Ramen reminiscent of Japan

Fantastic ramen! Highly recommend!

Hate to sound like a snob, but after visiting Japan, all ramen I eat in the U.S. simply can't compare. (NYC & Boston).

Deserves 1 thumb up for being a great vegan dish and a 2nd thumb for having the vegan part feel irrelevant.

Had:
Tantanmen Ramen
Koji Paitán
Wonton

The wontons had a really great and unique consistency (unlike most traditional, it felt packed and not loose and slurpy.). I enjoyed chewing it the entire way through. Sadly, I wish the filling packed a stronger flavor or absorbed sauce easier. With aggressive sauce poured on top, it was enjoyable.

Updated from previous review on 2025-04-23

Pros: Broth was superb. , Toppings were splendid., Noodles had perfect texture and flavor.

Cons: Wonton filling lacked flavor.

Very tasty ramen

I had the gyozas of the day, the creamy mushroom ramen and the ganache as dessert, it's absolutely delicious. Everything was super tasty, I loved it. Also had a glass of white wine albariño.

Pros: Super friendly waiter, Tasty food made with love, Good atmosphere

Cons: Only ramen as main course

Lovely ramen

One of the best ramen restaurants I've been to. They make everything from scratch e.g. noodles, seitan etc. You can really taste the quality. If I had to be fussy, I'd say that the crispy soya curd (chicken skin) wasn't uniformly cooked and 80% of mine was verging on being burnt - the 20% that wasn't, was delicious!

Super recomendable

El mejor ramen que he probado. He estado recientemente en Japón y puedo asegurar que este no tiene nada que envidiar a los de allí :).

Pros: Personal super amable, Ambiente acogedor, Comida buenísima

Full of flavor

The jackfruit bao is the best I have ever tried, it has a very spicy flavor. The ramens are really good and creamy. The menus changes over the days. Nice atmosphere!

El mejor ramen del mundo

No me puedo creer que no haya hecho review todavía. Llevo tanto tiempo cenando en Umami que es como su tuviera que evaluar mi propia casa.

Es el mejor vegano que he probado jamás. Y he probado muchos.

Me enganchó por el ramen, es de otro planeta. He viajado a diferentes países probando diferentes restaurantes y rámenes veganos. Mike es el mejor chef con diferencia.

Es perfecto para una cita, para ir solo/a y disfrutar en silencio, para ir con grupo de amigos…

Gran cocina, buen ambiente, servicio amable y atento, precios razonables… si pudiera cenaría cada día aquí.

Pros: La comida, El personal, El lugar

Crazy good

The expectations for what's described in many reviews as "the best vegan ramen they've ever had" were off the charts. Met 100%! It truly is the best ramen I've ever had, vegan and non-vegan. I can't even describe the flavours, textures and overall impression of it. I had the creamy mushroom option with crispy chicken skin (made from yuba). I'll dream about it for months, probably. The gyozas were insane, the amount of different flavours in such a small bite still blows my mind. The desserts were incredible, too. I'll definitely come back to try absolutely everything they offer.

Pros: All homemade ingredients, Absolutely delicious , Staff is the most attentive and friendly

Cons: A bit pricey, but so worth it

Stunning Ramen!!

How this place isn’t in the top rated vegan options in Barcelona I don’t know!! I had the mushroom ramen with extra “chicken” skin (made from Tofu skin I think they said) and it’s the BEST ramen I’ve had since being vegan. Flavoursome and delicious!!

Pros: All vegan, Lots of options, Great service

Cons: It’s not open on Sundays or Mondays 😭

El mejor ramen

Increíble. Cada ingrediente de cada plato es delicioso y hecho con cariño y artesanalmente. A parte de obviamente el ramen (que es el mejor que he probado nunca), me gustaría destacar también el crispy coliflor y el katsu seitán.

