Tensai ramen in Rotterdam Centrum

Excellent ramen, very friendly service, I highly recommend it! 🤩

Great ramen! Authentic broth and noodles! Also great service and good vibe. Will be back next time!

I went to eat here twice and it is a great place! The food is just delicious and it already started to become popular since I saw a queue when I left... I will absolutely return here to try out the other dishes :)

The food here is delicious! It's a small restaurant, and 3 p.m. is a quiet time to eat. The staff is very friendly! Reservations are recommended, as the food is homemade and of good quality. They don't have desserts, only drinks, and advance reservations are recommended.

Went a fair while ago but honestly it was very nice and I'd like to visit again one day.

The food was super delicious, and the staff was very friendly!

Très bon ramen, avec beaucoup de saveurs et servi dans un grand bol. Le personnel est sympa et rapide, et les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables. Je recommande si vous cherchez un endroit simple et bon.

Absolutely top-notch! Delicious, creamy, and tons of toppings (we tried three different kinds). The quality is definitely top-notch. The line outside the restaurant is several to a dozen people long, so you have to wait a while to be seated. The restaurant isn't very large, hence the lines, and it's clear it's very busy. But once you wait, get seated, and get a seat, you won't regret it. Provided, of course, that you like Japanese cuisine, specifically ramen. It's seriously the best I've ever had. The service is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are several people in the kitchen, so the food arrives quickly. The restaurant has a small restroom. In short, I highly recommend it!

Staff is very accommodating and helpful. I ordered karaage and black tonkotsu ramen. The staff offered to adjust the level of saltiness of the ramen if I wanted, but I thought it was fine. The broth was good, but I wouldn't have minded if the black garlic had been a bit stronger. The restaurant is nicely decorated, modern, industrial and Asian mix.

Amazing!! Kara Age was sooo delicious, highly recommended. The veggie Tan Tan Men was also truly delicious. It was a bit too spicy for me at first, but they adjusted it after I pointed it out, and within a few minutes, my food was back with the perfect amount of spice! Super friendly people. Thank you, I'll definitely be back!

This place serves the best ramen in town! 😋 I tried their most expensive bowl at 17.80€, and it was absolutely worth it. They even offer free chili oil, which was incredibly flavorful. 🔥 The takoyaki were perfectly crispy, with a delicious sauce that made the dish unforgettable.

We visited this restaurant because of its good review, and it didn’t disappoint us. The noodle came hot and the tonkatsu soup base was so creamy and yummy! I felt like I was in Japan! The staff were attentive and helpful. Definitely worth visiting!

Delicious and good fast service!

The ramen was incredibly delicious. The portion was just right, even for those with a very large appetite. If desired, ingredients could be omitted or added.

Best windows in the Netherlands

amazing traditional ramen. almost everything is homemade and the flavors have so much depth. highly recommend

Very good ramen, I was in Japan and this is excellent like the ones there.

So good! The ramen is excellent with a perfect texture 🤩 the broth too but you also have to try the ramen without broth! Everything we tried was perfect and we ate it twice during the stay! Addictive! I recommend it!!!

Not a good place to eat something like a "ramen". No flavors, no meat. Waste of time and money.

Spicy karage -1 Japanese beer kirin-2 Tan tan men (ramen)-1 Veggie shirunashi tan tan men (no soup ramen) + extra chicken thigh topping-1 Cost : €51 I wish they have some rice dishes too 😅

First time visit: Ika Geso age, Black Tonkotsu ramen (less cooked noodles), Tori Paitan ramen (no onions), Karashibi ramen, melon soda Highly recommend: Melon soda + Black Tonkotsu (less cooked noodles for those who eats slowly, medium thick noodles for those who eats fast + extra noodles), I'd say the black Tonkotsu is somewhere a solid 8.5+ out of 10. Not the best one ever, but def. one of the best in the Netherlands. Personal recommendation: Ika Geso age, not for everyone, but if you like ika like I do, please get do get it and ask for extra lemon! Up for debate: Tori Paitan ramen, less creamy and quite heavier in terms of aromas like ginger in the soup base and the chicken cha siu still had some stink. Def. not the best Tori Paitan I've ever had, but it is still pretty steady and solid, I'd say somewhere 8.0+ out of 10, easy. I liked it anyways, but I don't recommend this for someone who isn't into or used to this type of food. Be aware #1: Karashibi ramen - this is advertised as level 3 spicy, but if you are a veteran in spicy food, you will not taste anything at all and will be very disappointed!! Ask for extra spicy I guess? Be aware #2: Grilled pork cha siu is still smoky from charring from this Karashibi ramen, but it is quite skimpy (also in the black tonkotsu), so I would recommend to also get extra cha siu with it.

