal Market, with staff that reinforce the Japanese ramen-ya atmosphere. Opinions on service are divided: praised for its speed, but criticized by several customers for pushing you to leave the table right after the meal.
Several customers report feeling pressured to leave the table quickly after finishing the meal, due to the high turnover

It was my first time and the hype makes total sense: it's the ramen with the best broth I've ever had.
Chō Lamens e Baos - Batel
A spot combining ramen, bao and sushi on a broad menu, with service praised by name (several servers cited). The shoyu broth is described as a bit salty by some customers, though most find the seasoning balanced.

The broth is rich and full of flavor — I got the shoyu and the miso and both won me over.
Fujii Cozinha Japonesa
Curator's note ramen is a secondary item on the menu
A generalist à la carte Japanese restaurant inside Curitiba's Municipal Market, where the ramen (tonkotsu and shoyu) is praised but is only part of the menu. Many consider the price high, though fair for the quality. The main caveat is the service, with recurring reports of delays and disorganization on busy days.
Inconsistent service: recurring complaints of delays, disorganization and too few servers at peak times.

I tried the lamen and it was delicious — honestly, everything was flawless, from the broth to the egg.
Oishi Ramen Bar
A spot tied to the city's tourist routes (Tour Curitiba), which brings a large volume of first-time visitors. Service is the most inconsistent point in the reviews, with reports of delays and disorganization on busier days.

I ordered the Chili Ramen and it was spectacular; the shoyu was great too.
Yujin Ramen Ya
A small, intimate spot with a counter overlooking the preparation, where customers watch the cooking and chat with the team. The limited output creates long, regular lines, treated by some customers as part of the experience and by others as the house's biggest obstacle.
A long, recurring wait (often 1 to 2 hours) due to the small space and the limited number of ramen made per day

The broth is on another level, I've never had anything like it.
