    Personally, I was not too fond of the ramen. The broth lacked flavor, and with only two options, the choices were limited. Unfortunately, the broth wasn't hot enough; it cooled down too quickly, which was disappointing. I just wish it had more authentic ramen flavours. :( On the upside, the Karaage was good—crispy enough. The atmosphere was pleasant and open giving off cozy vibes, with a collection of nice cookbooks on the shelf (which I flipped through while waiting for our food). The service was warm and friendly. Overall, I would say a mixed experience.

    Very beautiful and classy restaurant. Unfortunately, the ramen lacks a bit of flavour and "richness" (authenticity). Taking that into account, the price of 16€ for the vegetarian bowl with only 4 toppings (mushrooms, spring onion, tofu and ginger) is a bit high. Other than that, very nice and friendly staff 😊

    Trap for tourist. The pork katsu was terrible, the entire katsu was like a giant rubber. Curry was watery, rice was not properly washed to get the starch out. The entire katsu was a mess. Ramen over priced, 17€ for a bowl of ramen. I was expecting a bigger bowl with more food. Taste of ramen was average, nothing special about it. If the ramen was uniquely good, I will not have no problem paying 17€ but an average ramen... There was a customer vaping inside the restaurant and the staff didn't do anything. Very disappointing experience, a lot of hype about this place but in reality, this restaurant needs a lot of work. At this moment, I can say this restaurant is a tourist trap. To the management, I can change my review if you improve the restaurant to a good standard.

    One of the worse Ramen I’ve had in my life! This is NOT ramen!! It’s Chinese egg noodle soaked in an instant powdered soup. Even the instant ramen noodle which comes in a pack tastes better. The only tasty thing on that bowl was the egg. The service is bad as the server has a bad and lazy attitude. The Japanese will always serve with a serving tray but will never leave it on the table so that the servers ‘can clear the table easier’. The waitress literally told us that it’s easier to clear the tables after. That’s just plain LAZY!!! She’s like a robot… saying thank you and asking how the food is without any emotions. I’d rather she be genuine and not speak. This will be our first and last time to this establishment. It’s an insult to the Japanese cuisine. Even the Japanese fast food and cantins have better service! By the way, there’re only two choices for the ramen. I would expect a way better tasting and quality food if you’ve so few choices

    Fantastic! simple menu. Beautiful presentation. 3main dishes, we tried each of them and they were all lovely & flavorful. The Only disappointment was that the menu was only available via QR code as if we were still in covid ( luckily ordering was via the waiter).

    A solid ramen spot. Monthly menu surprises us every time. Great ramen and sides fills with authenticity. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Thanh N. 6 months ago on Google
    There 2 types of ramen. I was kinda disappointed in the warm of the broth. It really felt that the broth was heated up in the microwave cause the broth was really quick cool down. Furthermore, mochi is actually a daifuku

    Pretty good place. Great atmosphere, looks great. Nice food, but too salty for me. Affordable price

  • 5/5 Mike D. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely food. Great friendly service and the perfect setting to enjoy a bowl of Ramen in Lille. Excellent.

  • 3/5 Jumpei K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good customer service. Staff are really kind and polite, and made me feel really special. Merci bien 🙏 I came to eat Shio ramen, because it is very rare to have one in the UK and Europe, because it has delicate taste and difficult to make good one. Sadly this Shio ramen didn’t meet my expectation… it was very similar to Shoyu Ramen…

    The ramen was really nice but the meat was a bit too salty. It didn’t stop me from eating the rest since I usually like salty. I think the price/portion ratio is good. The staff was very kind and caring which made me stay for a coffee. Good for solo travellers (like me) or groups :) A small advice can be a small cup of water next to the espresso and less salty meat for the ramen

  • 5/5 nimue _. 11 months ago on Google
    So good! The servers were inviting, friendly and ran the service very well. The ramen was amazing, clearly fresh ingredients, eggs boiled and marinated perfectly, juicy bamboo and flavourful meat. The broth was a bit too salty for my taste, but great nonetheless. Definitely worth a second visit!

    The ramen is average therefore food is overpriced and website is very confusing, cola is 6 euro wow. Menu is super small.Doesn`t worth a try

  • 5/5 Nora G. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious ramen! Some of the best gyoza I've ever had. Can't wait to come back.

  • 5/5 Eugenie 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely and precious restaurant where some menus can be changed to suit dietary requirements. The ramen I had was vegan-friendly and gluten free, yet remained delicious. Their homemade mochi was precious 🌸 From kind and informative front of house to lovely dishes - somewhere I’d visit again.

    I visited daykanyama, and Aoyama before that. The restaurants seem to operate together. I was unhappy with the experience as the food did not taste great. The owner is quite unprofessional when it comes to answering reviews. Quite sad.

  • 4/5 Yangzum L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very savoury, flavorful and filling!! Went there on a cold day and it was the best. Its a little higher on the prices though. Host was friendly and the place very cozy and nice!

  • 5/5 Gabor B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice environment to have very good ramen and tonkatsu. Small variation of dishes was compensated by the quality and flavour. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Anubhav N. 2 years ago on Google
    1st impression of the place was very nice as the location is TOP, very luminous and the interior decoration is pleasing on the eyes. The overall vibe of the place is warm and comfortable. Being a non-Japanese, from my knowledge I can say the food felt really authentic. The presentation was colourful and impressive. Well prepared and cooked, Ramen’s soup was delicious. Comparatively, I felt it is a bit expensive but when craving calls who cares. Suggest you to go with prior-reservation.

  • 3/5 Mindaugas �. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly and attentive staff, pre-booking stuff is to hype people, but unfortunately for nothing special. I was missing depth in flavour, and balance between the ingredients.

  • 5/5 Amy N. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean place, simple choice of menu and tasty food. The takoyakis are as tasty as the one I've tried in Japan!

  • 3/5 Bernardo P. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is ok. They have two types of ramen, and one additional option that changes monthly. Service was nice, no complaints, but the food did not shine. A big downside for me is that they don't accept Edenred.

  • 3/5 Nabila A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good but it is far from "Authentic Ramen". Almost all the menu, from Gyoza, Takoyaki, and Ramen has this "western twist". The ramen has an off balanced flavour. Curry was served with a miso soup. But the miso soup served in a mug..... 🥲🥲 without any explanation. I think anybody would not suspect it is a miso soup if it is served that way. The plus point for this place is the super friendly waiter. Theyre very nice and tourist friendly.

😠 What a huge disappointment. The so famous waffles are nothing special. Mega over priced, softer than I expected and you cannot combine different flavors in a box. So you have to buy 6 waffles of the same flavor. How retarted is that? If you want to taste all flavors you have to buy them individual...
