Good but not unforgettable

I had the vegan gyozas and the classic miso ramen. It was ok but very simple and quite bland. The place was also very crowded, so very loud. When I left there was a queue outside so you may have to wait a bit if you come during rush hours. Overall not a bad experience but I think they are way better places to eat in Amsterdam!

Pros: A lot of vegan options, Quick service, Not expensive

Cons: Not very tasty, Crowded

Very yummy and warming curry sauce

The food was incredible. I had a very tasty and satisfying curry, and the vegan Katsu was as crispy and savoury as you would expect. My friends had udon soup and the broth was very tasty too.

Pros: Tasty broth, Yummy curry

Cons: A bit loud, The waiting line is outside

Nice but nothing special

Obviously I liked that they had vegan options on the menu. We had some gyozas and then ramen. The food was good and clearly made with fresh ingredients, nothing truly memorable but it did the job. They have a patio, again nothing fancy but we did enjoy our lunch there.

Service was fast but the waitresses weren't super friendly, the chefs were way friendlier😄(the kitchen is open and you can watch them as they cook/you can briefly chat with them).

Pros: Fresh ingredients, Patio

Cons: Waitresses weren't super welcoming, Ramen could use more flavour, Patio could use a makeover

Would give 5 stars if I could

As a vegan you can pick between three different Ramen, one of which is a cold dish. They also have a couple of side dishes and extras you can get with your Ramen and Japanese iced tea. We just tried the miso Ramen which were really good!

Super fast service, delicious ramen

I loved the gyoza and silk tofu side dishes and main ramen bowl has grown on me. I keep going back for their ramen! There is also another poace closeby, Hinata Ramen, but their ramen soup is filled with fresh spinach leaves so you can’t even see the ramen and the singular spongy tofu is terrible in consistence and taste. Both these places have really nice broth but I recommend Fow Fou because of their super fast service and overall better composition of the dish!

Some delicious Ramen!

Not agreeing with all the reviews saying "it's allright". It was more than allright, we had some delicious ramen! We tried the vegan option (shoyu), the veganized option (miso) and the vegan gyoza's. Will definitely recommend.

Pros: Almost everything veganizable , Unique toppings , Quick service

Cons: Japanese beer (Asahi) is Italian?

really bland expensive ramen

had ramen here ages ago but I remembered it being pretty damn bland. It’s fair to say you can make better ramen at home by spicing up a nongshim kimchi ramen from AH

Not worth it

The place is clean and the service is fast, but that's it. There's no appeal in the decor at all.
I found the ramen very tasteless, I read great reviews and didn't understand why.

Not the best ramen you can get in Amsterdam

If you go there keep in mind that they don't have lots of options, you can basically choose to add more toppings to the base, but the main ingredients of the broth are the same. We ordered the vegetarian one without the eggs and the staff was very vegan friendly. But the broth was poor in taste, I went there expecting some rich and different spices and flavours and that was not what I got. It was dissapointing, but still a decent and hot food for a cold day. The place was crowded, so I don't know if just our ramens were bland and other vegans and vegetarians like the place, or if maybe their audience is mainly meat eaters. I wouldn't come back, you can get better food in other vegan places in Amsterdam.

Tasty hot ramen

This is a small restaurant and service is quick. Food is tasty bowls of hot ramen with big portions. Enjoyable and filling. I went for the Classic size. There’s only four/five different types of ramen they do, only one being vegetarian (which can easily be made vegan and they are very happy to adapt, so much so it’s noted on their menu). You may have to wait to get a table but it won’t be for long. It’s not the sort of restaurant you linger at. Worth a trip though!

Tasty

Small busy place only one main dish for vegetarians which can be adapted for vegans. It was very tasty and warming on a chilli day. Some of the sides are veggie/vegan. Friendly quick service.

Aaaamazing

The veg opions as well as the meat version were extremly delicious! The store itself is pretty small in comperison with the costumer masses but the service is still very fast.
I can‘t recommend it enough! When you‘re in Amsterdam you just HAVE to go there!!!

Tasty vegan ramen

Located in a trendy area (near De 9 Straatjes) the place was very busy when we got there but lucky to get the last table (5:30 pm Saturday). The place was being full while we were there.

Good vegan option. I ordered vegan large and shared with 4yo, and the potion was enough for both of us. A lot of shitake mashrooms for topping, a little bit too much sesami oil for me, but overall it tasted good. I wish they had more soup options (currently soya-based soup only for vegans).

I didn't see any high chairs for babies. The place many be a little difficult for strollers.

Pros: Good vegan option, Good value, nice vibe

Cons: busy on dinner time

very nice ramen

can be quite busy but lunch is usually alright.
very good vegan ramen (they replace the egg with tofu and butter with sesame oil)
the chili oil on the table is pretty harmless, but quite flavourful.
nice service! good atmosphere!
Prices are not too steep! (big bowl of vegan ramen with medium toppings for 12.5)

Pros: satisfying bowl, they know what vegan means, competetive pricing

Cons: only one vegan broth

Raman- tastic

Little place with a big heart. I had vegan ramen and it was the freshest, simply made, fillingly gorgeous bowl of lovely- silken tofu, shiitake, bean sprouts, seaweed, all balanced, clean, and tasty. My partner had vegan potstickers- they packed a salty punch and she loved them. Pinang in some kind of peanut style sauce was perfect- this cold dish was a revaluation .
Can't fault what we ate. Highly recommended.

Pros: tasty, filling, fresh

Perfect ramen for mixed group

Fantastic dinner option for omnis and veggies alike. Make sure you mention you are vegan, because they will be sure to replace butter with sesame oil.

✨ramen & gyoza✨

I ate here once with a friend. On the menu they stated to let them know if you were vegan:). Had a delicious bowl of ramen(fair price) and some gyoza, although a bit expensive, delicious! I'll definitely come back

Delicious ramen!

Vegetarian options clearly indicated, with a note that says 'tell us if you're vegan'. If you're vegan, they replace the butter they usually use with sesame oil! I had the Basic vegan ramen, delicious and very satisfying!

delicious vegan ramen!

I come here about once a month with my colleagues. The staff is super nice. There's a vegetarian ramen option on the menu, and it even says "tell us if you're vegan." You get vegan classic with tofu!! So good.
