This place is a small hidden gem near Messe. It's real deal ramen with delicious broth and noodles at a reasonable price. I got the Miso aka chatsu ($14). Nice and red in color from the chili, 4 slices of pork and tastefully garnished with green onion and seaweed. I loved the ramen bowl so much (it is a lot of food!), I ordered in reverse and got an appetizer plate of pork dumplings afterwards. Also delicious! The ambience is modern and intimate with very attentive servers. I will definitely be back! Pro tip: Come early! I came at 6:05pm on a Wednesday. They open at 6pm and it was already busy. By the time I left around 7pm, it was completely full. Make sure you get there early or reserve a table beforehand!
Fantastic restaurant! While my hubby worked, a friend and I walked to this eatery from our hotel, only about 10 minutes. It was cold and raining, so perfect weather for hot ramen! We did not have reservations (Germany is BIG on reservations, FYI) but only had to wait about 15 minutes. Keep in mind that this place is tiny and it was packed, but fortunately, the window had a ledge where we could sit and not have to wait outside. Our waiter was super friendly and gave us English menus. There were a couple of vegetarian ramen options (always appreciated) and I chose the spicy version. "Spicy" to those in Germany is mild to us, so when it arrived I immediately asked for some Togarashi to add. The waiter's face lit up, as if he is hardly ever asked for this, and it was brought quickly. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with a nice hearty chew to them. It was plentiful with mushrooms, avocado, onions and tomato. Comforting and yummy! My friend enjoyed her pork ramen, as well. BTW, menus are offered in German, English and Japanese, and the employees were all Japanese, so you know it is going to be authentic. Definitely recommend when in Frankfurt!
Everything about this experience was top notch! Even though I came at an extremely busy time and the line was curling out into the street, I was seated extremely quickly and in an extremely friendly manner. At first I was worried because I was seated at the counter, but the counter has a good amount of space and it was not uncomfortable at all. The waitresses and waiters speak German, Japanese, and English, and I had no problem ordering in Japanese. I ordered a vegetarian miso ramen, and it came out quickly, hot, and delicious! I was so full by the end of it that I didn't want anything else! Even though they were extremely busy, the service was great, and the atmosphere was not rushed. You really got the feeling of being at an authentic restaurant. Definitely going to come by again next time I come to Frankfurt!
One word to describe this place, yummy :-) I saw this place a couple of days ago and been wanting to try it. Not having had ramen in a while in Germany it was hard to pass up the chance to come and try it. It's a small place and like most places in Japan, lots packed into a small place. Tables for about 20-25 people and a counter with 6-8 seats. It was packed when we got in during lunch hour but a table was available shortly after we arrived. The staff are extremely polite and in true Japanese fashion very courteous and quick. They have a lot of ramen choices and a selection of broths. I decided to try their new Superscharf Tonkatsu Ramen. They have a few small starters also on the menu and a couple of other things. The matcha tea here is also very good. My noodles were cooked to perfection and the sauce was spicy but not too bad. I could have had it spicier. The broth was packed with flavour and tasty. The only downside here is the price, a bit expensive for what it is. Hence the 4 stars. Having said that, I would happily come here any day. It's great food made fresh and served quickly. It's a great stop for lunch or dinner.
Very delicious! The noodles were amazing and we loved that you could pick whether you wanted your noodles more soft or hard. The broth was also excellent and I was so happy to see that they served pickled eggs! Really recommend this place for Ramen in Frankfurt!! Be sure to reserve beforehand, otherwise you will be put on a waiting list.
I wanted a ramen fix in Germany but was sadly disappointed with this awful experience. Initially I was suppose to go to Takumi but decided to give this place a chance. Ordered the karage and sadly it did not come with the tasty japanese mayo, just a slice of lemon to give it some citrus flavor. The ramen itself was uneventful and not worth returning. Not coming back here again. Takumi, I'll see you soon!!!
Very attentive staff!! Friendly and helpful. The chicken nanban don was not that fantastic, chicken was nice but the rice was too dry. Ramen was good, requested for richer soup with harder noodles and order came as requested. Soup base was nice. More room for improvement for their Chashu and boiled egg. Overall, it was nice. Especially a place like Frankfurt....
First off: I have no clue what authentic ramen tastes like but I imagine it's somewhat like what they sell at Ramen Jun. I came here with my friend V. for lunch on a Thursday. The weather was dreary, so perfect for soups and such. Both of us ordered a green tea; food-wise I went for the MISO AKA (Red) with thick noodles and strong flavor while my friend decided on the MISO AKA Deluxe. The service was very quick. Our tea arrived after 2 minutes and we had food on the table after 10 minutes. I really liked my bowl - the broth had a lot of flavor and depth, the noodles were cooked well and the meat was very yummy too. My friend also enjoyed her bowl, but found the broth a bit salty. This is great place for lunch if you are under a time constraint - we were in and out in 45 minutes without having to rush. I am planning to return to try more options on the menu.
I just realized I have not yet reviewed Ramen Jun and I went there shortly after their grand opening here in Frankfurt. Aghhhh.... Ramen Jun was a very hyped place amongst Frankfurt foodies prior to opening. Sometimes I will get so excited about a place opening that once it opens I find myself not being able to get there for a month or two afterwards because I hate overly crowded places. This was the case with Ramen Jun. I finally ended up there really late one night and the crowds had left and we had the place to ourselves except for one or two other patron. Score :) The ramen here is as tasty as it gets for Ffm. Frankfurt's ramen scene is decent enough despite their sushi scene lacking a punch. As a ramen person, this makes my heart pretty happy. Ramen Jun is located close to where I live, I just can't afford to eat there all that often as it is a pretty price (well over 10 euros for many concoctions). The service here was great and welcoming. My onlyyyyy complaint were the noodles. I like different varieties of noodles in my ramen, but for some reason, these ones left me a bit unimpressed. The broth was so complex and flavorful that the lackluster taste and texture of the noodles didn't pair too well. I actually think the noodles were just overcooked or something that night. Maybe because it was late I got a bad batch. I'm sure the noodles are fine on other instances. Anyways, while I loved this place, I kind of always forget to go back here (although my boyfriend has gone on more than one occasion with others). It is so close that it is remiss of me to forget about how good their ramen is. I'm sure I'll be back soon!
Oh yeah! This tiny place is a short walk from a major indoor food market, and it's absolutely worth a try. We wandered in just looking for some simple ramen, and left with full bellies and eyebrows arched out of surprise. I had a simple chicken and rice bowl, and my friend had the vegetarian ramen. We were both skeptical about a vegetarian ramen, but WOW! I had to steal a few spoonfuls of the broth to pour over my rice, and it was a great decision. This was my first time having a chicken bowl and I never suspected such a small dish could have such a mighty impact on my palate. It's a simple chicken and rice bowl, with fantastically simple yet elevated flavors (great texture on the chicken). Absolutely put this place on your list the next time you're in the Altstadat area. read more
Place is small but food comes out fast. I arrived a minute before the place reopens (or so I think) in the afternoon (which is 5:30pm) and they were almost full. There were kind enough to put me at the bar. I got the Tonkotsu ramen with Chili oil and it was divine and bursting with flavor. Noodles were done perfectly and I had a marinated egg that was cooked to perfection. There was a line of people outside waiting when I was done. Really glad I came since I had a taste for Tonkotsu since Ichiran in NYC. read more

