Ramen IPPIN Kaiserslautern — Restaurant in Kaiserslautern

We arrived about an hour before closing and were seated pretty quickly. The restaurant is set up where the kitchen is right in the center. It’s a pretty small space for the seating. And, there’s no tables set up outside. We ordered two beers from the menu and were told they don’t have their alcohol license. This is the only restaurant I’ve been to with no alcohol license.

Also if you don't space out your orders properly, you will get all your food at once. I have had worse problems. The homemade ice teas I tried were pretty good. The spicy miso was good but of course not that spicy for here. The curry dish was different than I am used to but that could be the Japanese way, still it tasty.
