Home of good Udon noddles - Edit
It’s a small and lovely restaurant. You can make reservations.
Read moreThe noodles were delicious. I chose the special udons with shiitake. The mushrooms had a good quality, I enjoyed the meal.
The basement is a bit cold. Sadly the toilets are there. Beside that I felt very well in here.
Payment with card available. Give Godzilla a coin!
Pros: Fully vegan

Authentic udon - Edit
When we first went there a few years ago, I was already raving about the udon.

The broth is incredibly rich and so delicious.
Be sure to try the daily special!

War gut/ok - Edit
Personal freundlich. Ich hatte das rote tantan udon. Die Brühe und die Nudeln waren lecker, die Seitan Scheiben habe mir nicht so gefallen und alles andere schmeckte zu sehr nach Kohl. Nächstes Mal versuche ich eine andere Suppe. Barzahlung möglich.

Best ramen I’ve had outside of JP - Edit
Maybe even best ramen ever as they specialise in vegan ramen specifically. I had the red tan tan and the daily salad. Incredibly flavourful and rich broth and fresh ingredients

So good - Edit
I had the Golden TanTan Udon and also tried some other items. Everything was delicious. Next time I'd add some extra crispy seitan slices to my soup because they're so tasty.

Herzensempfehlung - Edit
Ich war schon so oft hier und werde auch immer wieder kommen.
Read moreAbsolute Herzensempfehlung!
Es ist einfach alles super lecker.
Die Karte ist nicht super umfangreich, dafür aber mit wechselnden Suppen, Vorspeisen und Deserts - je nach Jahreszeit. Das gefällt mir und so probiert man immer mal wieder was Neues aus.
Da der Laden sehr klein ist, sind Reservierungen von Vorteil.

One of the best "Asian" restaurants in Germany - Edit
It is a bit hidden but worth a trip from the city centre and we quickly understood why it is so popular. Great atmosphere and many small objects and artworks to be admired. My non vegan friend also enjoyed his food very much. Only downside: a bit pricy
Read moreDespite being at full capacity, we didn't wait long for the food and the staff was friendly. Even after speaking in German with the staff, they offered us a menu in English when they heard my friend speak it. The negative reviews critiquing the owner and their political views seem more than unreasonable.

Good enough - Edit
Ambiente 9/10 very cute
Read moreFood: a little too expensive for the portion size, but there's limitless soy sauce. Milk in broth gave the whole thing some nice taste.
My friends food was a little tasteless, the broth didn't taste like much.
Would come here again if we were starving 💛
Pros: Waiting time, Only vegan options, Regional food ingredients
Cons: Prices, Lack in taste (a little bit)

Leider enttäuscht - Edit
War mein 2ter Besuch und scheinbar wurde hier stark abgebaut.
Read moreIch habe leider kein Verständnis dafür für Ramen länger als 40 Minuten warten zu müssen. In meinen Augen spricht das entweder für eine schlecht organisierte Küche oder eine viel zu kleine Küche um die Speisen angemessen vorbereiten zu können.
Geschmacklich solide. Weder besonders gut noch schlecht.
Der Flair des Ladens ist ebenfalls gewöhnungsbedürftig. Für links orientierte Menschen sicher ansprechend. Für ein Restaurant unpassend, da es an vielen Stellen ungepflegt aussieht.
Cons: Wartezeit
dk1one
Stimmt, Ziel der politischen Linken waren ja immer “ungepflegte” Restaurants, was auch “ungepflegt” in dem Kontext heißen sollte. Musst du halt zu Chè Merz in Abendsberg gehen, macht ihr einen schönen Stammtischabend und unterhaltet euch über “gepflegte”Orte und Werte.

Super Abend! - Edit
Super familiäre Atmosphäre, freundlicher Service. Waren zu Valentinstag da, war viel los, also Reservierung war nötig. Aber auch bei den Gäste, die nicht reserviert hatten, wurde sich darum bemüht alle unterzubekommen. Essen war super lecker und preiswert. Einrichtung super süß, gemütlich und bequem. Werden noch oft dorthin gehen. Super Abend!
