Life Berlin in Berlin

Cozy little restaurant with very delicious Ramen options and friendly Service. The food is authentically Japanese and super tasty. I tried the vegan Ramen along with some tofu karaage, which were fantastic meatless options. I can fully recommend visiting.

10/10 such great food, always happy!!:)

I went on a Sunday after the flea market and it was not that busy at lunch time. The ramen was very good and the service was very prompt.

It's rare to eat ramen full of Japanese flavor.

By far the most tasty vegan ramen I had in Berlin 🫶

The ramen at Life Berlin is very tasty. The broths are rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. The service is also friendly. If you're looking for a delicious and authentic ramen experience in Berlin, I highly recommend checking out Life Berlin.

The ramen tastes like homemade. Which I think is very good. The portions are good. The service is on point, the waiters are very cordial and attentive. I recommend ordering the Wantan as a starter

Not too many options but food is great . Service on the other hand is terrible.

Very tasty - one of the best ramen here in Berlin

Excellent ramen and Japanese small plates in a charming location by the water. They serious about keeping it a neighborhood place, so no reservations, cash only.

What else to say… No ramen, no life! This ramen shop offers honest cuisine: what you see is what you get. Simple perfection.

since I went to japan, I never found a ramen that was good enough (or even that tasted like an original ramen). however, I tried this place and in the first bite, it brought me back to tokyo. the taste of this ramen is just amazing - so so so good and worth the price! the staff is also so kind.

So delicious! We tried the Chicken Karaage and the Shoyu Ramen, both 10/10! Service was very kind and attentive, and the ambiance was nice and peaceful. Overall a great experience :)

We were at Life on a Thursday evening in August. Service was nice and food came quickly. In my opinion it's not enough for five stars, especially when you compare it to American standards. Food was fantastic. I had the cachu shoyu ramen. It had a very intense taste. The cashu was wonderfully juicy and the egg was super tasty. I have no comparison from Berlin, but the tastiest ramen in a long time. The vegan ramen was also delicious.

I am sorry but the ramen here was quite bad, it was just water salt and noodles. I was extremely disappointed.

Overpriced ramen, that didn't even tasted well. Location is nice, but I wouln't repeat eating here anymore. There are better options around.

My favorite ramen in Berlin. Small menu with mega good dishes. Shoyu, shio, karaage. Dear! Super Service. You actually always get a table straight away.

Nicely decorated and cool that the kitchen is open plan. The food is good, the consistency of the noodles was a bit too soft for my taste and there could have been a bit more components in the ramen. Unfortunately, the service wasn't particularly accommodating. Overall it's worth a visit. I can't recommend the Genmai tea, but I can recommend the chicken karaage and the yuzu soda.

The noodles were chewy and the soup was very delicious! Each piece of fried chicken is large and juicy. Recommended for Japanese people too! I'll come back later!

Really nice people and authentic Japanese food. We recommend!

Located directly on the shore. Tables inside and outside. Fantastic ramen. Very nice, friendly staff. Fair prices. Tip: flowers and bouquets are also available here. The yuzu lemonade is very tasty.

The food is salty. The staff is rude from start to finish. The price is expensive for the amount of food. There is no reason to visit this restaurant again.

The chicken karaage is amazing, so are the yuzu cocktails

Super Service; large portions and fresh ingredients!

Good ramen 👌🏽 Highly recommended 🌸

I did not expect to find such good authentic ramen in Berlin. I wish they had other types of noodles like Abura Soba or Tsukemen as well. But all in all it was delicious. Staff was nice. Will come back for more.

The Japanese waiter with a beard had a bad attitude. The ramen was overpriced and not worth the cost. I recommend going to a different ramen restaurant.

Biggest regret was not to come sooner. 2 years ago our Japanese friend brought us here to eat Karaage saying that it was the best Karaage in Berlin. We always wanted to come back, but we never got the opportunity. We’ve returned today and oh my god is this place good. We had a bowl of Shoyu ramen and a portion of Karaage. The Karaage still amazing, really crunchy and juicy. However, the ramen was the surprise. Nice umami without to heavy. It wasn’t too salty either and the noodles had a great bite to them. Cashu was very tender and juice and had a nice flavour to it. However, the only component I didn’t like is the eggs. I prefer my egg yolk more in the jammy side and less on the hard boiled. Overall, amazing spot.

best karaage i've had in a while, the sauces very good (i recommend you get the tartare sauce as well). vegan tantan has the depth i've missed in many other places. would like the topping to be a bit more flavourful than just crumbled tofu, and i personally would like it spicier.

