Cocolo in Berlin

Excellent Ramen place in Berlin. But gets really crowded over the weekend and during dinner time. Loved the TanTan Ramen and the Kaarage. Friendly staff and a great place!

My favorite ramen in Berlin. The food is super delicious; everything else doesn't count ;-)

Absolutely awesome! Everything was spot on! Danke

A very cozy restaurant that presents Japanese cuisine with very good ramen. Very nice staff and very nice cooks who even gave me some meat for free, highly recommended! I would go there several times without a doubt.

Apparently the Cocolo Ramen in Kreuzberg was published by an influencer saying that she had some delivered and then had life poisoning. She complained that she no longer received the money back. Now she is agitating against Cocolo Ramen on her side. Dear haters, if it were food poisoning, then 200 people or even more guests would have food poisoning that day... It was delivered... How long did the food sit at home? Did she eat it straight away? Or was it perhaps lying around for a few hours? Was it really the food? Stomach flu? Corona? A cold? If it is food poisoning, this should also be confirmed by a doctor. And... Before you rate this store, please be aware of the consequences it can have for the restaurant. Everyone knows it from school that when someone points the finger at someone and they are the next victim... The best ramen in Berlin. It's all homemade and it's nice to taste it. The space is also very nicely done and the service is attentive and kind. Price-performance ratio is also right.

How can you just not take a card these days? It's 2024

Very tasty ramen in different variations. It can be very crowded at lunchtime and in the evening.

Good ramen spot! I would definitely eat here again, but in my opinion it didn’t stand out that much. The tonkotsu broth was a little bit too intense for my liking but still enjoyable. The portion sizes for the ramen are perfect if you just want to have the ramen. We ordered the chicken karaage and potato salad starters to share, so we were too stuffed to finish our bowls!

Fast service and nice atmosphere. Did not like the ramen, meat was cold, and broth way too salty

The ramen itself was excellent - well-balanced flavors, fresh ingredients and a tasty broth that was simply convincing. The noodles had just the right consistency, and the accompaniments were generous and well chosen. What is particularly noteworthy, however, is the service: incredibly friendly, attentive and fast. Despite full tables, we never felt neglected and the recommendations were spot on. An all-round successful experience – I will definitely come back here!

Service fast and good, ramen also great, basic but good!

The food and tea were delicious. However, the seats are quite tight. The restaurant is very busy, so much so that there was even a queue in front of the door.

This is ramen for foreigners🍜. The portion for 15 euros per bowl is too small. The tonkotsu ramen is bland and greasy. The eggs are not Japanese soft-boiled eggs and the noodles are not authentic and too soft.

Excellent ramen. Medium orange wine, to leave in the open air. Very good green tea iced mochis.

The ramen master did his magic.

Nice and cozy place by the canal Tasty Ramen , clean toilets

We ordered only appetizers and was SO good, but they were cold instead of hot so it's the only room for improvement. Great service which I find rare in berlin. And lovely setup at their outdoor seating

Everything perfect. One of my favorites ramen places in Berlin. Highly recommend

I had tonkotsu ramen. Broth was good, noodles a bit too soft for me. Toppings were not very good (normal hard boiled egg, ginger inside which wasn’t mentioned on the menu, chashu was a bit chewy). The place and atmosphere is nice though.

We came here because it had a lot of good reviews, but honestly this was a total disappointment. I normally love Ramen, but this one was if anything mediocre and for what you get totally overpriced. The vegetables didn’t taste fresh and the portions are not big. Also, me and my friend wanted to sit and talk a little longer after the meal, but the waitress made clear she wanted us to leave. Thus, it wasn‘t a relaxing atmosphere and we felt pushed to get up. Definitely not coming here again.

Great place, good atmosphere and the Ramen was good. Not blow your socks off though and the meat was a little dry, but good.

Exceptional Ramen! Top 3 all time for me 😍

Only rating service 4 because it's very expensive and these reviews do not allow a price value rating. For the rest it was great, tasty food, kind servers, nice street and interiors.

Always amazing ramen, but the barmen at the Terrasse with the shirt “barmen 7” was very very grumpy…

Unfortunately we had a very disappointing visit to this restaurant. First of all, we were charged in advance before we even got our food. To make matters worse, two guests smoked right next to us. When we asked to sit further away, we were told that the area was reserved, even though the entire restaurant was almost empty. In the end we had no choice but to pack our own food and go home. Unfortunately we cannot recommend it.

