BAO Ramen Kitchen in Breda centrum

You can have a delicious meal here. Ramen, sushi, or various small dishes.

The food was so great! I especially enjoyed the Gyoza (Dumplings). The ramen was really nice, I had a nice lunch.

Very good and generous ramen. Fairly priced. I recommend it.

BAO Ramen Kitchen is one of my favorite spots; however, last Friday we got very little soup in the ramen soup. I hope next time it will be well-filled again...

The ramen with extra spice was AMAZING! I haven’t enjoyed eating a meal like this in a while! The service was fast, and the people who work there are very nice as well!

Very disappointing and customer-unfriendly experience We had an incredibly unpleasant experience here. My wife is pregnant, and we politely asked if the vegetables could be briefly heated or stir-fried for food safety reasons. A minimal effort for a professional kitchen, you would think. Instead of any willingness to cooperate, we were met with a blunt refusal. According to the chef, the only option was to simply leave out all the vegetables, leaving literally nothing of the dish. Even after repeatedly and politely explaining, the chef stubbornly refused and showed absolutely no flexibility or understanding. Zero hospitality and a downright arrogant attitude towards pregnant guests. Never again for us.

Best place for ramen in Breda! The side dishes and sushi are also unbelievably delicious! Friendly staff and a nice, cozy place. Definitely worth a visit!

The salmon sashimi was really delicious! Thank you 🙏🙏

The food was tasty, but the service was super slow. We waited 40 minutes for ramen, and then waited a long time for the waitress to come to our table with the only card machine.

Excellent food, huge amount, very tasty, enjoyable atmosphere, very kind and helpful staff

Very friendly staff, fast and really taste plates i tried their duck and it was delicious and their tonkotsu ramen and it just brought me back to japan it was amazing 🙌🏻 fully recommend

Mediocre, flat ramen. Cold eggs. Noodles undercooked. Asked for tap water, got a bottle of Chaudfontaine. Otherwise atmospheric and friendly.

One of the best places in Breda! If you’re looking for amazing quality, incredible flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to visit. The food is delicious, the drinks are excellent, and the space is beautiful and comfortable. Staff are friendly! Highly recommended!

Very cool looking spot. Deff has a Japan vibe and the music was also japanese which helps witht the vibe. Looks very clean everywhere.

Had a beer and a tea. Regular black tea was not available, and the beer ordered from the menu was out of stock. The staff only spoke English.

Price Value perfect, the Ramen was delicious 🤣

One of the best sushi ever! The ramen was also nice. Cocktails were great and affordable. Very nice and helpful staff.

High-quality ramen noodles! With many flavors that I thoroughly enjoyed. Fast service!

They have really delicious sushi here. The sushi boat is highly recommended.

The food was excellent. The tuna was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, with great texture and flavor. The fried dish we ordered was crispy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and high quality. The sake selection was also a highlight — served and presented in a way that made the whole experience feel a bit more elevated. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for great Japanese food, a nice atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience.

Had delicious ramen and enjoyed tasty sake with it. BAO is a beautiful, atmospheric place in the heart of Breda. Wide selection of tasty dishes and friendly, efficient staff. Worth a visit!

I have never eaten such delicious ramen as at this restaurant. As amazing as the service and the food, truly formidable! I will definitely be back here; from now on, this will be my regular spot. Huge tip, well deserved 👍👍👍👍👍

The second best ramen I have had in my whole life! The best was at a Michelin resturant in Japan last year. Not kidding. Seriously amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Staff was very friendly also. THANK YOU!

Exactly what you expect, fresh enough and flavorful

Good value for money. Very tasty ramen and side dishes. The mocktails are delicious. Authentic, cozy atmosphere inside. The staff is friendly, but could stop by more often for drinks.

Good miso chicken gyoza ramen, good value for money. Definitely coming back!

I popped in there today with my kids to try the ramen and it was amazing - super delicious 😊👍. The place is very nice and atmospheric. Really recommend!!!

Delicious Japanese food. It's like reliving your vacation.

I have visited this restaurant more than 10 times & really they serve supper delicious food & drinks. Staff is nice. Good atmosphere. Must go ♥️

The stuff and the food both great ❤️❤️🍲

Pricey for very mid ramen. It tasted like 2-minute noodles from the AH with added ingredients. The yakitori was delicious at least.

Ordered and never showed up. Not responding to complaint.