Great service and delicious food, including vegan selections

the karaage was amazing but sadly we didn’t really like the ramen :(

We had a great time, the ramen was delicious, as was the fried chicken. Go for it, you won't regret it.

Nice restaurant, great service, food was good but nothing to remember.

My absolute favorite ramen restaurant in Berlin! There are many options in the city, but only a few that are really good. My favorite is the vegan Tantan, really super tasty! And in my opinion the best karaage chicken you can find in the city. Nice staff (who primarily speak English) and also a cool restaurant. Highly recommended!

Nice quiet Place, exzellent food and Yuzu- Drinks! 10/10

Really love this place. Best shoyu ramen in town. Very sophisticated flavour

Basically they have 3 ramen soups and a few starters. But. They're so, SO GOOD, you don't need anything else. Friendly and quick service too. Totemo oishi desu! ❤️

Six of us were there for dinner yesterday and it was recommended to us. We all had ramen and various bowls. The basic soup was mediocre to average, it simply lacked the intense flavor and the ingredients were a bit low. The bowls were really very bad in terms of taste, that is, hardly seasoned and of course there was a lot of rice in the lower part, which is totally okay, but that made the dish really very dry and tasteless. We were looking forward to it but unfortunately we were disappointed - there are definitely better places in Berlin where you can get these dishes.

Very good! More vegetables in vegan ramen would be good!

An unexpected best ramen experience in berlin! The restaurant is full of Japanese sauce’s scent. We ordered two ramen with a small pork rice. The ramen’s texture, soup, is super authentic and nice. The charsu is very tender and tasty. The ramen soup goes super well with the pork rice. Price is also economic. i will definite try again.

Very good ramen, lots of noodles. Broth was something magical ✨highly recommended

One of the best vegan Ramen in town!! Lovely staff and if you like flowers, well you’ll find your happiness here ;)) the Shoyu lacks a bit of Umami… though…

Not saying this lightly but best ever ramen I had, chapeau...

One of the best chicken Karaage i ever had. Super cozy atmosphere. lovely service. CU again

I‘ve been a few times now and it’s always been cosy, friendly and tasty! great location and kinda back in the day berlin vibes created by japanese folks :)

Vegan Tantan Ramen was incredible. We added some eggs and the result was amazing.

The best Ramen in Kreuzberg, bar none.

You defiantly should go there for the Vegan Tantan Ramen, it’s delicious. And also the starters like fried chicken/tofu are made with love. Always a recommendation if you’re in the area and looking forward to get some Ramen.

Super tasty and authentic Japanese Cuisine 👌 had the Karage as a side dish and the Shoyu Ramen (noodles were perfectly cooked, not to many toppings, just as I like it) as the main course- highly recommend it! As a drink I had the yuzu lemonade, that was really refreshing. We came as a group of six, had no problem to find a table at around 6/7pm on a wednesday without a reservation. The staff is super nice and attentive! We will come again! Thank you!

Truly authentic Japanese ramen. The vegan tantan ramen broth was incredibly flavorful and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I’ll be coming back for sure!

The Ramen did not convince us unfortunately. Could be more aromatic, and had little topping. The fried chicken is delicious! And we were overlooked by the waiters for quite a while in the back of the restaurant.

Wir hatten einen klaren Favoriten: die Shoyu Ramen. Die können wir auch definitiv weiter empfehlen. Allerdings ist‘s ein bisschen enttäuschend dass es nur 1 Scheibe Chashu gab und das andere Schweinebraten war, obwohl das so nicht in der Karte steht. Der hat uns auch nicht so gut geschmeckt. Die anderen Ramen haben uns beiden leider gar nicht geschmeckt. Wir hatten als Vorspeise noch einen Karaage Salat und das war wirklich mega gut! Und man sollte idealerweise englisch können beim Bestellen.

