Genki Ramen is a cute ramen spot in Essen. The team is Chinese but the ramen chef speaks (and looks a bit) Japanese. While this is not the best ramen I've ever had, it's pretty good for outside of Japan here in Germany. An extra star for the service as he was really nice.
Don't expect the perfect Japanese ramen here but it is very good. The noodles and broths are made fresh by the team and were very good. I always get tonkatsu, but they just have shio, shoyu, and miso. We tried the shio and miso and both were very good. Neither were too salty. The noodles tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. The pork was very good although could be a bit softer.
The gyouza were decent but fresh. They could have been cooked a bit longer, and the sauce was too watered down for my taste.
It would be nice if they have normal ramen spoons as the big one is a bit hard to use but I guess they want it to look cool.
Overall, it is an excellent ramen spot in Germany. Come here if you are missing ramen. If you haven't tried real Japanese ramen before, come here to check it out (also, it's the perfect remedy for hangovers!).
Recht kleine Lokalität aber angenehm gestaltet. Die Portionen sind für die Preise angemessen. Es sah alles recht frisch aus und hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Service war auch sehr gut und zuvorkommend.
Sehr lecker, faire Preise, authentische Küche und schneller Service.
Einziges Manko wäre vielleicht der viele Plastikmüll, wenn man zum Mitnehmen bestellt.
Den Laden in Essen kann ich, wie auch den Laden in Bochum, sehr empfehlen.
