Last weekend while wandering around, I stumbled upon a ramen shop in the warehouse district area. Honestly, finding decent ramen in a place like Madrid is no easy feat. This place is located near Calle de Embajadores – the storefront isn’t large but it’s clean, and as soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by that familiar rich broth aroma.
Menu and Prices
Their signature dishes are tonkotsu ramen and miso ramen, both of which I’ve tried. The tonkotsu broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, the noodles are those chewy thin-style ones, and they’re quite generous with the toppings. Price-wise, it’s definitely not cheap – a bowl of ramen runs between 12 to 15 euros, but considering the central Madrid location, it’s acceptable.
| Dish | Price | Rating |
|---|
| Tonkotsu Ramen | 14€ | ★★★★☆ |
| Miso Ramen | 13€ | ★★★★★ |
| Chashu Rice | 9€ | ★★★☆☆ |
| Dumplings | 7€ | ★★★★☆ |
Dining Experience
The staff’s service is pretty good. Although they speak Spanish with a bit of an accent, communication is generally smooth. If you’re going on weekends, it’s best to arrive early because there’s usually a queue during meal times. When I went at 2:30 PM last time, I waited about 20 minutes for a table. The interior has that minimalist Japanese-style decor, with limited seating – probably accommodating only 15-20 people.
Worth mentioning is their chili oil which is absolutely fragrant – spice lovers must try it. Their soft-boiled egg is also spot-on, with the yolk perfectly half-cooked, ideal when paired with the ramen. The only downside might be that the noodle portion is a bit small for those with computer configuration in Madrid’s warehouse district hearty appetites, though you can add extra noodles for about 2 euros.
Other Recommendations
Besides ramen, their pan-fried dumplings are worth trying – thin skin with substantial filling. If you’re exploring [Madrid’s warehouse district] and don’t feel like ramen, they also offer chashu rice and curry rice. Personally, I think the miso ramen is better than the tonkotsu – the broth has more complex flavors and isn’t as heavy.
This shop ranks above average for ramen in Madrid. While it can’t compare to the old establishments in Tokyo or Osaka, achieving this level in Spain is already impressive. If you’re considering wholesale clothing in Madrid living near the warehouse district or want to switch things up on the weekend, definitely give it a try. Just remember to avoid peak hours, otherwise the wait can be quite long.