They must have bought reviews! Terrible staff forgot to give us all the purchased foods but still asked to come back for self pickup!

Everything is delicious and the atmosphere is very good

This is ramen! There's nothing more to say about it! The best Berlin has to offer and we have tried several! A must if you are in Berlin! We were there twice in one week! Great soup And the starters were also great with homemade miso etc… Thanks for the great hospitality! We would have liked to have had a few more sakes on the menu! Next time! Thx to the team and Yosuke

Very boring waiters. The food is served quickly, but nothing special. Miso Ramen half cold and too salty with no character. There are many better restaurants in Berlin.

Tantan was almost tasteless, maybe because it’s served with chicken instead of pork. Tonkotsu was good, but still I wouldn’t come back here. Plus for very quick service

Tried the miso ramen here. It was okay, but nothing special. My partner has the shoyu ramen and that was very disappointing - far too salty and one-note. Karagi chicken was undercooked and not tasty. Not worth the glowing reviews as I'm sure Berlin has far better options on offer for anyone looking for a proper Ramen lunch or dinner in Berlin!

Lunch menu very poor and expensive. Some rice, corn and minced chicken for €10. Extra paid egg was forgotten.

Disaster, disappointment. The quality of the food wasn't really there. No interaction with the waitress, they weren't interested in helping us with order or asking about our experience at all. For this quality any place is too much

Very good, authentic food. Friendly service and a good selection of food and drinks.

On weekdays and early afternoon there is no queue and delicious food, you can do that :)

Craze on the palate. A must-see on the Berlin map. Culinary orgasm.

Gorgeous place to eat. We ordered the vegan ramen but it was too spicy for my wife and they were kind enough to prepare another one at no additional cost.

I once became aware of it through a YouTube post because it was highly recommended. Ramen (with wonton and chicken) was ok, but nothing more. Unfortunately the broth completely lacked spice and sophistication, just salty. The price of €15 was clearly too high for that. Plus point: you can sit outside very nicely with a view of the Graefekiez. Maybe it was good years ago. I can't explain the many positive reviews here any other way. Or the “hip factor” of the restaurant, as is unfortunately so often the case in Berlin, clouds the taste buds here. Conclusion: no recommendation. Taste and quality of ingredients below average, price too high.

Ok, it's really expensive all the starters and really small. The ramen itself is nothing outstanding, I think it's a bit expensive for what you get. But the size it's ok. The service is fast accept card.

Super tasty and freshly prepared ramen. They were really delicious

Almost four stars, but you know: I'm strict... appetizer great, ramen was too basic for us and to be honest... nothing to look at. In terms of taste, the main course wasn't anything overwhelming, but it was ok. Then why the deductions? The prices. Crazy, how expensive. 3.5€ for 0.2l Cola (!!!)? So for two people, one main course and one starter each: around €50. In my opinion, too expensive for absolutely normal basic noodles. Service, hygiene and ambience: TOP! If you love ramen, you've come to the right place and you can't go wrong.

Ramen was so incredibly good, I haven't been this happy at a restaurant in a long time.

Very tasty ramen! Dishes a little expensive, but given the area and the place it's okay.

This place sets the scene for a good experience in Japanese cuisine. There selection of Ramen is absolutely perfect and the atmosphere in the place is cozy and relaxed. I got their Tan Tan which was good spicy.

Faaaaantastic place for ramen & Asian side dishes. The only thing we didn’t like was the desserts - we tried them both and they were super disappointing.

Come here you will never need to go to Japan for ICHIRAN RAMAN!

A little expensive, the most basic ramen costs 13.5 euros and it is without meat

Service was quick, even if a dish was forgotten. But very tasty

Tasty ramen and drinks. Very fast service and nice atmosphere

We just wanted delicious ramen and that's what we got. For me there was the vegan version - absolutely recommended. The ambience was great and the service was super nice. I'll be back

If you have had real ramen this place will not satisfy your tastebuds.

Another empire, a place where you used to write home about, meets a raise of prices and decrease of quality. Sad for us all, foodies

I really have to highlight the worst customer service I’ve had so far. Taking out seasoning, cutlery because they are closing soon (in 1 hour ???!!!), same for our place, and finishing by being yelled, insulted because we are not giving tips????

