Umami Ramen Stuttgart in Stuttgart

We were there on a Friday evening. I recommend allowing some extra time, as we had to wait in line for 45 minutes during rush hour. Since it was cold outside, they offered tea, which was very nice. The menu is small but excellent. The atmosphere is a bit cozy. I had made a reservation several days in advance, but they don't accept reservations (which we understand). However, I would have appreciated it if this had been clearly stated on their website or elsewhere.

I visited after lunchtime on a weekday. It was quiet and I had a comfortable time. Overall, I recommend it, but I wouldn't go back if I were in Japan. The atmosphere and service were good. I ordered tonkotsu ramen, spicy miso ramen, and gyoza (vegetables). The tonkotsu ramen was terrible. The broth was like a bland soup, not a real ramen broth. Japanese instant ramen is better, it tastes closer to the real thing. The spicy miso ramen was absolutely delicious. Nothing to say here. The char siu was a little dry, but still substantial and tasty. It was tasty, but it was just pre-made, cold pieces on top, which is a bit of a shame. The seasoned egg was delicious. The gyoza were tasty, but warm... not too hot. I also felt they weren't cooked enough. The gyoza sauce was perfect. The food was generally delicious, but there were a few things I missed. Therefore, I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving Japanese food while traveling.

Food: 10/10, Service: 10/10, Vibes: 10/10, Simply top-notch!!!

Very tasty food, the best service. A great place to taste some delicious ramen

Umani Ramen in Stuttgart is undoubtedly a charming restaurant and certainly one of the best ramen restaurants in the city. However, my personal experience was somewhat mixed. With the long line outside, I honestly expected more. Despite the crowd, we only had to wait about 10 minutes, which was a plus. While we were waiting outside, we were even offered warm tea, which was a really nice gesture from the staff. The service is very fast, almost too fast. When it's busy, you get the feeling that you're expected to eat and make room as quickly as possible because the staff is under pressure. This detracts somewhat from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere. The ramen was good, but not exceptional to my taste – and not the best I've ever eaten. Given the high expectations and the crowds, I had hoped for more. All in all: a nice restaurant and certainly one of the top spots for ramen in Stuttgart, but for me personally, not a reason to return.

Best ramen in Stuttgart, if not all of Germany. The staff are very friendly and nice.

Fast food style restaurant. Be prepared to stand in line almost at any hour. The place works on the "hot seat" method. Eat and vacate. The food is excellent! The portions are large and indulgent. Rich flavors and excellent ingredients.

I was completely satisfied with my visit. The team is incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. You feel welcome and well cared for from the very first moment.

We visited this restaurant for the first time, as the constant queue outside had piqued our curiosity. We ordered the Veggie Miso Ramen and the Chicken Miso Ramen. Unfortunately, we found the broth lacking in flavor and particularly missed the deep umami aroma. The Chicken Miso contained a generous amount of noodles, bean sprouts, spring onions, and corn, though we felt the corn didn't quite complement the other ingredients. Overall, we felt the variety of ingredients was rather limited compared to the price. One star is deducted because the menu on the restaurant's official website was outdated, and the prices had increased considerably. This is unfortunate if you want to check the menu beforehand.

We spontaneously went there on a Sunday evening as a group of seven. We only had to wait 10 minutes for a table, which I thought was fine. We had tonkotsu and chicken shoyu. Both were very tasty, but the tonkotsu was definitely better. Really good. The restaurant is typically small, but that made it very cozy. Unfortunately, it was a bit noisy because of that, but you have to accept that.

I love this place, the ramen is the best in Stuttgart! I can order it extra spicy and the soup is incredibly delicious. Don't miss the karaage and gyoza either!

The best Ramen place. Our favorite we are from Sulz but we really visit this place regularly because of their Ramen! Food , place, service are remarkable!

It taste very good. I went there a lot of times with my friends and family. I would recommend everyone to come here and try. The waiters was very kind and serve with respect.

Good atmosphere, two or three vegan options available, could be more but I am happy with these choices

We waited a very long time outside to get a seat...