The food was fine, although we did have to wait quite a long time. We couldn't finish everything, so we asked if we could take the sushi with us. That was possible, but to our surprise, we had to pay extra for the paper bag and the container—something they hadn't mentioned beforehand. We had our own bag with us, so we didn't need them. They offered to give the money back, but we refused on principle. I found it a very sneaky way to charge extra money like that. Even a small spoonful of sambal cost an extra euro, without this being indicated beforehand. Fortunately, the oxygen was free, but honestly, it wouldn't have surprised me if they had charged for that too.

Absolutely fantastic place. Best ramen in NL and not only! Gyoza are fresh and crunchy, 10/10. Atmosphere feels like evening Tokyo, totally fascinating with all the decor. Service is fast and good, food was served in less than 10 minutes. Definitely a place to go🍜🥟

A very nice Japanese restaurant with a great selection of ramen, sushi, and cocktails. Everything is freshly prepared, and the friendly service makes the visit a pleasure.

We had to wait a long time for our food; the waitress only spoke English and kept shuffling the tables. As a result, we were repeatedly served drinks at the table that we hadn't ordered. The kitchen mixed up the receipts, so our order didn't arrive. The sushi was delicious, but we couldn't find any eel in the dragon roll. And that's precisely what makes it so good. Then came the bowls of ramen...sorry, but a simple bag from the supermarket has more flavor. The noodles weren't al dente, but really undercooked. The broth had little flavor. There were hardly any vegetables, and the Japanese schnitzel and fried chicken had no flavor whatsoever, in terms of spices or anything like that. And then 18 euros per bowl is ridiculously expensive. We did get a drink on the house, thanks for that! The interior is nicely decorated. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

If you've never had good ramen you will like this. If you actually like ramen, its a disappointment. The tonkotsu was more like a creamy mushroom soup, most likely thickened with starch to imitate that thick, gelatinous mouthfeel a good tonkotsu should give you. No pork to be detected here. The chasiu was alright. Good texture but nothing special either. Noodles were so-so, needed more bite. Definitely NOT worth the 18 euros per bowl.

One of our favorite spots in town! 🍜🍣 The ramen is always rich and flavorful, and the sushi is fresh and delicious. We’ve been coming here regularly and it never disappoints!

If you're looking for a good ramen place in Breda, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. My personal recommendation is Tonkatsu Ramen if you like filling ramen soups, although they also have milder options. The menu includes sushi, cocktails, desserts, ramen, and many drinks, including sake. The staff is very friendly, and if you're looking to fill up in a cool atmosphere, this place is great. I'll be back!

Really good miso ramen gyoza, the service was really nice also. We got really late to eat and they took us in anyway.

Tasty ramen and soup and big portions. Friendly helpfull staff Highly recommended ramen shop

Top ramen! I had with Charsiu. Service is fast. We will come back.

The best sushi in a long time. Excellent spicy tuna and rainbow roll. Attentive service and a lovely atmosphere.

The food on the terrace was delicious. The staff were friendly, but it was a bit of a guessing game as to which language to speak to them in, Dutch or English, as you only knew when they responded. The drinks they delivered weren't exactly what we ordered. But that can happen when it's busy (which it was). We ate with 4 people. BUT!! Be careful when paying!! After eating, I asked for the bill. In the hustle and bustle, I quickly scanned the bill for the number of menus and drinks. The total was around 90 euros. I wanted to pay by card and said, "Make it 100 euros." An amount was entered on the payment terminal. The terminal was then placed on the table a bit further away from me. Confident that everything was in order, I placed my debit card on the terminal. I thought, "Kees is done." It turned out that 120 euros had been debited from my account, 20 more than requested. After this experience, I finally calculated the bill using the online menu. It should have been around €80. I was charged about €10 too much. So, financially, it was a very unpleasant experience. Charging the customer twice?! It's a shame. It gives the food a different (after)taste.

Very tasty ramen, and good service everyone is so nice, in my picture I already ate so I missed up the look, but it did look better when it was served.

Everything was great ! The food - the service - the restaurant itself ! We had ramen and edamame and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Prices are also good.

Good food, but unfortunately, two of the four left afterward. Those two had exactly the same dishes? Service: it took a long time for our dishes to arrive. The staff only spoke English; one of them didn't even understand Dutch.

The food was very good. They do speak english.