Very good ramen, small selection but more options are not necessary.

It used to be a good place in Rahmen but it's not anymore, the food is poor quality and the price is high. Not recommendable.

Sadly this place is not what it used to be. The quality of the food is regular to bad and the prices are super high. Went to be my fav place to never want to go again.

so, this is the second time I’m trying this place, it’s the second time I’m not liking the food. But, it’s only me. I came here for lunch today, trying to snag a €10 cheap lunch and to see what it’s worth. I ended up getting a huge bowl of rice, which was covered in, canned corn and the other half consistent of minced chicken meat. In fact, the chicken was so minced that it kind of grossed me out because who knows what was actually in there? ew. 😂 Basically, my lunch consisted of a huge pile of carbohydrates with some protein, and one small green little vegetable. Either way, doesn’t matter, Cocolo is very popular and I’m sure they’re not gonna run out of business because of my Little impression. Add more veggies 🥗

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always great. Definitely the best ramen I’ve had in Berlin!

Worst Ramen ever! The miso ramen was super salty I asked kindly to change the dish and the waiter suggested to add more broth obviously I didn’t go away. I feel super nauseous and sick after this dish. Never again in this horrible place. Enjoy the 13 euros you got from me.

Not very popular with the residents due to the noise and the queue in front of the shop, but once you're seated it's fine. A little hint: from the soup, pick out the noodles, then ask for a second helping.

The food is fine. Broth was missing a bit of flavour (tantan).

Consistently solid ramen. I've eaten much worse, but also some better ones, so one star is deducted. For me the broth could have had a little more depth. Personally, I prefer the pak choi to be pre-cooked a little, otherwise it is a bit too firm for me and still has too many bitter substances. Otherwise the noodles would have needed a little more.

The best Cocolo in Berlin - definitely try it out. Favorites: Karaage, Tantan, Tonkotsu.

Kind of disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options. There's one vegetarian Ramen and it's nice but not super special. Only veggie protein option is egg.

All around solid ramen in a great location. Ideally you don't eat there during prime time due to high demand.

Overhyped, waaaay too overpriced. Too loud. Tonkotsu broth was tasteless and thin. It should be boiled for like a day and surely this wasn’t. Staff is extremely rude and I was forced to leave a tip. The karaage chicken was raw inside, a step closer to food poisoning. Never again. Surely there are better and cheaper places in Berlin for ramen.

Egg hard boiled. Rude staff. Not worth the Price.

Great restaurant. I think the ramen is solid and the side dishes are really nice. The drinks are also good. The service and ambience was very good.

We were looking for a good ramen and this turned out to be one of the best. We arrived there at 8:45 PM and were seated quickly, with friendly service Our order was also taken quickly and the starters arrived very quickly and one after the other. Gyozas were tasty but not fried and on the lukewarm side. The meat inside was just barely raw. Karage chicken was great. We had the Tonkotsu ramen, it was OK but not very tasty + not much garnish in… When we finished eating it was 10 pm and the staff were already clearing the terrace by turning off the lights and tidying up everything. They then asked us to leave while we were waiting for our taxi which arrived in the 5 minutes. This is a downside and not very customer friendly.

The food was good, but €6 for .75L of water? Feel like I was robbed 🙂‍↔️😂 come on guys

We tried different ramens and all of them were great. Gyoza also tasty Lot of place inside and outside. Highly Recommended

We ordered two different ramens and both tasted not fresh and very salty. One ramen gave a food poisoning! The worst ramen experience, unfortunately

I've been here repeatedly over the last few years. At first it was my favorite restaurant for ramen after Mori Mori. Unfortunately, the quality has continuously declined and at the same time the prices have increased significantly. This lunchtime the ramen was well below average. The broth was thin and bland, the noodles were not cooked through and about half as many as a year ago, but the egg was cooked through and fridge cold. I was served nicely in the spirit of a hipster bar, but I noticed how a male guest was treated absolutely unacceptable, apparently because of his gender. He had the same concern as me, wanting to sit at a table, but in contrast to me, he was snippily relegated to a table next to the open door with a roll of his eyes. He kindly asked for another table as he was sitting in the freezing cold breeze. He was rejected with a harsh no. Subsequent female guests were again allowed to choose their tables. Conclusion: It's a shame chocolate... I really enjoyed being here.

