BoOctober 30, 2016Simple but elegant interior, with delicious Japanese food. The salmon salad was amazing. The only downside was that I ordered an almond pudding that tasted sour. Staff offered our desserts for free.
Ioannis DaglisNovember 17, 2015Try Tako Gari: pickled octopus and ginger (photo). And definitely ice cream - I had the following: black sesame (very good), ginger (excellent!), and wasabi (divine!!!).
Ronald CattrysseJanuary 4, 2018The ramen is great; if you want the fullest taste, definitely go for the negi-kara. The gyozo is also great, don’t forget a scoop of black sesame ice cream before leaving!
Andreea ArcaleanuFebruary 12, 2015The location is great! Super service, nice personnel and super delicious food! And above all amazing Japanese food (noodles, the most delicious salmon ever tried), the ice cream is just mind blowing!
Jean RoebbenJune 5, 2017Lovely atmosphere & dito staff. Great food, although, next time I won't go for the cold beef ramen again (but that's personal taste). My wife had cold salmon ramen, very good!- PripriAugust 9, 2015Try the Gyoza - they are simply the best! Good Japanese food, very trendy and friendly service. Quite popular so you might have to wait to get a table during peak times at lunch.
Alexandros PlexidasFebruary 11, 2018Stands out always for its minimal style, the amazing quality and the good service. All ramens are nice but you should also try the gyūdon and the tuna sashimi.
S Marks The SpotsMarch 31, 2013Very good ramen - no sushi here! Try the gyoza (dumplings served with a dipping sauce), the ginger-spiced octopus salad and the ginger ice cream. Make sure you book in advance. Read more
Timothy CohenJuly 21, 2017Nice place to eat japanese food! And its cheap. The gyudon are Amazing ! Its often crowded so it's up to you to make a reservation.
Xavier SFebruary 22, 2016Everything's delicious. Authentic food - try it all! Cozy atmosphere and family friendly place. One of the best in town, definitely.
Hurray for Kokuban, a demonstartion that a japanese restaurant in Brussels can have great food at a reasonnable price, a nice deco and a kind service all together... It's a strike! Exquisite gyosas.
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑October 13, 2015Gyoza and ramen are very good, sadly you don't get much in the way of protein so I don't come here as often as I would otherwise do, a few very thin slices of pork just isn't satisfactory!
Japanese Ramen restaurant . I think it is the best Ramen restaurant in Brussels. I always choose Shoyu (soy sauce) Ramen, Yakibuta (steamed pork), and Gyoza. :)
Anar KučeraJuly 13, 2015An absolute must for Ramen lovers! Also delicious and perfectly spiced kimchi.
Amazing non-sushi japanese food: ramen, noodles, gyoza, smooth sake... Try 'karaage ramen' or more surprising 'hiyashi chûka' fresh and tasty cold noodles with the home roiboos ice tea!!!- Ramen are delicious ! Friendly atmosphere. Love it and have to go back
Especially during the Summer season, Cold Ramen is one of the best chooses. Let's give it a try. :)
Michiel NoensApril 5, 2013My favorite japanese noodles place in Brussels! Best to get there just before the noon rush, because they don't take reservations!
Adam NowekMarch 8, 2017Creative and fashionable Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices. The ramen is especially delicious.
Iwana KrzeptowskiJuly 20, 2015Perfect place to have a nice bowl of ramen and some gyozas :) don't forget to try some dessert !
Eunice WellsDecember 5, 2012Service can be VERY slow on busy nights so don't plan anything afterwards! And you may have to wait to be seated so it's better to have a reservation, and dine earlier.
Andreia NunoOctober 3, 2014Food is amazing, great service and fantastic typical japanese environment :-)
Legi TintinJuly 16, 2016Great place and ambience. Good service. Miso ramen is excellent. WiFi pass: GYOZA001
Julie FMay 31, 2018Amazing ramen in a trendy setting. Make sure to come early or make a reservation.
Tania Anouchka T.October 20, 2015Lovely atmosphere and good food. The kimchi was great and I loved the black sesame ice cream.
Very good food in a nice environement for a good price. Love it! Try everything ;)
Thijs NiksOctober 17, 2015Great and affordable Japanese ramen. Don't skip on dessert: mochi ice cream!
Stijn HOctober 18, 2012Excellent japanese food! Expect to queue, but it's worth it! Oh, and they have black sesame icecream!
Maria TsingouJanuary 16, 2017Loved the food. Reservations not possible, Show up early to get a table.
Francois HanneuseJanuary 31, 2011The atmosphere is really nice and it is not expensive but I personaly prefere ramen from Yamato. It would be great if they do also different dishes that noodles like teishoku.- Caro SchieferOctober 19, 2016Meal was good however for the amount it was kind of expensive. Service could be better - was there alone for dinner and that seemed to be a problem for them..
- EV MeAugust 5, 2011Gyudon is very tasty, a great choice, even though the meat looks no so attractive at 1st!
Try at least once Ramune for the sake of the fancy bottle !!
- Smart, there are hooks on the side of the high tables to hang your coats and bags.
