"Great little hidden gem in centre of Malaga. We found place accidentally and we were lucky there were places available. Both veggie and pork ramen were full of flavour and delicious. Also the octopus bun was just amazing. The place is tiny but really cute."

"Good Tonkatsu Ramen and Gyozas, the decor is pretty cool and reminds you of diners in Japan, the music selection was Japanese pop covers of Beatles songs. The service was excellent and if I was staying longer in Malaga, I would have definitely gone back. Bonus: the restaurant is on a relatively chill street but still very much central."

"The bao buns tasted good, but there was too much mayonnaise for me (both in the octopus and the shrimp version). I also felt like the buns were too small for the price. Shoyu chicken ramen tasted good, but I don't like fried breaded meat in this style in the soup. I prefer when the meat is sliced into pieces. As last, the gyozas with "langostinos" filling tasted a bit too bland to me. The meal was average in general. However, I really appreciate the interior with pop-cultural japanese decorations."

"Went with wife and tired toddler. The service was great and food came quickly despite being busy. Waitress was friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and fresh, exactly what we needed after days of tapas. Was reasonable value. I would certainly come again."

"The Gua Bao are really good. We took the Pumpkin halloumi cheese with peanut sauce and a Chicken ones and they were both so good that I want to come back before we leave Málaga. We had a small misunderstanding with the order but you know, lost in translations on both sides, it happens. We ate well even if it was crowded. You might want to come early if you want to be sure to have a room when you arrive."

"Very nice Japanese restaurant. Speciality is Ramen and Bao. I had the slow cooked pork Bao which was extraordinary! The pork gyozas were also excellent! Unfortunately the Ramen was missing taste… The restaurant is in a nice Japanese theme, we ate at the bar which was very nice, unfortunately there was very loud noise coming from the kitchen like some one was hitting something… Fairly priced"

"Seriously delicious! We got two bao buns (pumpkin, shrimp) which were some of the best we've ever had. Also got some shitake gyozas...yum! And each got a 1/2 portion of ramen...one shoyu and one tonkatsu. Both equally amazing. We went right when they opened for lunch and easily got a table."