Wir essen hier sehr gerne! Die Auswahl an Ramen ist sehr limitiert (beispielsweise keine Tonkotsu) aber wer vor allem auf klare Brühen steht, kommt ganz auf seine Kosten! Es gibt auch eine vegane Option. Karage sind auch sehr lecker, aber vor allem haben uns die Wan Tan überzeugt. Sehr lecker und entspanntes Ambiente :)

Very good Ramen but a little over priced it seems.

Tolles Ramen Restaurant am Maybach-Ufer, Achtung: ausschließlich mit Hühnerbrühe, wer hier Tonkotsu-Ramen sucht, ist hier fehl am Platz. Das ist aber gar nicht schlimm, denn sie können sehr gut mit dem o.g. Ramen punkten, alle Zutaten sind frisch und sehr lecker zubereitet. Alles passt zusammen, alle Mal einen Besuch wert.

This is personally not my favourite kind of ramen, a clear one, which I've got there, and could be a bit more aromatic, but all ingredients were super fresh and of great quality, also very professional service and cool, typical Kreuzberg interior. Definitely worth trying

Authentic Japanese food, best ramen in town :)

The best Shio ramen in Berlin, by a long shot.

Really hate leaving bad reviews - but this one was a real disappointment. We ordered about 20 mins before three other tables ordered (one table being about 10 people) hoping to get our food before the big tables, but after waiting over an hour, all tables had received their meal and were almost finished. When we received the ramen, it was also pretty disappointing. It seems they probably forgot about us which I understand happens, but to serve three tables around us while only two of us wait right in front of them is pretty unbelievable. (Also the prices here are insanely expensive) Just beware!

Most authentic Japanese ramen place in Berlin! Absolutely love their classic shoyu as well as their vegan ramen.

Best ramen in Berlin, always come here for the vegan one + tofu on the side, so good!

They don't have a lot of options. We choose Shoyu and Vegan Ramen. It was really good and we are probably coming back to eat it again.

Eine, nach alter japanischer Tradition, hergestellte Suppe (Ramen) gegessen. Vorzüglicher Geschmack, mit besten Zutaten zubereitet. Köstlich und gehaltvoll, dass es eine vollwertige Mahlzeit ist. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Sehr gute Ramen, einfaches Lokal

Berlin’s best ramen! A real staple!

expensive and not tasty. one star for the staff as this was only we enjoyed

One of the rare authentic japanese restaurants in berlin, friendly and efficient service, very honest prices and nice deco & music to enjoy the delicious food and drinks:)

As a Japanese I guarantee that this is the best ramen restaurant in Berlin. I’d go to this place even if it’s in Japan. Forget about other hypes. It’s just waist of money. Update : After the main chef has left, the quality has been declining. It’s not as good as it used to be but still holds better than average quality.

My favorite Ramen restaurant anywhere in Berlin. Not only is the staff exceptionally nice and always makes us feel extra welcome (I’m happy to see them every team), but the food is also insanely good. Sad they took the other vegan ramen off the menu, but the vegan tantan was always my favorite and can help make any rainy day that much better. On the live music nights, there is lovely music that never feels like too much but just always perfectly matching the mood. Love this restaurant, love the staff <3

The best ramen I had so far in Berlin . There is a reason it’s called life <3 Karaage is straight fire 🔥even the wantan are super tasty. 12/10 for this place .

スタッフの方も親切で、お料理も今まで食べたものはすべて美味しかったです。 野菜の揚餃子はぜひ食べてみてほしい。めちゃくちゃビール、もしくはハイボールにあいますよ。

Buya will win every battle over these Ramens, the last two visits were to "Peppery" or "Salty" - I miss the Vegan recipe from 2 years ago.

Super Ramen. Kräftige Suppe und breites Angebot. Gerade bei den Extras habe sie schöne Menüs. Nette Bedienung

Fantastic clear broth ramen and super nice Japanese staff

Der Vegane und der Shoju Ramen waren köstlich. Nur etwas teuer. Aber sind gut Satt geworden.

Too expensive for what you get. Ramen (€20 with add-in) is tasty but not enjoyable. Friendly service.

This is my fourth time visisting Life Berlin, and the aramen si absolutely delicious and well made. The serving staff are also the loveliest bunch I have seen in a highly :) I hope the place flourishes and will get to grow. I will want to eat here in the near future. Arigato gozaimasu!

