We each had a big bowl of ramen with 2 different types of pork. The noodles were al dente and in very high quality. The broth was delicious and it had no MSG. We had the pork gyozas and it was hot made but not from frozen packages. The service was good as the servers speak English, French, and Japanese. If you want a break from all the delicious French food this is a good stop.

This turned out to be a surprisingly great meal for me. Missing some basics of Japanese cuisine I…read morewas really in the mood for sooner Japanese curry (yes, it is different). 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.

Maybe it's unfair of me to review Chez Fyfy, because I've only been once, and I didn't have sushi…read more I actually went because I'd heard they had great ramen (and I'm on a ramen hunt) but they didn't, so I went for the gyoza. It's the kind of place that you might grab takeout from if you live nearby (I don't.) It's typical - not bad, not exceptional. But after I paid the bill for a ravioli menu (heads up: "ravioli" here means potstickers or gyoza) I wasn't sure that it was really a 13 euro meal I had just eaten. A little salad, miso soup, a bowl of rice and a plate of pretty good gyoza; was this the best lunch idea I've ever had? Probably not. They were crowded though, so clearly they have fans! Watch out if you're sitting by the door on a cold day - the waitstaff comes in and out between the two parts of the restaurant frequently, so you might get hit with the occasional draft. En gros: Typique, rien d'exceptionnel, mais pas mal du tout.

Tuna) - Was told the place had good ramen but was not on menu. - Colleagues were sarisfied with grilled menus, so I guess that's what you should go for rather than the so-so nigiri. - On the other hand I and my colleagues have tried several sushi spots in town, none were great so far, so overall average for town. Lyon isn't a port so I guess that's what we get.
