About 5 AM Ramen

In some cities, the perfect late-night bite is a juicy sandwich or a savory kebab. In Tokyo, it’s about eating a steaming bowl of ramen to close out a long night. I speak from experience when I say this – nothing satisfies like a bowl of 5 AM Ramen.
This website is dedicated to ramen, Japan’s favorite soul food. From the best instant ramen to Tokyo’s top ramen shops, we cover it all.

5 AM Ramen is run by Frank, a Filipino-American born and raised in Tokyo, who happily eats ramen for a living. When he's not slurping noodles, he enjoys reading, exercising, and traveling. He’s also a huge Lord of the Rings fan.
