Halal Wagyu&Vegan Ramen Gyumon Osaka Dotonbori — Restaurant in Osaka

Nestled amidst the bustling streets, I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a ramen shop that promises a delightful culinary journey. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the welcoming aroma of simmering broth and the warm ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

The menu, though small, showcases an array of traditional and innovative ramen options. I opted for standard egg white ramen. The first spoonful was a revelation; the broth was deeply flavored, each sip carrying the essence of hours-long preparation.

The noodles were cooked to perfection, with the ideal balance of chewiness and softness, a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of the chefs. Each bite was a harmonious symphony of taste and texture. The wavy beef, tender and succulent, practically melted in my mouth, while the soft-boiled egg added a layer of richness that complemented the dish.

Equally impressive were the service and atmosphere. Pancho was very attentive and ensured that every need was met with a smile, and their enthusiasm for the dishes was contagious. The decor, a blend of modern and rustic elements, created a cozy yet trendy vibe that was perfect for a casual meal or a special outing.

In conclusion, this ramen shop exceeded all expectations, delivering a bowl of ramen that was both satisfying and soul-warming. It's a place that invites you back, reassuring you that each visit will yield the same impeccable standards of flavor and service. Whether you're a ramen aficionado or a first-timer, this shop promises an experience that is nothing short of memorable. Highly recommended to anyone seeking solace in a bowl...

We recently dined at the Halal Wagyu & Vegan Ramen Gyumon Osaka Dotonbori, and the verdict? Average at best.

We ordered the Premium DX Ramen, one red (spicy level 2), one white, plus a portion of gyukatsu. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype.

Let’s start with the ramen. Broth wasn’t even hot, it came out lukewarm, which is honestly baffling for a dish that lives or dies by its broth. Flavour-wise, it was decent, but nothing remarkable. The wagyu slices in the “premium” bowl tasted no different from regular beef, which left us wondering what exactly we were paying extra for.

The red broth had heat, but once you go above spice level 2, it steamrolls everything else. The white broth was more balanced, but still just average. You’re better off going for that if you must try something.

As for the gyukatsu, it was forgettable, soft, lacking in crunch or character. Just… meh.

To top it off, staff member Siddiq interrupted our meal multiple times asking for reviews. Once is fair. Twice, maybe. But three or four times? It was pushy and disruptive, not what you want when you’re trying to enjoy dinner.

The location being right near the Glico sign, probably explains the inflated prices and constant push for tourist reviews. Feels more like a halal gimmick than a genuine ramen experience.

Would we return? Honestly, unlikely. If you’re a halal diner looking for authentic ramen, this ain’t it. Maybe try the white broth once, but lower your expectations. There’s...

I dont write too many reviews, but i do have much to say about this place.

Dont get me wrong, the ramen is delicious and really creamy with nice textures. But the price is absurd for ramen.

I get that dotonburi is a touristy place so they shoot up the prices, but 2500 yen + for a simple bowl of ramen is crazy. The ramen is great but you can get the same or even better elsewhere for a cheaper price. I even asked for a Japanese menu, and they dont have one. How is it that this is a restaurant in JAPAN, yet not have a japanese menu? The ramen here would be like 1000-1500 yen if not in a touristy area. Plus, there seems to be no effective ac in the restaurant. With Osaka/Jpn summer heat, the restaurant feels hot, stuffy, and humid.

All i can really say is that the only good part of this restaurant is the ramen itself and that the workers are kind, but the atmosphere, price for what it is, and no japanese menu is ridiculous. My recommendation is to go to a family owned or non chain ramen restaurant, they will probably have better ramen and prices. On top of that, you will be supporting actual people, not a chain.

I paid 2860 yen for ONE bowl of ramen. Let that sink in

I do respect the fact that it is muslim...
