You'll get some soup, hot sauce and kimchi (mmm) with that. Update: I tried the japche: 12 euros and great. - Health: A lot of vegetables and the meat is quite lean, also possibility of tofu. It's a heavy meal though, with the rice and egg in it. - Pleasure: Great mix of things, I love how they put a raw egg on top of it, because the pot is so hot, it will boil during eating. The still sizzlin' rice and sesame oil on the bottom get nice and crunchy. - Quantity: Really satisfying. - Variety: Like I said, you'll get a couple of veggies (spinach, soybean sprouts, ...), seaweed, kimchi, an egg and you can choose if you'd like meat or tofu with it.

Certainly to recommend for a nice change from the Centre however do not expect fancy authentic decoration. Food will be your main focus.

Okay, really a 3-star place but because this was exactly what we were looking for to satisfy our…read moreramen craving while abroad, it gains an extra star. A disclaimer: I realize that I'm probably spoiled by the mass of ramen joints that are in the Bay Area. As a result, I judge ramen places pretty highly. The 3-star rating is not to say that the ramen was terrible, but it is certainly not ranked among the best. Tonkotsu Ramen. Usually when I think of tonkotsu, I think of a rich and flavorful broth, as tonkotsu is traditionally stewed from pork bones for hours and hours. This broth fell a bit short of flavorful. The noodles, pork, and toppings were delicious (I always appreciate a perfectly soft boiled egg), but the broth is really what makes or breaks a ramen to me. Kara Miso Ramen. For those who like a bit of spice with their ramen. Or maybe not a bit of spice? I'm usually a super wimp when it comes to spice, and the slightest hint will have me reaching for a glass of water to rinse it all out. This one didn't do too much for me. I felt a little bit of heat lingering on my tongue afterwards, but I was expecting a bigger kick. The meat on this bowl was also a little dried out. I can definitely see why this place would do well in this neighborhood; it fulfills a need that is missing, which is exactly why we ventured into Umamido. Great for an area that is slim on authentic ramen choices; not so great for someone who comes from an area that is saturated with ramen.

My friend and I went and had their donburi bowls and were disappointed with our experience here…read more The food came out close to room temperature which ruined the experience of the dish for me, especially the egg topping which when cold gave the mixed together bowl a very unappealing texture. When the staff asked us how the meal was, we mentioned that the dish was pretty cold and they claimed that this was how donburi is served, which has been far from the case in my past experience with this dish. For the price we paid (17€ each bowl) this was a really unfortunate dining experience and I wouldn't recommend it. (Also if it matters to you for allergy reasons or other reasons they do not list all the toppings in the donburi bowls on the menu)

A whole shrimp on a skewer (yes, head and all!). I can't say that was a winner with me. I enjoyed my mint tea as well. Everyone at the table left satisfied.

One of the few Asian restaurants you will find here, they serve ramen and only ramen, except for a plate of gyoza I saw at the table next to me. There is a choice between 5 types and I went with the shio or natural flavor. It was slightly heavier than the normal shio broth but lighter than a traditional tonkatsu. It had all the right notes of umami. The noodles were handmade and slightly larger and softer than I generally like them but held the broth well. The perfect amount of toppings with an egg, charsiu, sprouts, bamboo shoots and spring onion. For €12 a bowl, it was excellent value. I would say the only thing that could help it land 5 stars would be a better ambiance. It was quiet as a library, no music and just a handful of customers for an early dinner. However I would definitely return to try another lovely bowl!

Kitchen is perfectly clean, neat and purposefully arranged for efficient cooking and serving. Staff speaks Japanese (except the two western ladies). All were very kind and the service was swift. I was a bit disappointed by the gyoza. They were good but a bit too greasy to my taste. It was prepared in front of my eyes (boiled then panned) and nothing noticeable happened. My Shoyu ramen with extra slices of pork was quite good but there again the soup base was a bit too oily/greasy to be perfectly to my taste. Bottom line, I'm giving a 4th star to the boss (I assume he was) because he speaks English and Korean (thumbs up), besides Japanese and was very nice with me. I will come back with friends and hope they will have fine-tuned the "greasy" part in the meantime.

We called on a Sunday to make reservations for the same night at 8 pm (FYI - ressos are important…read morein Brussels because once they're full, they're full - you can't even wait). We showed up at 7:30 to see if they would be able to seat us and they did. I initially found this place on Google because we needed some Chinese food and this place had good reviews/was close by our hotel. I'm not sure if the food was worth the 40 minute wait, but it satisfied the craving. We had the steamed pork dumpling. This was pretty meh - you could get similar quality in the freezer section. We then had the black pepper chicken. I was thankful for the huge portion but it was pretty salty. It definitely needed more than the bowl of rice it came with. Finally, the best dish of the night was beef chow fun. I didn't have high expectations for this one but it tasted pretty close to the ones at home in NYC, with plenty of wok hei. I'd definitely recommend this dish and if I were a betting woman, I would guess that their other noodle dishes might be pretty good too, so maybe just stick to those.

I think this is the best Chinese food in Brussels! Flavours…read moreand textures of each dish reminded me of my time in Shanghai. I intend to return often to sample many other dishes on the menu. Service was very friendly with a smile and good humour. We ordered more than we could eat and took food home. As leftovers at home, it tasted better than any take-out Asian food we have ever gotten. A true testimonial to the talented chefs! The restaurant is not large with seating for about 35. Indeed, the hostess/waitress had to turn away many clients during our dinner. Many Asian people at other tables along with a few tourists or local Europeans. I highly recommend this restaurant over any other Asian restaurant in the area. Location is near the bourse behind the Marriott hotel.
