Reservations required, so I thought this was a great spot. However, vegan ramen and chicken chashu were very sweet. Noodles were okay. 24.50 CHF for ramen 3 CHF for egg 7.5 CHF for chicken chashu 2 CHF for tap water Very pricey as well, I guess standard for Zurich but still. read more

Yume Ramen - Vegan ramen 24.5 CHF - Ramen Near Me - Zürich, ZH

This is my Swiss local's favorite ramen shop she's had in Zurich but for me, I wasn't the biggest fan. We got the Shoyu and the TanTan Ramen. Tantanmen had sesame oil flavors and the shoyu broth was very light but a bit bland for me so I added the extra sauces they had on the table. The noodles are made fresh in restaurant and they have a clear glass so you can see it being made if you're lucky. It was pretty cool watching one of the workers make it. The noodles definitely tasted great and was authentic. This ramen place is a bit on the pricier side and my friend said the prices were noticable raised but she loves this place so much, it didn't bother her. There are public bathrooms downstairs that they keep taken care of. As soon as you sit, they have clear separating glasses between tables which feels very sanitary, I love it. The ramen served is very aesthetic. I love the way they write their slogan on the nori. My favorite part is that they give you a bib to wear which was easy to put on. Both my friend and I definitely needed it because we both had soup spills on our bibs haha service was nice and they have wifi as well. This place seems to get packed very easily! read more

Decent service but avoid the shoyu ramen. Unfortunately had some pretty terrible food poisoning following the visit.

This was number 2 stop for ramen here on Zurich. I ordered their Tori no Karaage and Shoyu Ramen. I'll start with the karaage, it was FUCKING DELICOUS! Whatever dipping sauce that was, probably mayo mixed with spices and stuff, it went with chicken really, really well! I would honestly come back here just for their chicken haha. The Shoyu ramen, it was good. Brothe was decent, it missing that usual oomph a Shoyu ramen have but it was tolerable. The chasu was pretty yummy, wish it had more though. The noodles were like any other typical ramen noodle....really wish they had firm wheat noodles, that would've been killer. A nice slightly sliced runny egg did give it a nice homey touch to it so the overall experience wasn't entirely terrible. My overall experience here was great, I honestly loved their chicken more than the ramen which is sort of sad but it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try out there ramen here! read more

Hungry after a day trip to Jungfraujoch, we ventured into this restaurant for dinner. Busy but was seated immediately at 830pm on Monday night, ordered some items: 1) gyoza - 6 pieces, was just ok, I think it tastes those you buy in a bag from the grocery store and fry it yourself 2) tsukemen ramen - husband ordered this and said it was good but ramen in Los Angeles still tastes better 3) spicy black sesame ramen - this was a great spicy flavorful ramen on a chilly day. Not much sesame taste but lots of black sesame seeds in the broth. Slurped up my ramen so quickly. 4) house sake - good read more

Hands down the best ramen noodles I've had in Zurich.....after six years living here. Trust me, being a life-long ramen fan, I've searched! ^_^ The ramen is made in-house each day, the taste is as fresh as it looks. The big noodle machine is visible to the diners. From time to time, a staff member would turn on the machine to make a new batch of ramen. Delightful to watch the process. My favorite ramen is the Original Yume creamy chicken broth with chicken Chashu. The taste is exquisite. The combination of ingredients truly compliment each other. Most satisfying, hits the spot every time! Lunch time is very crowded and hard to get a table as the restaurant is small. Reservation is definitely recommended. read more

Yume Ramen - Creamy chicken broth ramen with chicken Chashu - Ramen Near Me - Zürich, ZH

I am a huge fan of ramen! I could eat it all the time! Thats why I went to Yume second time when I wasn't super happy after the first visit. I just feel that it is not tasty enough, something is missing. It is super busy so attendants have difficulties to move around so sometimes some salad lands on the ground... the salad is nice though. Also when you pay at the counter they disabled contactless payments so you have to go through the tip piece. read more

Ramen is great. It's meant to be cheap and filling, but with plenty of opportunity to experiment on the basics. This is the only Japanese restaurant in Zürich that hits the mark on everything. Service is friendly too, and the mix of drinks (non alcohol and with) are great. Not quite a 5 for me, but as the restaurant settles in and develops, I hope it will go that way! -------- Definitely a 5 now. The fried chicken Don Buri is a tour de force, and makes the menu something to come back to time and again. read more

