Monki Ramen in Nürnberg

Very tasty ramen. The salmon appetizer was also very, very good.

The food was good, but it didn't blow me away. The waiters were friendly, and the antisyphilis drink was delicious.

Maximum delicious. Sashimi salad with a perfect blend of yuzu dressing and premium sashimi fish. Juicy Tonkothsu Ramen - with spicy minced meat - my personal signature dish here. Top place to eat 🙌

The food was great. I had the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, and it was amazing! You can customize all the toppings (maybe for an extra charge; I had to pay €1 more). I can also highly recommend the Yuzu appetizer; it's delicious and not too sweet. The Lillett was also well-mixed. My friend had the Tempura Udon, which was also very good. The service was also great; we were seated very quickly, even as a large group, and the food arrived shortly after ordering.

My boyfriend and I love Monki so much!! The food is always delicious and, above all, plentiful. The portions are really big, so everyone will be full. Above all, the service is very important here. The service is super friendly, and I'm always surprised at how quickly the food arrives. My boyfriend and I only waited maybe 10 minutes before our food arrived. The service is super friendly, and you just feel at home here. Definitely my favorite restaurant in Nuremberg❤️ I recommend the vegan spicy ramen.

The food was delicious and well worth the price! We were kindly accommodated even without a reservation, service was faster than we could eat, and the restrooms were very clean. If we're ever in town again, we'll definitely visit again!

I went there for dinner with friends today, and it was absolutely delicious! The selection of dishes is very diverse. I had ramen, and it was delicious. The desserts are also very good, and I can recommend the matcha tiramisu :) The restaurant itself isn't particularly large, but it's still nicely decorated. The only thing that bothered me was that there were a lot of very large tables, and you sometimes had to share a table. As a plus, I'd like to mention the menu, which, thanks to the pictures, gives even people who don't know much about Japanese food a good impression and understanding of the dishes. I would go back anytime and can recommend the restaurant. ✨

As soon as you enter this culinary temple of Asian cuisine, you realize that you are not just in a restaurant—you are part of a higher gastronomic experience. It elevates traditional Japanese noodle soup to an art form and completely redefines the concept of perfection.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Monki, and I'm absolutely thrilled. Upon entering the restaurant, you're greeted by a pleasant atmosphere that feels both cozy and stylish. The service was extremely attentive, friendly, and courteous at all times – a big thank you to the entire team 💋

Delicious, fresh food! The service was attentive and prompt, and the food arrived quickly. Special requests were easily accommodated. The value for money was also excellent. So, it's no wonder the place was busy.

Unfortunately, the ceviche was very acidic and almost inedible. That shouldn't happen for €15. The food was otherwise okay, albeit on the pricier side. The ambiance was also okay. Overall, I probably won't be going back there again.

A “monkey” Ramen shop right in the middle of Nurnberg’s old town. Not bad at all!!! Yummy yummy 😋😋😋

The place is amazing. The food is 10/10, but the fried chicken is absolutely insane. They have tons of homemade drink options outside of the typical drinks menu. The entire staff is lovely, super friendly, and very quick and attentive. As an added bonus, the bathrooms were super clean; they even had diaper changing facilities for the babies. Totally recommended!

Great shop, super delicious food. The menu with pictures is particularly appealing and beautifully designed, making it easy to understand what's on offer. The service is overly enthusiastic and sometimes snatches your plate away while you're still chewing 😄 But they mean well and are super friendly, even if some of them have limited German and struggle to understand each other.

Beautiful, modern ramen shop with a wide range of lunch options. Good food and drinks. Good vegan selection. Seating is available outside, but can be noisy due to the pedestrian zone.

The food was great. Everything came out quickly without cutting any corners, despite customers constantly coming & going. Lunch menu was delicious & filling.

