Simple but elegant interior , with delicious Japanese food . The salmon salad was amazing. The only downside was that I ordered an almond pudding that tasted sour. Staff offered our desserts for free.

Try Tako Gari: pickled octopus and ginger (photo). And definitely ice cream - I had the following: black sesame (very good), ginger (excellent!), and wasabi (divine!!!).

Andreea Arcaleanu

The location is great! Super service, nice personnel and super delicious food! And above all amazing Japanese food (noodles , the most delicious salmon ever tried), the ice cream is just mind blowing!

Ronald Cattrysse

The ramen is great; if you want the fullest taste, definitely go for the negi-kara. The gyozo is also great, don’t forget a scoop of black sesame ice cream before leaving!

Jean Roebben

Lovely atmosphere & dito staff . Great food, although, next time I won't go for the cold beef ramen again (but that's personal taste). My wife had cold salmon ramen , very good!

Pripri

Try the Gyoza - they are simply the best! Good Japanese food , very trendy and friendly service . Quite popular so you might have to wait to get a table during peak times at lunch .

Alexandros Plexidas

Stands out always for its minimal style, the amazing quality and the good service . All ramens are nice but you should also try the gyūdon and the tuna sashimi .

S Marks The Spots

Very good ramen - no sushi here! Try the gyoza (dumplings served with a dipping sauce ), the ginger-spiced octopus salad and the ginger ice cream . Make sure you book in advance. Read more

Hurray for Kokuban, a demonstartion that a japanese restaurant in Brussels can have great food at a reasonnable price, a nice deco and a kind service all together... It's a strike! Exquisite gyosas .

Erika

Japanese Ramen restaurant . I think it is the best Ramen restaurant in Brussels. I always choose Shoyu (soy sauce ) Ramen , Yakibuta (steamed pork ), and Gyoza . :)

Anar Kučera

An absolute must for Ramen lovers! Also delicious and perfectly spiced kimchi .

NAm Simonis

Amazing non-sushi japanese food : ramen , noodles , gyoza , smooth sake ... Try 'karaage ramen ' or more surprising 'hiyashi chûka' fresh and tasty cold noodles with the home roiboos ice tea !!!

DM COLL

Ramen are delicious ! Friendly atmosphere . Love it and have to go back

ALPHA GEEK

Especially during the Summer season, Cold Ramen is one of the best chooses. Let's give it a try. :)

Stephen ????????????????????????????????????????????

Gyoza and ramen are very good, sadly you don't get much in the way of protein so I don't come here as often as I would otherwise do, a few very thin slices of pork just isn't satisfactory!

Michiel Noens

My favorite japanese noodles place in Brussels! Best to get there just before the noon rush, because they don't take reservations !

Adam Nowek

Creative and fashionable Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices. The ramen is especially delicious.

Julie F

Amazing ramen in a trendy setting. Make sure to come early or make a reservation .

Iwana Krzeptowski

Perfect place to have a nice bowl of ramen and some gyozas :) don't forget to try some dessert !

Ramen soup and Gyozo is awesome! Fair price ????????

Thijs Niks

Great and affordable Japanese ramen . Don't skip on dessert : mochi ice cream !

Eunice Wells

Service can be VERY slow on busy nights so don't plan anything afterwards! And you may have to wait to be seated so it's better to have a reservation , and dine earlier.

Tegethoff Peter

Very good food in a nice environement for a good price. Love it! Try everything ;)

Stijn H

Excellent japanese food ! Expect to queue, but it's worth it! Oh, and they have black sesame icecream !

Eveline N

Erwin Vanhecke

Lovely karaage ramen and nice and quick service .

Joe Lipper

Chicken ramen was excellent. So was the beef over rice .

Sugandh Dhawan

Gyoza and ramen are pretty amazing.

Francois Hanneuse

The atmosphere is really nice and it is not expensive but I personaly prefere ramen from Yamato. It would be great if they do also different dishes that noodles like teishoku.

Caro Schiefer

Meal was good however for the amount it was kind of expensive . Service could be better - was there alone for dinner and that seemed to be a problem for them..

Idioot

Try the gyoza . Good ramen . Fair prices .

EV Me

Gyudon is very tasty, a great choice, even though the meat looks no so attractive at 1st!

Cher CH

the 4sq info is not up-to-date, there is wifi now and the password is GYOZA

TAGAWA

Good Ramen noodle restaurant . Try Karaage ramen !

avaveen

Smart, there are hooks on the side of the high tables to hang your coats and bags.

Burak Hasserbetci

Try at least once Ramune for the sake of the fancy bottle !!

Celia Wilem

Salade d'algues - Gyoza - Udon : trio gagnant !
