Ramen-Ya Hiro
Japanese Ramen · Eixample, Barcelona · €€
Long-simmered broth made from scratch daily. Tonkotsu and shoyu standouts. Handmade noodles. Considered among the best ramen in Barcelona.
The Delekta Review
Ramen-Ya Hiro is chef Hiroki Yoshiyuki's 20-seat counter on Carrer Girona — a Hiroshima native who moved to Sydney to learn traditional noodle-making, then chose Barcelona for the lifestyle and opened in autumn 2012. He makes noodles in-house every evening using equipment sourced from Japan. The pork broth simmers for 15 hours. Asked for the recipe, Yoshiyuki offers: it is a secret. The shoyu ramen (~12.90 euros) and the miso ramen form the core. Gyoza with pork, shiitake, and cabbage (~5.50), cha-shu-don, onigiri, and fresh mochi round out the menu. The lunch set (ramen plus gyoza) runs 10.50. The sesame flan at 4 euros is a quiet standout. No reservations: expect 40 to 60 minute waits at lunch, up to two hours at dinner. The room is cramped. But the noodles and the broth are the point, and they are exceptional.