Pros: Los ingredientes de alta calidad, Buenas cantidades

The best ramen in Barcelona

My favourite ramen of the city. Book a week in advance to be sure to get a spot. It's often sold out. Take the thick noodles and add the crispy "chicken skin". The white wine is amazing (Albariño).

Ramen vegano de 10

El ramen es uno de mis platos favoritos y he de decir que este es uno de los mejores que he probado 100% vegano. Trato muy amable y atento. Con ganas de repetir para probar más platos.

Sabores intricados

Mucho más que ramen, todo casero y todo vegano. Me gusta mucho seguir Mike en instagram y ver todos los procesos detrás de la comida, desde su idea original hasta el producto final. La última vez que comí aquí fue un menú de degustación que me encantó.

Ramen sabroso

Hicimos unas gyozas de entrante, un ramen de setas con seitan y otro con tofu y de postre un cheesecake. Las gyozas estaban muy buenas y no tardaron nada en traerlas. El ramen estaba muy bueno, el caldo tenía mucho sabor y el tofu y el seitán estaban muy sabrosos. La pega esque tardaron más de 35 minutos en servirlos y no estaba especialmente caliente.
Aunque el personal fue muy amable en todo momento, la larga espera y detalles como no ponernos platos para comer el entrante o servilletas con el postre hicieron que la experiencia no fuera del todo agradable.

Pros: Dogfriendly, Opciones gluten free

Average

I got the mushroom ramen and was a little disappointed. It was very boring and just tasted a little off like slightly bitter?? Needed more sauce, seasoning, veggies, anything to add flavor. Hoping it was just an off day for them because the place was packed. It tasted “home made” but I just wasn’t impressed with the flavor.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Entre options are lacking other than ramen, Bland

Best ramen in town

This place is great. Their elaborated cuisine is very tasty.

I’ve been there when they were just doing pop-ups, and to the restaurant during their inauguration weeks.

we had the tasting menu, which included tantanmen ramen, ceviche, jackfruit baos, aubergine raviolo, and a cheesecake.

They nailed everything! And I loved the variety of dishes!

The service was great too.

Pros: original dishes, tasty, friendly staff

Cons: pricier than average

Truly authentic ramen

This is the best ramen we have had in Barcelona that lives up to the vegan ramen we had in Japan! Full of flavor and plenty of toppings, along with the tantanmen option which is always delicious ✨

Ps. Try the chocolate carob caramel dessert, it is heavenly!!!

Pros: Amazing ramen, Range of starters

Impressionant!

Restaurant 100% vegà situat a Gràcia.

És més que recomanable d'anar-hi perquè és excel·lent, de 10.

Boníssim, atenció molt bona, relació qualitat/preu (normal i assequible) també molt bona si tenim en compte l'excel·lència del menjar.

Updated from previous review on 2024-06-19

Pros: 100% vegà, Boníssim i creatiu, Atenció impecable

Cons: Poc horari d'oberura, tan sols vespres.

High expectations, good overall

So, the seitan was awesome, but the ramen (mushroom one) was very very salty (they write that you can just let them know and they'll fix it though😄). The added marinated tofu was not well done, it would be cool if they had fried tofu or something similar.
The noodles are fresh, but I had extremely high expectations for the ramen, which I often make by myself, and in my opinion it's good, but not a place where I would go unless I am close by. Service was slow, expected since they recently opened.

Great ramen & lovely place

The place and ambience is super lovely as well the waiters.
It’s not super big which makes it very cozy.
The menu is short which is imo always a good sign as they put all the quality in just a few dishes.
Exactly that happened for the ramen. Very tasty and a fair price.
We also had Gyoza for starter and they were ok. Don’t get me wrong, with ok I mean still good but nothing crazy imo.
But as said the ramen was very good and I can truly recommend this place, especially when u want to have a nice dinner with ur partner or friends.

Best vegan ramen

This is the best vegan ramen I have ever tried. I'm so happy they now have their own restaurant and this is no longer a pop-up!
The flavors are super complex and we'll developed. We also tried the dumplings which are delicious.
