Naruto Ramen

Tonkotsu | Shoyu. Intimate, themed (tokusatsu/Godzilla), in Pinheiros · 235 reviews on Google

A tiny restaurant in Pinheiros, run by owner John, with few tables and often no reservations: get there early to skip the wait. A higher price than the city's average ramen house is the main caveat.

The highlight

Traditional, carefully made ramen in a small, intimate space decorated with references to Godzilla and tokusatsu films.

I've never had a chicken katsu so carefully made and tasty; the ramen was impeccable too, full of flavor.
They brought more than six kinds of pepper to add after it's served — I loved it, and the noodles are quality and cooked right.
An intimate, quiet, cozy place for just a few people; I really recommend the tonkotsu ramen.
The gyoza is excellent, and the decor is fun, with Ultraman, Godzilla and other characters.
I've been to Japan and tried the ramen there; the one here is just as good.
The owner, John, is a sensei who lived in Japan — he and his assistant make a killer duo.
We were even surprised by a homemade la-yu, really good, made by the chef himself.
The lamen is on another level, probably the best I've tried in São Paulo — the broth is everything.
The house iced tea is a must, absolutely sensational.
The service is warm and welcoming, and the quality stayed impeccable every time I went.
