MÌ KHÔ NHẬT BẢN KIRINJI

Mì Khô Nhật Bản Kirinji is a Japanese noodle shop on Huỳnh Mẫn Đạt, Bình Thạnh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The franchise originated in Osaka, Japan, where it gained popularity for soup-free abura soba noodles. The eatery stands near the Japanese dining enclave along Phạm Viết Chánh street. The kitchen prepares Tokyo-style abura soba noodles using tare sauce and fragrant oil.

Cooks boil thick wheat noodles to order until the strands achieve a dense, chewy texture. Each standard bowl features braised chashu pork, seasoned menma bamboo shoots, dried nori, and scallions. A soft, runny onsen egg rests atop the hot noodles to enrich the mixture. The kitchen also serves side dishes such as Japanese fried karaage chicken and pan-fried pork gyoza.

Diners drizzle rice vinegar and house-made chili oil directly over the noodles at the dining table. Vigorous mixing emulsifies the melted egg yolk with the tare and chili oil beneath the noodles. The dining space features air conditioning, compact wooden tables, and dedicated counter seating along the wall. Illustrated cards on each tabletop provide clear steps on how to season and toss each bowl.

The menu includes combo meals that pair bowls of abura soba with fried chicken and drinks. Customers can order extra toppings such as additional chashu slices, poached eggs, or steamed white rice. The shop maintains separate daily lunch and dinner shifts to serve local office workers and residents. The Huỳnh Mẫn Đạt storefront sits within walking distance of the Thị Nghè canal and market area.
