    The interior is clean, cozy, and updated! They have many noodle options, one of which, is the Budae…read moreJjigae. I tried this for the first time and FELL IN LOVE! Perfectly cheesy and spicy! The ribs were tender and juicy! I totally will be coming back for my semester here!

    I went here in the beginning of March and was surprised by how nice the food was in this small…read morerestaurant! I really recommend this place if you're searching for some not too expensive nice Asian food with good taste! The people are very friendly there and the atmosphere is cozy and calm. Since my travels this summer through Thailand and Laos, it was the first time in Leuven that I thought: the taste of the food here is really close to what I ate last summer! (And I ate lots of local food back then.) An Asian friend of me also really liked the food and he knows what's pretty good. (Okay it's just one single person, but it means something :-) ) Since we were there for a belated birthday dinner, the girl who makes the food heard this and we got a really nice pancake-ish dish for my birthday (for free)! Sidenote: don't let yourself distract by the white lights in the front of the restaurant if you don't like this, in the back they have a cozy corner with dimmed warm light. Enjoy!

    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.

    I surely will not recommend that place, don't worth the price, no taste (put the extra egg)…read more I could also talk about the disrespectul student staff...the only japanese vibe you will get is the Honda Motocompo they show in the front window (very nice).

    So far, I've ordered the Wonton Soup (€15) and the Vegan Soup (€14,50). As much as I love the taste…read moreof the noodles here (which are homemade by the way!), the portions are underwhelming. The wontons were small with barely any filling. The amount of vegetables received also felt like it was only half the amount shown on the menu's stock pic, which is nothing short of misleading. I do love the tempura sweet potato from the vegan soup, though. It's got the most satisfying crunch when you bite into it. I would definitely get this one again! Service has been a hit and a miss. The first time I came here was over a year ago, and I flat out felt ignored. The staff had their backs turned as if they didn't have a single customer or something. And then the food took forever. I finally decided to give them a try again last weekend, and I'm happy to say the staff was super friendly and easy to flag down. Food also arrived in under 5 minutes! Lastly, I don't recommend coming here when it's super busy, because the tables are too close for my comfort. Especially in the winter, when everyone has to find a place to put their large, puffy jackets, space gets really tight.

    I came here with very high expectations and was a tad disappointed. I ordered the fried noodle with…read morevegan tofu and it had 80% noodles, 15% tofu and 5% garnish. I was hoping for a better sort out portion on the tofu/veggies and noodles. The dish was lacking in flavor, hot sauce on table made solved the issue. Service was fast and the place setting is quaint. Not sure if I will visit again. It is a decent place to try out Asian cuisine if you are craving for it.
