Niko Niko Ramen(Ex-Hako Ramen am Boxi) in Berlin

Absolutely standard ramen. Nothing special. But you'll pay three times the price of what you'd pay in Japan.

Definitely recommend this place! Tantan & black tantan ramen were both incredibly tasty, thick and creamy. Kimchi was very good. Yuzu radler and double cultured beers were surprisingly tasty and creamy even though I usually don’t like any additions to beer.

Best ramen experience in Berlin! Top craftsmanship and real Japanese ingredients.

My visit to Niko Niko Ramen in Berlin was very enjoyable. The ambiance is pleasant and focused on the food. The Tonkotsu Tantan Ramen proved to be an excellent choice. The rich and creamy Tonkotsu broth blended beautifully with the spicy Tantan flavor. The noodles had a good texture, and the flavorful ground beef was of high quality—remarkable, considering everything is prepared in-house. The service was attentive and courteous. At around €20 per person, the price-performance ratio is absolutely excellent, especially considering the fresh, homemade ingredients.

Best ramen in Berlin (if not Germany!) Incredibly delicious broths and generous portions. The service is very attentive and caters to any special requests. We love going here because they have a great and large selection of ramen, etc. The food is also super fast! It can get very noisy during peak times, but that's not the shop's fault. Niko Niko is definitely a very authentic, friendly shop that's worth a visit!

A perfect Japanese place and a very nice neighborhood for a drink beforehand.

A really great restaurant with lovely staff and delicious food ❤️

Very good ramen, friendly service and good location.

Best ramen I've eaten so far. Nice condition and also central in terms of location.

Best ramen in Berlin, in Europe maybe! Great service and great food! We'll come back!

Was there for the first time – and definitely not the last time! The noodle was so delicious that I briefly considered ordering another one. Otherwise everything was great – nice place, good location, would love to come back!

i ate the shoyu ramen in here this is really yummy i guess many people likes it too

Best vegan ramen I've ever had. Worldwide. It's not nice in the restaurant itself because it smells extremely like animal broth from cooking. (Unfortunately it's not a vegan restaurant) But it's always nice outside on Boxhagener Straße. Especially the tantan black (sesame) ramen with spicy chopped is a dream!!!

Sadly this place became a tourist spot. The Ramen tastes great but the portions are tiny and unfortunately the amount of toppings are super contained. Considering the crazy high prices its not worth eating here because you will spend 30 euros and still get a Kebab around the corner. Highly disappointed of the rip off practices. Also staff isnt happy when paying by card and begs for a tip.

The food was excellent, the ramen was really good. I also really enjoyed the kimchi. And don’t forget to enjoy some mochi afterwards. The service was very friendly.

Second time in this place, I love it, service was very nice, food was amazing. I’m just glad is near by

Very good ramen,the egg is cooked to perfection and well seasoned. They have vegetarian / vegan options as well. Nice ambiance and the Lemonade is very very good

Amazing place with the real Ramen. Excellent service. 100% recommended

My favorite restaurant in Berlin by far. Everything is 5 stars and the ramen will bring you back to life.

It's tasty but like charging 4,50€ for 1 singular mochi, 2,50€ for a scoop of ice cream and 3,50€ for a coke zero is outrageous. I was aware of the portion size of the coke, but the mochi especially I had no idea would come in store size. One 6 pack of mochis in most asia stores costs 3,50€, and I was charged 4,50€ for a single one! I thought it was gonna be a bigger one but nope. Sorry but that's unacceptable. The prices are absurd.

five stars for traditional tonkotsu ramen

Update a year later, we were here again and had lots of ramen in many cities. These are the best for us. Great service. The ramen is delicious. The service was very friendly, although you have to wait a bit.

We place 80-90% of our Wolt orders here. I've tried almost all the ramen in Berlin (really every one you can find at Wolt or maps). There are others that are delicious too. I don't actually eat pork. And I don't know if you're just putting in a lot of glutamate. But the tantan got me hooked, every time we come back from a trip we order the shoyu and tantan on the way home 😄 At some point I'll fly to Japan and try it out 😍

Everything was great, especially Anton is a great waiter!

