Karma Ramen

What a FABULOUS first meal in Vienna (woooooooo)!!! I ordered the Tokyo ramen and added chili powder to make it spicy. The second I saw it, I had a good feeling it’d be delicious. The broth was perfectly hot and the taste immediately relieved me of my worries (I had horrible ramen recently in Madrid). This was a shoyu ramen and although more thin and less creamy of a broth than I’m used to, it was divine. The noodles did slightly resemble spaghetti but the taste made up for it. The meat genuinely melted in my mouth, which was my favorite part, followed the soft-boiled egg of course. It’s a big bowl of food so you need to be hungry. I hadn’t eaten in 8 hours so I devoured the entire thing. I sat alone and the vibe was very cozy and warm. It was €16 so a little more on the expensive side, but I don’t regret it. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna! It’s not right in the city but it’s worth a tram.

Coming from Asia and after days of eating bread, ramen felt like a necessity. We hoped this restaurant would satisfy our cravings, but the ramen on the menu didn’t quite meet our expectations given the price. Kudos to the staff for doing their best though— the service was pleasant but perhaps our expectations were simply too high. If you’re looking for a more authentic ramen experience, I’d recommend getting your ramen fix elsewhere.

An interesting experience, without question. Is there an air of hippy pretentiousness? Yes—inevitably so, for a hipster ramen spot in Vienna. But the chicken ramen I ordered was, to my surprise, rather intriguing. The citrusy yuzu-based broth felt like it might have taken some southeast asian influences. The chicken pieces were tender, and the pairing of the bright citrus broth with sweet snap peas was, against all odds, quite harmonious. Who would have thunk? The noodles were smooth and well-prepared. Still, while I found it pleasantly surprising, it isn't something I would go out of my way to seek again. Everything was, technically speaking, fine, but I wasn't moved by it. Like wearing black on black: sure, you can do it, but you do you.

I really enjoyed this ramen place! The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are big and filling. We especially recommend the Tokyo Ramen – full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The sake is also excellent and pairs really well with the dishes. Definitely worth visiting to experience it all!

Very nice Ramen Place! 🍜 Reservation is highly recommended tho. You can watch your food beeing made die to the direct view into the kitchen. Japanese cartoon like decorations. Very cosy Very fast and well managed service. Ramen straight from the cartoon, tasty & big portions
