We originally wanted to go to Creperie Alcyon for lunch, but after lining up for 15 minutes and not having the queue move at all, we decided to find something else, which is how we ended up at Mugen Ramen:
Rich beef bone ramen
You can customize your ramen after ordering your base bowl, so I chose the rich beef bone ramen with extra rich broth, extra char siu, sirloin beef slices, and a soft-boiled egg. I think this is the first time I've had beef bone-based broth, and it is EXCELLENT. It was the creamiest, most flavourful broth I have ever experienced. The noodles are thinner than standard ramen, but they cling better to the thick broth. The char siu was excellent (I ordered an extra 2 pieces), but the raw beef slices didn't cook enough even after sitting in the steaming hot broth for over 5 minutes, so the texture of the meat felt almost slimy with the rich broth. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but I would stick to the char siu here. Overall, though, a delicious, satisfying lunch, and shockingly, no line-up. Worth visiting if you're looking for ramen in Dotonbori. (Also, ignore the ratings on Google. The reviews for this location are being given to another location because this one isn't listed in English.)
