This place has very few tables (9 if I remember correctly) and the space is very limited but inside it's cosy and the lights and shades are very relaxing. The little garden with bamboo outside (with the rain there is today) is absolutely amazing. Regarding the dishes, the list is just appropriate (I get upset if there are too many options I want to try haha) with maki, uramaki, nigiri, and other Japanese traditional dishes but also within those, there is a mix of traditional and modern (the abura shoga or so, don't remember the exact name is an absolute must) which makes it a good place to try different sushi than the one you can get pretty much in any sushi shop around the world. It's a bit pricey but the quality is very high so overall a great experience, thinking about coming again soon!! :) Cheers!

Initially I thought it was a basque restaurant and to my surprise, my friend surprised me with a Japanese night of delicacies. I am not that inclined to have dinner so late anymore since I don't live in Spain, but is so nice to see places like this open until super late.

I gave it 5 stars considering we are in Barcelona and was close to the taste to other ramen places I've had in my lifetime (ramen in Japan, Vancouver, LA, Seattle, San Diego etc) If I was to compare it to the best ramen Ive ever had (Ichiran in Japan), it's likely would be a 3.5 but we are in Spain so it gets a 5. Ordered kimchee based on peeps comments and it was decent but we didn't finish it. Servers were nice and spoke English The Banoffee was good and was new to me.

I arrived for a late lunch (according to American standards, of course, as it was probably perfect timing for the rest of the Spaniards in the restaurant) and was quickly seated. I had gotten my filling of tapas during my stay in Barcelona and needed a bit of palate cleanser with a hearty, flavorful bao filled with meat -- a bit like an Asian taco, if you will. I stood firm in my order despite it feeling like heresy as "ramen" is in the name of the restaurant and a quick look around me revealed that most of the tables were definitely enjoying their ramen. Still, with things like pad thai and kimchi on the menu, I felt like I had permission to indulge in my cravings. I dug into a starter of some chicken karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that came with some homemade teriyaki sauce on the side. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the teriyaki sauce complemented its flavor instead of being too overwhelming. But the order did seem a bit on the pricier side at €7.50, which is basically the same price as one of the baos, so I think I would've ordered an extra one instead. As for the baos, I got three: the pork, the chicken, and the shrimp. They all tasted very similar to each other -- the pickled cucumber and carrot on the pork and the sauces on the shrimp did most of the heavy lifting, so I barely tasted the difference in meat. There are other places that ofter this bao delicacy in Barcelona (my reco would be Boa Bao) so come to Koku Kitchen for the ramen and gyoza instead. I did appreciate the decor of the place, especially the flower placed in a brown apothecary-esque bottle and the dim, hip vibes of the bathroom.

I was out walking near my hotel and passed this place up, and decided to give it a shot. TBH, what drew me in was the "Kyoto" in the name of the restaurant because I went to Kyoto a year ago and had the time of my life, lol. Upon walking in I was immediately greeted by the chef and staff, and was impressed and in love with the Japanese-style decor! On to the food! Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I thought this food was either going to be a let down, or pretty dang good. Luckily, it was pretty dang good! I started off with some gyoza, which was both flavorful and texturally pleasing! My main course was pork miso with egg over rice. Man, it was really, really good! Super super tasty and reminiscent of the food I had in Japan! I then washed the meal down with some Kirin, which was probably my favorite beer I had while in Japan. The service here was great as well, and I definitely recommend this place if you're in Barcelona and are craving an authentic taste of Japan!
