This ramen was very good and worth the wait. This place only seats about ten people, so most likely there will be a wait. The menu is simple and the food is high quality. It's a very clean cafe and has a good ambiance. They operate as a well-oiled machine. This is not the absolute best ramen I've ever had, but it hit the spot and was very good.
OMG, best ramen ever. And I've tried A LOT of ramen, having even studied in Japan as well. I love their ramen. You would never think this place have ramen because it just looks like a coffee shop, but seriously, come here for the ramen. Thanks to my yelpers, I was able to search ramen and this place showed up. We came and was really surprised that it looks like a regular coffee shop. We weren't expecting it to be any good from the looks of it, didn't look like a ramen house. Ordered. Sat. It came out, and it was a big bowl with a ladle for the soup. I got chicken ramen, it came with plenty of chicken slices, bean sprouts, half a soft boiled egg, carrots, spinach and arugula, green onions, and a seaweed paper. Usually ramen places do not give you many toppings, or even more than 3 slices of meat! This place gave you 8! The chicken was so tender and lean. My bf got the smoked pork and it tasted like bacon, it was delicious. The broth was excellent! It had great flavors without it being extremely salty (like most ramens). It was a lighter broth ramen. Apparently the person who makes their ramen is a lady from Japan. And thank goodness because she does a really great job! We wanted to come back to Cafe Stiernan before we left to America but didn't have the chance. Even my BF (who doesn't like ramen, loved it!) Totally recommend it, skip the pho and get the ramen.
Stockholm is certainly not the first place I expected to find a fantastic bowl of ramen but Café Stiernan proved my noodle-loving heart oh so very wrong. Wandering along the charming streets of Gamla stan (The Old Town) mein Deutsch sherpa and I spotted a tiny chalkboard sign advertising noodles and we decided to get out of the cold and give it a go. Once inside, I couldn't have been more pleased. This tiny cafe has a cosy air about it and after hanging our coats we took two seats at the counter. One look at the ramen offering and we both asked for a bowl. Whilst we waited for it to be assembled we ate some very nice homemade bread. Nothing could have prepared me for the beautiful bowl I then received: brilliant coloured veg, succulent pork, toothsome yet tender noodles and broth full of umami. I've been dreaming of the stuff ever since.
I don't see myself as an ramen-expert, but I've been to Tokyo twice and I like to think that I know how a good bowl of ramen should/could taste. I've tried many ramen-places in Stockholm, and they've all left me more or less disappointed. One day I searched Yelp, to see if I've missed any ramen shops, and I found Café Stiernan. Kind of a misleading name - it doesn't exactly scream 'ramen'. But it had good reviews, so I thought I'd give it a shot! I was positively surprised! The ramen was sooo good! I've only had the miso dish, but to me it's near perfect - I could baptize my firstborn in that broth! The place seems to be run by a couple, and both of them are super friendly. The interior is quite "Meh" and there are no tables, you just sit by the bar or by the windows. I consider the place so good I've made it my Saturday routine to take stroll from Hornstull, down by the water to old Town and eat lunch there. Everyone in Stockholm that's having a craving for ramen needs to visit Stiernan asap!
Ramen in Stockholm?? I didn't believe it either, but this place came up on Yelp while we were walking around in Old Town (of all places). We walked in the first time to order a green tea and check it out, before moving on. Then we turned back around and came back after a few minutes, mostly out of curiosity to see what ramen in Stockholm would taste like. And turns out, the Yelpers aren't wrong, this ramen is actually quite good, definitely comparable to other places I've eaten! We ordered miso ramen: the broth was flavorful (but not too much so), the meat was juicy and tender, and the egg was perfectly soft-boiled. I would have liked to see some additional slices of meat and/or the other half of the egg, but still, it was quite a good (and very pretty) bowl of ramen. Top it off with some iced green tea, which is refreshing and light. If it's a nice day, sit outside and people watch. It's particularly fun to watch people double-take as they realize they're walking past a ramen shop in Stockholm.
