Kibuka Izakaya — Restaurant in Barcelona

The restaurant setting and service was really good. We went there for lunch and ordered one ramen each and appetizers to share. The gyozas and edamame were decent. But sadly the main stars of the place: ramens, were not up to the same quality.

I ordered tan-tan men which was the spicy one with braised duck toppings. The ramen noodles were cut (!?) into short strips and had weird texture. My soup was ok with a touch of spiciness but more on the bland side. The other ramen we ordered was tonkotsu ramen which was a creamy pork bone broth. This one was worse as the soup was bland, no kicks, and also had the same problem with the noodles.

So if you’ve been to Japan and had proper ramen before I would not recommend this place.

However, when the staff came to collect our plates she asked for our feedback. After we mentioned to her about the ramen she went in the kitchen and got us a complimentary cheesecake as an apology. We were really surprised and also appreciated the nice gesture. That was a good hospitality from...

I came here during off-hours and was satisfied with the tan tan ramen I had. The broth was the star of the bowl and was very flavorful and delicious. However, I agree with some other reviewers that the noodles are a bit non-traditional, but didn't dislike it. Traditionally, ramen is made from alkaline noodles, made with kansui, which makes the noodles springy and chewier. These noodles had an almost "al dente" texture similar to pasta, which may be an adjustment to local tastes or ingredients. If you are a ramen connoisseur, you may be disappointed with these noodles, but I was not. You do have to order meat toppings separately, but I appreciated the freedom of choice, and even though you appear to pay "extra", the total cost was typical for ramen, and the base price...

Very good products and "the house"🍷 wine was delicious, very friendly client attention.

The 🍜 Ramen was tasty, fresh products and the noodles feel very fresh and homemade but with bigger diameter.

They offer Ramen variations I've never tasted before, a well though menu options!

The portions of the ramen is correct but I missed a little more soup 🥣 (I suppose not all clients drink this plate completely - so they try not to waste the product?). I felt I need a bit more but later I felt perfect. Weird feeling 🤔🍃

The asthenosphere is well done, good music and the lights are splendid. I will come back soon and try all the menu!

Little detail: I'll recommend to have red 🍷 wine at the ambient temperature, I think it...