Very good ramen and kirin in draft. Would have got a five stars rating If they had more comfortable chairs, very small and uncomfortable stools just don't cut it.

Really good Tonkotsu Ramen. Thank you a lot for this, as I miss Japan so much. I'll be back as soon as possible!

Nothing better in winter than getting a ramen in NikoNiko! Veeeery tasty. My only complain would be the price, it is a bit pricy. Also sometimes it is a bit packed.

It's just such a trendy place, overpriced and overrated. There's half an egg in the 15-17 euro ramen and the chashu is cut razor-thin. Tantan was a complete disaster, it was more of a ginger soup, tonkotsu and ribs weren't good either.

Very good ramen shop. I love the Veggie TanTan. Very nice service. Slightly higher prices but great quality

The food was delicious, the service was super friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was cozy, beautiful and authentic

Just have a tantan! I love Tantan. Amazing place.

Very tasty. Traditional Ramen in pork and chicken broth but also lots of vegetarian options. Japanese beer from the tap!

Best ramen I’ve had. Delicious kimchi (not so spicy). Fresh draught Kirin beer.

Food is delicious, but could be a little more.

Very nice people, very good traditional food, always happy ☺️

Our goal today was another place, but since they had a power outage there, we looked for another ramen place in the area. And we got it right. The place is quite cramped and constantly overloaded with people, but with your own stool you can sit down comfortably. The food gets to the table quickly. It's not cheap, but very tasty. Very nice staff, so much so that the lady ran after us to give the children a packet of jelly beans. 😊 I ordered tonkotsu tantan today. A very rich, fatty broth, if you like the sesame note like me, it's a hit! Delicious pasta! Plus ginger tea, but in such a tiny cup that I regretted not bringing lemonade 😉 Ah! Strawberry mochi is super good! 🍓♥️ Others also liked it. You can eat well here 🍜🙌

Very, very tasty noodles, you can choose the broth yourself depending on the strength, unfortunately mine was a bit weak, but next time I will order it stronger. The atmosphere is really nice and looks authentic, but not too kitschy either.

Definitely a recommendation for anyone who likes ramen and One Piece

We ordered for the office today and the Ramen was actually the worst I ever had. The feel in my mouth and my throat after lunch was awful for hours. Cannot recommend.

Best Tantan Ramen and everyone is super friendly.

touristy place. small portions, weak broth

The place is very welcoming and the service perfect. Unfortunately the dish did not live up to the reviews on this restaurant. The Black tantan was served with few toppings.

After testing many ramen places in Berlin for their veggie/vegan options, this one is my favorite! The black sesame version is the best.

I love the vegan tantan with edamame as a starter with the yuzu tea!!! Incredibly delicious!! If I could, I would go here a lot more often. I only have one negative point to give because it can get full quickly, which can quickly overwhelm people like me :( That's why I personally grab as many corner seats as I can and put my loops in my ears and then it's good to go! The people who work there are all super friendly and if you dare to sit at the bar you can watch them cook The portions are great and worth the price for my taste! Finally, I have to say that the price range I gave is for less food than we sometimes order (for 4 people with desserts and sometimes 2x ramen and several drinks and extra stuff it was around €175) and I have never been to any other ramen Restaurant was and cannot be compared.

THE・日本のラーメン！という店をやっとヨーロッパで見つけることができた！豚骨ラーメンは麺、スープ、トッピングと全て絶品でした！担々麺とつけ麺も美味しそうだったの、次回ベルリンに来た際に挑戦しようと思います！

My Favourite Ramen in this city so far.. Depending on your taste of corse. I love the stong creamy flavoured broth of the original Tonkotsu.

A very crowded little place, but to make the waiting outside a bit more pleasant, get yourself some mulled wine! The ambience inside feels very authentic, especially if you sit at the bar. The food was amazing, I especially enjoyed pak choi and mochi, not even talking about ramen (it was delicious). If you are in the area, this is an absolute must

Nice experience, we got a seat at the noodle bar and was served directly by ramen chef. Space felt a bit tight, ramen was quite authentic (no need to go to Dusseldorf anymore :)), price is a bit on the higher side.

A cozy atmosphere, fast service, decent food, and fair prices.

