Ramen Shifu Lambrate — Restaurant in Milan

Hard to tell why there are so many good reviews.

TLDR: Worst excuse for ramen I have ever eaten. An insult to real ramen. If you have ever had ramen in Tokyo or the West Coast of the US, pass on this place. It will save you from suffering grave disappointment.

Let's start with the broth, the foundation of real ramen. Broth? No, hot water with some salt and brown coloring.

Other flavors? dried shiitake and almost raw cabbage.

Noodles? Innocuous. Easy to ignore.

Service? You are handed a tablet while the "waiter" walks away. Which might be OK if someone had paid the least bit attention to the UX.

I asked for Togarashi, the seven-flavor chili pepper available in any real ramen place, and the response was a confused look.

Positives? The beer was cold and served in nice Asahi-branded glasses.

Will I return? ...

Genereally service is fast but you have to order from your phone by scanning a qr code. In my personal taste, I prefer ordering via personel to have a social connection and ask their reccomendations. The prices are okay considering diversity and richness of toppings. Finally, the broth quality is very good compared to other ramen...

A hole in the wall that brings back memories from far east. Once inside you find a nicely designed space with simple, functional furniture, small tables, simple chairs - but in a good way. Menu via QR code and only by using their WiFi. If you resist you get a tablet to order from a touch screen with fotos. WYSIWYG. What you see is what you get. We had Ramen in broth, some dumplings and fried tofu. All tasty. Good if you master chop sticks and slurping. Apron provided. But there are also dry noodles if you prefer and probably some...
