Fantastic food! The pad thai and the koku curry noodles were both delicious. The sauce on the pad thai was thicker than I've normally seen it but it wasn't gloppy. It still coated the noodles nicely and brought a great flavor. These two dishes were some of the best Asian food that I've had in months.

10/10 – Honestly one of the best ramens I’ve had in Barcelona. The broth is super flavorful, the noodles are perfect, and the toppings are fresh. Service was really friendly and quick, and the place itself has a great vibe. Definitely a must if you love ramen!

The Best Ramen I’ve ever had in Europe. The broth flavours were incredible and the fresh noodles were perfection. We also really enjoyed the fresh Kimchi and homemade gyozas to start. Don’t miss out on this incredible spot if in Barcelona.

Fantastic place to eat and one of my favorite places in Barcelona! 🙌🏻 We had gyozas with vegetables (crunchy on the outside, creamy filling), the summer ramen (this was such a delicious surprise! I’ll definitely order it again!), and banoffee pie (no words, my favourite!) and lime pie ) creamy, crunchy, zesty, sweet on one plate) as dessert. Their lemonade was delicious too, and the staff friendly and attentive. Many vegetarian options & a lovely location add to the 5 ⭐️ review. A clear recommendation! 👍🏻

What an amazing place, the waiter was very friendly and hugely welcoming. Food was outstanding a must stop place for anyone near buy.

We are from Germany and found the restaurant through ChatGPT. It is very quiet here, with few to no tourists (except for us). The price-performance ratio is perfect – large portions at low prices (rice with chicken curry €13.10). Everything was very delicious and it is highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the food and drink. Pretty much in old town and very reasonably priced.

Koku Kitchen is an absolute must if you’re craving authentic, comforting ramen or fluffy bao buns in the heart of Barcelona. The vibe is casual but stylish, with friendly staff who genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I went for the pork belly ramen and it blew me away – rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and melt-in-your-mouth meat. Their homemade gyozas are also a winner, especially paired with one of their local craft beers. The downstairs space has a cozy, almost speakeasy feel to it – great for a more intimate dinner. Prices are super fair for the quality and portion size. It’s the kind of place you walk out of already planning when to come back. Highly recommend booking ahead – it fills up fast!

Cozy place with delicious asian food. They offer complex that consists of main dish, drink and dessert for only about 15 euros. The portion is big, so you'll definitely be full.

We had three plates. Kaarage chicken curry katsu, Pad Thai, and spicy Miso Ramen. They were all made fresh and served beautifully. My favorite was the Ramen the broth was amazing! Service was great very attentive and friendly.

Wow, wow, wow. Incredibly good food, amazing service, and overall the atmosphere was just insanely good—it was wonderful. We were treated so well, everything from A to Z was top-notch. And of course, the most important thing: the food. I had a noodle curry dish and it was unbelievably good. Whether you like it spicy or mild, it doesn’t matter—there’s something for everyone. And the starters were also absolutely fantastic.

Carla Yorkston

We went here for dinner and arrived before it got busy. We ordered the spicy chicken balls which were really delicious and Ramen bowls. The food was really tasty and the staff were also very friendly. Service was fast yet it wasn’t rushed. I would go again and love to try some other dishes as they look appetising.

Tak Kumoto

Great Ramen And Asian food option for Barcelona. We also got Korean Spicy chicken and Gyoza. They were so good we did not even get time to take pictures.

Malika Lyakhova

Amazing food, for a 16.5 euro this menu is definitely a bargain. Banoffee pie, pork gyoza and miso ramen were super delicious. You might need to wait for your table, but it’s worth it.

Mario Caruso

Absolutely delicious food. Pork Gyoza one of the best I have ever had. Very nice Ramen. Salad is very fresh and unique. Service is friendly and attentive. Reasonable prices for this quality. Overall a lovely place to enjoy great Japanese and asian food.

We love ourselves some dumplings, so a visit here was an absolute must. There was some confusing decision over which menu we wanted determining where we sat, but once that was decided we were more than satisfied. The food was quick, fresh and very tasty. We shared a number of dishes, it's worth knowing that the buns come in twos, so they're good for sharing. The Pad Thai was simple and delicious but could have been a little bigger. Utterly delicious food and the service is great.

Excelente y recomendable lugar en pleno barrio Gótico de Barcelona donde tomar un variado tapeo y excelentes vinos sobre todo gallegos. No le doy 5 estrellas porque deberían cuidar algo más el aceite que usan para las frituras y por la higiene del baño.

