Mazesoba in Naritaya Asakusa by Aprillia Suandi
Review on Halal Navi :
"Located in Asakusa, a famous tourist soot in Tokyo, Naritaya is often fully occupied during weekends. It is worth waiting for, although I prefer to go there in weekdays to avoid the crowd😁 Among all the menus, my favourite is mazesoba, noodle with no soup, and karaage, the japanese style friend chicken. The price is very affordable too. And, they also provide praying space. But what I love the most from Naritaya is the ice cream! It's rice ice ream with soy milk and available in three flavours: vanilla, azuki (red beans), and kodaimai (Japanese ancient rice). Wish it is sold in Japanese supermarkets and I can easily get it when craving for ice cream!." - Aprillia Suandi

Review on Halal Navi :
"... I didn't expect the portion was too large even though we just having standard size of ramen. I decided to took the spiciest one!! Actually i just wondering japanese hottest and spiciest level. i thought it just standard range of spicy but i was wrong and lil bit regret about it. It was tooooo spicy though 🔥😝 I love their prawn ball. Aaaa.
Their ramen so good even though my nostril water keep running😅😁 We ordered homemade salt egg for topping. I thought it was just like malaysian one. It just a lil bit salty compare with malaysia's salt egg. I guess since many muslim already has dine in here, they seems know what we can and cannot eat just like chicken ball and whatever else. I can give 7 over 10. Another 3 lost by long queue 💁🏻..." - Mariam Roslan

Review on Halal Navi :
"I thank them for opening this vegetarian restaurant at Tokyo Station ーthe central mobility of the city, so it's very convenient for Muslim and vegetarian travelers who want to enjoy Japanese dishes while sticking to their dietary habits. I saw many foreign faces when I was there. Their specialty is ramen, and they serve also some other 'fake meat'-based menus like gyoza and karaage that are all actually made from soybeans. To me, the karaage tastes like "tempeh", and it's oishii! ..." - Ndanazihah
