Machida Shoten Japanese Ramen - Vincom Landmark 81 - Ramen restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

The service was attentive, and the takeaway packaging was carefully prepared. The broth had a traditional rich sweetness simmered from bones, which was very authentic. However, the drinks were not particularly impressive and felt quite ordinary.

Been here twice now and both those times was delicious food 😋 The Ramen here delicious took spice misso it was good if u like spicy And a lot of flavors in the sup 😋 The gyoza delicious, the prawns amazing the chicken 😋 The mood here is also really cozy

Rich, creamy tonkotsu done right. From my experience, Machida Shoten branches have consistently performed. They serve a well-emulsified tonkotsu broth with a smooth, creamy body and a lingering pork-forward savouriness that isn’t overwhelming. I'd recommend adding garlic paste, chilli oil if you prefer a black garlic broth feel. The noodles are springy and absorb the soup well, while the rolled char siu pork is thick, tender, and juicy with a 1:4 fat-to-meat ratio. The panfried gyoza has crisp browning with lightly charred spots and a generously filled, well-seasoned interior. Best enjoyed with vinegar mixed with garlic paste to cut through the richness. At 208,000 VND for a mini tonkotsu ramen set with gyoza and a drink, it offers quite the appeal.

I was at this restaurant today. When I ordered a dish, I didn't realize the broth was chicken, but the meat was pork, and I don't eat pork. I thank the restaurant staff for their understanding and offering to remake the dish without pork. The soup was delicious! It's nice to see customers treated so well! I highly recommend it!
