My friend and I were strolling past Savigny Platz and were craving ramen like crazy. Google maps recommend us to pay hachiko a visit and it was certainly the best recommendation! At first we accidentally walked past the restaurant, since it is very small and cozy - however, we quickly found a nice seat outside and were kindly greeted. We ordered Kimchi, Beef Ramen and Tonkotsku Ramen with a Shoyu base. The Kimchi came almost a minute after ordering it - and beware! I’ve had my fair share of kimchi but they didn’t lie, when they said it is spicy. It was incredibly spicy 🥵 and delicious!! Quickly after, the ramen was brought out. Lovely plating and salivating good smell. If it wasn’t as hot my friend and I would’ve devoured it in minutes. The broth wasn’t too thick but you could taste the richness and depth of it. Complemented with noodles that were perfectly cooked al dente. I didn’t get the chance to ask but I assume that the noodles were handmade. The condiments went great with the broth and the noodles. Not only was the food outstanding but the service was great! Without a doubt would I...
Read moreThey offer Ramen in Miso and Shoyu Base. I have tried their Tonkotsu auf Shoyu Basis (not pictured). The soup was flavourful and thick, noodles were firm and springy which I liked but it felt like instant noodles and not homemade.

My friend got a Gyudon Bowl (not pictured) which was „very satisfying“ she got herself another one.

Located in the heart of Kantstraße, one can easily pay a visit for a quick ramen fix when you find yourself in the area. The dishes are reasonably priced. It is not really the most authentic and best ramen in Berlin, but better than another nearby ramen shop (also located along...
Read moreI don't like to give bad reviews and also I had just one bowl, so maybe I was just unlucky. My miso tonkotsu was really blunt, I was expecting more punchy present of miso tare, higher salinity and more complex flavour. This bowl left in me an impression like the soup was diluted. Noodles was fine, surprising was ajitama with traces of five spice in marinade, I am not sure if I like combination of cinnamon and egg, but it was something new. Pork belly chashu remains me fried bacon flavoured with shoyu and mirin. Wakame and corn are not necessary here, to say politely. I really liked the shop design and atmosphere, also service was...