The Pleasure of Eating at Home Gastronomy is an important part of our culture and way of life. In this context, I would like to share my experience with a particular restaurant that consistently provides me with an unparalleled taste experience. I regularly visit this establishment to enjoy the variety and quality of the food. But today, I decided to try a new experience: ordering food to my home. I was looking forward to the meal, and I was curious to see if it could compare to the experience I had at a restaurant. The ordering process went smoothly, and I soon smelled the aroma of the food as it was delivered to my door. When I opened the dishes, I was not disappointed. The quality and taste of the food were outstanding, which further confirmed my trust in the restaurant. It was fascinating to experience that the same care and attention to detail that one experiences in the restaurant was also maintained when ordering food to my home. Each dish was not only delicious but also attractively presented. Overall, this was a pleasant surprise, showing me that you can enjoy first-class culinary experiences in your own home. Whether in-restaurant or through home delivery, the delicious food will continue to inspire me to visit this restaurant often.

The ramen is simply perfect. Highly recommended. Choosing an appetizer is also highly recommended. The lighting in the restaurant is a bit too dim. I'd love to come back!

Highly recommended We had sashimi salad and ramen with pork broth Both were very tasty Dessert was very small for the price

A very tasty ramen restaurant, quite small and often busy. It's best to make a reservation in advance. 👍🏼

Very tasty setting. Good service. I'd be happy to come again.

A nice place where you can have a great meal. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. The prices are also quite reasonable. Unfortunately, the small tables outside are very wobbly, so perhaps they could improve that a bit.

I ordered for pickup. The ramen was very good, and the pickup was well organized. It was very well packaged, so I recommend it. The staff was friendly during pickup, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great.

Highly recommended It tasted incredibly delicious, and there's something for every taste. Thanks to the entire team

Salmon carpaccio used to be better

I was at your restaurant today and ordered ramen. Unfortunately, I had diarrhea for the next two hours and it lasted. I haven't eaten anything else since. That's a shame—it probably indicates that something wasn't right.

The food cost more than I expected for a dinner for 2 and I had to miss my train because the waiters were not attentive, since I had to say more than 6 times that I wanted to pay but they forgot about us and did other things like going around the tables

I went back after a month and the quantity was almost half. It's a katsudon, but it's chicken katsudon. The location is good and it comes out quickly, so it's convenient to go, but the atmosphere and taste are a bit disappointing for a quick meal out.

Authentic and delicious food, with prompt service and decent portions

Monki Ramen is a hidden gem in the heart of Nürnberg with warm lighting, cool décor, and upbeat music create a cozy, laid‑back vibe that’s perfect for a comforting meal. The staff greeted us. We tried the Tonkotsu Special, and the broth was incredible - creamy and deeply savory without feeling too heavy. The noodles had just the right bite, and the chashu was melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender. The Spicy Miso Ramen packed a pleasant kick, balanced by sweet corn and perfectly roasted garlic oil. Don’t miss their Gyoza - crispy on the outside and beautifully seasoned inside. Portions are generous, and you can customize your bowl with extra noodles, egg, or chili oil at no extra fuss. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, making it easy to justify a return visit.

Wow, the ramen shop in Nuremberg is horrible. Rarely eaten such bad ramen. the gyoza taste disappointing. Not as well fried as you know it, wrong gyoza sauce. The ramen was pure disappointment. Full of watery broth, hardly any flavor, hardly any spices, just watery and bland. Visually not so inviting either. The egg was also cooked incorrectly - noodles were okay I love ramen and have tried many ramen shops, but the one in Nuremberg was one of the biggest disappointments. Summary: 🤮

Monki está situado en el centro de una gran calle comercial, así que fuimos un poco escépticos al principio, pensando que podría ser una trampa para turistas. Nos equivocamos. La comida era muy buena! Tomé el picante vegano Ramen y estaba delicioso. Tienen una buena selección de platos de carne y verduras, y un menú de bebidas muy agradable (también cervezas japonesas). Sin duda volvería si alguna vez en Nuremberg de nuevo.

Ramen and food here is so authentic, just like the one I had in Japan!!!

Great taste of ramen. As vegetarian and vegan, they have so many options, and the flavor are amazing. Recommend if you want some nice ramen flavor.

My absolute favorite ramen in Nuremberg, I can only recommend it to every ramen lover

Had chicken with Nanban sauce, it formed a composition of various flavors in my mouth accompanied by calm harmony. It was really tasty, together with a Kirin beer we were really well looked after here, which was reinforced by the friendly staff. Every time, KFC is an insult to the chicken animal.

I like to eat there regularly and I think it's great

Delicious ramen soups. Authentic and friendly. The dessert was also super delicious.