Great ramen restaurant with a lovely ambiance. The homemade ramen noodles taste excellent, the portions are absolutely generous, and the price-performance ratio is fair. The service was very fast and extremely friendly. We especially recommend the lychee soda – it's truly refreshing! Highly recommended, we'll be happy to come back.

Ate here almost half a year ago, everything was great, especially the service

BEST RAMEN EVER! The black tonkotsu ramen is one of the best things i have ever tried!

Very very flavourful ramen. Noodles have the spot on texture and bite, soup is delicious, friendly and smooth service …. Overall one of the best ramen experiences I have had.

Very tasty ramen, very friendly service

Great tasting broth and nice service!

This place is unreal. For over a year I had a few favorite places for ramen but I thought I'd try Tensai. It blew me away and it's now by far my #1. I had the black garlic ramen and spicy kaarage chicken. Both 10/10!

Outstanding ramen restaurant at the heart of Rotterdam. The only place I've tried, that comes close to the authentic ramen of Japan, which I've been looking for, for years. Top 👏

I love the noodles here! The service is fast and nice. During rush hours there’s usually a queue to get a table.

Amazing dinner, super accommodating for personal preferences and the staff was super nice!

Cute place, Food is awesome. Would highly recommend.

Best ramen in Rotterdam, correction, best ramen place ever! The chicken broth, cooked for 8 hours to perfection the pork broth cooked for over 10 hours both delivered the best smoky tastiest broth ever, with no added MSG. Pure unadulterated flavor served piping hot. The ramen was el dente and very tasty, the sous vide pork sliced and torched gave the perfect flavor as with the chicken thighs. Their side dishes were remarkably tasty and this place is definitely worth a visit. I stayed in Rotterdam 4 nights and had a meal there everyday during my stay. They have Kirin beer on tap, fresh and cold! Food aside, the staff are young energetic and ever so friendly. Love this place. Sad to leave Rotterdam. Fully recommend a visit for the tastiest ramen ever.

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, while on our way to another restaurant. I immediately knew I had to change my plans, because even though I'd tried ramen many times in my travels, it had never seemed properly made. This ramen had a very intense flavor, perhaps a bit too much for me, but better to have too much than too little. Sure enough, this time I'd tasted the right ramen!

My favorite was the fried karaage chicken and that you can adjust the spice and salt level on the ramen. The staff was also very kind and helpful. i would definitely recommend!

Excellent Ramen, great service. Thank you

Coming from two ramen connoisseurs, the ramen here is really good!

We went to this place for dinner because of its excellent rating and glowing reviews, and they're absolutely spot on... We ordered the fried chicken and it was delicious, with a very peculiar but delicious coating. And then we had two ramen dishes: the black garlic Tonkotsu and the chicken one... Totally different but very delicious and flavorful. For me, the black garlic one was the best... That intense broth, the tender pork... Everything was very, very good!

A pleasant surprise and one of the best bowls of ramen I've had outside of Japan. You can tell they really care about their product.

This restaurant serves the best ramen and other side dish. They have super friendly, efficient and polite customer service. Clean and cozy. Not so expensive too. I keep coming back to this place. Highly recommendable.

Very tasty ramen. We'll be back, we enjoyed it very much :) We didn't have to wait long for our food.

Super delicious ramen! Highly recommended!

A pleasantly air-conditioned restaurant where you can also have a conversation. Very friendly service, who advises you and even offers to adjust the dish to make it taste good: spice, garlic, saltiness. They also want to avoid throwing away food if it's too spicy. The chicken bites and pork gravy soup were excellent. The meat was tender, the egg was just soft-boiled. The broth and noodles form a creamy whole. The homemade kimchi is seasoned just right and only slightly spicy. I can say that it was the best ramen dish of my life and deserves the price they charge here.

The spicy ramen is very spicy, so I advise caution. It's a very unique place. Sitting at the bar, you can watch everything happening in the kitchen and how the ramen is being prepared.

Amazing, my first proper Ramen in Holland

Good service. Generous portions. The vegetarian ramen has a good broth, but the noodles are a bit bland.

This is my best ramen experience. Excellent food, very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, I look forward to returning!

European consumption is really not cheap, about 17 euros

We had a delicious meal, everything was fresh and well seasoned.

One of the best ramens I ever had around the world, great ! Always open and fast service.

Had their tonkotsu ramen and karage. For the ramen, Broth was passable. Meat was good. For the karage, not very good. Location was good, environment was good, service was very good.

Absolutely delicious! Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Super delicious ramen, delicious food and drinks. Their white peach soda is also highly recommended, very tasty.