I honestly expected it to be better. I was kinda disappointed of the ramen. Noodles were hard, broth was flavorless, not many toppings for the price either. Additionally the atmosphere in the restaurant was strange. Probably wouldn’t go again.

The best ribs I've ever eaten are here! They are perfectly marinated and super tender. The miso ramen and tantan ramen were also fantastic - I'll be back soon!

This spot is amazing! I had the Vegan Ramen, which was incredibly hearty and flavorful. The Shio Ramen and ribs were equally delightful, and the Gyoza were crispy and delicious.

The Shio Ramen was a pleasant, light choice, while the Tantan Ramen packed a spicy punch. The ribs were so flavorful and tender. I can’t wait to try more items!

The Tonkotsu Ramen here is one of the best I’ve had! The broth is incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the noodles have that perfect bite. The Gyoza, too, are crispy and juicy – I’ll be back soon.

Perfect, every time I'am travelling in the surroundings I try to get a diner here.

Loved it. The noodles had a great texture. As for toppings for the vegan Ramen it was a little poor. One Bok Choi leaf and some mushrooms and soy mince. The meat version is pretty much the same but with an egg and minced pork. Vegan Mochi ice cream was delicious! We also had edamame and a drink each. Together we both paid about 40€

Very delicious and affordable price

I had the Gyoza and Miso soup with pork. It was delicious!

Ramen so delicious, so fast! Unfortunately I just find the light at the back of the dining area a bit too dark :)

A fantastic authentic restaurant with sweet gimmiks for lovers. The food is very tasty and the staff is very approachable and friendly

Not homemade ramen. Expensive. The service attitude was poor.

Niko Niko is the place I go when I need to feed my soul their vegan black tantan. Nothing beats it. It's the perfect thickness, perfect texture, perfect spiciness, and it's delicious every single time. Every single time! My soul says thank you and we'll be back soon.

I visited this ramen shop yesterday. The ramen are packaged and not homemade. Nearly 17 € for a bowl of tonkotsu ramen is really expensive.

Such a great ramen, the taste and atmosphere made me feel like I was back in Japan. Can’t wait to come back. We had the miso and shio chicken ramens, and several mochi flavours - all delicious.

This is my favourite ramen place on the citadel.

A must if you go to Berlin and are looking for ramen. One of the better places I've been to with value for its portion. The broth is delicious, I tried both shoyu and miso ramen and both were great. Noodles taste so good as well, love the freshness of the vegetables. Staff was accommodating to get us a table. Even though it's a small seating arrangement it is well worth it. Went twice in my trip!

The best ramen noodles I know. Gyoza also very cool 🤩🤩

Super authentic Japanese ramen shop. The food was VERY tasty and the prices are reasonable. I'm looking forward to the next meal

Super tasty ramen with nice service and mostly Japanese employees. Open kitchen and classic wooden furnishings with backless stools and small tables. Prices are moderate.

Haven’t tasted such a rich tonkotsu broth in a long time

My favourite Ramen in Berlin, great selection and delicious broth. There is kids Ramen on the menu so my kids love it as well

Very authentic restaurant. The ramen is simply delicious! Highly recommended. When we arrived the store was very busy but don't let that put you off. We got a number and after about 15 minutes we had a table :) The service was also very nice.

Amazing Tonkutsu! The best I have had in Berlin yet! The gyokai variant was also very nice! Don't forget to add the shitake and the chilli paste to your Ramen order!

If you're in the mood for something special, try the Tantan Ramen! For me the best in Berlin. The broth is spicy but not overpowering, and the noodles have just the right consistency. The aubergines are also a highlight – perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender.

The vegan ramen here is outstanding! It's so rare to find a good, authentic tonkotsu-style ramen, but they absolutely nailed it. The broth is rich and full of flavor, with none of the usual missing elements you'd expect from a vegan version. And those ribs? Incredibly tender and perfectly marinated. I'm a big fan of this place!

Visitor to Hako/ Niko Niko Ramen for years! The Shio Ramen has such a fine, clear broth and is simply seasoned perfectly. The miso ramen is also fantastic – very hearty and flavorful. The gyoza are crispy and delicious. Absolute recommendation!

