Muku

As a sucker for ramen, I’ve tried pretty much every second ramen place in Germany even Düsseldorf. In Frankfurt-Mainz area I’ve tried every ramen place even the newly opened ones. When I was in Japan I was mainly hunting for ramen from the ranking list called RamenDB. I’ve tried the no 1 ramen in Japan which was literally out of this world (not exaggerating), but I can say that I know what the standard of a good ramen is. Muku is by far the best ramen I’ve had in Germany. My favorite is their Tonkotsu Ramen, even though I usually love Tsukemen more. There is a newly opened ramen in Berlin which I haven’t tried and supposedly resemble Ichiran Japan, however until I try that one, Muku is still the best in Germany. The only downside of it is the portion size of the ramen. It’s pretty small and a bit expensive. But for the quality, I always come back. I also especially love their sashimi rice bowl that they typically suggest before eating the ramen. Again here I know the standard of a good sushi since I’ve tried one of the best tuna sushi in Japan, which was the only time I cried of happiness because of food😅 Anyway, their sashimi bowl is heavenly good for Germany. Their other appetizers never really fail too, but I love their sashimi bowl and ramen the most, and I think it’s the best price-performanc-ratio-wise. Make sure to come 30 mins before their opening time on Saturday for the lunch time, line up and register your name, because they only offer Ramen in the afternoon and you can’t reserve a table for lunch time.

The restaurant is really beautiful and service is very lovely!⭐ Ramen is okay. Not my cup of tea, since I prefer more normal to al dente noodles (kansetsu or futsuu) and more meat on my Tonkotsu Ramen. I know you can add meat, but think for the price, only one piece is a bit disappointing :(. I have been there twice so I got to try many different options. In my opinion it's too overpriced for what it delivers and would opt for other Ramen restaurants in the city.

The food was absolutely delightful, and the ambiance truly whisked me away to Japan. Every bite was a reminder of the rich flavors and traditions, making the experience all the more special. I felt as if I were dining in a cozy Tokyo eatery, surrounded by the warmth of Japanese culture.

Had Ramen & mini bowl for lunch. Wonderful taste for both of them! Since price is quite high, put 4 stars but worth to visit if you want to get a real Ramen from Japan

The ramen was delicious, the food was of Japanese quality, and the staff were very attentive.

I had the pleasure of dining at Muku in Frankfurt today, and I must say, it was an absolutely outstanding experience. I went alone, but from the moment I stepped in, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and warm—I’ve never felt so well taken care of in a restaurant before. The food was simply exceptional, bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. Every bite was a delight. On top of that, the ambiance was beautiful, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I honestly can’t find a single negative thing to say, even if I tried. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend Muku to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit so special!

The food was truly incredible. Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. The value for price is very good and there was nothing we could complain about. This is no doubt one of the best Japanese restaurants we have dined in.

One of my favorite ramen restaurants in the world, and quality is on par with some of the better ramen I’ve had in Japan (and beats a lot of others). Visited 3 years ago in 2021 and again in December 2024, and the food was just as good as I remembered. Ordered the Muku ramen (a mix of chicken and pork bone broths) and the tonkatsu ramen (pork bone broth), and both were so flavorful. One additional aspect that stands out about this restaurant’s ramen is how the noodles actually carry so much of the broth’s flavor. For dessert, ordered the black sesame ice cream (and had actually been looking forward to having this again for a while now). If we had more time, would have loved to order from the more expansive menu. Muku imports high quality sakes, and also offers a wide selection of tapas - done so to emulate how in Japan, there’s a culture of drinking, sharing tapas, and then finishing the night with a hearty bowl of ramen (except now you can do all the above at one establishment). Loved how the tapas are organized on the menu across two axis - level of aroma, and level of richness.
