What happened to me last week was a first. I actually went to eat at the same restaurant three times in only seven days! I had heard of the place called Karma Ramen from various sources before, but had never found the time to visit this Japanese noodle bar. In the end I made my first visit on a Monday evening and it was simply amazing! Let me walk you through my dinner choices:
I started off with ordering Edamame (one of my favorite appetizers at the moment) and Horenso, which is raw spinach with sesame.
As a main course I tried one of their Ramen dishes, in my case the vegan option (Yasai Ramen).
They produce their Ramen themselves, and they might taste unusual at first, as they are made of whole grain, but I love them. Day 2 and Day 3 of the week were actually quite similar concerning my food choices (I was simply too content to try anything else). The interior of Karma Ramen is modern, with painted anime walls, an open kitchen, as well as a small courtyard in the back of the restaurant for those who enjoy to sit outside. The place is definitely worth a visit and it will not take long before I say konnichiwa 今日は (Japanese for hello) to Karma Ramen again.
