A small ramen restaurant in a quiet central neighborhood. There’s limited space inside, but during warm weather, you can sit on the terrace. The food is delicious, though some dishes are quite spicy 🌶️ The fried broccoli and grilled shrimp are especially tasty. Service is fast, and the staff are friendly.

I might say that this is my favourite restaurant in Riga and best ramen that I've tried so far in Europe. Went to some other well known ramen shops in other countries, but honestly this one takes the crown. Very nice, appreciative staff and very welcoming. The cheesecake also tasted delightful. 😊

Delicious, flavorfull food along with a comfortable and authentic atmosphere! Nice, communicative stuff. Had an appetizer of a salmon tatami(, ramen and a dessert(amazing). However, not much additives(even with extras) and too much noodles. Affordable(for two persons, I spent 60€) Other than that, everything was quite good👍🍜🍤

The food here was fresh and delicious. I would recommend booking in advance as they were only just able to seat us when they did, which was very accommodating of the staff there. The tantanramen was delicious and on par with other tantanramens I have tried. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and would recommend others to try this restaurant.

Amazing experience 5/5 Great food, atmosphere and service. Ramen is very well priced and absolutely delicious. Waitress was superb, very friendly and she answered all our questions! You need to book in advance, due to high demand. I would say it will be difficult to get a table without booking, unless you are very lucky. Highly recommend 🍜

So glad I could have a table there during my 3 days vacay in Riga. The ramens are pretty good especially the soup. Cannot remember the name of the starter but it’s very good. The matcha latte is pretty normal but it’s the restaurant not the coffee shop so no complaints 😅

I wanted to love this ramen spot. It was Michelin Bib Gourmand, after all. I went for a simple, quick ramen lunch, but got pulled in by the wagyu offering. The waiter informed me that the €40 bowl of ramen didn't include a marinated egg and offered to add one for an extra charge. I figured if I was already dropping the €40 on a single bowl, I might as well. I was a bit disappointed that most of the ramen was made with chicken & dashi, as that's a really poor base for an umami-rich broth. I decided to start with gyoza, as you should with ramen. These were decidedly bland and served with teriyaki sauce, which made them feel like they came from a generic Asian fast food stall. I skipped finishing them to not fill up before the ramen. The ramen arrived and was beautifully presented. The wagyu ramen is served with a sidectray to dip the wagyu into egg yolk (again with teriyaki) and salt. This was okay, but kinda weird to fish your wagyu out of a bowl to dip. The kicker for me was receiving a bowl of pretty luke-warm ramen. The extra egg was served cold, as was the wagyu. The broth wasn't hot or plentiful enough to cook the meat or keep the bowl hot. The wagyu quality was great, but there is a reason why I have never seen this kind of offering. It was awkward & didn't enhance the ramen. I really enjoyed the ramen toppings, including creative adds like fried onions, but I couldn't get over the sub-par temperature and the fact the broth was very much lacking the consistency and umami of a pork broth base. I even stirred it thinking the tare might have not gotten mixed well. It was good, but not nearly what I would expect from a place with such a Michelin recognition. Maybe I should have ordered Tonkotsu to get a more standard bowl.

I am a big foodie! And this is one of my favourite restaurants in Riga. Outstanding ramen’s, friendly staff, exclusive cocktails, warm atmosphere… Always trying specials. Today we had octopus ramen! As always Yuuuum!!! Highly recommend little cute place ❤️