Cute restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. Tantan Ramen was tasty and would recommend Karaage as a starter.

Food is very tasty and fresh. Service was appaling. The waiter made disparaging comments on the amount of tip and I felt pressured: this is unheard of in hospitalities. Please take note of this, Cocolo Ramen.

The people serving are super friendly, and we didn't wait long for the ramen to arrive at our table. The place was full that day, a little uncomfortable to talk but we were comfortable anyway. The tonkotsu was exquisite.

Nice workers, delicious food and lots of choice

delicious ramen Reservations are recommended, the restaurant fills up

Everything was great, highly recommended

Very very strong food. Had tonkotsu for lunch and it was more than enough. If I were you I would try something different although it was very good

This is now my 4th ramen restaurant in Berlin and I don't know where all the reviews come from. I ordered negi shoyu, which only consisted of spring onions, chicken and the soup. (Supposedly it should still contain vegetables) It was very intense. Not positively intense, but rather it was too much maggi and beef broth.

Extremely friendly and attentive service, lovingly prepared ramen!

Love it. .you need to try to belly pork side dish it’s amazing

Amazing food - Tantan ramen is my favourite - the service is good and the ambient always nice - you must have to queue but it worth it

The food was fine, but i had really bad experience with Service and atmosphere there. Because of the good weather we supposed to seat outside but the Waitress rejected us to seat there because of rush at the Lunch soon even there were lots empty tables. And suddenly she asked us join with other table seat together. But other customers possessed big tables only 2-3 people like us. And after paying i saw that there were more two people tables outside even they reached there after us. That’s somehow unfair and felt racism. i would never visit there again.

Wooden benches uncomfortable for a longer time. The Shio Ramen isn't good.

The atmosphere is super nice the food is great and the staff is so kind and nice that it disarmed me ♥️ Really a nice experience

You sit on the bench for a long time, so you can sit with others. Service was quick as we were there for an early dinner. The soup was good and thick. The meat was ok but not great. Eggs were not marinated, a bit of a disappointment. It was a nice touch to use pickled ginger to balance the dish. For the price a fine meal.

Our beer glass broke, we are not sure if it fell or exploded, the fact is that there was glass everywhere, one of us was covered with beer. The staff arrived after a long time. No one asked us if we needed help. They dried the beer with newspaper sheets. There was probably glass in one of the ramen noodles and we had to ask them to change it. At the end of the story, we paid for 3 ramen (even the one they brought back to us). They clearly did not bring the beer back to us or ask if we wanted another one or if everything was OK.

Well would be nice to know they're on holidays before I came here 🤠

Had my hopes up since the review were so good. Sadly I was a but disappointed. I had the Tonkotsu and my friend had the veggie Miso. The broth was not strong enough flavor wise and the meat in my tonkotsu wasn’t amazing, I expected the pork belly to melt in my mouth but it was a bit rough. Also. The egg. It was a hard boiled egg not the marinated one I usually love in my Ramen. My friends miso was kinda boring and no tofu etc available as an option if you’re a vegetarian/vegan.

One of the best ramen that I tried

Lovely atmosphere and great tasting ramen. Not surprising there is always a line(although it moves fast). Although I feel that lately the tonkotsu broth has gotten a lot thinner

Very cool frame restaurant. Service and ambience totally harmonious. Frames were super delicious. We just weren't that impressed with the starters. Especially the cucumbers (they were just cucumber slices without any twist - come on!) We tried four different starters - all of them were rather disappointing.

Top Ramen... no need to add anything else

The food was very tasty and good and it was a superb expérience. However the service was very bad even inexistant. A waiter we had never seen came to ask for the note while we were eating, 45 min before the restaurant closed and sent us derogatory comments such as : « Always French » cause he demanded a tip we didn’t give.

It was okay but there is definitely better ramen in Berlin. I honestly don't understand the very good reviews

There were very few vegetarian options and unfortunately I got food poisoning after eating here…

If you happen to be nearby, I recommend this ramen shop and TANTAN Ramen. The taste is good.

The best ramen I've eaten so far in my life! Of all the starters, the Karaage are the best, very juicy and soft chicken. The only negative point is the hard benches, which become a bit uncomfortable if you stay for a long time, but there is something.
