Many consider this Barcelona's best ramen spot, with well-executed chashu and ajitama egg. Recent reports point to a dip in quality since the original manager left.

The broth clearly takes hours to build — you can taste the depth from the first spoonful.
I expected just another tonkotsu and left thinking of bowls I've had in Japan.
The chashu croquettes were the real surprise on the table, not something I expected on a ramen menu.
Asked for firmer noodles and they nailed it.
I'm sensitive to gluten so I switched to rice noodles. Best gluten-free version I've had.
Was craving something spicy, went for the yuzu picante and it was nicely seasoned.
We split karaage and gyoza before the ramen and I'd have left happy with just that.
Started with the agedashi tofu and ended up drinking the broth straight from the bowl.
I added the house chili oil to the broth and loved it, fragrant without too much burn.
Went with my parents and we ate until we couldn't fit anything else.
