    Great ramen in a warm, small but cozy restaurant, full with mangas and anime figures. Fast and superb service. 100

    Everything was great. The food, the atmosphere, the people. Just note that is quite small and always busy. So be patient, it is worth it.

    The starters are really good like the takoyaki, giozas and the seaweed salad. Unfortunately the ramen, which is supposed to be the star dish, is just fine. The soup is rather tasteless and the meat quality is mild. The place is super hype so we had to eat in exactly 30 minutes before they asked us to leave. There is always a waiting line and the tables are very small, so you may have to share one with strangers.

    I loved this little restaurant. Lovely hostess and good food.I love Japanese food and the small menu was perfect for me. Four stars instead of five because the space is very small and getting on and off my stool by the window meant the people behind me had to move back. Bathroom is also tiny. But would definitely go back next time I’m in Toulouse!

    I went often times to this lovely restaurant 😊 All of their menu are really good. + The price is cheap enough but the quality and the taste of the food are excelent. For the main dish : start from 8.5k Dessert and snack are so good, I love their takoyaki. Fast service Friendly service team - Just need to come earlier to avoid the waiting line because the place is small and limited. (But it is worth waiting btw) 😉

    Good options for vegetarians. I took it to go and I may say that I was not so happy with my choice : it didn’t have too much flavor, “sth was missing “, there wasn’t this “juicy” flavor, perhaps some sauce missing? I wish I could have been asked if I wanted to take some sauce with me or at least salt… I would try again but I would stay in the place because the decoration is very cute honestly and the service is very good.

    I was missing Japan so I wanted to feel that Japanese vibe restaurant in Toulouse. I only ordered takoyaki which was okay. I felt like it was reheated because of the texture and quality.

    Very good ^^ vegetarian options available ^^

    Excellent, an hidden gem in a narrow street of Toulouse. Tourist-friendly: the staff speaks english and it’s very welcoming. Delicious food, prepared with great care, I especially recommend octopus takoyaki and shrimp gyoza.

    Authentic restaurant, the best ramen in town definitely 💖

  • 5/5 Morgause d. 4 years ago on Google
    Do you want to taste a little piece of Japan in the south of France? Then you should totally go here! You don't get the well-known stuff like sushi but you can have what ordinary Japanese eat every day - curry rice, soba soup, gyoza dumplings... The only thing I was missing to feel absolutely like in Japan were the "sampuru" plastic foods but I admit it would look strange here in Europe ^^

    It was really good! salmon tadaki taste amazing. But I felt the salmon quantity is little bit small compared to the rice.

    Good food and fantastic atmosphere! Very friendly staff and the place is super cute. Definitely coming back!

    Takoyaki were really tasty and the donburi bowl was plentiful and good as well. I ordered to go and the order was ready pretty quick. They don't offer many things but it seems that what they do offer they have it nailed down. We also do not speak french and they made the effort to communicate with me too.

    It's a cute small place. I've tried the ramen with the black sesame sauce and it was great. Though, be aware that it's really small and it might be uncomfortable for some.

    Fun atmosphere and tasty dishes, waiters are very nice and not a lot of waiting.

    Best Takoyaki in Toulouse ! The restaurant looks very Japanese and cozy, and the staffs and chief are all Japanese. Very authentic Japanese food.

  • 2/5 Bloblo B. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The starters were ok. The takoyaki was 7/10, while the dumplings were very bland in taste. I think you can make at least as good, if not better at home... We ordered both types of ramen. 2 with pork, and one with tofu. This was really disappointing, and did not live up to expectations at all. No particular taste and very weak taste of all elements. Would not order this food again.
