Background
About Ramen Shifu
The Story
Ramen Shifu opened its first taberna on Calle Ayala in January 2017. Its founder, Guo Jianyong, based the house broth on the original Hakata recipe from Fukuoka, learned first-hand on repeated visits to the region's ramen masters. The group has since grown into a chain of tabernas across Madrid and beyond.
The Cuisine
The broth is a four-hour tonkotsu made with pork bones, dense and whitish, served with thin noodles under a wide ramen menu, up to 20 options, from Tonkotsu, Shoyu and Miso to Fried Chicken, Ebi Tempura and Beef Curry ramen. There's Japanese street food like gyozas and takoyaki, rice dishes, mazesobas, a spicy range and a vegan menu.

Ramen Shifu Dining Experience
The taberna is dressed to feel like Japan, with neon lights and warm lanterns setting the tone around a menu heavy on ramen and Japanese street food like gyozas and takoyaki. There's a spicy range diners can set to their own taste, plus a vegan menu, making the room as accommodating as it is atmospheric.

It's on Calle Ayala in the Goya barrio of Madrid's Salamanca district. It was the first of the Ramen Shifu tabernas, which have since opened across Madrid and beyond.
Nearby
Goya is Salamanca with the volume turned down, a shopping-and-lunching grid where the standards are high and the rooms are comfortable. The eating is broad and dependable rather than experimental. Parque del Buen Retiro is close enough to build a day around.
