We called ahead to reserve a table for two. Had to wait tiny bit for the table but that was not a problem for us. In the end, we understood that weekends are normally more packed than usual. It was a cold windy Sunday, but the door could not be closed completely, so pretty much i was freezing and truly have had hoped that the warm food could help me overcome it. I wanted to have the Korean Chicken ( Chikin in the menu it said ) for appetiser and explicitly told the waiter that i want this for Vorspeise and the Ramen as the main course. The Chikin ended up coming out at the same time with the Ramen. Now here, i personally do not like to leave my ramen either cold or being bloated by sitting in the broth for too long, so i needed to shove the chikin as fast as possible to be able to enjoy the ramen fully. Or so i thought. The “quality” of these 3 pieces of chicken tasted like they just came straight from the fridge and warmed up quickly from the microwave. That was pretty disappointing:) I ordered Genmaicha and again, the tea came out also fast, tasted like hot water, unspectacular. My boyfriend ordered the Mango lemonade and even the ramen soup/broth has more flavour than the thick artificial mint flavour that they put in the lemonade. Again, disappointing:) Now the main course, the ramen. I understand everyone has different taste and preferences. My personal experience before the main dish came out was already not that great, it could be the factor to make me “lose the appetite” more easily. The meat was thick, not tender, the broth was dull, naruto pieces was cold, i had no words to describe how disappointed i was. There were still broth left in the bowl, the waiter only looked and asked my boyfriend whether he finished it or not, and then took my bowl away as well, quickly asked us to get desert in the name of “offering free mochi-ice cream”. It was my birthday :) of course can not blame them for not knowing, but i imagine i could have a chill nice evening, spend time talking and enjoying good food with my loved ones but it turned out to be my fastest dinner ever
Read moreWhen simplicity is executed well, it turns into something great—this ramen spot at the entrance of Lübeck’s historic Hanseatic city proves just that. It’s a cozy place with a few outdoor tables in warmer weather. The menu is focused and to the point, offering a selection of ramen with clear, rich, chicken, pork, or vegetarian miso-based broths. There are also a few appetizers and sweet options like matcha ice cream or mochi for dessert. The homemade lemonades are refreshing, though, as usual, drinks are on the pricier side, while the ramen itself is very reasonably priced at €14. Service is impressively fast, and the open kitchen adds to the lively, inviting atmosphere. The bright Japanese-inspired mural on the wall gives the place a modern yet authentic feel. Whether dining in or ordering via delivery, this spot delivers a solid bowl of ramen that’s well...
Read moreAbsolutely enjoyed a hearty meal at this restaurant. The ramen was easily one of the best I’ve ever had, and I was especially pleased with the variety of vegetarian options available at different spice levels. The dishes were also resonably priced for the quality and quantity.
I did feel that their fried items were a bit too oily, so I’d advise a bit of caution there — but everything else was simply outstanding. The service was quick, and the waiter was very friendly and attentive.
The overall setup was warm and inviting, instantly transporting us from the streets of Lübeck to the heart of Japan. With its many anime posters and collectible figures, the place was a visual treat and a real eye-catcher. It’s also quite spacious and can comfortably accommodate a large...
