Incredible Ramen! - Edit
We ate at Men Impossible on a recent trip to Amsterdam. You need to book for dinner at this small, single-handed restaurant run by the amazing Atsushi.
You are welcomed with a free complimentary drink of your choice and then you order your food based on a point system.
We ate the gorgeous hot noodles and the cold noodle dish served with delicious mushroom soup.
The restaurant is stylish and understated at the same time and Atsushi is just a powerhouse of dedication to great plant based food.
Pros: central location, huge portions, delicious food
Cons: more time between starter and main

Amazing noodles - Edit
Really special place. Tiny - one big table - and very limited menu, especially at lunchtime, but what they do they do brilliantly.
There was a choice of 3 ramen dishes (black garlic sauce, chilli oil or super spicy) with green tea and miso soup. We tried the black garlic and super spicy options, both really delicious. Ramen noodles freshly made with all kinds of delicious, umami flavours. The super spicy wasn't all that hot if you like spicey food, but really yummy!
Would like to go back in the evening when there are a few more options
Pros: superb freshly made ramen

Very filling and delicious! - Edit
Super leckeres Essen und sehr sattmachend.
Mindestverzehr von 25€ (man sucht sich aus verschiedenen Speisen mehrere aus). Es ist aber auch möglich weniger zu verzehren und den Restbetrag zu spenden (für einen guten Zweck), da es wirklich sehr satt macht!
Sehr zu empfehlen! Ein Muss für euren Amsterdam-Trip :)
Pros: Alles vegan
Cons: nicht sehr günstig (Mindestverzehr), aber ist auf

Excellent ramen - Edit
The reservation was easy to make via sms.
Personally I didn't know what to expect from 'ramen', now it was an excellent experience, you shouldn't be disappointed if you like Japanese and vegetables.
The great table is very nice creating some nice dialog with people in the restaurant.
The owner is very friendly and very helpful.
Overall great experience.
Pros: Excellent ramen, Nice place, Friendly staff
Cons: None

Amazing well priced japaneese concept restaurant! - Edit
I was so happy to find this concept restaurant right in the center of Amsterdam. For 25 Euros for dinner and 17 Euros for lunch you can have a 3 course Japaneese Raman noodle vegan menu with drinks included. You need to phone and to reserve a table as the owner is the only staff member so that he can accomodate you but I called with 30 minutes notice on a Friday evening and it was fine. If you are in Amsterdam yoi really need to try this place!
Pros: fully vegan, organic, sustainable, non MSG, well
Cons: none. I'll be back.

Best ramen ever! - Edit
It feels like you’re dining at a friends house which was really cosy and a cool new experience for my! The starter (lentel meatballs) where excellent, and main dish (mushroom ramen) were very creamy and delicious. Easy the best I had, definitely will come back.
Pros: ramen, venue , service

Everything about this place oozes relaxation. I think there’s one guy running the whole place and he’s very chill and polite. There’s not a lot of options but the food tastes great. Vegan ramen, yumm.
Pros: Great taste, Kind and polite staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: A little expensive, about 25 euros pp

Very good ramen, very nice atmosphere! - Edit
I can be very short about this restaurant: the ramen here is amazing, very nice atmosphere and a very friendly and helpful owner/ host/ cook (when I was there the place was a one-man-business).
So don't hesitate and go eat there!
(Make sure to make a resevation first through the FB-page)
Pros: Good good, nice vibe, reasonable price
Cons: Make a reservation!

Amazing restaurant. - Edit
We came here for a lunch on the last day of our trip. The food was the best we had in Amsterdam so we came back for a dinner as well!
There are only few options in the menu but don't let it bother you as the ramen is one of the best vegan ramens you can find anywhere (even in Japan).
The dish is quite different from a regular ramen so come open minded.
Both me and my wife could'nt decide if the dinner ramen was better than the lunch one as both dishes were very unique and full of flavours.
The place itself is clean and nicely decorated with one big table for all the guests to share which we liked but might not be everyone's cup of tea.
We made a reservation through the restaurant Facebook page as its only open at particular hours.
Pros: unique atmosphere, hand made noodles, reasonably p

Simple but amazingly good - Edit
I stopped here for lunch while wandering through Amsterdam after seeing it on Happycow. The place was empty so I got to chat a bit with the owner who was incredibly nice. Apparently he started doing lunch only very recently and was even surprised that I had heard of the place. What I can say for sure though, is that stopping here was more than worth it. The lunch menu is different than the dinner menu. It consists of two choices. Either ramen noodles cooked with (black) garlic oil or (red) chili oil. I chose the black garlic oil, which was amazing. It was served with various vegetables and mushrooms, not in a soup as is usually done with ramen, and as is done in the evening, but more like a traditional pasta dish. I was also given a bit of miso soup on the side. I can really recommend this place. The owner is nice and the food is great and affordable.
Pros: Fully vegan delicious food, Nice owner, Affordable
Cons: None

Thick ramen soup - Edit
3 Soups(tomato, spicy tomato, creamy mashroom) were all unusual flavors for ramen, but all very tasty. Spelt wavy noodles were also very good.
No baby chairs, but cushions. We went with a 4yo, and he was served with about 2/3 portions of an adult, and the owner was kind enough to add the 1/3 to our dishes. And because we went before 6pm, child was free of charge.
One big table to share, which enabled us to have a good chat with people sitting in the next chair.
Pros: All organic, all plant based, cozy atmosphere, han

Extremely tasty food & cosy atmosphere - Edit
Sweet ramen joint with one set menu. The venue is quite unique, it feels more like someone's living room than a restaurant. There's one long table so you all sit together which feels super friendly and relaxed. You have to book before you arrive and it seems to fill up really quickly, so make sure you're organised about coming here! There's a set menu of starter and ramen but you can choose between two different soups to go with your noodles. The food is just absolutely excellent, so many subtle but complicated tastes, deliciously chewy noodles and the perfect portion size. I would say it's one of the best ramen I've ever had. I really hope they expand their menu a little in future and they could do with having some more help when it starts to get busy but really a lovely, interesting and delicious place. Recommend!
Pros: Super friendly staff, Delicious food
Cons: Expensive for what it is

A gem of a place - Edit
Couldn't have been more happy to find this place on happy cow...the restaurant is very chilled and
the host/chef Atusushi was lovely. Now onto the food; the set menu idea is great, the ordering system seamless, the food was crazy good. I am a huge fan of ramen and this was some of the best I have had. Please visit this place and you won't regret it.
Pros: Great ramen, Relaxing atmosphere , Amazing host
Cons: None

Great vegan ramen @ lovely restaurant, very friendly! - Edit
Lovely restaurant, having just one big table of maximum 19 people, basically next to the kitchen! The fixed starter vegan yakitori was really yummy! The vegan ramen were very good, we had the mushroom soup variant, which was a delicious combination, especially after adding the black garlic oil halfway eating the dish. Very friendly owner/cook/waiter, all-in-one :)
Would really recommend to go and eat there!
Pros: Great vegan organic food!, Great atmosphere!, Very friendly!
Cons: We tried to name any cons, but we can't! :)
