Hot Ramen cold ramen your ramen my ramen, either way, it was Some of the best ramen I have ever had. All your ramen needs will be met here. And the prices are amazing considering the great quality and quantity of food. The food taste amazingly wonderful, the restaurant was very pleasant and authentic. the customer service was 5 star. They greet you coming and speak on the way out. Even though tho line was long, it was worth the wait. But the staff keeps you informed of the wait time. Be in the general area of the restaurant 45 min prior to opening because the line gets long fast. I got there 30 min prior to opening and had a two hour wait. That restaurant is not that big but the staff gets it done and manages to feed every one in line. read more

Well what can I say, my expectations were set high. Based on the reviews, I was expecting the best ramen of my life, or at least the best in Barcelona. For me, that title goes to the Grasshopper located in the Born district. And yes, bear in mind that might be my specific taste. I am not from CA and I have only had ramen less than ten times in my life, so I am not a ramen expert. I can't say whether this ramen was more authentic or not, but I just didn't enjoy it and was disappointed. We came for lunch around 2:00. As always, there was a line, but it moved quickly and we only waited about 20 minutes. Got the lunch set menu which was 10.50. It included a drink, starter and ramen. To start I got the gyozas. For the lunch deal you get three. They were tasty! I chose a toasted rice green tea which came in a beautiful little wooden teapot. Tea was nice, if you've ever had hot "tea water/barley tea" at a Korean place, this was very similar. I opted for the miso ramen with pork and got half an egg for an additional 50 cents. The ramen was a lot creamier than what I'm used to, so if you like that style then you'd probably really enjoy it. I thought it was just too heavy on my tongue and felt gross after eating half. It was a bit salty for my taste. I also felt like there weren't enough ingredients. The miso ramen at the Grasshopper had way more ingredients and more broth as well. I think their bowls are bigger. Also the broth is lush but cleaner and a bit more complex. Ooh, another big turnoff for me was the lack of Sriracha or any spicy sauce. Maybe that's not authentic, I don't know, but I love putting a bit of Sriracha in my ramen. They do have the typical powdered spice but I think the liquid sauce just blends better and adds an element of spicy heat. Service was fine considering how busy it was. The place is nicely decorated and designed. All in all, considering the hype and price, I was disappointed. If you are in Gracia and you want somewhere close by then I suppose this place ain't bad! But if you're willing to travel a bit, I strongly recommend getting the miso ramen at Grasshopper. Not sure if they do a set menu but the a la carte prices are better there. Also, I love having a selection of craft beers which this place lacked. read more

Tasty ramen: ordered the seafood ramen which came with baby clams, 1 shrimp, and 1 fish cake. The mackerel broth was delicious, but the portion size is too small. I will still hungry after eating the whole bowl including the broth. read more

Got there around 9 on a Thursday night, and it opens at 8:30. There was already a line of about 20 outside. We waited for about 30 min and were seated. There were only 2 of us. I ordered the shoyu ramen with corn and bamboo toppings and we also ordered the gyoza. The gyoza was very very good and the ramen was definitely some of the better ive had. But not the best. The wait was worth it, but I wish they had tonkotsu ramen. read more

We got here an hour early(7:30 and opened at 8:30) to stand in line from reading the other reviews. We were not disappointed. Excellent Ramen and such a lovely experience. If you are looking for something different to eat like we we're after being in Europe for three weeks then come here. read more

Food was good, tea was good, and the chef was very accommodating to my food allergies. I haven't had ramen elsewhere in Barcelona, so I can't compare to anything aside from ramen I've had in California. The reason I can't give Ramen-Ya Hiro 5 stars is because of the line. We arrived five minutes after the restaurant opened, and had to stand in line for an hour and a half. After a day of walking around, up and down hills and stairs in Barcelona, it wasn't fun to stand on the sidewalk for this long (girlfriend wanted to eat here). Please do what every other popular ramen restaurant does - have a wait list where customers can sign their name and put a phone number. That way, we can visit a nearby bar, and SIT DOWN while we wait 90 minutes for food. Honestly, it is the considerate and respectful thing to do. read more

We came here cuz it was right on the street of our hostel and it has pretty good review! The line was pretty long around 2pm on a week day but it keeps moving. We got the . I think the portion is a bit small but I guess most people gets smaller dishes such as gyoza and share. The ramen was tasty but not as tasty as the ones in the Bay Area. I'll come back if I'm in the area and is craving ramen. read more

Having read the reviews from other users, my brother and I showed up plenty early to try and beat the rush. However when we arrived there was already quite a line! Not to be deterred, we stuck it out (the line moved pretty fast) and ended up being seated outside. The ramen here is absolutely top notch and well worth the wait! read more