I went to eat at Umami Ramen Stuttgart with a friend, and we had a wonderful time enjoying a delicious meal. We each ordered a different bowl of ramen, and they were both excellent. The broth was rich, flavorful, and very aromatic—exactly what you expect from a good ramen. The vegetables were fresh and well-prepared, and the marinated egg was perfectly cooked, with a delicious sweet marinade and a wonderfully creamy yolk; it was a real treat. The toppings were generous and well-balanced, including sweetcorn, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, herbs, and a very well-done crispy katsu. My friend's ramen was just as good, with plenty of vegetables and naruto (spicy onions). The ramen is as beautiful as it is delicious—a true visual delight. We also shared some ultra-crispy meat and vegetable gyoza, golden brown to perfection, with a flavorful filling. A great appetizer to share. In terms of value for money, it's generally very satisfying, given the generous portions and the careful preparation of the dishes. The prices are a bit high, but considering the quality of the broth, the impeccable cooking, and the service, it's definitely worth it.

The business is quite booming, so there's sometimes a short wait, but even from the entrance, you can feel the warm and sophisticated atmosphere inside. The interior space combines German sleekness with Japanese refinement, offering not only comfort but also a sense of stepping into a crossroads of cultures. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; their attentiveness is evident from the initial greeting to the serving. This time, I ordered the spicy miso ramen with a cup of hot matcha. The aroma was irresistible as soon as the ramen arrived. The rich miso, the subtle spiciness, and the springy texture of the noodles blended perfectly, instantly reminding me of the authentic flavors I'd tasted in Japan. To be able to enjoy such a perfectly prepared bowl of ramen in Germany, where ingredients are not always readily available, truly felt like a blessing. I wholeheartedly recommend it—this is a ramen shop worth making a special trip to experience the soul of Japan through its flavors.

The ramen was neither good nor bad... I went during lunch time on a weekday, but had to wait over 30 minutes.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was also very friendly and gave us a warm welcome, making us feel right at home. Overall, a very positive experience – I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Despite the restaurant being full, we got a table relatively quickly. The food was served promptly and incredibly delicious 💜 Friendly service. We'd love to come back :)

The food was delicious and the portions were large. The food arrived very quickly ☺️

Absolutely delicious. We've been there twice now. We're absolutely thrilled. Be warned, it gets really busy during peak hours.

Short wait outside the restaurant, very friendly and attentive service. Top quality dishes and a wonderful atmosphere. I can recommend it to any ramen lover. Looking forward to my next visit.

Really nice food, my girlfriend and I really liked it, karaage was nice, also the ramen. Arigatouuuuuu!!

The taste and portions are good, but the prices seem a bit high to me. Also, the food can be a bit late.

Very tasty, it had a really original flavor, and the price-performance ratio was great too.

Incredibly delicious!! Great quality – you can taste it. It's a shame you can't reserve and have to wait in line, but it's definitely worth it. I'll definitely be back 🙏🏽

The food was so good .＼(^-^)／ Would definitely recommend.

Yummy!🧡 We were super satisfied!

The best ramen restaurant in Stuttgart.

The best ramen I've ever eaten!! Very friendly staff, small restaurant with a lovely terrace :)

The service was very friendly. The food was certainly very well prepared, although it wasn't to my personal taste, it was very authentic.

Great ramen bowls, esp. the Tan Tan Men bowl and its savory, slightly spicy broth. It's a small restaurant so expect to wait for a table. However, the service is prompt and efficient so they turnaround tables quickly. Best ramen I've had in Stuttgart.

Absolutely delicious…really fast service and the ramen broth is amazing!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! The boiled egg was perfection in the ramen. The chicken was extra crispy. The spice level was spot on. Credit card accepted. Long lines sometimes, but it's absolutely worth the wait!

There's always a line outside because you can't reserve. But it runs pretty smoothly. Let's say if you have 4 or 5 tables in front of you, it takes 30 minutes max. The food is decent, but not the best I expected. The prices are medium to high, as is usual in Stuttgart...