Unbelievably bad ramen. Seriously. I don't know how anyone manages to make miso soup taste bad, but hats off to this place. The noodles: like the cheapest, pale, overcooked spaghetti. The bamboo: hard. The other ingredients: tough, tasteless. Everything: rubber (no joke). And now the broth: I don't know how they make it, but it looks like a factory-made pasta pot from Ali Express, filled with boiling water. We had three different dishes. We threw them away while hungry. I never want to give a one-star rating without a good explanation, but I'd rather stop. We now understand why the place was empty, while the rest of the market is always packed. Don't eat or order here, because you'll ruin it. Go to The Hague or Rotterdam for the real deal. Best regards: a normally very sweet and positive person. Judging by the text, the reviews from a year ago are almost the same. Take what you will from it ;)

The Tonkatsu ramen was reasonable. The meat had a nice taste. However, it is strange that you pay €2 for a teaspoon of sambal to make it 'spicy' after which the ramen is still absolutely not spicy. I then asked if it could be more spicy after which I got a tablespoon of sambal on a small plate. Literally a tablespoon. And guess what. I had to pay another €2 for that tablespoon. In total €4 euros to still eat not really spicy ramen. Too bad. Next time I will try another Japanese who does not charge €4 for a little sambal.

Delicious ramen and sushi. Very friendly service.

Delicious ramen in Breda! The tonkotsu ramen is definitely recommended.

Great place with delicious food , and the ramen was one of the best I've ever eatten. Highly recommended. We'll be coming back;-)))

Japanese food called Ramen. Friendly English speaking staff. Food tastes great, try it yourself!

Great place. Very tasty food. The staff is also very nice. Really recommended. ❤️❤️❤️👌🏾

Delicious snacks and great service despite the enormous crowds during King's Day.

The food is really like in the Netherlands - nothing fancy, no special taste and flair. The restaurant inside is quite nice with pleasant service, but the food is mediocre.

Everything was very good to be honest, but the drink is too expensive and the Coca Cola is 200ml for €3.50.

Impressive service and food. Keep it like this . This is the best ramen I've eaten in the region. Thanks

The ramen was quite tasty, thick and with additions, although it didn't beat the one from Uki Uki in Warsaw. In the end, there's a lack of clarity for me. Although I left satisfied and I recommend this place. Add Vietnamese spring rolls and dinner is ready. It's probably a crowded place in the evenings and on weekends, so we came across a quiet lunch time. You will leave about €70. April 2025

delicious food (especially the sushi) and beautiful place and location. definitely recommended.

Had tonkatsu ramen here, flavour was alright just a shame they use spaghetti noodles instead of thick ramen

We went for lunch, enough space, nice restaurant, very good food and nice staff. We will be happy to come back.

delicious food!! sushi also great!! windows really perfect!!

Delicious food. Everything tasted good. Don't have to wait long. Staff also very friendly. Will definitely come back again.

Certainly the best ramen in town (not pricey). Amazing rolls as well (quite pricey). One of my favorite places now. Ordering that ramen regularly 🤤

Food is delicious and iven in beasy evenings you get your order quait fast on table Not too much deser to choose, Drinks are not best maiden less small, Aperitief Aperol was totally wrong Personel is friendly and helpful Restaurant is small but is not so noisy. Good place to Eat together with friends

Delicious ramen with friendly staff.

Had dinner with friends at Bao Ramen Kitchen in Breda. Inside it is atmospheric because of the small light sources here and there. Menu is very extensive. You can choose ramen, small snacks and various types of sushi. We enjoyed windows and a few small sides. The staff was friendly and came by at the right times. Everything was well prepared and beautifully presented. The drinks were also great!

I didn't enjoy the ramen that much, as I'm used to better options in Rotterdam, Schiedam, and Den Haag

This place never misses! Fresh sushi, delicious ramen, and a chill vibe. The staff are super friendly—it’s become my regular and favorite spot for a reason.

Simply the best ramen you can eat in Breda. Sushi is also really great and very fresh. Super friendly staff and very good service. The prices are also very reasonable it's good to see a place that's not out to k!lll your wallet. The only tip I would give them is to turn up the lights a little bit more since it's quite dark inside especially now in winter time. Will definitely be coming back for the ramen 🍜🍜

We came here for dinner with 4 friends. The menu is very extensive and varied. Sushis are fresh and beautifully prepared. The hot dishes are also very tasty.

very tasty, just have a quick soup, but the sushi and other dishes were also very tasty, have been here more than once and have always had a good meal.

Just simply amazing, have to try it out!

