I was looking for a ramen place after a morning of shopping and saw that this place was rated very…read morehighly on Yelp and Google. Interior is very nicely decorated and it was a little bit busy around 2 PM on a Monday. The service was very fast though. I got the miso buta tama ramen and it was average. The noodles had a good texture. The soup broth was overly salty and I was so thirsty after my meal. The vegetable was also slightly undercooked. Sadly, not a very authentic ramen spot I think I would categorize it more of a fusion spot. I'd be open to trying other ramen spots around but won't come back to this place.

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. Worth a try I'd say try it if you want something different than tapas. Lots of local ate here

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.

The crispy potato confit was like, flaky outer shell and a scalloped potato inside. - Homemade Truffle Raviolis in a creamy truffle sauce with Parmesan and sage Give me 3 of these orders.

In fact, this was one of our least appetizing meals of any type over 4 weeks of travel. Some of the worst ramen of any restaurant I've ever tried. The fried rice was not much better.

I think I was going to like this regardless because I love fusion food. Living in the Bay Area in California, its just something that I always will gravitate towards. But Japanese and Spanish fusion? Good lord.... When we arrived we just about got the last seats in the house. It was fully packed for dinner. We had been looking for a place to eat dinner and everywhere nearby was full. So we were really appreciative when the hostess welcomed us in. The decor was very modern and slick. It really had an upscale feel to it. But yea everyone who worked there was super nice. I like nearly every single tapas that was brought out. All the fish tapas tastes super fresh, especially when paired with the greens. There definitely was evidence that whoever was the chef making these, had a mastery on food pairings. I will also say that I don't typically like mushrooms. They served a lot of mushrooms this night but I wasn't mad about it. Paired with the Pork Cheek and Steak, it really brought took you on an umami ride. The wine they picked for us also was a perfect pic. So if you do decide to dine here, I definitely would reach out to staff if you have any questions. They seem to be super knowledgeable about wine. But in any case I can't wait to come back here someday. When I come back to Spain, this place will definitely be at the top of my list!