Stopped in as it was a rainy day today, the perfect cozy lunch. I love coming to places like this that only have one item on the menu, you know that they are doing it right. There were three options for broth flavors and everything else was the same. The service was great and quick and the ramen was delicious. I went with the miso broth, yum!!
Saw this place online when I first got here and hungry for some ramen, but Café Stiernan was a bit far from where I was so I picked another restaurant, but turned out the place didn't offer ramen at all, so the ramen hunt continued. My hubby and I was walking around inside the old town, somehow we manage to find this place unintentionally, so we found a nice spot and give it a try. The interior design of the place was much more modern than I thought. And it was actually more like a café than a restaurant, but it happened that they also offer some food, in this case particular ramen. The choices of the ramen was quite limited though. I thought it would have more, but basically just spicy or not and some other two. But still I gave it a try. The ramen was great, I ordered just not spicy one. The soup was really good and the pork as well. I really did enjoy it. the price was alright, the staff was really friendly here. We could of try the coffee as well, but we were too full. We would like to visit this place again when we are in town next time.
Who would've thought you'd find delicious authentic ramen in the middle of Gamla Stan, Stockholm! Found this place randomly on Yelp and was really glad to have tried it out. The place is actually a cafe with pastries, coffee, and ramen. Interesting combination, but it seems to work for them since during the lunch hour, it was packed! Since it's a small cafe, there were only a few bar seats (maybe about 10-15 spots). It seems like a popular place for take out because there was line out the door. The two people running the cafe were definitely hustling to take care of all of their customers promptly. Service was good considering they were really busy. They had 3 different choices for ramen - pork, shrimp, and chicken. All three of them were good, though keep in mind the shrimp ramen used the small Bay shrimps. The noodles were cooked just right. They also included more fixings than I expected, half an egg and a few different veggies. They even had the Japanese spice powder that most ramen places have! I deducted 1 star only because the broth, though good, was way too salty. My mom actually asked the lady for a cup of hot water and mixed it with her broth halfway through the meal, which made the broth flavoring just right.
Fantastic high quality ramen restaurant located in central old town in Stockholm. Quite small place with twelve seats inside during winter time and a few extra seats during summer outside. Friendly and helpful personnel. Food is great, but for some people the soup might be a tad too salty. Take away option. Price is sound 15 usd (135 kr). Choose between chimp, chicken or pork. Vegetarian option available and custom orders. One dessert option. Serves wine, coffee, juice and carbonated beverages. Interior design might needed a upgrade, however is good enough. No toilet.
My Korean parents liked the ramen so you know it's good. We got the miso ramen and shoyu ramen. I thought the miso was too salty, but my dad liked it. Shoyu was great. Perfect meal for a cold day. Owner and his wife were very friendly! That rising sun flag inspired logo though .... hmmm. (Bit of a negative to Koreans, for obvious reasons)
We were walking the old town neighborhood, Gamla Stan, when trying to find somewhere to stop for lunch. The windows of this spot were filled with customers enjoying ramen. We had to wait just a couple of minutes for two tables to open up but it was well worth the wait. The menu is limited, but I appreciate that they are serving what they know they have perfected. My husband and I both ordered the shoyu ramen. The broth is so flavorful and the pork is so thinly sliced, which I appreciate. I don't do runny yoke in an egg, but my husband enjoyed that component. The woman working in the restaurant was so friendly and quick to tend to our table. This is a hidden gem that you should check out if you like ramen! read more

