    Mostly Japanese, with a little Korean, Chinese, and Thai cuisine in the mix... your typical…read morepan-Asian restaurant in this corner of the world. 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.

    Last night here Barcelona we decided to try something different.. Lots of ramen place here so I…read moredecided to try one. Well I was curious to see how good or bad ramen place would be in Spain. Well curiosity killed the cat and my wallet for wasting my money . Restaurant was packed. I thought we would wait but was asked to follow one of the staff. Went downstairs and saw another dining room which was cool. Also packed with people so I was little excited to taste the food. Ordered angry chicken bao.. Don't know why it was angry because it wasn't spicy at all. Took a bite and was trying to figure out what the sauce was.. Little taste of peanut. Bao was alright but not worth the money for how much it cost for one. Then got the pork gyoza. Not bad, not much flavor but wasn't horrible. Then the main dish I ordered spicy miso ramen and pad Thai.. Why I ordered pad Thai at Japanese restaurant in Spain? I have no idea. Presentation of ramen was good. Tasted the broth and I was confused because it tasted sweet and lacked in miso flavor and no spice what so ever. Ramen was cooked little al dente. Employee was nice enough to offer chilli.. So added about 4 spoonful and tasted little better. Over all the ramen was pure disappointment, probably the worst ramen I ate at a restaurant. Then the pad Thai.. Tiny little bowl only with shrimp cut in half on top. I thought I was disappointed with ramen but man... This dish was utter failure.. No way anything near pad Thai flavor. It tasted like egg fried noodle with shrimp on top. It lacked in so much flavor. So dinner was pretty sad.. I could not recommend this place to anyone.. And holy smoke 5.50 for side of kimchee.. What the heck.. Can't wait to tell my mom how much they were charging for side of kimchee...

    My mom was craving sushi and we came here on a mission. The hours were challenging because we got…read morethere 30 min before opening so we just checked out the menu from the outside and waited. The menu was hard to interpret in English but we did our best communicating with our server. We ordered the chirashi salmon, beef gyozas and a special roll of aburi uramaki. The salmon in teh chirashi bowl were huge pieces and the gyoza came out hot. The aburi uramaki roll was flavorful and interesting to have tasted the grilled onion pieces on top. It was more than enough food for both of us and it kept us full but I think we were expecting sushi flavors similar to back home (which wouldn't make sense since we're in a completely different country that has a slightly different style). Like the udon listed, my mom thought it would be the soup style but it was more like black bean noodles so I dunno. Great place for takeout since seating area is small. We were the only patrons eating in so service was on point lol

    If you are looking for quality sushi, this is the place. But if you are looking for one of the…read morebest value sushi places in Barcelona, this is also the place. Dynamite combination of both. The salmon was especially tasty in sashimi and nigiri, but they had this tartar salmon dish that was also quite good and very unique. The service was speedy and friendly and I would go back in a heartbeat.