People start waiting in line 45 minutes before the place even opens, so be prepared! We had to wait for almost an hour for dinner, but the ramen really was worth it. Everyone in my group got the miso ramen (which comes with chasiu pork and veggies) and customized it by adding things like egg and corn. The broth is so rich and creamy that I drank the whole bowl. The dumplings and onigiri were good, although not exceptional, but the ramen really was amazing. The servers are also friendly and funny and do their best to get everything done efficiently in such a busy and cramped place. read more

Apparently I wasn't the only one craving a hot bowl of noodle-y soup yesterday... There was a line halfway up the block by the time I arrived at 2:15 for lunch. Granted, the place is tiny. I don't think we would have gotten a table if it wasn't for the holiday (as they normally turn away diners who aren't seated by 3:30 - we didn't get seated until nearly 4). Robert M, Frank & I shared a plate of Gyoza, which is made in-house, and was excellent. I ordered the Miso Ramen, with egg and bamboo shoots. I wanted extra pork, but it was sold out. The broth was thick and rich. Perhaps a bit too thick for my taste (translation: I was drinking so much water that afternoon! it must have been sky high with sodium too). What would have made the soup just a tiny bit better would have been if it was served hotter. I like it hot. Scalding hot. Like I need to wait and blow on it for a while before I start. This was immediately edible, meaning it was too cold by the time I was near the end. I'll definitely come here again when craving ramen. Hopefully I'll arrive early enough to not have to wait over an hour for a table. It's a good thing I had a little snack before venturing off to lunch - I'd have been way too grumpy if I was overly hungry. read more

This is one of those places that is authentic, cheap and fun. Packed in on little tables inside, I would recommend sitting at the bar if possible. I am somewhat tall (188cm), so it was a little cosy for me. Seating for three is a little tight as you are squeezed onto the end of a table for 2, with the table for 2 behind you almost hitting you in the back. Staff are friendly and helpful. Had to queue to get a table, but it was worth it. Few people came in solo and sat at the bar. Very cool atmosphere. Only comment on the food was that next time, we would not bother with the extra topping. The food was great as is. Just get a ramen bowl each. There is plenty of food in each serving. read more

I really liked this place despite the ramen being different to what I am used to. We got there 5 minutes after opening time and had to wait an hour for a table. Probably best to get there 10 minutes before opening to get in the first sitting. The gyoza were worth coming for on their own, but when paired with the deliciously hearty ramen broth, they were heaven. Definitely a place I can recommend for true ramen lovers. read more

We just left this place and are already craving it again. Well worth the 40 minute wait, especially if you order a beer while you wait in line. It's a small 40-50 seat, intimate restaurant and they make the Ramen noodles in-house. The wait time goes fast and the staff have it running like a machine. As soon as we were seated, we ordered and the food came pronto. You pick from 3 types of broth and add the toppings (such as seaweed, soy beans, bamboo, egg, tofu, and meats). The portion sizes were big and we plowed through our soups pretty quickly. For desert we had the Crema Caseca de sesame ngro, which was like a sesame cream brûlée and had a nutty sweetness that only toasted sesame could give. I rarely give a 5 rating but this place deserves a 6! We will be returning before the end of our vacation. read more

Yelp bamboozled me again! Waited 15 minutes for a bowl of ramen to cure my hangover (damn you Spanish wines!). This place is not that great. The broth was not very tasty and had no depth. Didn't really taste like pork broth and needed a bit of salt. Ironic because I got the soya (soy sauce). Pork fat swimming along the top but didn't taste very rich. Also, there's just way too much fried garlic in there for my taste. Biggest complaint is the noodles! Thin and felt like I was drinking soup with a side of noodles aka felt like a disjointed bowl of ramen. Ugh. Noodles should be thicker and chewier to pick up the broth flavor. Or be some delicious ass thin noodles. They were neither. Wasn't the worst bowl of ramen i ever had but to say this place rivals ramen joints back in CA is seriously offensive. read more

Japanese food has taken Barcelona by storm, and this place is, apparently, the best for ramen in the city. Indeed, the restaurant's reputation precedes it: Ramen Ya Hiro is small, and there is *always* a line to get in. I spent a solid 30 minutes waiting for an outside table one recent chilly Spring evening. The menu is simple, clear, and narrowly focused on that delicious, salty, meal-in-a-pot delight, ramen. I had a soy ramen with strips of bamboo. The broth was exceptionally flavorful, and the ramen noodles were delightfully cooked to perfection. Indeed, this is quite authentic ramen. My dinnermate chose a vegetarian ramen option not listed on the menu that, too, was quite flavorful, if a bit overseasoned. If I am ever in the mood for ramen in BCN, this is the place I will go. Service was appropriate, friendly, and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual, if nothing particularly special. Looking forward to another delicious meal at Ya Hiro! read more

