The best lamen I've had in São Paulo — an authentic Japanese experience without facing the craziness of Liberdade.

Everything is made in-house: sauces, noodles, seasonings... and it shows in the flavor.

The handmade noodles are perfect, and the broth is full of flavor.

Try the tantamen — you won't regret it.

There are vegan options too, and the choux dessert is great.

Dona Marli and her sister, who's the chef, make you feel right at home.

The best lamen in São Paulo isn't in Liberdade: it's in this little square, with an almost hidden storefront.
