My Japanese and Nippon-phile friends also love Orenchi, but I haven’t made a visit yet. Long stupid lines too. Do they have a counter where solo diners can eat with less wait?
These days I’m generally lazy, so if I’m in the area, I’ll go to Ramen Halu (used to be undisputed #1 ) and snag a seat at the counter with no wait, or I’ll go to Kahoo. I’m not super fan of Santouka and their noodles either…but still a decent bowl.
They have a counter, but they seat non-solo groups there as well, so I doubt you’ll be able to get a seat faster.

Relatively cheap hotel with decent English, near the main train station. Small, but very clean and modern rooms.
I booked Yoshimizu. A bunch of other places were full. Seems like a good location. Hopefully I’ll find some good eats within walking distance. Thank you for the suggestion!!

Heading to Tokyo in just a few weeks. Any 2018-2019 recommendations? Interested in restaurants across the board.
So far, I have places like Rokurinsha, Tsuta, Shima, Wanko Soba (for the 100 bowls of soba challenge), etc. Looking to add a kaiseki, too.

Do a search in the Travel forum. This is an old thread, but there’s a lot from much more recent over there.