Life Berlin wass my favorite Japanese restaurant a year ago. Now the tantan ramen not delicious anymore, Absolutely not satisfying taste.

Ramen and karaage was so nice✨✨

Best ramen in Berlin, yes yes yes, I’ve said it and stand for it :) The vegan one is SO GOOD! (Added extra egg topping) Plus the humans working there are soooo lovely 🥹 Very nice to have some food on Sundays while the Maybachufer flea market is happening right in the front ✨

Life Berlin used to be one of our favorite ramen spots in Berlin, but sadly now everything has changed. The flavor of our favorite Tantan ramen is not like it used to be, and the price however becomes insanely high at 17€. Even the Yuzu tea tastes worse than before :( What upset us the most: The waiter (with long dreadlocks ponytail) had a kinda cold and unwelcoming manner, but specifically requested for tips when we checked out. We felt strongly that we were not treated with respect. In a word, we had a really bad experience and wouldn’t recommend it anymore.

Lovely place. The ramen is on the expensive side but the Vegan one (Tantan) is extremely tasty. The meat shoyu was very average and the starters did not impress us. But the tantan will reamain in my memory!

Unfortunately the ramen I got was not that good. Stock was tasty but it was mainly filled with noodles. Hardly anything more.

Best shoyu ramen in Berlin. Period.

First time was absolutely amazing. Second time was a major let down. I’m sure the inflation is to blame, but the price comparatively to the food is a massive misfire. It’s a shame but I won’t be coming back anytime soon. I will miss the karaage chicken for sure :(

Der Laden war früher wirklich gut, mittlerweile teuer. Und: Nur wenn man was essen möchte, bekommt man auch einen freien Tisch. Wer nur was trinken möchte, wird um 20:00 Uhr wieder weggeschickt.

Finde die kleine Karte gut. Sehr leckere Ramen…

alright, but as mentioned before, is also extremely overpriced. €17 ramen cannot be justified even by today’s standards.

Very tasty Ramen, always a good place to eat around the corners

The ramen is still delicious, but prices went up crazy. 17€ for a noddle soup with only a thin slice of meat is just way too much.

Haut mich echt nicht vom Hocker. Der Service war ok. Der ganze Laden riecht nach Friteuse, inklusive mir. Ramen, war OK. Preis-Leistung leider gar nicht. 22€ für ne Nudelsuppe und eine Yuzo Schorle (Citrus Schorle (so lala)) finde ich unangemessen.

Very nice ramen and chicken karage not so fan of their gyoza’s. We had Shio and Shoyu. Service was very good and price was correct on the pricier side I might say.

Super lecker, unglaublich gute Ramen und freundlicher Service. Danke!

Not a cozy and one of the most expansive Ramen places in Berlin - our Siho was ok’ish, very minimal (no greens, just broth (very salty), good ramen noodles, egg and one slice of meat - no add ons possible (sesame ect.) and a rather small portion for 16,50€ - not the worst, but it is def. not the best Ramen place in Berlin as other reviews stated here, rather average and one of the most overpriced ;) that’s our opinion. The 2 stars is a strategic vote, we would give 3, but there are just too many 5* ratings

I had a vegan ramen with an extra egg. The soup itself was very subpar. I would probably not complain if it was like €10. But it set me back €20! €17 for the basic ramen and €3 for the egg. It‘s ridiculous how overpriced this place is. Also, they have terrible ventilation, so expect to stink with grease after the not-worth-your-money-at-all dinner. They take cards and give free tap water. Definitely not coming back here again. I‘d recommend Buya Ramen not far away instead. Their place doesn‘t stink, ramen is at least 25% cheaper, and tastes at least 100% better.

Ich fand es leider zu teuer. 17€ für eine vegane Bowl Ramen! Leider ist die Lüftung nicht ausreichend, man riecht danach auch total nach Fritteuse.

Very tasty Ramen. Actually a genuine Japanese team. Suprisingly pricy. Also selling flowers 😄

Best service , Food, and quality.

The tantan ramen is my favourite comfort food, always top quality with a lovely staff

Das vegane Tantan Ramen ist megalecker und schön scharf. Der Yuzu-Tee schmeckt auch richtig gut. Das Essen kam sehr schnell und die Bedienung war freundlich. Das Essen ist nicht ganz günstig, aber ich finde, es ist seinen Preis wert.
