Hypocritical place - Edit
The food tastes good, although their self made noodles are hard to digest. I don’t recommend them to people suffering from gluten intolerance.
Read moreLong waiting times are standard.
Please be aware of the radical left attitude of the owners collective. They tell you straight up that you’re not welcome if not sharing their far left world views.
They pray peace and tolerance but I won’t forget their harsh discrimination of people who didn’t want to participate in the COVID hysteria and just wanted their peace.
The place is often closed because the staff is on some left wing events.

Gesundes Essen - Edit
Sehr klein, aber gemütlich. Man hat das Gefühl, sehr gesund gegessen zu haben. Nur die Portionen sind etwas zu klein.

Good enough - Edit
Ambiente 9/10 very cute
Read moreFood: a little too expensive for the portion size, but there's limitless soy sauce. Milk in broth gave the whole thing some nice taste.
My friends food was a little tasteless, the broth didn't taste like much.
Would come here again if we were starving 💛
Pros: Waiting time, Only vegan options, Regional food ingredients
Cons: Prices, Lack in taste (a little bit)

Great place for dinner - Edit
I loved the place and udon was really good. Shame that they did not have seitan at that moment, tofu was a bit too sweet to my taste. Otherwise it was great experience)

Leider enttäuscht - Edit
War mein 2ter Besuch und scheinbar wurde hier stark abgebaut.
Read moreIch habe leider kein Verständnis dafür für Ramen länger als 40 Minuten warten zu müssen. In meinen Augen spricht das entweder für eine schlecht organisierte Küche oder eine viel zu kleine Küche um die Speisen angemessen vorbereiten zu können.
Geschmacklich solide. Weder besonders gut noch schlecht.
Der Flair des Ladens ist ebenfalls gewöhnungsbedürftig. Für links orientierte Menschen sicher ansprechend. Für ein Restaurant unpassend, da es an vielen Stellen ungepflegt aussieht.
Cons: Wartezeit

Stimmt, Ziel der politischen Linken waren ja immer “ungepflegte” Restaurants, was auch “ungepflegt” in dem Kontext heißen sollte. Musst du halt zu Chè Merz in Abendsberg gehen, macht ihr einen schönen Stammtischabend und unterhaltet euch über “gepflegte”Orte und Werte.

Super Abend! - Edit
Super familiäre Atmosphäre, freundlicher Service. Waren zu Valentinstag da, war viel los, also Reservierung war nötig. Aber auch bei den Gäste, die nicht reserviert hatten, wurde sich darum bemüht alle unterzubekommen. Essen war super lecker und preiswert. Einrichtung super süß, gemütlich und bequem. Werden noch oft dorthin gehen. Super Abend!

Gut - Edit
Das Essen war lecker aber es fehlte ein wenig die Würze. Leider gab es auch kein Nachtisch mehr.
Read moreDie Beleuchtung ist leider ein wenig unangenehm, da auf den Glühbirnen keine Abschirmung ist und als neurodivergente Person ist das leider schwer zu ignorieren. Es war auch relativ laut. Dennoch ein super Angebot für Veganer*innen und es hat sich trotz allem gelohnt, besonders weil wirklich viel Arbeit und Liebe in das Essen gesteckt wird und das merkt man als Gast schon. Also alles in allem, vier Sterne. ⭐️
Pros: Lecker
Cons: Unangenehme Beleuchtung

Tasty food - Edit
We both had miso udon special from their winter meniu and it was very tasty and filling. The cheesecake was great - light and not too sweet - just as we like it. The place itself is very small but cosy. We came right at the opening hour and it filled up with people pretty quickly. Thus, i recommend reserving a table in advance.

Very filling - Edit
The taste was great, but the broth could be more flavourful. The desserts were ok, but nothing crazy. Glad there were desserts in general. Very cool place and big plus for gender neutral bathrooms, reusable towels for drying hands and kickass sticker collection. The staff was friendly too.

Even if you can get some starters the main „attraction“ are the udon dishes.

Noodle soup - Edit
We went with a group of 8 people and tried different dishes. Everthing was okay, but not overwhelming and of course broth with noodles is hard too eat. Tiramisu cake is nice.
