Menya Ikko in München

The food is amazing, the best ramen I've ever had. The atmosphere is very cozy and authentic. The owner is incredibly friendly! I would highly recommend it to everyone.

A real Japanese person in Bavaria!

Very tasty, very good service, highly recommended!

Very authentic, absolutely recommended!

We had Tan Tan Men Ramen and Karaage. The ramen was absolutely delicious. One of the best I have had in Munich and pretty close to what I have eaten in Tokyo. Karaage was also good. Nice service and ambience

The best ramen and miso I had in Munich

Summarising multiple visits in 2 years: Great ramen (maybe one of the best in Munich at the same price level!) place run by friendly Japanese owners. The waiters are friendly and super polite (especially the grandpa!). They have limited human power, so sometimes ramen tastes a bit overcooked when there is a full house, but absolutely great on a usual day. The fried chicken is juicy and warm, if you ordered an extra topping chicken, it comes on a side plate instead of directly in the soup (huge plus!).

I went there for lunch. The place was run by one person who handled both the kitchen and the dining area, and they seemed really busy. Since the kitchen is downstairs, it’s hard to take care of new customers while cooking. It might be nice if they had one more staff member to help out. I went there for lunch. The owner was running both the dining area and the kitchen by himself, so it seemed very busy. In particular, the kitchen seems to be in the basement, so it's difficult to handle new customers while cooking. I think it would be nice if they had at least one more staff member.

The food was very good, the place was very nice, cozy, with relaxing music, and great attention for a reasonable price !

Very traditional Japanese place managed by a couple of Japanese experts who care deeply about ingredients and quality. Although ramen is always a great idea, the best dishes here are sushi menus and meat bbq (better to order in advance by phone). Approved by my Japanese husband!

The menu is useless since you get what is available (1 type of ramen), the service is slow and unorganized. Plates come out one at the time and not in order. Price is waay to high...3€ for a glass of water is mad

The best food I've eaten in munich so far

Super delicious ramen 🍜 in a lovely, authentic restaurant. We'll be back!

Very authentic restaurant. The special miso ramen was fantastic!

The food was truly delicious. Unfortunately, the service that evening was very overwhelmed, and some ingredients were missing. However, the owner was very kind and apologized profusely several times. We hope the service improves soon!

Absolutely great restaurant owner!

The staff was really friendly and nice, even though it didn’t seem that way at first glance. We asked if we could bring a cake for a birthday, and they kindly provided us with a place to store it along with the necessary equipment. The food was good, with quite generous portions. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Service was a bit slow since there was only one waiter, but it was definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended!

The ramen here is as good as any famous ramen place in Japan or Asia! We’re always amazed by how delicious it is!

Excellent in Augsburg, and still the best ramen shop I know! Much love for the special miso ramen! Arigato gozaimasu

We waited more than an hour for our food. Then my order was forgotten. She apologized, but that's just not acceptable! Not enough staff, too much chaos. If you want to eat here, you should plan on plenty of time.

Best ramen in Munich which I tried

Super delicious setting. The noodles are very authentic.

Excellent restaurant. Coming from the US my expectations of any Asian cuisine in Europe were low but the food here would perform well in US cities -- if that's any gauge to go by. The ramen was excellent though the gyoza was a bit greasy and service took some time once seated as if we'd been forgotten. Overall, I'd return. Only visit if you have some time to sit and relax while you eat.

Really tasty ramen from Sapporo. Nice food and service.

The ramen is incredibly delicious and tastes like you'd find in Japan. The tapas/appetizers like takoyaki and karaage are also highly recommended. I'd be happy to come back :)

Very tasty and authentic cuisine. The owner is super nice. 10/10👍👍👍

*Edit, I've been there several times now - and the service is getting worse and worse. Sometimes you wait 1.5 hours for your food, then you say you don't have time and want to leave, and then they bring you some other ramen and you pay the original price of the other one. On top of that, the place often just happens to be closed when they want to open (at least three times) - or when you go in, you're told "no, we're closed" - nobody answered the phone back then, and if you call now, the number is no longer in service. It's a shame, actually. I'm going with the original review, so I'm dropping two stars - for everything. I found Kuromayu (€19) and Karamiso Ramen (€18) with chashu and karaage. Both were pretty tasty, but the miso was significantly better, even though "1 euro" is cheaper. The spiciness was also perfectly fine for someone who never eats spicy food, barely there. The karaage was a much better choice than chashu, but that's just my personal opinion; I like it better. Both times, dishes were sold out or unavailable, so I guess this happens more often. The staff are super friendly, but sometimes you have to wait a little longer to order/pay. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for my budget for a daily lunch, but I'm really hungry. As I said, it's very tasty. I really want to try the okonomiyaki for €24, but that's a bit too expensive for lunch right now. But of course, prices are rising everywhere. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to try other ramen shops. I now find it one of the better ones, especially after the miso ramen.

