Reviews Summary
Umaii Ramenbar is praised for its authentic-tasting ramen, often considered the best in Europe, and its creative fusion dishes. The city center location and friendly staff add to the positive dining experience. However, some reviewers found the broth flavors indistinct or the pork meat too fatty, and one user reported a negative experience with food quality and customer service.
"I liked that it was conveniently located in the city center and easy to find. We visited on Friday at 12:40 PM without a reservation, and fortunately, we were seated right away without any wait. The restaurant seemed to have put effort into creating a Japanese ambiance; it was well-organized, comfortable, and had a casual vibe. I appreciated that the menu displayed both the names and pictures of the dishes, making it easy to choose without much deliberation.
There were two of us, and we paid €45.90, which I think is a reasonable amount considering the taste of the food and the atmosphere. (Please refer to the attached photo for the menu items we ordered and their prices.) The flavor of the ramen was somewhat different from what I experienced in Japan, but it was still the most authentic-tasting Japanese ramen I've had among the ones I've tried in Europe. Now, whenever I crave Japanese ramen, I will definitely come back to this place.👍🏻"

"The interior of the restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly. It feels like they really tried to recreate an authentic Japanese atmosphere, but unfortunately, the taste didn’t match the vibe. I honestly couldn’t figure out what the broth was supposed to taste like—it was a complete mystery until the very last spoonful. Normally, I enjoy almost any kind of Japanese ramen, but this time I just couldn’t make sense of the flavor."

"An excellent place with the ocean Ramen. The duck Ramen was also very good. The portions are big, so would be sufficient for the lunch. The service was excellent."

Gastrotour: Ramen
Mit 14,20 bis 16,70 Euro sind die Ramen-Bowls hier nicht ganz günstig. Dafür bekommt ihr ein recht breites Angebot an verschiedenen Ramen – und das gilt auch für die Veggie-Ramen!. Wer mag, kann seine Ramen individualisieren und zum Beispiel andere Nudeln wählen oder das Haupttopping austauschen lassen.

This cute Ramen spot in city center was a little over priced, but solid for a quick bite. There were plenty of vegan options. Anastasia got the Yaki soka — ramen noodles with sesame, and I got the gyu beef ramen.
