Yes, we do. It's not on the ticket machine, but please ask us directly.
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow or nod when asking. Pointing towards the machine can help if confused.
Some ramen shops have very strict ordering procedures. If they point to the machine without further explanation, it might mean it's not available or you need to find it on the machine yourself. Always be polite.