Went today for the 2 time in 1 week 😄 pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, delicious food and a nice positive conversation with the owner! Sushi is great there, very beautifully presented, chicken yakitori was super tender, scallops were delicious, ribeye steak was delicious and nice and tender and the mochi is addictive! Duck and karage chicken also delicious!!! Definitely worth a recommendation! Will be our favorite spot in Breda 😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For lovers of Asian cuisine, really well-prepared Ramen. The service was very nice and helpful in choosing a dish. Nothing to do but come and eat. The portion is adequate to the price

An amazing spot to get sushi ramen or a bao. Staff is really friendly and food tastes amazing.

Have eaten here before, but today it was very bad. Rice was dry. Service wasn't great either, so I ended up having to go to the kitchen to order drinks, because the staff was nowhere to be seen. Very disappointing

The ramen broth has no flavor. I ate there twice, and both times were disappointing.

Ramen is very salty. Sushi is very delicious

Delicious food, especially the sushi is great! Beautiful presentation of the dishes and good price-quality ratio! Definitely recommended

I ordered ramen here, but the oil in which they cooked the schnitzel was probably very old because you can clearly taste the heavy and burnt taste of the oil. Disgraceful

I am so happy to have found this place! They were so nice with us, we asked politely if we can be seated while having the baby with us and they were so nice. The interior is so cosy and nice, lovely seating, beautiful lighting and nice design. The staff was great! Such a nice atmosphere! The food was delicious, was made quite fast and we really enjoyed it. Would definitely come again and recommend it to our friends.

Very average ramen with no distinctive taste.

I really recommend this restaurant, food is amazing and staff really nice! Tip: order the scallop as appetizer

We ordered some bites with my girlfriend, which arrived very quickly. Unfortunately, the rest went less smoothly. We then ordered a main course and waited about 45 minutes for it (fortunately it felt less long because we were deep in conversation). Then, according to one girl, 'something went wrong with the last orders'. If I read this from a recent review, is this normal here? It certainly wasn't her fault, but the boy who helped us was also speechless. Then he himself was very uncomfortable for someone who works in the catering industry. The mistake is one thing, but it is also handled poorly. I understand that young international students work here for their money and that mistakes are made, but either solve this yourself or get a team leader who will explain this better. But since this happens more often, I wonder if there is even a manager present? Too bad we left with not enough food and still lost time and money. Because the starters were tasty even though they were pricey for what you get.

Always happy to eat there when we are in Breda. The new menu is amazing! Very happy that they decided to add sushi, other bites and tasty desserts in addition to ramen. Very customer friendly service! Recommended! 👌🏻

Beautiful tent with delicious food. Rib-eye beautiful medium rare. Nicely decorated and friendly service. Price-quality ratio perfectly fine.

Had dinner at Boa yesterday with my girlfriend. Bad service! We ordered 2 ramen noodles, after 20 minutes we still had not received anything while everyone else already had their food (they even came after us) and it was not even busy, so we asked where the food is and how long it will take. The employee forgot to place the order... so we waited for nothing... so we ordered a drink to wait in the meantime. After another 15 minutes we finally got the food, so another 35/40 minutes later. At least charge for the drink to compensate for the wait and the mistake, but no, that was not allowed/could not be done. Bad service! Takes a long time! To err is human, but kindness is also human. First and last time, a shame because the food was excellent. Also quite pricey at €18 for RAMEN noodles

Ramen could have more flavor and we could not choose our own table even though there were enough free tables left

I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen. (€18) The order arrived fairly quickly. The ramen was absolutely not tasty. The noodles were overcooked, the meat too sweet and the broth tasted like mushroom soup from a box. In short, not recommended!

Didn't make a reservation but were able to sit outside. Highly recommended for ramen lovers! Very tasty and the gyoza was even crispy. Really nice meal

Friendly staff, tasty food and great atmosphere!

What a magnificent discovery. In a setting transporting us to Asia, we enjoyed the different dishes ordered. Everything was super delicious.

If you'd like to broaden your experience in Japanese food, you can find enough to try out here! The renowned Takoyaki or Tonkatsu are very good, add in a quenching Kirin Ichiban or Asahi beer and top it off with either of the sakes. All in all, a beautiful restaurant with fitting music to create a perfect atmosphere.

Very good food. But the waiting time is unbearable. If you have time to wait for your meal, it's worth it. ☺️

Delicious food, the food was fresh! And the flavors were well combined, not overly sweet. We ordered sushi, fried chicken octopus, shrimp and ramen. The location in the middle of the square is very nice and the interior is modern and neat. Owner Wing is very nice to deal with so highly recommended.

Super good food and certainly the best sushi in Breda can be found here! 10/10 for good service, amazingly delicious food and a nice atmosphere! Definitely recommended 😁😁