The appetizers are great! The ramekins are also very tasty, which I can only praise. The portions are large. The price isn't that cheap. I can recommend it.

Super authentic cuisine, finally something new in the area. We were there for lunch today and would love to come back (then for sushi in the evening).

This is the best ramen I've had in Munich! The owner is very friendly, and the karaage and takoyaki are also the best I've had in Munich so far.

I did some research online and decided to go! By the eighth day of my trip to Europe, I was getting tired of Western food, so I went for ramen and sushi. They had run out of tuna sushi and the restaurant was busy, so they gave me a little extra and brought out a bucket of salmon and white fish sushi! The sushi was the best I had on my trip! It was probably at the level of sushi made properly in Japan! (Not the level of sushi you'd get at a ramen restaurant overseas.) The ramen noodles were a little soft, perhaps to suit German tastes? For me as a Japanese person, they were a little too soft, but I guess it was within the realm of acceptability. I read some negative reviews about the service, but I wondered if they were just too busy and sloppy? I realized that both Japan and Germany are struggling with labor shortages. This ramen restaurant also serves delicious sushi, so I recommend it for Japanese people too!

Best ramen in Munich, and luckily for me within walking distance. The food is delicious, the miso ramen is truly delicious. The owners are always lovely and welcoming, and their good mood contributes to the great atmosphere. I will keep coming back!

Very tasty ramen, Japanese-style interior, a really good broth and wonderfully seared juicy pork

This is the second time we tried to order online for pickup, and again the order was canceled 15 minutes after our order was successfully placed. We're big fans of Takumi, and they block online ordering when it's too busy.

Japanese food in Munich has never been so good in terms of price/performance.

Even we made reservation and it was confirmed, restaurant is closed without any notification. So disappointed because we took a time to come here. Never come back

Very nice owner, very nice sushi. I recommend it.

I visited Munich as a stopover in Switzerland. I arrived just a few minutes from the BMW Museum. I had the soy sauce and IKKO SPEZIAL. Both were delicious, especially the noodles! I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in Munich again.

We had made a reservation but the shop wasn't open...

Lovely little ramen joint, service from old matey was excellent.

Seevice was extremely friendly and the food was delicious

Atmosphere is calm may it be lunch or dinner. Table are bit close to each other, a typical japanese style. The staffs are really friendly, though sometimes it takes a while to order. I've tasted nearly all of the items on their menu, from appetizer to main dish. All sorts of their ramen are savory. Looking forward on trying their BBQ Grill.

The ramen tastes fantastic. Very authentic and intensely flavorful. The noodles are cooked to perfection and of high quality. The service is friendly and attentive. My favorite ramen restaurant in Munich.

It was a really tasty ramen. The soup was delicious and the noodles were well-mixed, so I enjoyed it until the last bite. Thank you for taking the time to come over to my table and talk to me during the busy time right after opening in the evening.

Not the best ramen in Munich, it´s ok but the service is a bit slow. The owner is really nice

Service was quite good. I didn't want my kimuchi in the ramen, but it was fine. It was a bit pricey. Many dishes were sold out. Besides, only 0.2 L drinks in 2025 is a disgrace.

Delicious³ We love coming here as a family. Stroller no problem. Super friendly staff and oh my goodness the ramen. Beware, your taste buds will go on an adventure. My goal now is to try every version. I'm coming back and back again

There was only one guy in the restaurant who was constantly absent and made the local run just barely. He was still pretty nice and the ramen was okay. Overall janky but okay.

Very pleasant visit with family

Amazing ramen, authentic Japanese place

When I was bored with Bavarian food in Munich, I was able to eat delicious ramen and rice. Thank you.

うまい！So salty! So meaty! Spicy but full of flavor! I'll recommend this place for local friends in the future. The only minor note I'd ask is for the edamame to be salted more, but that's a matter of asking for extra, no problem. I had a lot of fun trying to communicate with the person at the bar speaking no German and very limited Japanese. But they took my request for onion-free very seriously when I successfully communicated. They deserve a sixth star just for this.

Great, delicious food. Traditional cuisine away from the usual sushi. There were so many delicious dishes

Delicious ramen and especially karaage.

The food was really good and everything else was fine. Definitely a recommendation!

We always come here from Augsburg because we think the ramen and karage are so delicious! We love it!!