Las tapas están buenísimas, pescadito frito, chipirones, croquetas de bacalao, patatas... Todo estaba bueno, pero solo había una camarero en barra y no daba a basto , hemos tenido q esperar más de media hora. El local tiene su encanto aunque le falta una actualización.

Muy buena relación calidad precio. Raciones abundantes y muy sabrosas. Pulpo sabroso, sin cachelos pero muy buena ración en cuanto a cantidad. Pimientos frescos y muy ricos, y un tamaño perfecto. Las patatas con alioli, estupendas. Atención correcta. La música ambiente, quizás no era la apropiada ni del gusto de toda la clientela. Recomendable y para repetir, sin duda.

Muy rico el sitio para probar la comida Catalana y cosas Gallegas. El pulpo definitivamente hay que probarlo y la sangría muy buena para acompañar los platos. La atención del personal muy buena.

La atención es fenomenalmente cálida, pero raciones son demasiado pequeñas (tal como se puede ver en las fotos). No es por nada pero nos han traído 5 o 6 piezas de calamares y la tapa cuesta casi 7€. El pulpo 18€ y la ración era mínima). El precio estaría bien si las porciones fueran más abundantes. La comida es muy sabrosa. Espero que este comentario sirva para modificar esto porque es un GRAN lugar y se come muy bien, pero uno se va con una sensación agridulce debido a las raciones pequeñas. A pesar de esto, lo sigo recomendando.

Espetacular!!! Llevamos a unos amigos de fuera, ya que estaban de vacaciones y querían comer cosas más típicas. Pues un acierto, estábamos paseando por la zona y decidimos entrar en este lugar. Un bar sencillo, un ambiente alegre, unas tapas riquísimas con una buena cerveza, personal amable, en especial el camarero, y a precio normal, q más se puede pedir. Eramos 5 personas y pagamos casi 75€. Hacia mucho tiempo que no me comia unas tapas tan buenas. Los que nos acompañaron salieron contentísimos y nosotros más aun 🥰

Personal muy educado y majo! Comida muy Rica y Pulpo 🐙 como siempre perfecto! Y Típica tortilla tan enorme a mi me gusta! Solo una cosa baños muy sucios y falta unos arreglos!

Excelente bar de tapas, local curiosamente decorado, excelente materia prima, gran variedad de tapas. Su especialidad Pulpo a la gallega, buenas bravas. Personal correcto aunque no demasiado simpáticos ni atentos. Si tenemos que volver, volveremos encantados.

Buen lugar para el tapeo y el vermut de sobremesa, tapas muy variadas desde pulpo a la gallega, patatas bravas, oreja de cerdo, croquetas de pollo jamón o bacalao, chipirones, rabas, tortillas, pimientos del padrón, etc....... Todo muy bueno y raciones a la medida. La nota negativa que falta personal para cubrir a los clientes, sólo dos camareros para demasiados pedidos, por lo demás perfecto buen precio--calidad. Volveremos pero en horas no tan concurridas.

El pulpo super tierno, muy rico. Pedimos la mediana para dos, y nos hubiéramos comido también la grande. Pescaíto muy bueno, lo terminan de freír en el momento. Los champiñones NOOOOO, eran de lata 🙄 para eso es mejor quitarlo de la carta.... Pero lo demás muy bien. Sitio concurrido un sábado por la noche en el gótico

+5

Buena comida. Tapas no muy abundantes a mi parecer y precio han aumentado desde la ultima vez que he ido pero igualmente recomendable para picar. Mis favoritos son los pimientos 🫑 y también los buñuelos de bacalao. La atención normal, los camareros han sido majos.

Tapas muy buenas, la atención por parte del personal ha estado bastante buena aunque al principio ponía pegas al tema de tener un carrito, buscamos una solución. Las raciones son un poco excasas por el precio pero son de buena calidad. Es lo que tiene ser una ciudad turística. Los precios siempre se incrementan un poco. Buen sitio para degustar raciones típicas.