Hands down one of the best ramen spots in town! The Tonkotsu Ramen is so rich and creamy, and the chashu pork practically melts in your mouth. Their Gyoza is crispy on the outside and juicy inside - a perfect starter! Definitely coming back for more.

Decided on this place for dinner one night last week while visiting Berlin for the first time. Ramen was tasty and the vibe was perfect. I like what was going on.

Price and performance are not in a reasonable relationship. Uncomfortable and uncomfortable to sit on.

Super delicious ramen! The broth is really aromatic, the ingredients are fresh, and there's just something about eating at the counter. The decor is cozy and stylish, and the prices are reasonable too. Absolutely recommended!

Very good and authentic! I had Shoyu Ramen and my companion had Vegan Shoyu and both were excellent, the gyoza were also great. All in all, really delicious, beautiful and very cozy! Recommended!!!

Miso ramen with the mushrooms wasn't tasty - unsure if it was good product.

Everything was great, I'll be back, I can't decide what's better, whether it's the food or the service 👌👌👌

Best Ramen and Service in the world. This is my happy place. Thank you!

For me as a Japanese woman the best ramen place in Berlin! Absolute favorite. Unlike in most shops, the toppings are not too overpowering, the soups are rich and the individual ingredients are made with love, so that you feel pleasantly satisfied at the end. The food here is authentic, also because most of the employees actually come from Japan. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Niko Niko is always a great experience. Keep it up and thank you for this wonderful place!

Overrated. We had gyozas and kimchi as starters, which was ok. But the ramen was very disappointing. In one case, the vegetables promised on the menu consisted only of limp mushrooms and a leaf of seaweed, in the other case, 1 leaf of pakchoy and a few tasteless bamboo snippets, hardly anything more. Otherwise just very salty broths (the miso one was very sweet, the shrimp one was too salty and tasteless) and a lot of spaghetti and three slices of rather bland chicken. Disappointing. Given that the ambience is loud and lively (cool jazz, a bit tiring given the stress level), the trip isn't worth it. A plus: lots of staff, nice and attentive. Not a long wait when we visited.

W ramen the pork is very tasty and good and fast service (when the shop is semi full)

For years, this is the best ramen in town, and we tried them all :) And to this you can add kind and professional staff

I had never eaten ramen soup as thick as I did there. Unfortunately, I later had quite a bit of gastrointestinal problems... well. The price is also quite expensive for what you have on your plate.

Very Mediocre Ramen. Broth lacking flavor/umami, noodles overcooked, (half) egg ok. Would personally not come again.

We sat at the bar table and ate Tonkotsi Ramen and Tantan Ramen. The atmosphere was very nice and authentic🥰 All the employees are real Japanese, so come by and see for yourself 🫶

It's beautiful and full of manga drawings. They prepare the food in front of you and it is all delicious and handmade!

Unfortunately I didn't like the Ramen and it didn't feel authentic to me. First of all, I've been fortunate enough to taste Ramem in many cities including the real deal in Japan. I felt the ramen lacked taste, substance and proper ingredients. It's also a bit pricy for what it is, a small portion of bland and unappetising ramen. The noodles didn't feel the right texture, size and most of all, didn't taste great.

Incredible ramen, it comes out. Highly recommended

Authentic, tasty and friendly. Simply the best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just finished the miso ramen and it was honestly a pretty disappointing ramen. The broth was tasteless and the Meat wasn’t as tender as it could be. No umami or feel of passion in the dish. The quality in Denmark where we usually eat our ramen are leagues above this experience

Amazing place to eat ramen. I came here three days in a row. It’s the best ramen I’ve eat outside Japan. You’ll feel exactly like in a japanese restaurant. Do not miss this spot!

Very good food and good service.

A simple, cozy ramen shop. People are friendly, food is ready quickly and tastes perfect. Top place if you want to eat something quickly that also tastes great

Super. At Niko Niko I felt reminded of my time in Japan. This ramen shop could just as easily be located on a nice side street in Osaka. The ramen is delicious, the staff is friendly, the waiting times are moderate and the selection is good. Gladly again.
