Genki Ramen - Miso Ramen mit Lava-Ei

Genki Ramen

(5 reviews)

Genki Ramen is a cute ramen spot in Essen. The team is Chinese but the ramen chef speaks (and looks…read morea bit) Japanese. While this is not the best ramen I've ever had, it's pretty good for outside of Japan here in Germany. An extra star for the service as he was really nice. Don't expect the perfect Japanese ramen here but it is very good. The noodles and broths are made fresh by the team and were very good. I always get tonkatsu, but they just have shio, shoyu, and miso. We tried the shio and miso and both were very good. Neither were too salty. The noodles tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. The pork was very good although could be a bit softer. The gyouza were decent but fresh. They could have been cooked a bit longer, and the sauce was too watered down for my taste. It would be nice if they have normal ramen spoons as the big one is a bit hard to use but I guess they want it to look cool. Overall, it is an excellent ramen spot in Germany. Come here if you are missing ramen. If you haven't tried real Japanese ramen before, come here to check it out (also, it's the perfect remedy for hangovers!).

I regret giving Genki Ramen such a low score because I want to support Asian restaurants in the…read moreneighborhood, but this one just isn't good. I've had my fair share of ramen across Asia, the US and here in Germany. I ordered the karaage miso ramen, which to me is a very standard dish. Positives: the karaage (fried chicken) was well done and a decent portion size. Negative: the broth was the biggest culprit. A good ramen broth is flavorful and complex, this was neither. I ordered the miso ramen, which should have a strong soybean taste, but this didn't even taste like miso. It was bland. The second culprit was the noodles. They should be a balance of soft and chewy, and these were almost gooey. Not good. When you walk in, place an order, and they tell you it'll be ready in 5 minutes, that's a warning sign. Good food shouldn't be that fast.