My sister in law from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA & I (from Southern California) had dinner tonight. Felt like Spicy Miso is a good dinner for a cold night. It was delicious! We started the meal with chicken Bao, pork bao & gyoza. Appetizers were all delicious, too. The server was very helpful and suggested these popular dishes. I would recommend this place to our friends & families visiting Barcelona. Place is clean & ambiance is friendly. You can tell it’s a favorite restaurant because there was a line even before they opened at 8 PM tonight. Hope to be back in our next visit. 😊

Todo estaba bueno sin ser grandes raciones pero las tapas bien , aunque las bravas no las recomiendo, el café también estaba excelente y la atención muy rápida y buena pero no deja de estar en zona turística y hay cositas que se van de precio como la sangría que una jarra son unos 17 más o menos o el pan con tomate que una rebanada cuesta 1,80 que solo es pan , por lo demás estuvimos bien

La comida es muy buena. Pulpo, pimientos de padrón... Todo riquísimo. El servicio muy mejorable. Un chico extranjero que tenía mas voluntad que cualquier otra cosa pero el pobre casi no entendía a nadie. Y uno gallego que hoy no debía ser su mejor día. Paciencia, sobre todo paciencia... El precio un poco caro.

Really cool space, great service but my ramen came out waaaay to salty. We ordered a Spicy Miso Ramen and a Veggie Don. Veggie Don was ok. But Ramen soup had the viscosity of a stew and at first taste, my tongue and mouth dried out from the amount of salt it had. Tasted like Miso paste mixed with a lil broth. Impossible to slurp. I told the waiter and asked for the soup to be diluted. They returned my bowl with a bottle of Dashi stock and said that I could dilute it to my taste. Which, I can understand but also questionable because what would be the normal broth then? I cannot imagine that anyone would be able to take that level of saltiness in a normal broth. I’ve taken a video to show you the difference in the soup after the addition of the Dashi stock. (Original in small bowl) Overall, noodles had a good texture, chasu was tender and melty. But if that is the usual broth, definitely get your kidneys checked after drinking it.

La patata brava cuesta 4,85€ servida con una salsa de tomate y te hacen pagar el alioli 1,70€! Vergüenza!

We ordered the spicy ramen and didn’t see that it contained pork. The guy was arguing about the fact that we didn’t want to eat it. So we asked for another one. They don’t even offered their apologie…

Fuimos 3 amigos, el 22 de noviembre a cenar. No hablo de la comida porque la queja no es esa. Nos cobran 2 veces 59,80€ con el datáfono, la primera dió un error (tanto ellos, como nosotros pensamos que finalmente no lo cobró) y la pasamos otra vez. El lunes revisamos y sí que había cobrado 2 veces por lo que procedimos a llamar. El que cogió el teléfono nos indicó que él no lo lleva que contactásemos con su jefe. Nadie quiere saber nada… no me devuelven el importe. El tema está en la OCU. Muy mal gestionado, algo tan evidente y por 59,80 euros, que a mí me hace daño y a un restaurante no le supone nada.

Después de esperar media hora se dan cuenta que no habían pasado la comanda y cero detalles, el único con la bebida a medias al final te meten prisa para dejar la mesa. Muy sucio y poco higiénico, te ponen la cerveza en el mismo vaso. Primera y última vez

Tapas pequeñas y de mala calidad Lacón seco Mejillones a la marinera la tapa ridícula muy poca cantidad Pan caro pides y te ponen una rebanada de Pagés muy fina cortada y te cobran 1,20 Patatas bravas congeladas En fin nada de gallego,no volveremos y no lo recomendaremos

Vine sola a almorzar y, aunque el bar estaba medio vacío, no me permitieron ocupar una mesa. Todas las mesas estaban juntas de dos en dos y, según la camarera, estaban “pensadas para cuatro personas”. Al pedir amablemente si podían separar una para poder sentarme, me contestaron de forma cortante: “no funciona así”. No lo recomiendo

Dicen que no tienen cafe teniendo la maquina encendida y les dicen que se vayan a otro sitio, te pides raciones y no te dejan sentarte en las mesas. Ademas te meten prisa para poder llevarse los platos

Casi nada lo hacen al momento, todo lo tienen en nevera para darle un golpe en el micro y te lo entregan. Luego 100 euros de factura. La atención por parte del marroquí que oí que tiene 5 años de antigüedad en el local fue muy mala, faltando 1 hora para cerrar el local estaba muy desesperado porque la gente se fuera; no nos permitió movernos de la barra a una mesa.

Upstairs great and and quick service. Food is truly good. Don't go downstairs!!! Extremely slow. We waited 40 min for our food. No apologies, no complimentary desert, appetiser or drink. Very disappointing. I never write negative reviews, but this is the second time happening at Koku.
