Grasshopper Ramen Bar — Restaurant in Barcelona

Really good and authentic japanese restaurant. The dishes are very special and quite big.

I ordered the shio ramen while my boyfriend ordered tan tan mian. The shio ramen is a salt type of ramen and it tasted and smelled a bit like fish. The chashu pork was really good and the menma (bamboo) was the best I’ve ever had. The tan tan mian is a spicy type of ramen. I don’t recommend it if you don’t like spicy, but if you do you should give it a try.

We came back again and I ordered Shoyu ramen (Soy ramen) and he ordered Miso ramen. My shoyu ramen was really good (for now it’s my favourite), and his miso ramen was really good but had a special taste comparing to others I’ve had.

I gotta say Shio ramen, Shoyu ramen and Miso ramen have all the same ingredients, the only thing that changes is the soup broth itself, but it’s like you’re eating a whole different ramen from one to another, so it’s still very worth it to try every single one of them.

For desserts, we ordered daifuku mochi. Mine was strawberry mousse and his was adzuki. Both were really good and big compared to the ones we’ve always eaten. The traditional (adzuki) has a very special taste so if you don’t like the taste of the original japanese desserts, I recommend you stick to your common favourite.

The staff is very friendly and always answer your questions with a smile, and the one that looks like the boss there (a japanese woman) speaks Spanish very fluently.

We had no wait to eat, but later after we arrived a line started. Even so, people didn’t hace to wait a lot (maybe 10min), so it’s still very worth it.

The price is okay, the ramens are about 8€ each and the daifuku mochi 4,25€, so you can eat really well with a...

This is probably my favorite ramen spot in Barcelona.

The ramen is as close as it gets in the city to the real one, and the atmosphere is hard to beat. The staff is kind, and a lady there calls everyone guapo/a :)

Desserts are so worth trying.

As for the cons: the extras for the ramen are too expensive in my opinion, and an extra egg/meat is needed as the default doesn't feel enough. Also, the noodles are too thin and have a smooth texture, and they dont absorb the broth well - which is the best part of the ramen.

Another "downside" is that it's quite popular, and on weekend nights you're likely to wait quite some for a seat, for then sitting packed while the staff works fast-paced - disrupting the vibe that makes this spot feel welcoming.

I'd recommend coming mid-week right after opening time for the...

Very authentic looking Ramen place, great service, great atmosphere. But...

I had the Tan Tan Mien and to be honest I wasn't really impressed. First of the all the broth - very thick and creamy, but to me it was tasting a bit weird and bland at the same time, it felt like a coconut cream, a bit bitter, a bit nutty, no salt or other spice. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be, but it's not for me... The minced meat was also bland, I didn't like the flavor or the texture, and it was not too much of it. The noodles were a bit too thin for my taste. The bowl didn't come with any marinated egg or nori seaweed (you can order that for extra $$), which I've always thought that most of the Ramens should have by default. I'm pretty sure you can find better tasting Ramen in Barcelona for the same (or...
