The Annex lists ramen at ¥1,180 and extra noodles at ¥210. Ordering both gives a calculated example of ¥1,390, excluding drinks, toppings and any late-night surcharge. Confirm the final amount against your visit time and the in-store menu.
Do not apply the 24-hour counter listing to table seating. Official notices say staffing may change seats and hours and crowding may prevent entry even before last orders. If sitting together or eating late is the goal, check your intended seating first.
