Yanagi Ramen — Restaurant in Groningen

A few days ago I had dinner here. I am Chinese and I heard stuff there talking in Chinese. So I asked waiter about this and the waiter told me he could speak Chinese, so I ordered in Chinese. But this resulted in I got the chicken ramen which is not the chashao ramen I ordered and more expensive than chashao ramen.I asked about this, then the waiter said in English he was sure I ordered the chicken ramen. I didn’t argue with him and just ate the wrong order because I was preparing for give comments about this on the google map. Also I decided not to speak Chinese with this waiter anymore cause it seems like he refused to understand Chinese and believed I can not speak English. When I finished and checked the bill in English, he suddenly apologized to me and admitted he made the wrong order. How strange… He proposed to take charge my drink for the wrong order ,which was rejected by me. I just wanted to show this experience...

THE ramen place in Groningen with a good variety of styles. We tried the spicy tonkotsu miso ramen, whose quality was amazing.

The price was on the higher-end, but the portions make it well worth it. Finally, the staff was friendly, but it does not seat many, so try...

They also have a great spicy chicken ramen, which I asked to get extra extra spicy - it was very flavorful! I love Asian style soups, and noodle dishes - I have craved spicy soup since spending time in South East Asia - Yanagi was delicious! It satisfied my craving for spicy and savory.

It’s the perfect place to eat on a cold day! The bowls are huge, the portions are fantastic and the venue is has great decor. It is a small place, but there are privacy curtains if you don’t want to eat outside. They have hot and iced Japanese green tea, with an assortment of Japanese...