Delicious! I love Tam Tam Ramen! Expensive, but very good!

After traveling around Europe, I was craving Japanese food and came here. I enjoyed the delicious pan-fried dumplings, fried chicken, Kirin beer, and miso ramen. Also, the waiter spoke to me in Japanese for the first time in a while, which helped me to recover both physically and mentally. Thank you very much!

The food was not for me. The soup was super salty, a little too salty to my taste, it looked much better than it tasted.

I went for lunch one Sunday with friends. Since there were five of us, they made us wait while everyone else who arrived after us was allowed in. We waited for about 20 minutes to get in. The food was okay, but I ordered an iced lemon tea and it wasn't cold, it was at room temperature. The place isn't bad, but it's not a 5-star restaurant either.

I asked for their spicy ramen to be spicier, and it was delicious!! Highly recommended. We arrived right at opening time, but it quickly filled up. It's so popular that seating may be limited.

It would have been much better if the menu images had been included.

Delicious ramen. Rich pork broth, tasty pork belly. They also offer chicken or vegetable broth. A small, charming shop. Lovely atmosphere, Japanese style. Anyone who's been to Japan and misses ramen should definitely stop by.

Delicious, we'll gladly come again! 😍

Very great food, for sure the best in Town.

The food was quite good, even if it wasn't 100% authentic Japanese. In Japan, ramen has a bit more heat. What bothered me most, however, were the gyoza. They usually contain pork, but here they were offered with chicken or vegetarian. Fine, but you could definitely taste the difference. In Japan, ramen costs half the price, and the portions are larger. Not tiny, but a bit smaller. The service was excellent by German standards, but not by Japanese standards. There were a few minor issues. For example, 😁 they could have given us a menu while we waited. That would have made choosing even faster. Then, a customer opened the door, and a server pushed her way through. Unthinkable in Japan. But still, the staff were good, no question! Overall, a good experience. We'll definitely come back!

Very tasty and authentic Japanese restaurant with a very tasty setting and fresh Kirin beer on tap. Even queuing in front of the restaurant is like in Japan. But joking aside, take some time as it is very crowded there. And sometimes you have to wait a bit until a table becomes available. However, if you have a place it goes pretty quickly. We could enjoy our hot and fresh ramen after about 10 minutes. If you are in Stuttgart or live there, it is definitely worth a visit. Itadakimasu

Amazing ramen. It doesn't get more authentic than this. I had the tonkotsu ramen with chachu, red ginger, and egg: incredibly creamy and flavorful broth! And an ice-cold Kirin beer to go with it. Great lunch, I'll definitely be back.

We had a rice bowl and a chicken ramen, and both were incredibly delicious. The service was also very fast, even though it was quite busy.

The price-performance ratio is completely off. The ramen consisted mostly of noodles. The flavor enhancers were very noticeable.

If you order the chicken soy sauce ramen, don't order the karaage topping, because the chicken soy sauce ramen's topping is fried chicken, which is redundant. I was a bit shocked because I've never encountered chicken ramen with karaage topping before in Japan. Also, the fried chicken soaking in the broth for too long makes the broth taste a bit bitter. The chicken flavor in the broth is already quite average, refreshing but not very flavorful; the soy sauce flavor is stronger than the chicken flavor. The fried chicken is good on its own, and the chicken soy sauce ramen is also good on its own, but don't order them together! The miso ramen is quite authentic, decently good, with the corn kernels and miso broth having that authentic flavor! This place is very popular, the seating is a bit crowded, the service is normal, the ramen is still good, and the tableware is well-made, but the chicken soy sauce ramen really disappointed me; it felt a bit perfunctory. However, I was still touched to be able to eat ramen like this in Germany, and I'll try other flavors next time I have the chance.

The Japanese people who make it are serious and trustworthy. was delicious

Authentic cuisine and an ambiance and seating reminiscent of Japanese ramen restaurants.

Even the somewhat longer queues in front of the restaurant were well worth it here. Drinks were served almost immediately after ordering. The exquisite dishes delighted the palate with their perfect richness and thoroughly satisfied.