I found the food very tasty and the service team was also super friendly. I would always like to come back.

Had vegetarian ramen and was really disappointed. Too bad. We always heard good things about the shop when he was in Augsburg. Nevertheless, thank you for the lovely service.

Really tasty appetizers, solid ramen but expensive drinks and nice staff. Gladly again

Great appetizers and ramen! Friendly service. The appetizers were especially exceptional! Thank you!

Authentic Japanese restaurant with a small selection, but everything done perfectly. Will visit many more times, the black garlic ramen was amazing.

Very authentic ramen Very good ramen, same as in Japan Will come again

Was there for the fourth time now and the food is simply incredibly good. Best ramen in Munich, in my opinion! Service is attentive and courteous. Any time!

Very highly recommended! I had a bento box that included beautifully juicy fried chicken and one of the best curries of my life. The service was also very friendly

Overall, a lovely japanese restaurant in the neighbourhood. We were delighted to see this type of place in this area. The staff is very kind and the atmosphere is pleasant. I’ve deducted 1 star because: 1. The tables are really close to one another, so there is no intimacy of conversation, no place to hang your coat and bag. 2. Although the staff is very kind, they do take a while to take your order. 3. A bigger issue we had is that we ordered the Tan tan ramen and 4 ingredients were missing: mincemeat, soybeans, onions, broccoli. We didn’t make it a big deal, but we asked about it at the end of our meal and didn’t receive an apology, rather a “this is our traditional japanese meal”. Anyway, the food was very very delicious. Even with the missing ingredients, the portions were very big and the sauce was very tasty. Aside from the small issues, we recommend the Tan tan ramen and special miso ramen, as well as the balls with octopus meat (we call them octopus pancakes).

Super tasty, nice service, nice ambience, very good value for money

Go and be inspired by just good food. Only able to try a fraction, large portions. We'll definitely be back.

Super tasty ramen and Japanese snacks. Friendly service and good service. It's worth eating here, I can't do the elaborate cooking myself at home.

Since the owner is from Sapporo, the miso ramen here is just like in Japan!

Today we ate for the first time at Menya Ikko, a small Japanese izakaya just a few steps away from the Milbertshofen subway station. We were greeted and served in a friendly and very courteous manner. On the recommendation of the chef, who comes from Sapporo, we chose miso ramen. What can I say... for me it's the best miso ramen in Munich! The chef lives up to his hometown of Sapporo with his truly authentic Sapporo Miso Ramen. The other dishes (karaage, sushi and gyoza) were also very tasty and freshly prepared. Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) is also on the menu alongside other typical Izakaya dishes. Arigato gozaimashita for a nice evening and see you soon!

I'm not Japanese, but the ramen here is incredibly close to what I ate back in Japan. The broth is strong and balanced, the chashu is super tender, and the toppings such as corn, broccoli and spinach round the whole thing off perfectly. Especially the noodles – just the right bite! I ate everything with peace and enjoyment, right down to the last noodle - really mindfully. The Kirin also fit perfectly.

Half of the map was not available. If you are allowed to guess what is available on the menu when ordering, something is wrong. No sushi available, no bentos available, no gyoza, no mochi with bacon, no camembert with bacon. The service doesn't speak German and rolls its eyes when you want to pay separately for two main courses and a starter...once and never again.

Apparently the card payment machine is broken during the day and have to pay with cash. When I paid 100 euros, the old man got upsets and said he didn't accept large amounts and that he didn't have any change. When I said, "The person before me paid, so you should have some change," he said, "How snaky(卑しい)" I was shocked.Ofcourse he had change. I was disappointed that there were shameless people working there. It didn't seem to be the owner.I never come back.I don't recommend it. Ramen and karaage is not bad. takoyaki is like a frozen one.

Super good ramen and very nice, funny service. Hot is really hot! Better say it twice

Friendly,authentic service.Food was great,very tasty despite Chefs recommendation that we come later to try the broth with ramen,he explained it usually takes at least 6 hours for full flavour to be fully appreciated. We will go back again soon!!

Very nice authentic Japanese restaurant.

Nice restaurant, nice hosts and very tasty food

A Japanese restaurant with lots of soups. The soups were hot, had many different ingredients and tasted really good. You can go there again. however, it is not cheap.

It is one of the few restaurants in Germany where you can enjoy high-quality miso ramen, so I was indebted to them, and the fried chicken and okonomiyaki side dishes were even more delicious. Apparently they also have barbecue, so I'd like to try that next time.

Delicious ramen. Friendly service.

Very authentic ramen in a modern atmosphere. A bit expensive considering the price level in Japan. But well, it's exotic cuisine here and not everyday food...