Everything was perfect. Food super tasty. Service friendly and attentive. Ambiance also great. Clear recommendation!

The best ramen I've ever eaten! I definitely recommend the Tonkotsu-Shoyu Ramen!

Teníamos una reserva y por suerte lo hicimos, el lugar estaba lleno! Te sientas mesas junto a otros grupos para que esté un poco lleno. Los servidores estaban atentos a pesar de que estaba ocupado. El aperitivo de atún picante era genial! Compartimos eso y luego cada uno tuvo ramen. Realmente gran sabor! Fue un poco caro, pero disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

The best ramen I have eaten in Germany. The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived and we were seated at the table. The food was processed very quickly and everything was delicious. The portions were more than enough. The waiters are always friendly and ready to help. The ramen and salmon carpaccio were really delicious. After the meals, we ordered an Espresso Martini. Everything excellent. Super recommended!

Went here for a quick lunch and it was super tasty. The ramen broth was excellent as was the corn starter. My Asian schnitzel with vegetables was great. The homemade lemonades were flawlessly prepared and not too sweet. Cool decoration. We'll be back.

Outstanding ramen restaurant. Chill atmosphere, great service, and superb food. The spicy tan tan was super on point. Cocktails were also delicious. Highly recommend!!

We were here for the first time today and got a place outside for 3 people without a reservation. The service is friendly, attentive and very quick. Shortly after our order we received the drinks and the salad. The two hot meals arrived at the same time shortly afterwards. The portions are decently sized, which puts the price, which at first glance seems expensive, into perspective - you get enough food for your money here. Payment was also possible without cash, including a tip. I can only recommend this restaurant.

It tastes great and I can only recommend it Very nice service

I can highly recommend this restaurant! The food there is super tasty and the staff are very friendly. The price of the food is really great and the Macha ice cream in particular is really to die for!😻 I also found it very cute to sit outside because sparrows kept visiting us. So a highly recommended restaurant!!!👍

Highly recommended Japanese restaurant, especially at lunchtime. But here you have to be quick or make a reservation. Today the store was full about 15 minutes after opening. Very tasty food with great service.

Really nice food. Thai cooking Japanese food was pretty good.

very delicious ramen, Soup is intense and reasonable price.

very yummy ramen. definitely want to book ahead if you're coming here, it was quite busy for a wednesday. ramen was very flavorful and meat was soft and juicy. nice amount of toppings to broth and noodles. sushi tacos were good too, very good flavor and nice amount of fish on top. service was quick and staff were very kind and helpful. interior was cute. i liked the option to add lime juice or sauce to the top of the food.

Had breakfast there as a guest of the Hotel Melter. Very good service, good breakfast, pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, we weren't able to test Monki's food. Maybe next time.

Great food at a fair price. The Karaage was very crispy, light and fresh with a nice sauce and lemon wedge. The Ramen had a flavourful broth, great noodles and some delicious and unique toppings. I can't say that I've ever had green asparagus in Ramen before but it was actually very tasty. Highly recommended!

Great food and amazing waiting stuff!

Absolutely nothing special. A very solid ramen shop with average taste. Not worse than others, but not better either. Price-performance doesn't fit here. No recommendation.

Have now been here twice for lunch and can fully recommend the shop.

Totally recommended. We were served quickly. Everything went smoothly, even though it was very well attended. The food was delicious and the portions were filling. Gladly again.

Busy and quick service food was very good and reasonable value

Delicious! 3 vegan ramen on offer.

Lots of delicious dishes and drinks, the staff are very nice and polite. I highly recommend the store

My favorite ramen in Nuremberg, definitely recommend to visit. Fair prices and good service

This small Japanese restaurant in the center of Nuremberg impressed us again on our second visit. The food is authentic, high-quality, and very tasty. The service is fast, attentive, and friendly. Despite its stylish decor, the large room creates a bit of a disturbance, both in terms of noise and interactions.

We liked the variety of ramen. The gyozas were great. Special requests are always possible. That's great.