Highly recommended! Absolutely authentic and worth the wait 👍🏻

Very tasty ramen! Highly recommended. Simple concept – but it works.

I've been to this ramen restaurant several times and always enjoy coming back. You often have to wait a bit longer, as it's almost always busy, but the wait is definitely worth it. The ramen tastes excellent – ​​aromatic broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh ingredients. The karaage is also highly recommended: wonderfully crispy on the outside, juicy and full of flavor on the inside. The restaurant offers an authentic atmosphere. In my opinion, the best ramen restaurant in Stuttgart.

We've been coming here for ramen for several years now and have never been disappointed. You usually have to wait a bit to get a seat, but it's worth it. The menu isn't too extensive, but it's perfectly adequate, especially since the kitchen is quite small. I can't comment on the authenticity, as I've never been to Japan. In any case, we think the food tastes excellent, and the portions are generous.

A trendy new Japanese restaurant in Stuttgart offers a variety of soups and dumpling-like dishes. The soups are served in large bowls and are filling, with spaghetti, your choice of vegetables, and soy sauce. It's a delicious change of pace, and worth a try.

It's pretty small and crowded. But that's because it's also incredibly delicious 😄. We'll be back anytime we're in the area.

I went twice and had the same experience. The food was pretty good,though I didn’t expect the meat to come out looking like hamburger meat for my ramen. I also had the same server twice and I didn’t really get a welcoming feeling from them. Like I was wasting their time. But they were quick on getting the food out so that’s a plus

Very good food, cozy location and fast service but you have to stand in line to get a seat, it's definitely worth it

Speedy friendly service. The ramen was superb 👌

Great food and service! We'd love to come back :)

A lovely restaurant with a tasty, but not particularly exceptional menu. The dishes were rather ordinary, and the staff, unfortunately, didn't seem particularly motivated on the day of our visit.

The seating was very cramped. The food wasn't our taste at all. Pork belly or fried chicken as the main side dish, hardly any vegetables... €16.50 doesn't seem right to us. The taste was hmm, okay. But then, ramen just isn't our thing.

Insanely good!! The ramen at this restaurant is excellently prepared. You probably won't find anything better in southern Germany.

Unfortunately, kimchi is always sold out, which is annoying!

Incredibly delicious and super quick to prepare. Totally satisfied, everything perfect. Will be coming back more often from now on! :)

Everything was excellent! The staff is efficient and very nice!

Despite the restaurant being full, the atmosphere was pleasant and transported me back to Japan a bit. The service was super friendly and quick. The miso ramen was delicious, and the portions were a good size. All in all, if you're in the mood for Japanese food, this is definitely the place to go.

We really wanted to try ramen in Stuttgart and opted for the Umami, which was incredibly delicious. The price/performance ratio was absolutely perfect, and the service was also very attentive. Highly recommended.

The food was excellent, and the ambiance complemented it all. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. Simply fantastic!

Stuttgart's most successful ramen restaurant

The restaurant's decor is very attractive and cozy, and the staff is extremely friendly. The food arrives hot and tastes simply amazing—the ramen, in particular, is a real highlight. Wait times can be a bit long, likely due to the restaurant's popularity. All in all, a visit here is definitely worthwhile.

We went to Umami for lunch. An outdoor table was free, and we were seated right away. They weren't quick, but the ramen was perfect—flavorful and just the right amount of heat. They say the line to get in in the evening is very long. An experience worth having.

Super nice ambiance! It's best to make a reservation, especially in the evening :)

Liked the Jolyne sketch Came back again on the second day with friends and tried more Ramen. Was good

Very nice Staff. Best Ramen I have evee had. Very rich in flavor and freh ingredients! Would 100% eat here again.

The Miso is just amazing, we also had a "chicken Ten Men" which was different but ate it all !!

I highly recommend this place for ramen lovers. The food tastes absolutely delicious. The price is a bit high in my opinion. You pay around €15 for a portion of ramen noodles. In Asia, you'd get a larger portion. The space is a bit small, but it's really nicely decorated. We experienced several power outages, but they still treated customers very well.

