Reichan ★ 4.2

Okonomiyaki¥¥ekimaeDaily 11:00-22:00, last order 21:30

Reichan starts its Hiroshima soba okonomiyaki at 790 yen inside ekie, which is fair going for a counter built into the Hiroshima Station complex itself.

Try: Soba okonomiyaki

Tip: Squid and prawn toppings push the bill up quickly; the plain soba version is the budget order here.

Bakudanya Honten ★ 4.5

Ramen¥shintenchiDaily 11:30-15:00, 18:00-22:00; closed Wednesday

Bakudanya sells Hiroshima tsukemen for under 1,000 yen in Shintenchi: cold noodles with cabbage, cucumber and a chilli dipping sauce you grade yourself.

Try: Hiroshima tsukemen

Tip: Heat runs on a numbered scale, and asking for a lower number costs nothing and keeps the sauce readable.

Chukasoba Youki Eba Honten ★ 4.5

Ramen¥ebaDaily 11:30-13:30, 18:00-23:00; closed on the 1st, 12th, 13th and 26th of each month

Chukasoba Youki in Eba has sold one bowl of Hiroshima chuka soba since 1958, and it remains among the cheapest good lunches anywhere in the city.

Try: Chuka soba

Tip: There is nothing else on the menu, so the queue moves quickly even when it runs out of the door.

Musashibo ★ 4.4

Ramen¥otemachiMon and Wed-Sun 11:00-15:00, 18:00-22:00; Fri-Sat dinner to 00:00; closed Tuesday

Musashibo sells Hiroshima's broth-free tantanmen from a ticket machine in Fujimi-cho, with every heat level priced exactly the same as the rest.

Try: Shirunashi tantanmen

Tip: Buy the ticket before you sit down, and stir the bowl hard before the first mouthful or the chilli oil stays at the bottom.

Okonomiyaki¥¥otemachiDaily 11:00-20:00; closed Tuesday and the 2nd and 4th Wednesday

Nagataya keeps its lunch okonomiyaki near the A-Bomb Dome at around 1,000 yen, which is fair going for a counter standing this close to the Peace Park.

Try: Hiroshima okonomiyaki

Tip: Lunch runs cheaper than dinner here, and the kitchen closes for the day at 20:00 rather than running late.