One day (hopefully sooner than later) I will give this place 5 stars. This is one of those places you really want to. It only gets four stars because the ramen noodles lacked the ingredient of "kansui" - ramen divas/mivas refer this to the "secret sauce" that allows ramen to have their al dente, elastic bounce. And I like my elastic bounce in ramen. While soup broth is nice, it's nice and safe - which many may like, but for food, I'm all about adventure. Otherwise, this place meticulously checks off many other things: - Ramen made from scratch in store, DAILY using local CH wheat. Kudos. But I don't see kansui alkaline mineral water being listed in their fresh raw ramen ingredients, nor do I feel the elastic bounce in the noodles... this is what I long for, especially the days of eating ramen in Tokyo. But this could be a matter of personal taste really. Maybe not everyone likes the bounce. Like the popularity of Ippudo in NYC which I still don't get to this day. - Soup stock: Kudos again, home made, no artificial flavor enhancers. All natural and good for ya! - Pork and chicken: From Switzerland and slow cooked with their own special sauce mix - Cute colorful ramen pottery - Attentive service - Nice small starter salad with ramen, lightly dressed with a nice sauce with a hint of wasabi - Unlike other ramen houses in the city, they also offer dishes with rice and sashimi - VEGANS will love it, cos they are the only ramen shop I've seen with a vegan ramen dish (not vegetarian but vegan!) - Only ramen place I've seen that cared to offer their pork and chicken grown from high quality Swiss standards, and also care about the people who care about the vegan movement... while still keeping their prices very competitive esp comparing to the other ramen shops - Whiskey lovers will love how they have a bar area in this place... to try out their Japanese whiskey offering! Great for after work hang out for the whiskey connoisseur (watch out Widder and Old Crow!). Things that could improve: - Hot green tea: I was served with some green tea bag. Aghast!!! How could a hybrid of Sala of Tokyo, a local Japanese restaurant of highest standards (well, it did change its original ownership, so the standards did go down a bit here...), do this to me? I can get even better tea at say a cheap and cheery Japanese restaurant Samurai! Come on... - Elastic bounciness of ramen noodles (but it's freshly made locally, so is that the compromise?). So as in life, everything is relative. Many locals in ZRH will compare this to Miki Ramen/Ikoo (which are owned by the same group of owners). I'd say for me, it's currently tied to Miki Ramen, both have their competitive advantage... Miki wins over Yume for experimental, offering and variety: Unlike Yume Ramen here, Miki Ramen experiments; such as their "Tantanmen Ramen" (offered in both pork or vegetarian) is a huge signature plus dish that no other ramen place offers in Zurich. Tantanmen is a more recent addition to the world of ramen, as it bases its taste on the Sichuan Chinese Dandan noodles - giving it its nice, spicy and heavy soup base. Yume wins over Miki slightly for currently being the only one to make ramen noodles in house: I know that Miki and Ikoo ramen will soon make their own ramen, but that doesn't apply for my review right now as it hasn't happened yet. However Miki's noodles (directly from a reputable Sapporo, Japan ramen factory), albeit not made in house yet; currently does have more elastic bounce. And what is the most important thing about ramen? First and foremost, it's the noodles! Do you want freshly made in store daily without kansui impact so it doesn't feel like REAL ramen noodles, or do you want more bounce - the real ramen noodles, but not made freshly in store? One must decide... but I'll say the Yume ramen noodles are nothing to write home about. Cos mom wants to hear elasticity... trouble is on the waters for this place when Ikoo and Miki will start making their ramen locally too. However, the advantage of this place is it's proximity to Europallee and the bankers' lunch, and that it caters to those that like eating a "safe" mild soup base. For ramen in Zurich, I'd come back here if I was in this area; but otherwise I'd venture out to Miki or Ikoo if location is not the top deciding factor. read more

Decent food, too pricey for just Ramen noodles compared with in US. Recommended for advance different food culture.

I got here at lunch time and the place was packed. The Shoyu ramen came quickly and was different than any other shoyu broth I've had. It was very dark brown and had a full, rich, beef flavor. It was more like a beef broth. Flavorful, bold, with a bit of spice. Chasu was perfect and noodles great. read more

Nice little ramen shop quite close to the real ones. A bit pricey but this is zurich so you don't expect anything less than 20 francs in a restaurant. Their gyouza was very good and they also have calpis! read more

Great ramen! I really enjoyed the one with minced beef and spicy sauce. Absolutely top notch !

I want to ask those who gave the five stars: have you really eaten Japanese ramen? I don't recommend this ramen restaurant at all! The taste seems to be modified to adapt to Western tastes instead of authentic Japanese ramen. That's why only very few Asians were present. I finally give only one star rating for the following reasons: 1. We made an appointment in advance, but the store arranged us to the bar position; 2. After switching to a normal position, no one cares about us. After waiting for more than ten minutes, we went to the reception to get the menu by ourselves. 3. We were waiting over half an hour after ordering ramen to get our dishes, but we also noticed that the two ladies who came after us got their ramen in ten minutes after ordering. 4. We feel the obvious discrimination, because the store manager gives the other guests nearby a detailed explanation of the menu, and from time to time take our ramen noodles as an example (I think this is very rude) and give them bibs, but we have nothing; 5. The taste of the ramen is also very poor. Because there is no traditional Japanese-style bone soup ramen on the menu, I ordered the soy sauce ramen - the taste of the soup is very strange, and the bamboo is taken out of the can obviously with a bad smell, also the Japanese chashu is just some pieces of pork to fool guests. 6. The tap water was not free (2 CHF) and was not informed in advance. read more