Had to stand in a queue but the Chicken Ramen was worth it

Very good and authentic restaurant! The classic dishes, in particular, taste excellent. Appetizers like kimchi and gyoza were also very good. The portions were generous, and if you're worried about an unpleasant pork taste, it doesn't taste strangely like "pig dung." Simply amazing!

Best soup ever!! I chose the vegan soup

The "Umami Ramen" in Stuttgart is a true highlight for all ramen lovers. The authentic and cozy atmosphere is immediately noticeable upon entry. The restaurant has a modern and vibrant design, exuding a touch of Japan in the heart of the city center. We tried various ramen bowls and were delighted with every bowl. The broth was intensely flavored and perfectly seasoned. The chicken, in particular, was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The toppings, such as fresh vegetables and egg, also worked perfectly together and rounded out the dishes. For starters, we had yakitori skewers, which were equally impressive: They were juicy, spicy, and grilled to perfection. They were accompanied by a refreshing iced tea that went wonderfully with the meal. Despite the crowds, the service was friendly, attentive, and very fast. This speaks volumes about the well-organized restaurant. All in all, this is a truly fantastic ramen shop that impresses with its quality, flavor, and atmosphere. We definitely recommend it – every visit is worthwhile!

Picked up two soups for takeout. Arrived home 15 minutes later, the containers were soggy and the broth was everywhere. Great!

For those seeking an authentic Japanese ramen experience in Stuttgart, "Umami Ramen" comes highly recommended. The restaurant is ideally situated in the heart of the city centre, making it a perfectly convenient destination for a meal while exploring the urban landscape. The accessibility of its location is a notable advantage for both residents and visitors alike. The authenticity of the experience was further affirmed by the presence of what appeared to be Japanese chefs in the kitchen, adding a layer of credibility to the culinary execution. The dish I ordered was the Tonkotsu ramen, and I had some initial reservations due to a personal preference for less salty cuisine. However, these concerns were quickly put to rest. The broth was not excessively salty and presented a beautifully balanced flavour profile, demonstrating a masterful command of taste. The accompanying pork topping was seasoned to perfection, avoiding the common pitfalls of being either too dry or overcooked. Its texture was tender yet retained a satisfying bite, and the noodles themselves were cooked al dente, complementing the broth wonderfully and creating a harmonious overall taste. If one is unable to embark on a journey of over 13 hours to Japan to authentic ramen, a visit to Umami Ramen offers an excellent and highly satisfying alternative.

We had the best gyozas there, and the ramens were delicious! It's definitely worth a visit! A must-do when in Stuttgart.

Pretty tasty ramen for outside of Japan.

Amazing ramen in a cozy place with very nice service. I will definitely come back.

Very very very small but what I ate was the most delicious Japanese food in the Stuttgart area

Food was great , and this restaurant is always full but it was a really nice experience. Prices are good and a very cool environment. Staff is very friendly and well

It's very cozy. I had lunch there with my father. I ordered umami ramen with pork, and my father ordered the spicy version. It was very, very tasty. I couldn't finish my ramen, because the portions are very large. Luckily, they offered to pack up the leftovers. The staff was also very nice. We'd love to come back.

The restaurant is small, and the seating is very tight. The sidewalk seating is also very tight and very small. Overall, the decor is very nice, and the service is particularly friendly. The food is OK, but it's just a little lacking for a 5☆.

I usually stop by for a short visit around 8 pm it’s the busiest, but the food arrives quickly after ordering. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better. Prices are also fair with a starter, main dish and a beer, it usually comes to around €25–30.

Also available vegan. With udon noodles 😊

Great food and friendly staff! Would definitely eat here again!

Great location, the ramen was very tasty.

I have to say the hype is a bit big, the offerings and service are good but let's be honest I go to eat because of the taste and unfortunately I think that in the Asian area in particular there is too much emphasis on Europeans, I would like to go out for a really traditional meal and I'm sure that would be a lot better.
