Portion sizes aren't exactly filling, so you might want to add an appetizer, at least. The Ramen taste very nice, yes. Still - I felt I paid too much for the experience... it works because there isn't big competition in Hamburg.

Coming from SF, I have rather high standards for ramen. The tonkatsu ramen at Kokomo came really…read moreclose and that's actually saying a lot for a ramen joint in Hamburg! The tonkatsu broth had the nice opaqueness, and tasted of that bony brothy-ness that makes your lips stick a little - that was good. What wasn't so good was it was a bit on the salty side. The noodles were great though - thick and chewy, and the char shu was tender and flavorful. Hubby got the Miso Tan Tan ramen which I actually liked more; it reminded me a little of mapo tofu with the slight Szechuan and spicy flavors. We also ordered the chicken Karage to start. Hard to go wrong with fried chicken. I do look forward to coming back here to try their other ramen.

I finally made it to Zipang.

The ramen were absolutely delicious and the eismochi was to die for, specially the mango one!! Service was very friendly and quick. Will be back many times.

Oh my gosh, I love this place so much…read more My husband and I are huge ramen fans, and this place never disappoints. We've been to several ramen restaurants in Düsseldorf, and Zipang may even be an inch above those. We usually get gyoza to start, which is perfectly cooked with a flavorful filling. The miso ramen is my go-to choice, and it's always perfect the way it is. I love the texture of the noodles and the flavor of the broth is so tasty. Mochi is a must for dessert. They sometimes switch up the flavors which is nice. I've had chocolate, vanilla, green tea, and black sesame. It can definitely get crowded in here, but I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a seat. The outdoor seating is nice in the summer, and I like the Japanese style of the indoor seating. Definitely looking forward to exploring the menu more and coming again and again!

The place has a very fun atmosphere with plenty of seating. Many tables were taken, showing it's popularity among all types of people. The food they had sitting in front of them not only looked amazing, but smelled heavenly. What we were all surprised by when we ordered our food was how fast this place is. Even in a group about 12 people, our food basically followed our drinks out the door to us on the patio. It was crazy. And everything was hot, flavorful, and left no one hungry. I personally got some appetizers and a Hugo spritz. The drink was so refreshing and though larger than what I might typical at a restaurant, I found a little expensive. The pork gyoza was stellar, but I found the summer rolls really needed the sauce they were served with to help them with flavor. Over all it was a lovely evening and I wish I had found it sooner. I will have to come back to try a little bit of everything on the menu! Please note, this place only takes cash which I found very surprising. So be warned before coming!

Minimalist interior, Japanese staff, Japanese guests, and very tasty Japanese food that is worth every cent. I had the seafood salat as a starter and a sushi and sashimi mix for my main. Super fresh fish, very tasty and nicely textured rice (which is really important for good sushi), and good service. I'll definitely come back for some Udong noodles and some grilled dishes.

The food was delicious for me (a noodle soup), though average for my friend (cooked vegetables). Appetizers and desert were awesome too. Overall I can't give 5 stars because of the service: the girls seemed to be busy with paperwork, I don't know if we were unlucky or if this is a regular thing. Still a very good addition to any foodie map. (it seems to be a good idea to make a reservation first - though there was no answer when we tried)
