"Had edamame and chicken gyoza starters which were delicious, followed by a great tomkotsu ramen. Egg was slightly overcooked but the chashu pork was some of the best I've had, noodles and broth also really nice"

"Hidden ramen gem in Bern! Extremely delicious, catering to European tastes with a light umami broth, fresh noodles, and tender roasted pork—not too spicy and perfectly balanced!"

"Really impressive. The food was excellent, especially the Tonkatsu Ramen, which tasted genuinely authentic. The owner mentioned how much time and effort went into perfecting the broth, and it truly comes through. Of all the places I’ve tried Japanese food in Switzerland, this one stands out the most so far. The location is thoughtfully designed—lively, welcoming, and professionally run. Being able to see into the kitchen adds a nice touch of atmosphere. With everything done so well, it’s difficult to find anything to criticize. I would definitely come again. A well-deserved five stars."

"My boyfriend took me here for a lovely date on my birthday. The restaurant is a bit hidden away, but we found it easily. The place is very nice and cosy. The waitresses were very friendly. We had karaage as a starter, which was delicious! Then we had ramen, meat and duck as our main course, which were also delicious. The broth was flavourful and the noodles were very good too. My boyfriend had never eaten ramen before and fell in love with it! For dessert, we had dorayaki, which was bigger than we expected but very good! We will definitely be back!"

"We ate ramen tonkatsu and some starter and it was well presented & tasty. The lady who served us was very nice and helpful. Quite difficult to find the restaurant for first time, the entrance is from a side of one industrial building. Now we know where to return."
