    Lesson learned: Next time, I'll definitely check reviews before setting foot in a restaurant. It's like having a crowd-sourced crystal ball! So, I thought I was about to dive into a bowl of Japanese ramen paradise, but the universe had other plans. The Chinese ownership had me raising an eyebrow – it's like expecting a koala in the Arctic, right? Then enters the grumpy grandmaster of non-happiness, who seemed about as thrilled to serve as a cat in a water park. Maybe he was having a "who can look the most disinterested" contest with himself? Now, the food. Ah, yes. Let's just say the taste was a bit like a silent disco – you see the excitement, but it never quite hits the eardrums, I mean taste buds. And yes, the price tag was like a magician's trick – now you see your money, now you don't! But hey, turns out it's not just a restaurant; it's a life lesson served on a plate. In this high-rent, authenticity-confused China Town corner, reality wears disguises and expectations might just laugh in your face.

    Read the reviews before coming. If you are a Ramen fan, don’t come here. I had a tonkotsu shoyu ramen and i’m sure it was from an instant package. No taste at all, cute presentation but zero flavor. This is Chinese ownership and they don’t do an authentic ramen.

    Decent ramen in a rather small, rough and ready establishment. The owner/server is a bit of a character but seems nice enough. Probably just language issues we experienced. Had some gyoza too which were nice. Reasonably priced. Nothing fancy or upmarket in here and if you’re all with service on the owners terms then you won’t go wrong.

    The food was good but the place didn’t seem great and the owner seemed to judge us and didn’t seem to want us to be in his restaurant

    Ordered tonkotsu ramen for dinner during a rainy night. For not very hungry people, it is actually well enough for two person. The broth is very rich with the aroma of the pork. Each spoonful of ramen with the broth is superb. We were served with four big pieces of three layered pork well roasted and still juicy with smokey smell. Overall we were very satisfied with the ramen after we had tasted ichiran ramen previously. The taste was different however it was very worth to try out.

    Ramen is really bad… veggie ramen came with half an egg and a tiny shred of tofu. The veggies were Ok - the broth is just salty water. That being said the staff are nice and courteous and it was a relaxing quiet place. Doesn’t seem super clean though.

    I had very tasty vegan ramen with a side of edamame, which were served in like 5 minutes. The interior is very quiet and relaxing, in stark contrast to the busy street outside. The waiter was nice and efficient. Definitely worth the visit. I will be returning soon!

    My boyfriend and I went back in April, and the experience was so bad I can't stop thinking about it. We walked in, and the place was empty. The owner was sat watching TV at his desk right next to us as we tried to eat. Awkward atmosphere. The ramen was below par by all means. Little flavor, and obviously frozen. The noodles were mushy and overcooked. My boyfriend, who normally clears his plate, ate barely any of his food. Just avoid this place. The owner was also rude when we paid, because we didn't want to leave a tip. Not worth it.

    Unlike many of the other commentators I really enjoyed my visit here. We came for lunch and were nearly the only guests. Most of us ordered ramen (obviously) and my meal was excellent. Everything you’d want from a bowl of ramen was in there and all of it tastet very well. The portion was very big especially for the very acceptable price (for Amsterdam). We were served by the man and he was very nice despite me nearly instantly throwing down a bottle. Also to other customers he was very gentle and forthcoming. Additionally, the order didn’t take too long which really helped because we were in a hurry. There weren’t many vegan meals but the vegan in my group still found great food. All in all I have to say it was a great lunch. (7 people drink, meal, side - 140€)

    Incredibly good Ramen. The veggie Ramen was the best I've ever eaten. Loaded with noodles and vegetables and delicious taste. The waiter was very nice. He's quiet, yes, but very friendly. :) The price was very reasonable for the large bowls and I'd love to eat here again.

    Don't even go in!! I got food poisoning from the pork in the ramen. At the time I tried to tell the owner that maybe there was something wrong with the food and he just told us to pay and leave. He never apologized. He made us pay for the food we couldn't eat and was super rude. At the end he got really aggressive and said that he was going to beat us (????). We had to pay, but will never come back!!! Definitely one of the worst restaurants I've been to!

    I really love the chill atmosphere, the owner was really friendly and warm. One of the best ramen places that i have been in the Netherlands. The portion was huge, love the flavorful chicken, the noodle was perfect not too soft and not too hard. Highly recommend this place, be sure to add a dash of soy sauce or chili sauce if you need to (just to cater to your liking)