I was here yesterday with my friends and had a good experience. We ordered yakiniku for four and sushi with it. Meat, vegetables and sushi are very fresh and tasty. Honestly, the price matches the quality. Service is very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was cozy and quiet. We will be back and Highly recommend!!

We were there on a Saturday evening. Tantanmen was already very spicy. My two companions had to fight, she said. My Ikko special with five slices of meat! It was also spicier than I thought. But everything is very delicious. Especially karaage!! It's a shame there wasn't any sushi or okonomiyaki that day. Then we'll come again. Thanks for the nice conversation and sweets after dinner!

Just like Japanese ramen! I received the spicy miso. The soup had an addictive flavor with a perfect combination of garlic and spicy miso. The store clerk was also a fun person.

Very friendly Japanese chef and owner. Authentic Tonkotsu Ramen.

We ordered two ramens and an appetizer. Unfortunately the ramen didn't come at the same time and the appetizer came at the same time as the 2nd ramen. The broth tasted very good, the additions were rather sparse, but the taste was also good. It was not possible to order sushi - unfortunately no information was given when the menu was issued. Price-performance for the overall impression of the evening is rather below average.

The taste of the food was very good. Had Karamiso Ramen once with and once without meat, as well as Miso Ramen and Edamane as a starter. We've had better edamanese elsewhere, but they were okay. The ramen with pork belly is difficult to eat because there is no knife at the table. I would recommend opting for the grilled chicken here. The vegetarian version should be cheaper because only cheap potatoes are used instead of meat, but the price is the same Ambiance and sanitary facilities are so-so. Overall it was OK, but I'm sure we won't be back as there's nothing out of the ordinary.

The ramen was outstanding - authentic and flavorful! One minor issue: my order was missing the pork cut. Still, highly recommended.

Super delicious and funny staff :) A piece of Japan in Munich 🇯🇵😍

The place is ok and food is good. I ordered a spicy dish, but it was just too spicy. They could offer different levels.

Soy sauce ramen, noodles are lumpy

Very good food; Shoyu Rahme is my personal recommendation. Also suitable for families with small children

Very good service with a very good sense of humor! Always happy again

The best ramen of my life, great and fast service (hats off to the lady who felt like she ran the place single-handedly and was still open to every question) and a great atmosphere. Definitely a culinary upgrade for all of Milbertshofen!

I have eaten at Menya Ikko twice and will not go again. The ramen was disappointing: the broth was way too salty, the corn was obviously canned, and the eggs were cold. I ordered the vegetarian version and cold potatoes were served instead of meat. Overall the dish looked cheap, which is not ok considering the price ranges from 17 to over 20 euros per portion. The service was OK, but that couldn't make up for the poor quality of the food. We wanted to order sushi as an appetizer, which was on the menu, but we were told it wasn't available because the chef wasn't there. This was irritating and left us wondering who made our ramen then. The ambience is okay, but the men's toilet was broken on both visits. The price-performance ratio is not right for me at all. In comparison, I recently ate ramen in Hamburg, which was in a completely different league - a great experience with lower prices, a larger selection and top service (MOMO Ramen, highly recommended.) I can see the many positive reviews for Menya Ikko I personally don't understand it. For me it is definitely not the "best ramen in Munich and the surrounding area" as the restaurant claims in its advertising.

Very tasty and friendly service from the senior chef

Authentic Japanese restaurant, with ramen, sushi and other delicacies on the menu. It's best to reserve and order on site. A real enrichment for Milbertshofen. 👌

"I was thrilled with my spontaneous visit to Menya Ikko! The two ramen variants that I ordered to take away were simply delicious. The portions were the perfect size and the taste was balanced and intense. Especially the Black Garlic Oil Miso Ramen I liked it. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere and the staff is very accommodating. I'm looking forward to enjoying the atmosphere when I visit."

Super tasty food, few items were not available on the menu, but the ones we've tried were really great! No free WiFi though

It‘s been almost three years we eat regularly here. We tried once in Augsburg and already fell in love with the authentic Ramen. It is so good that the shop moved to Munich where we live. Lots of people shared about their best Munich Ramen already so I am not going to repeat. We tried the Sukiyaki for the first time last Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. It was really good. The soup with a thick seaweed for cooking match perfectly with the fine slices of Entrecôte. The egg’s dipping gave the cooked food a silky touch. The plate of vegetables, Konjac and Tofu was displayed so nice that your appetite will just shot up. The set came with a homemade Kimchi as appetizer. Each person has a miso soup and a rice. Our tummies were so full and satisfied afterwards. The price is reasonable. One day ahead reservations is needed.
