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

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.

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

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

I have to say I haven't been there yet but I looked at the menu and it's a dream. For people who have a hard time deciding or who prefer more broth than noodles, there is a children's portion, lots of extras and you can also express other wishes🤩can't wait to try it out

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

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

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 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 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!

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.

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.

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€

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

Very delicious and affordable price

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!

five stars for traditional tonkotsu ramen

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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

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!

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

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

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.

Small restaurant with good ramen. Honestly, there are much better ramen shops in the city. There were hardly any side dishes in the ramen soup. I thought that was a shame. There aren't many inside or outside places. Better reserve 🩷

A must in the rather crowded Berlin ‘s gastronomy jungle. Japanese ambient, back in the 90’s, vibrating and intimate atmosphere at the same time. Very friendly service and great noodles. I can only recommend.

Best ramen in town, absolutely yammy

The ambience is really great. You immediately feel like you are in Japan and the open kitchen is an eye-catcher. Everything is freshly prepared and the food came quickly. The taste is simply great and plentiful. In my opinion, the prices are ok, although €3 for additional meat is a bit steep for the portion size you get. The service is friendly, if a bit unstructured. But we'd love to come back!

Yummy Ramen! The waitress with short red hair is fantastic, really prepared for every language!

One of my favourite Ramen in Berlin

Make sure to book a table in advance! Friendly staff! Delicious Ramen…

Probably the best ramen I've had so far outside of Japan, the broth (of the Tonkotsu Tantan) was a bit too thick for me, I was missing the vinegar on the table but except for that, perfect

Cozy place with a variety of different ramen together with other authentic asian food.

Been there probably 10 times and have never been disappointed! Absolutely further recommendation! Keep it up like this :-) The cold ramen is also a real treat 🥰

The broth is too salty, not soft, the noodles are hard and tough.

Soooo good 🤤 Unfortunately only a photo of the empty plate. It was just too delicious!

Good food, authentic atmosphere.

The ramen was not that good comparing to many other places in Berlin. The taste was bland with not much spices so we needed to order chilli oil to make it better. I was expecting much more from a place that used to be connected to Hako Ramen

Vegan/ vegetarian options But it didn't taste good :( too salty and a bit bitter

The pork soup was unbelievable. Will be back. Edit, 17€ for a ramen. I have been coming for 3 years but the price has made me visit less. So I took off 1 star ⭐.

I ordered the Tonkotsu Gyokai and I really liked it. Nevertheless, I consider the ramens very overpriced for the amount of food you get. For instance, we ordered another ramen that came only with one leaf of pak choi… I mean, I’m paying 17 euros… Give me half of a pak choi.

Food perfect! But service from everyone at reception was a disaster! We arrived 8 minutes earlier than opening times... the employee turned us away in a very rude manner... didn't even tell us if we could wait...

I took the CBD ramen, did not feel much, the ramen were good, just paid a bit too much, nice place

Amazing atmosphere and incredible Ramen

Food is bombastic, service is also great and nice, atmosphere inside 4.5 and outside a 3, thanks for everything

Fav ramen place in Berlin HAIKU: Hot Sun in Berlin Refreshing cold tasty ramen Serving peace of mind

It was very tasty, the broth was spicy and complex at the same time. The noodles were al dente and the chasiu fit perfectly. I can only recommend it.

best ramen in town with friendliest staff
