About this place
One lunch recommendation at Ryukaen is yakisoba topped with shredded beef tendon and vegetables in a thick sauce. A diner who ordered it described tender, slow-cooked beef tendon in the vegetable sauce, with contrasting textures from the browned noodles and the parts softened by the topping. They also remembered scooping up the sauce left in the bowl after eating the other ingredients.
For another kind of noodle dish, the dandan noodles can be ordered with hand-cut noodles. One lunchtime diner described a spicy, Sichuan-peppercorn-seasoned broth topped not with minced meat but with braised pork belly flavoured with star anise. Another diner noted a choice between thinner Chinese noodles and thicker hand-cut noodles, making it possible to suit the dish to your preferred texture.
The lunch menu includes set meals and noodle dishes. Reviewers have also mentioned helping themselves to salad, soup and a daily side dish. For a meal to share, one diner praised the mapo tofu served in an iron pot; another enjoyed the vegetables and pork in the twice-cooked pork set meal with rice.
