About this place
The Tateyama Set pairs soy sauce ramen with half a portion of fried rice, making it an option when noodles alone will not do. One diner reported that the ramen came topped with a spicy stir-fry of pork, garlic chives and bean sprouts, while the fried rice was generously studded with char siu. The menu identifies Tateyama as a soy sauce ramen, offering a different combination from ordering a bowl on its own.
Hot-and-sour noodles are another choice. One diner said the dish had made a different impression than before and felt more like hot-and-sour noodles. For extra heat, there is extremely spicy ramen; for familiar flavours, soy sauce or salt ramen; and for a more old-fashioned bowl, Shina soba. One review recalled enjoying the old-style ramen, while another diner who ordered a meat rice bowl with soy sauce ramen singled out the chewy texture of the medium-thick noodles.
There is more than one way to build a meal here: fried rice and rice bowls can take centre stage, rather than simply accompanying a bowl of noodles. A diner who visited at lunchtime ordered aubergine stir-fried with miso and rice, and reported that the meal also came with soup and pickles, making it something like a set meal.
For a meal built around noodles and side dishes, gyoza cost 3 pieces for 300 yen or 5 pieces for 450 yen; mapo tofu is 600 yen, and beer is also available. There are options for a solo bowl of noodles or a meal shared with a few small plates.
The dining room has a lodge-style look, and some diners note that its atmosphere has remained much the same over the years. Free parking is available, and listings also mention a children's menu and baby chairs.