It is good, but I prefered Koku for ramen in Barcelona. Here's why: 1) The soja broth was not good - I even wonder if they didn't give me a fish broth by mistake. Very weird flavor. 2) The basic ramen (€7.70) come only with one slide of pork and some spring onions / seeweed. Definitely not as many toppings as at Koku, so I think you end up paying more here than at Koku for the same bowl. 2) So much hype here... it is good, but is it worth waiting in line for an hour? Not so sure. Ya-Hiro is definitely the most authentic place though - it's awesome to watch the chefs work - and their gyozas are amazing. read more

Great place. Great food. Nice workers. Long line at opening time. Good ramen. Broth was deep and made me instantly smile. The noodles were well done, though it wasn't to ultimate perfection, but for Barcelona? I'd say it was perfect. It's hot inside though. Beware. Bring a fan or something. It'll get a little crowded and jammed. Gyoza was great. Miso ramen was awesome. They did complement each other very well. Try the Japanese beer. Sapporo :) No need to explain more, the place sells itself. read more

We are a ramen crazy family living in the San Francisco Bay Area We were on a cruise for my in laws 50th wedding anniversary . We did some research and from what we found it seemed like only one ramen shop in Barcelona . The food was great! Shop is perfect and owner and staff friendly and efficient . It was the highlight of our trip according to my son Enzo and while I did enjoy Italy, Greece and Turkey , I have to admit we do talk about the noodles when recounting our vacation. If you are in Barcelona this is a must go to shop. read more

Was really not a fan of this place. I don't want to sound pretentious, but if you've ever lived in a place with a Japanese population, you wouldn't like this either. And the wait is definitely, definitely not worth it or proportional to the quality of the ramen. One star bonus because the waiters were friendly. read more

Not worth the wait. Or maybe worth the wait if you live in Barcelona and have no other ramen options in the foreseeable future. That is to say, it's just ok. If you've had ramen in Japan or any major US city, you won't be very impressed. That said, it's not their fault the line is unbearably long and they do a pretty good job managing it. read more

May even be better than some of the good ramen joint in Tokyo. I even drunk the entire soup and it is rare ...!! Highly recommend. read more

Ramen-Ya Hiro - Miso ramen - Soup Near Me - Barcelona, B

There is a reason there is always a line here. It is worth it. WORTH IT. The line goes by quickly. I arrived here at about 2:30 pm with a friend and we waited for less than 20 minutes in line. We were seated at a small table by the door. It is cramped in here. They also have a patio but it was cold so I was happy we were seated inside. Our server was SO lovely and friendly. He was just wonderful. They have a menu of the day where you can get a drink, ramen, and an appetizer for 8.50 euro. You can choose between a clara, volt damm, or estrella damm for the drink (in addition to pop or hot tea) which I was really happy about. The ramen is huge and delicious. It doesn't come with an egg, I would have added one if I knew (0.50 for an egg). The broth was super flavourful, the pork inside was great. I really enjoyed it and I was SOOOOO full. I can't wait to go again and try the chicken ramen. I would definitely recommend Ramen Ya-Hiro. read more

Best ramen place in Spain! Period. Coming from a country where I know my ramen like the back of my hand, this place is as authentic as it can get. Make sure you are the first group to get in once the place opens as the it is really tiny. The wait is 40 minutes long, therefore, make sure you are close to the front of the line as much as possible. If you're near the end and the place will close in 30 minutes, come back at a later time or the next day. Staff are all super nice and ramen is spectacular. Such a wonderful gem and will visit next time I am in Barcelona and is craving ramen. read more

I'm putting 5 starts to this place even when we had to stay in line for an hour, so imagine how good it was. We ordered few appetizers and two ramen, one miso and one soja. Everything was soooooo delicious and well prepared. The place was very modest but nice and the service was excellent even when the place was completely full. The cooks and the waitress were in a very good mood, something not very usual in Spain, I have to say. After all that food I was super super full but I couldn't leave without trying the mochi and it was absolutely delishhhh. I would do the line only for having one again! Absolutely recommended and completely worth to wait in line. read more

We attempted to eat here twice week but the line was WAY too long that we decided to bail. On the 3rd attempt, we got there at 8pm and there was already a pretty long line. Thankfully, we managed to score the last table for the first round of seating after they opened. So here's the dirt: Long wait but this place offers a pretty good bowl of ramen, but like others have said before - the noodles need a little more tweaking. Shoyu ramen: broth was good, chashu was pretty good but needed a lil' more kick on the flavor. Order extra seaweed and bamboo! If you like eggs like I do, that was done with just the right amount of yolk-ooziness perfect for a bowl of hot ramen. Gyoza: yummy! Staff was super friendly and fast! read more

