If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that combines delicious food with a touch of playful creativity, Shifu Ramen in Puerto de la Cruz is a must-visit! This cozy spot delivers the perfect blend of flavor-packed, spicy ramen and immersive, vibrant décor.
First, let’s talk about the ramen—hands down, the best we've ever had. Their spicy broth is rich, well-balanced, and deeply satisfying, striking the perfect harmony between heat and umami. The noodles are fresh and perfectly cooked, and the toppings—whether it's tender pork belly, spicy fried chicken, crispy veggies, or delicate egg—are thoughtfully chosen and add to the complexity of every bite. You can taste the passion that goes into every bowl, and it's hard not to keep slurping until the very last drop!
But what truly sets Shifu apart is the ambiance. The walls are decked out in colorful, anime-inspired murals that transport you into the world of Asian cartoons. It’s as if you've stepped into a lively, comic book fantasy. From the bold characters to the vibrant action scenes, it’s not just a meal—it’s an experience. Whether you’re a fan of anime or simply appreciate unique artwork, the setting alone makes this place worth visiting.
The service is friendly and attentive, with staff who are eager to explain the menu and offer recommendations if you’re not sure what to try. The portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable given the quality and care put into every dish.
Overall, Shifu is more than just a ramen spot; it's a slice of Asian culture in the heart of Tenerife. Whether you're a ramen aficionado or just looking for a fun, flavorful night out, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food with a side of art and...
Read moreThe ramen itself would be better if it was possible to season with soy sauce or lao gan ma at the table. The kimchi was very good eventhough it was a quick, almost not fermented version and the the gyoza were also good. What really bothered me, was the animal products when I ordered vegan. My green tea (just a teabag, sadly) came with honey. I ordered just the tea, it even gives both options on the menu to do so. And the vegan mochi (not authentic mochi, way too bitter) came with whipped cream. These incidents make me wonder what else hasn't been vegan and it's things like these that would be easily avoidable. The staff was very friendly and fast, so the two stars are because of them! My advice go others is to be very specific about ordering vegan, if this is important to you. Probably same case if you...
Read moreI went to Ramen Shifu and had the Kimchi Pork Ramen. I picked level 1 spiciness (out of 5), and it was so good! The flavors were super well-balanced, and the bit of spice made it even better.
For starters, I had the Toriman Teriyaki and Chicken Wings. Both were really tasty! The toriman was full of flavor, and the wings were cooked just right.
The vibe of the place is also amazing! It’s styled in a super authentic Japanese way, with anime and Japanese art everywhere. It really feels like you’re in Japan while you’re there.
Honestly, the food and the atmosphere were amazing, and I’ll definitely be back to try more. If you love ramen and a Japanese vibe, you’ve got to check...