Very cool small ramen house. I had for lunch gyoza that were excellent and the miso ramen. The soup was very flavorful and the ramen was good though I prefer a bit more Al Dente. read more
Great Japanese ramen place close to the train station. Founded and operated by Japanese folks. The chef was able to deliver authentic Japanese cuisine flavors. Went there twice in 2017 and 2018 - very consistent high quality. read more

Ramen Jun is truly wonderful! This is the third time I have had ramen, and it was certainly the best at Ramen Jun. The restaurant is compact, but I was able to get a seat at the bar during a busy lunchtime with no wait- it may be a bit harder for a group. They had an English menu and the staff spoke English so this was very helpful for me; further, they were extremely friendly and kind! I ordered the Kuro tonkatsu and it had a savory depth that was delicious- like a comfort food! More noodle than meat in the "normal", but you can order versions with more meat if that is your preference. I am not a huge fan of spicey food and was very relieved this was savory instead of spicy. Prices were exceedingly reasonable- ramen + drink was €12.50 and they accept cards. read more

Stopped during a weekday lunch, and delighted that it was super busy. The spicy Tonkotsu was an interesting take on the traditional but still worth a try. The broth could have been more hot, and there is a sautéed halve tomato which was surprising. If your in Frankfurt, and need a Ramen fix, definitely the spot to try. read more
(my visit was back in October 2016) The ramen is good, but don't get the buns. Ramen comes in a lot of regional styles, so know that Ramen Jun makes theirs with straight noodles instead of curly ones. Ramen noodles: good Broth: good Bun: bad read more

I'll admit that I was not impressed with my meal. My husband liked his meal a lot and really enjoyed the visit. His meal was tastier than mine. Nice staff, there will most likely be a wait as it is a super tiny place. I did really enjoy the avocado appetizer though. It was alright. read more

I lived in Okinawa for 4 yrs and moved from there about a year ago. One of my Favorite things about Japan besides the culture was their food and I had not been able to find a place that would come close until today! Thank you Ramen Jun for the wonderful service and food. You all took me back to my times in Japan! read more

Best ramen I had so far around Frankfurt. Really good and deep soup. Spicy is not really spicy but tasty. Living in Asia for a few years and been to Japan I am always in search for good authentic ramen. This place is one. You can see a lot of Japanese and asians come here as well. Nice thing is you can have additional noodles for just a few bugs. It can be a bit difficult to find parking close to the restaurant as it is on a residential only parking street. Overall I can highly rebrand this place. read more

I had the tonkotsu deluxe ramen with gyoza. The ramen broth was delicious and they used the thin noodle. It can a problem to find Kyushu style ramen using the correct noodle, at least in Berlin. The house made gyoza was also to die for. read more