Excellent ramen and excellent service. Small ramen shop with just 10-12 seats but worth the odd hours and stopping in. One of the best ramens I've found in Stockholm. read more

Just a spot to tuck in a delicious bowl of ramen after a stroll in Gamla Stan. Imported noodle, the marvelous house made broth and a cozy wabi-sabi inspired decor comes together to ensure a satisfying visit. Chef Paris' focus on making every bowl a perfection reminded me of Kobe and Osaka ramen chefs of the past. A hearty thank you to the Stiernan Ramen Team from a ramen snob from Kobe / Sam Diego! read more

Walking around the Old town, lamenting the fact that there's nothing to eat :-) I saw this place and immediately yelped it. The reviews seemed too good to be true but I thought I'd give it a try and see if it'd live up to the hype. It did, the ramen was amazing! I'm not a big fan of Japanese food (maybe I've just been to the wrong places) but this was above and beyond. Even the egg was cocked to perfection. I had the chicken which was perfectly cocked and thinly sliced. The café is a bit small but I found it cosy. As regards the staff, they were friendly and attentive. I got the feeling that they really cared about the food. This place is well worth visit if you want good food for a decent price and if you want to get away from the touristy places on Österlånggatan. read more

Even though we visited Stockholm on what was considered really nice weather for the first day of spring, we Arizonans were popsicles after a long walking tour through the old town. We were so happy to warm our bones in this cute little ramen shop. The restaurant itself is tiny, with about a dozen counter seats inside and two picnic tables outside. I love a restaurant that does one thing and does it well, and Cafe Stiernan definitely knows what it's doing when it comes to ramen. They have one choice of a delicious chicken based broth, with the only alterations adding shoyu, miso or shio to your broth, or extra toppings. I've eaten a lot of really good ramen in my life, and the miso ramen here was top ten! The bowls come fully loaded with perfectly tender ramen, melt in your mouth pork, nori, a stunning soft boiled egg, spring onions, and bamboo shoots. I highly recommend adding a few dashes of the chili oil on the counters for an additional kick of flavor. This place definitely fills up quickly, but the lady behind the counter was super sweet and the food came out fast, so turnover is pretty quick. Either way, this ramen is worth the wait! read more

My friend and I were tired of braving the rain in the Old Town and decided to grab some comfort food for lunch, so Cafe Stiernan was the obvious choice. We both opted for the shoyu ramen with prawns and dare I say it was the best ramen I've ever had? This isn't your boring Wagamama ramen, no no no! - the flavours felt authentic and were perfect for a rainy day. I also have to say that the woman working there, which I assume was the owner, was lovely and genuine. Her daughter was helping out and served me my bowl of ramen, and my heart just melted from cuteness overload. This place really lives up to it's reputation - try it, you won't regret it! read more
When in Stockholm ... eat some ramen? =P Stumbled upon this small husband-wife run cafe serving Japanese ramen in Gamla Stan. It was surprisingly good despite its location in such a tourist traps area. I opted for a bowl of Shio Ramen - braised pork, spring onions, bamboo sprouts, half egg and nori, which was 135 SEK ($20.96). Eating out in Stockholm was pretty expensive in general (with the Canadian dollars conversion), but I would say that this was one of the more reasonably priced meals. read more

Definitely DEFINITELY worth a visit here! This place is easy to miss- little cafe in busy Gamla Stan (old town Stockholm), just from looking at it you wouldn't event think they have real food there. I'm SO GLAD that I yelped the area before I got there, because I read all the great reviews and was determined to find this place and try their ramen. Absolutely worth every word of the positive reviews!!! The waitress was so nice, took my order and was fine with taking out ingredients I'm allergic to. When I tasted the noodles and the broth and all the fresh ingredients, I was iN HEAVEN. It was unexpectedly the BEST MEAL I had in Stockholm. Strangely enough, I was raised in Asia, then in California, yet the best ramen I have ever tasted was found in Stockholm, Sweden, of all place!!! read more

This has to be the best food I've had in all of Europe! I am torn between the ramen and the mozzarella sandwich. However if you're here only once you have to try the ramen! I wish more people were like Paris (the owner and chef) and took pride in their work and deliver truly great food. read more

This is a quaint little cafe in the heart of Galla Stan overlooking a cobblestone pedestrian street with friendly staff, prompt service, and ramen!! Coffee and pastries can be enjoyed in the outdoor space immediately in front of the shop. The interior counter seats face outward through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows which are perfect for people watching while slurping on that beautiful bowl of ramen. read more

I had the lovely chance to eat here twice during my 10-day stay and must say that I truly enjoyed it! The owners are very kind and friendly. I definitely recommend you try the spicy miso and add some extra of the hot chili oil in there too. I must say, the place is on the smaller side but has a great space for window watchers! The music selection is EXCELLENT as well! I found myself singing along to 90% of the songs. read more
