Luckily we waited until we left Ghent and got to Brussels. This was some of the best ramen I've ever had, hands down. The noodles were made in house and very authentic. I got the spicy tonkotsu. Man was this good ramen. I mean really really good! People have said it's expensive but given I'm used to SF prices this was a solid price for me. Absolutely recommend. So good and great service!!

The chef was very kind and interactive with us it was definitely appreciated

My wife looked up places near us in Brussels and Unamido seemed like a safe bet for both of us to fix our current hunger so we headed there on Saturday night. We arrived around 8:30PM and the place wasn't very busy, so we got a good table right away. The menu here doesn't have very much sushi on it so I was only able to pick between a few rolls so I ordered the spicy salmon cucumber and the ebi katsu cucumber. Both rolls came out fairly quickly and both rolls were solid, not amazing, but solid enough, I have no complaints with the foods quality or taste. Overall, Unamido was a solid place to grab dinner. The restaurant itself has a great look both interior and exterior as well as having an extremely friendly staff taking care of you. The sushi I had was good and even though I'm not sure I would go back in the future, I enjoyed the experience I had.

However, prices seem to be reasonable or cheap for the area. Their lunch specials were particularly enticing too. Portions were far bigger than we anticipated. Though, honestly, wish I had just gotten sushi. I picked a salmon bento lunch special and we also got a tori bento. Salmon bento came with a seared filet of salmon with a sauce, two salmon sashimi, tempura + sauce, four gyoza, rice, and miso. Overall, fairly decent and in a bigger portion. Tempura was really nice and the sashimi seemed fairly fresh. Something I later wished I'd just ordered alone. The salmon filet with sauce was so-so and looked good, but wasn't particularly tasty to me. Fried gyoza would have been nicer with a sauce. I'm unsure if the sauce provided was for both of the tempura and the gyoza though. Tori bento had a nice bit of terriyaki chicken, fried egg over rice, more tempura with a different sauce, miso, and kimchi. The kimchi felt a little out of left field for me, but wouldn't complain about getting kimchi. If it wasn't for the lunch prices I don't believe I'd actually have ever came here and would have found it a big rip off. The restaurant is nice for some okay Japanese style food, but nothing I'd desire to pay more than what I had. Service was nice/standard amount of reservation. Maki and sushi looked really good though. If the sashimi was any indicator of its worth then that would have been my first choice had I known. Bento boxes are good if you're looking for something heavy.

We were craving for Japanese food (especially ramen), and were glad to chance upon this restaurant…read more However, upon entering, we were a bit skeptical as we realized the restaurant was run by Chinese. And as expected, the ramen as well as the yaki soba tasted like Chinese food rather than Japanese. The ramen soup was bland and there was not much flavour, same for the yaki soba. The only saving grace is the sashimi we had, which was rather fresh. Overall, we were really disappointed with our 40euros spent on Chinese rather than Japanese food.

The selection of the sushi put out on the belt could have been better because they kept putting the same exact stuff.

Pretty good spot for Japanese in Brussels! I'm not a fan of sushi, but I liked the little sushi…read moretrain that they had instead of a conveyor belt. They also have an all you can eat buffet. However, I just ordered chicken teriyaki from the grill. It was quite good, and came with rice (covered in a fried egg) and a salad. The house sake wasn't bad either. Staff was very friendly. The atmosphere is great, and the place is larger than it looks on the outside and can seat a lot of people, so you never have to worry about the restaurant being full. If there's any downside, it's that the menu prices feel a little higher than they should be. But over all, I enjoyed the meal and wouldn't mind going back some time.

Beware, the place is rather small, even spread on two floors (maximum capacity of 28p) and you have little chance to find a free table if you're with more than four. If you eat on the ground floor you can see the staff cooking. It's always nice to watch how they prepare these bowls of ramen. Important to know: they accept only cash payments. But there is a cash dispenser 30m further in the street (uphill).

Okay, really a 3-star place but because this was exactly what we were looking for to satisfy our…read moreramen craving while abroad, it gains an extra star. A disclaimer: I realize that I'm probably spoiled by the mass of ramen joints that are in the Bay Area. As a result, I judge ramen places pretty highly. The 3-star rating is not to say that the ramen was terrible, but it is certainly not ranked among the best. Tonkotsu Ramen. Usually when I think of tonkotsu, I think of a rich and flavorful broth, as tonkotsu is traditionally stewed from pork bones for hours and hours. This broth fell a bit short of flavorful. The noodles, pork, and toppings were delicious (I always appreciate a perfectly soft boiled egg), but the broth is really what makes or breaks a ramen to me. Kara Miso Ramen. For those who like a bit of spice with their ramen. Or maybe not a bit of spice? I'm usually a super wimp when it comes to spice, and the slightest hint will have me reaching for a glass of water to rinse it all out. This one didn't do too much for me. I felt a little bit of heat lingering on my tongue afterwards, but I was expecting a bigger kick. The meat on this bowl was also a little dried out. I can definitely see why this place would do well in this neighborhood; it fulfills a need that is missing, which is exactly why we ventured into Umamido. Great for an area that is slim on authentic ramen choices; not so great for someone who comes from an area that is saturated with ramen.

One of the few Asian restaurants you will find here, they serve ramen and only ramen, except for a plate of gyoza I saw at the table next to me. There is a choice between 5 types and I went with the shio or natural flavor. It was slightly heavier than the normal shio broth but lighter than a traditional tonkatsu. It had all the right notes of umami. The noodles were handmade and slightly larger and softer than I generally like them but held the broth well. The perfect amount of toppings with an egg, charsiu, sprouts, bamboo shoots and spring onion. For €12 a bowl, it was excellent value. I would say the only thing that could help it land 5 stars would be a better ambiance. It was quiet as a library, no music and just a handful of customers for an early dinner. However I would definitely return to try another lovely bowl!

Kitchen is perfectly clean, neat and purposefully arranged for efficient cooking and serving. Staff speaks Japanese (except the two western ladies). All were very kind and the service was swift. I was a bit disappointed by the gyoza. They were good but a bit too greasy to my taste. It was prepared in front of my eyes (boiled then panned) and nothing noticeable happened. My Shoyu ramen with extra slices of pork was quite good but there again the soup base was a bit too oily/greasy to be perfectly to my taste. Bottom line, I'm giving a 4th star to the boss (I assume he was) because he speaks English and Korean (thumbs up), besides Japanese and was very nice with me. I will come back with friends and hope they will have fine-tuned the "greasy" part in the meantime.
