I ordered a pot of green tea and ramen chasu and very quickly devoured my food before my Uber came to pick me up. The food and service were excellent! It was a very crowded restaurant, and the wait was a bit long, but the food was incredibly delicious! I just wished that I had more time to enjoy the food. The ramen broth was really good (not salty like some places) and the noodle texture was just right!

Definitely a hidden gem to seek out if you're in Lyon!

(Not that we set our standard high, during our 2weeks in France, we had ate Ramen in Nice and it's way way better than this.

We loved the chashi and wakame ramen, and tonkatsu!

I saw a review that showed this place has it, and at a reasonable price so I was convinced. When I arrived I opted for the 3 course menu, but it seemed that you cannot order curry as a plat, and instead must order ramen or a cutlet as a plat. It's okay, I see that as an entree they offer a demi curry, so I can still satiate my jap curry craving. For the plat I choose Tonkotsu ramen, which had me worried because it wasn't even spelled correctly, and when a ramen shop offers a variety instead of one specialized, they tend to all be terrible. Not the case here! Dessert I the server choose apple gyoza for me. The curry was incredible, immediately upon placing in from of me, the smell took me back to Japan. I'll return for a curry dish before I leave Lyon. The tonkotsu ramen broth was phenomenal, a bummer the yolk in the egg was fully cooked. There only true problem with this dish was that the noodles were overcooked. When you make ramen you already account for a smaller cook time on noodles do to then continuing to cook and bloat in the broth. Not only was this not accounted for, but they were lifelessly over cooked noodles. If this were a pure ramen shop, minus 2 stars immediately. Alas, I forgive them this time. I will simply requested my noodles barely cooked in the future. The apple gyoza were okay, not incredible, but okay. All of this for 14.50€ If you're wondering why I chose 5 stars for this, it's because the curry and the tonkotsu broth were phenomenal. Could the curry have been out of s box? Maybe. Doesn't matter, still great.

Very cute, colourful place with a casual vibe. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food. We both got the shoyu (soy based) ramen, and were impressed when it came out. They had all the trimmings right - bean sprouts, bamboo, egg, seaweed, fish cake, roast pork, and very generous portions of noodles. While the broth isn't as good as the best we've had (because that was in Japan), for a Western version we were very impressed. Anywhere with generous noodle portions is a win in my book. We both really enjoyed the change of flavour, and were impressed by such a big bowl of tasty food for such a good price. Lyon has some of the best food in the world, but if you just can't bear another heavy, meaty meal, treat yourself to a nice bowl of ramen here.
