What to know
Guchoku is known for its tonkotsu ramen, which simmers for many hours. The shop is something of a local secret, considering it has no signage. Instead, hopeful diners simply look for the telltale line of regulars that forms outside the shop's nondescript facade. Inside, the vibe is casual and cozy, which makes it a great place for a quick bite.