We waited for 90 minutes for a table. This was disappointing. The Ramen was excellent and the staff was friendly. If you don't speak Spanish (like us) ask for the English menu. We will visit again! read more

This is one of the best ramen place I have ever been to. The miso broth was rich and flavorful. We were seated at the bar(the four of us). The staffs were very friendly and they made our experience very pleasant. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat read more

Let's just start out by saying that the wait was not pleasant. We arrived at 8:35 and got seated at 9:40. My friend and I ordered an order of gyoza, miso noodles with char siu roasted pork and chocolate mochi to finish. The gyoza was good. There were five pieces (4,50) served with a side of typical soy/sesame sauce. The gyoza peels were thin and the filling was very salty. They were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of ginger in them. My miso soup base ramen (7,50 plus 2,50 for the pork) was the star. The soup base was at times, nutty but also super meaty and savory. The noodles were a bit subpar--nothing exciting--they were a bit too soft and lacked the elasticity that I look for in noodles. The char siu pork was pretty fantastic. It was tender and fell apart instantaneously upon the chopsticks touch. I ordered chocolate ice cream (3,00) to top off my experience. It was extremely rich and creamy--just what I needed! This place is good but I'm not sure if I'd wait in line for another hour to taste the broth again. read more

man this place...I come from the San Francisco Bay Area which has some awesome ramen joints but I have to say this tops them all. you NEED to add the cha su pork, it's amazing and pretty much melts in your mouth. the soup (which IMO is the most telling part of a ramen) is perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. also recommend the corn and poached egg, which comes runny and yummy ^___^ gyoza is a must, the onigiri is ok obviously the downside is that there is ALWAYS a long wait. I would recommend arriving about 20 mins before opening at lunch for the shortest wait - otherwise 30-45 min before dinner opening if you want to get seated with the first wave. read more

Ramen-Ya Hiro - miso ramen with cha su pork poached egg and corn added - Soup Near Me - Barcelona, B

My wife and I are from Southern California and came here to get our ramen fix. This place is awesome! Had to wait about 15 min for a table, no biggie. Cool little joint with really good ramen. The owner Hero came over and chatted with us and told us how he and his staff make everything fresh in house. They even make the noodles in house from scratch and slow cook the broth and meat for over 14 hours! You can definitely taste the love. If you're looking for great ramen at an authentic little place look no further!! Cheers! read more

I'm a big ramen connoisseur, and this is probably one of the three best I've ever had. I showed up five minutes before they opened for Friday dinner and was surprised to see a line stretching down the block. I waited 60 minutes (to eat alone!) before being seated at a shared table. I noticed that people waiting in line were given beers on request -- classy. The service is quick and efficient. I had the miso ramen -- the broth was perfect, the pork was juicy (although you only get one slice?!), and the vegetables were fresh. The noodles were the weakest part, I've had better, but even those deserve a 4/5. Typical reasonable Barna prices. I'll definitely come back here again... maybe on a weeknight, though. read more

Good ramen: ordered the seafood ramen and miso ramen. The seafood ramen had a mackerel broth with baby clams, one shrimp, and a small fish cake. The miso ramen has pork and a rich and delicious miso broth. While the ramen was tasty, the portions given were too small: I didn't find value in the price compared to the food received. read more

Very good quality for an affordable price. Went there on a Monday for lunch and found a 2 hours queue. During the week they have a set menu and it's very worth for the quality and price. Gyoza, ramen and drink for 10 euros. The ramen was almost as good as the one you can find in Japan. Excellent customer service also. I will defo repeat again. read more

Yes, i can believe this is the best ramen in town. I had to wait about 30 minutes to get seated but it's well worth it. They had the cold broth for summer and it was very tasty. I can't wait to go back. read more

There was a short wait but this ramen was really, really good! There were no spicy options (there were only about three types of ramen) but they had chili oil available which satisfies my craving. The space was small but comfortable, and the service was great. read more

Friendly staff and they now have a menu in English. I've had everything here and for Spain this is the best for the price. Add some kimchi to your ramen for that extra kick of flavor too. Be prepped to wait as they are always packed. I'm originally from LA which is home to some of the best Asian cuisine around. Love my ethnic foods Going again today! Yippee! read more

I love ramen, and I make ramen at home. This place is delicious! They take pride in their food and it shows in the flavor and in the service. Super busy for lunch and dinner so get there early. Either the soy, miso or seafood broth are good choices, you can't go wrong. The gyoza are grilled and served super hot so be careful, but they are the best I've had! This is a definite must try! read more
