Tamashii Ramen
Shoyu. Contemporary and busy, counter with an open kitchen, in Pinheiros · 1,409 reviews on Google
In Pinheiros, it's one of the most hyped spots in the city, always with a line and tightly packed tables. The recurring weak point isn't the food but the service at the front desk: several customers report rude or confusing treatment from the hosts managing the line and the tables.
Considered by many customers the best ramen in São Paulo, with a dense, umami-packed broth and handmade noodles praised unanimously.

The shoyu ramen is super tasty, well served, with a perfectly seasoned broth and great noodle texture.
-
After so many lamens in São Paulo, my favorite is the shoyu paitan — a dense broth, sensational toppings and the best egg.
-
My favorite in the world is the yuzu lamen; I went to Japan and didn't have a better one. Great for those who like something lighter.
-
The miso habanero is one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had.
-
The noodles are made in-house and, in my opinion, the best in São Paulo.
-
The gyoza is light and full of flavor, great with the shoyu sauce and the chili.
-
The ramen burger is a must: it gets crispy just right, with well-seasoned meat.
-
I really recommend the tsukemen, smooth and with a rich broth that isn't greasy, and the egg cooked just right.
-
Don't skip the curry, delicious and homey, with potato and carrot.
-
There's a tasty vegetarian option, and the mugicha-and-yuzu tea is a revelation.