A ramen shop located along the main street leading from Nuremberg Central Station to the center of town. Vietnamese manager? This is a restaurant that has studied Japanese ramen quite a bit. Here was "TONKOTSU SHOYU - YOKOHAMA STYLE". As the name suggests, they served ``Yokohama Tonkotsu Shoyu,'' or ``Iekei-style'' ramen. What's more, the tonkotsu soy sauce was very rich and sticky, making it a very authentic, rich tonkotsu soy sauce. I was surprised to find that I had never seen such a thick and rich pork bone soy sauce at other restaurants (in German-speaking countries). The noodles were rather thin. The ``Yokohama-style pork bone and soy sauce ramen'' was very filling, with plenty of char siew and plenty of wood ear mushrooms and spinach. Also, does it look like Vietnam? The tabletop seasonings are also interesting. There was lime, rajaojan, and shichimi chili pepper, and I was able to change it to Asian-style Yokohama pork bone soy sauce to family-style ramen. The atmosphere was more like a stylish dining bar than a Japanese ramen shop, the music was cutting-edge, and the design of the restaurant was lovely. I think that's what makes ramen from overseas so interesting, that it's not run by a Japanese owner. I want to come again.

Super delicious food and great service. We'll definitely be back!

Vegan spicy ramen was really delicious, food was really fast on the table :)

It's good, but there's better ;)

Delicious food at a good price :)))

Best Ramem far and wide. Unfortunately, it's always full, and you can't get a seat without a reservation. Everything is a bit cramped.

This is a Thai restaurant. The ramen tastes very salty and average. We also added some Japanese fried dumplings.

While looking for a delicious dinner, we discovered Monki in Nuremberg - a spontaneous decision that we haven't regretted for a second! The ambience is stylish and inviting, so you immediately feel at home. And the food? Simply great! For us the best ramen we have ever eaten – 10/10!!! We were particularly impressed by the Tantan Ramen (spicy and full of flavor) and the Shoyu Classic Ramen (soft and aromatic). Their homemade drink selection looked very appealing and my drink (Rose Darling) was super tasty and recommended. The crowning finale was the Matcha Crème Brûlée, which tasted simply heavenly (order that too!!) So absolute recommendation! If we are in Nuremberg again, we will definitely come back. A visit is worth it! I already miss the taste...

It's too narrow in the restaurant. It's cold inside in winter. Table reservations are strongly recommended

a nice spot to enjoy Japanese food. the dishes are tasty, but if you're looking for something truly authentic—like what you'd get in East Asia—you might find it a bit lacking. still, it's a solid choice for a satisfying meal👍

Great restaurant with a stylish ambience! The service was very nice and quick. The ramen noodles were delicious and the prices are absolutely right. A reservation is recommended. It's a bit loud for entertaining. I would still like to come back!

Very nice restaurant. The ramen was super tasty and the fried corn is also highly recommended as an appetizer. Unfortunately there are only 2 pre-made choices (3 if you include vegetarian) for the ramen.

For the lunch set, I ordered katsudon and salmon rice bowl and ordered karaage on the side, and it was all delicious. The cucumber salad and kimchi served as side dishes were also delicious.

Based on the positive reviews, we spontaneously decided to have dinner at MONKI. The restaurant was quite busy both inside and outside. So good omens. In the end we were somewhat misled by the hype from the guests. The food (karaage and 2 different ramen) was by no means bad, but the taste was nothing exceptional either. Just average. It somehow lacked authenticity, the final kick. It tasted like when I, as a non-Japanese, cook ramen at home. Something was missing. Maybe the real Japanese kick.

I was there as a tourist and ordered to take away because the Rech store is full and it's difficult to get in with a stroller. The staff is very friendly. My order was misunderstood but it was corrected within about 5 minutes. I even got a beer on the house for eating the wrong thing.

Can get very full, but is a delicious ramen. For me the best in town

Very tasty and highly recommend 👌

First of all, not cheap, but very tasty and simply special. The homemade lemonade was already very good, then we had rice cooking mocchi style as a starter, then vegetarian ramen and at the end the macha creme brulee and the sago pearl mango coconut pudding as dessert. All tables were occupied and refilled again and again. We highly recommend the Monko Ramen!