Today, I tried eating at this ramen restaurant for the first time, after passing by it several times. The wait staff were very welcoming and efficient at their work, and the service was swift, I was able to place my order and receive my order within ten minutes of being seated. I sat at the counter and caught a glimpse of the effortless and efficient workflow and rapport between the staff; it was very pleasant to watch. I ordered the Shirunashi Tan Tan Men; the presentation was really elegant and the dish was really delicious as well! My first experience eating here was very memorable! I would recommend this place with no hesitation!

One of the best ramen in Rotterdam 👌

Super delicious tonkotsu ramen! Rich and creamy soup base. The side dishes are also highly recommended.

I normally never write reviews, but this place was too good not to. The noodles and the broth of the ramen were just perfect. Honestly one of the best meals of my life. 10/10!! Hats off to the chefs

Without a doubt the tastiest fried chicken ever and delicious noodles, we drove especially from Antwerp for this

Hearty and tasty. Very quick cooking, convenient for takeout. The meat was a little fatty for my taste, but that's just a personal thing.

We got served yesterday around 16:00 by a really attentive waiter. Great experience eating here. The ramen was phenoma, good broth and good chewy noodles. Egg was cooked to perfection so nothing to complain about! Thank you guys :)

Very tasty ramen. We had Tonkotsu Ramen and Chicken Ramen! The Mayu sauce was a garlic sauce that added extra punch and depth. We also got a delicious chili oil to give the broth an extra kick. Simply wow. The meat was very tender, and the egg and vegetables were cooked to perfection. For starters, we had fried squid, which was also very good.

Top quality ramen, it was delicious!

large portions, very tasty, and reasonable prices for a tourist city. 🫶

We always love to come here when craving comfort ramen !! It’s by far one of the best broths and the service was also super friendly - 100% recommend !!

ramen is great, waiters are verry respectful and genuine. My favorite ramen place in Rotterdam for sure

A really good place, I recommend it!

One of the better ramen places in the Netherlands. Broth is super umami, not too salty. Chewy ramen. I swapped the thin ramen to the thicker one without problem. Friendly service, great atmosphere. Will definitely come back soon!

Ramen is gewoon niet lekker, niet op smaak, weinig garnituur in de soep . Bouillon mag dan 10 uur zijn getrokken maar heeft nog geen smaak. 17€ voor een kop ramen. Wachttijd was erg lang . Bediening is erg vriendelijk. Ik ga er niet nog eens heen.

Had a delicious ramen! Nice and spicy!

I missed a good ramen since my visit to Japan, and I found one here at Tensai ramen.

One of the best ramen I’ve ever had. Rich and full of flavour. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious.

This place is a solid five! Super polite staff, very tasty and exquisite ramen. Japanese beer after Heineken seemed much better in richness and taste.

The tonkotsu ramen was superb. Really thick broth. Best ramen in NL

Very cozy restaurent in the center of the city. Soup tastes great as the soup is a bit thick and very flavourfull at thr same time. The noodle is handmade and you can clearly teste this in the texture of the noodle. Been here now many times and its always nice when coming back with my dog to eat Ramen.

Very tasty ramen noodle. Super recommend! I tried Tan Tan one, is good and spicy. Its nice that the spice can be adjusted. We ordered Karaage chicken, it is worth the value. The employees are friendly to guests. We are happy at Tensai and definitely come back! Add point for Pets friendly restaurant. Dogs are allowed and welcome to be inside. Love it!

Best ramen noodles in Rotterdam and very friendly staff!

Delicious Ramen, welcoming service! I had the vegetarian, creamy Miso Ramen which were really tasty! It’s a pity they don’t have a couple more vegetarian options, especially for the starters. The service was really kind and welcoming. There’s AC inside, which makes it comfortable to sit inside. Can recommend!

we passed by their sign saying that they make everything from scratch including their noodles. got our attention 😁 a lot of places these days will use a premade broth base which is fine, but i can do that at home! i've eaten a lot of ramen, including in japan, and this is the real deal here. we got the black tonkotsu and the tori paitan and they were both incredible. loved the ginger flavor in the paitan the sous vide meat had great texture and flavor, their ramen eggs (super important part of the bowl) were PERFECT. jammy yolk, creamy white... the only thing is that i wish the noodles were a little more al dente. but i bet if i had just asked, they would have done that the decor is really nice too! the wallpaper is soooo beautiful. and i love open kitchens. thanks for being a highlight of our trip!

i had ztonkotsu Ramen and a large Kirin beer - was really good.

One of the best ramens in Rotterdam!

Best Ramen and Service in Rotterdam. It is that simple. If busy, just sit at bar, even better. First time - Black Tonkotsu to go.

