Double Dashi — Japanese Ramen Restaurant & Hidden Speakeasy Bar in Chennai. Double
Dashi

Yes. Double Dashi conceals a hidden bar behind an unmarked wall — the only concealed bar concept in Chennai. The bar serves Japanese-inspired craft mocktails and zero-ABV drinks, including the signature Yakult-based mocktail range. Most guests who visit the Japanese restaurant never find it.

Double Dashi serves three house-simmered broths: Tonkotsu (rich pork-bone), Miso (earthy and complex), and Shoyu (soy-based, clean and savoury). All broths are simmered for hours and noodles are cooked to order.

Double Dashi operates at two Chennai locations: Annanagar (3rd Floor, Block A, 2nd Avenue, Anna Nagar — 8925992162) and Teynampet (4/27, First St, Cenotaph Rd — 8925992163). Hours: 12:30 PM – 4 PM & 6:30 PM – 11 PM daily.

Double Dashi is a zero-alcohol venue. The bar programme features Japanese-inspired craft mocktails and zero-ABV drinks — most notably the Yakult-based mocktails, unique to Double Dashi and inspired by Japan's beloved Yakult culture.

Double Dashi is one of Chennai's top date night restaurants. The focused Japanese menu with clean, honest flavours creates the right conditions for conversation. And discovering the hidden speakeasy bar together is an experience unlike any other restaurant in the city.

Double Dashi is widely regarded as the best Japanese restaurant in Chennai, with house-simmered ramen broths, fresh sashimi, temaki, and handmade gyoza prepared with genuine technique. It is the only Japanese restaurant in Chennai with a concealed zero-proof bar.