Ich war mit meiner Tochter essen. Vorneweg, es ist nicht günstig, aber für uns war es definitiv das Geld wert. Es war sehr lecker und wir sind gut satt geworden. Wir hatten drei kleine Reis-Mocchiküchlein als Vorspeise, danach Ramen und dann noch Mango-Kokos-Pudding mit Sagoperlen sowie Matcha Creme-Brulee. Dazu besondere hausgemachte alkoholfreie Drinks, einmal mit Ingwer-Limetten-Gurke und einmal mit Aloe-Vera und Basilikumsamen. Es war auch einiges los und die Tische immer wieder gefüllt. Wir können das Monki Ramen auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen.

A bowl of miso ramen costs 20,000 won, so I can't say it's good value for money, but the broth was very rich and the chashu was delicious without any smell, and when I asked for it to be spicy, they even added spicy toppings (probably red pepper powder), so I was quite satisfied with the taste. There are a lot of customers and the space is small, but if you don't mind the noise, you can eat comfortably. As mentioned above, there were a lot of customers, so in order to order, I had to make eye contact with the server and make a gesture of slightly raising my hand. In conclusion, it is a restaurant that is not cheap, but has good reasons (especially the taste). If you visit when you are tired of sausages or schnitzel, you will be twice as satisfied.

Unfortunately not such a good experience. The ramen wasn't anything special and was a surprisingly small portion. The music and atmosphere in the store is very penetrating and loud. When I asked for a glass of tap water, I was told there wasn't any. Then I was given ice-cold tap water in a carafe, which was charged three euros. I think good restaurants don't need that.

Yummy! Despite the lack of space, the service tried hard to accommodate us.

Ramen is not a highlight in terms of taste, mass processing of guests and waitresses spread stress. Cold, cramped, uncomfortable

Review (4/5 stars): ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The food at Monki Restaurant was really delicious! I had the Classic Shoyu Ramen and the Homemade Stick Gyoza, both of which tasted great and were prepared with a lot of care. The portions are rather light, so several dishes were necessary. If you are very hungry, you should plan for this. Overall, a great taste experience in a pleasant atmosphere.

We were here with a larger group and had reserved in advance. We were treated in an incredibly friendly manner and the food was wonderful. Regardless of whether it was a starter, main course or dessert, everything was really good. I'd love to come back here.

Super store with very tasty food! The service is very on point and very fast! There is a two star deduction because of the following: Unfortunately, the atmosphere was far too hectic and loud for us. It was pretty cold for us and the air from outside was blowing in. This really bothered us personally and the entire atmosphere didn't suit us.

It was already full at 6pm. Ordered miso ramen, and the food was served quickly. The service staff was friendly. The location is very compact, and I hope to continue exploring for better food tomorrow.

Great Japanese dish selection, authentic atmosphere, fast service for a reasonable price.

The food came quickly and was very tasty.

I come often from Munich to try the best ramen in the whole Germany. Please we need this restaurant in Munich!!!

The restaurant is centrally located in downtown Nuremberg and has around 30-40 seats. Table reservations are therefore mandatory and can be done online. The food is freshly prepared and tastes excellent. We'd love to come back!

Unfortunately service wasn't that good… e.g. drinks came after the starters, another drink was spilled while being served... Apart from apologizing with a smile, there was nothing... (not even a new drink). The food wasn't anything special... I found the ramen and the general spiciness of the food to be pretty flat. Ambience so-so, more like a train station hall… Unfortunately disappointing

The food was super good! I've never eaten ramen so well! I never finish the broth, but the ramen miso was really delicious 😋 I had to eat the broth empty too :)

The food is great, spicy is really spicy and the vegan options are very tasty. Unfortunately, it is very loud in the restaurant and it is difficult to sit down at the tables in the middle of the room without contorting yourself because there is only one long bench.

Great selection of different delicacies. What I also think is great are the pictures in the menu!! Both the various starters and the ramen itself were very tasty. But you should definitely make a reservation. When we went there to eat on a Saturday evening there was a long line in front of the restaurant. We were allowed to go in front because we had reserved but the others easily had to wait 20-30 minutes for a table.

A very good and large selection for vegans! The ramen is very tasty. Reservations are recommended as it is always very busy.

It was our first time there and the restaurant was full. The staff went to great lengths to organize the crowds so that no one had to wait outside. The food was delicious. Overall everything was fine and we will happily come back.