Ramen Lovers, This One’s for You! Dropped by Tensai Ramen and walked out with a happy heart and an even happier belly! This place seriously knows how to do ramen right. Here's what we tried: Tori Paitan Ramen & Tori Miso Ramen: rich, creamy chicken bone broth (cooked for 8+ hours) that hits you with spicy, numbing, sesame flavours. The Tokyo-style medium-thick noodles were chewy and perfect for slurping! Kara-age: Don’t skip this! Juicy, crispy Japanese fried chicken thigh, lightly seasoned and served with Japanese mayo and a wedge of lemon. Crunchy on the outside, tender inside - total crowd-pleaser. Every bite felt authentic, warm, and deeply satisfying. Tensai is serving serious ramen magic - perfect for anyone chasing real Japanese flavours in the city!

The best ramen I've ever had! The broth is very smooth and delicious. My favorite is the Tan Tan Men, and it is AMAZING. The staff are very warm and welcoming, and the service is quite fast. If you want to remove something (like coriander or egg) or add something extra, they handle it very well. I love the bambus, karaage, and their Japanese beer as well. The best part? The portions are really big, and the prices are quite fair.

Everything was so perfect. The food was amazing, the staff was great, they even fix the broth if it's too salty. 5/5 experience.

Visitamos Tensai Ramen en un sábado ocupado, así que tuvimos que esperar fuera en una fila. Eso estuvo bien porque no tomó mucho tiempo. Tengo el tori miso ramen, que estaba delicioso. Mi compañero consiguió el ramen de tonkotsu, del que no era muy fan, lo llamó "sobrevalorado. " También tenemos palitos de takoyaki y okonomiyaki. El takoyaki estaba bien, no había mucho relleno desafortunadamente. Los palitos de okonomiyaki, sin embargo, estaban deliciosos. Nos sentamos en el bar, que fue una gran experiencia, y los empleados fueron muy amables.

Pretty standard ramen, including the softness of the noodles, the broth(surprisingly not too heavy kind), chashu(a little bit too salty). Overall pretty standard, no too much surprising factor but also there is no “shock & confusion” from Asian fusion. No idea why I am eating ramen in Europe, maybe coz I haven’t back to Taiwan and kinda miss Asian food. Overall I would say it is a safe choice for ppl want to see what ramen tastes like. This is a standard example of what you should expect from a ramen.

The tonkotsu ramen was just as delicious as the one I had in Japan. But what I want to emphasize even more is how delicious the fried chicken was. Not even in Japan can you get such exquisite fried chicken, so I wanted to dedicate it to Noriko Sakai, who is in heaven, saying "Mammoth oi-pi," seriously. Finally, I want to say something about the gyozas: you're the only one who can't stand them; they're tough and not juicy.

I had a cold matcha (very nice for the price) and a ramen. Unfortunately I did not like it, since it was a new kinda of soup base for me. Buuuut… the lady serving me was so kind and understanding. She asked me if I wanted something else. More than the fact that she gave me this option, she handled it so smoothly and friendly. Thank you! Made my evening :) the fried chicken was very nice, so that’s why I give a 10/10 to the experience. I’ll come back again for a beer and the snacks just because of the kind service. PS: food was ready very quickly 🙏

Good ramen. The tonkotsu was very tasty.

If you could eat at one place in Rotterdam, I would recommend this. I have been coming here for years in the quality never changes. I recommend the black tonkatsu or tonkatsu ramen and the iced matcha tea if you like matcha.

Amazing Japanese ramen. I ordered the black pork bone today, which is suitable for me who has a strong taste.

Queue outside, long wait inside for order. Food and beer tasty.

I ordered spicy miso ramen today, and I think it's the best ramen I've ever had! The first bite was amazing, and then I slowed down my eating speed, afraid to forget the taste! If I have the chance, I will visit again!

Excellent address! Served quickly, very tasty dishes! The dishes marked spicy are reasonably hot and delicious!

Great food, fast and friendly service. I even dropped a glass on the table, it broke, and the server came and was very careful and caring. Removed the glass and said 'it's okay' (I was very sorry ofc) Good place.

Everything was amazing, I loved eating here with my husband yesterday. We both really enjoyed our ramen. Already craving more. Service is kind too

Doesn’t get better than this in The Netherlands - noodles made in front of your eyes, open kitchen, insane kara-age, mindblowing broth and great, fast, friendly service

Come here to eat every few weeks. Simply insanely delicious. I always order karashibi miso ramen if you like spicy this is a must! Highly recommended

Good authentic ramen. Can be a little busy at times but the food makes up for it.

My friend got me addicted to the black garlic oil tonkotsu ramen here 💜 really lived up to my expectations, and more~ Now I'm sad I can't just hop on a plane and drop by whenever I'm craving some really good ramen 😩
