Jokempo Ramen & Obento Shop
Tonkotsu. Spacious and modern, in Vila Olímpia · 1,543 reviews on Google
A spacious spot specialized in ramen and obento in Vila Olímpia, with much-mentioned personal service (names like Danilo and Italo). Recent reviews note delays from prioritizing delivery/iFood orders at peak times.
A seasoned, full-bodied broth, compared favorably to more traditional houses in Liberdade and the Paulista area.

One of the best in São Paulo — it easily goes toe to toe with the famous ones in Liberdade.

Extremely tasty broth, noodles cooked just right and juicy toppings.

A striking flavor and a balance few ramen shops pull off.
-
I really liked the tantanmen; and for a topping I recommend the pork belly.

The gyoza is delicious and a good size; the karaage comes out nice and crispy.

I had the tonkotsu miso and it was divine — generously served and at a fair price.

There are obento too: the salmon one is my favorite, and the tonkatsu is great.
-
Sitting at the counter and watching the cooks is a lovely, very calm experience.

Impeccable service, polite staff who greet you in Japanese on the way in and out.

There's a flawless vegetarian option — just expect a line sometimes to get in.

Slow service at peak times, attributed by customers to prioritizing iFood orders over people seated in the dining room
