About Ramen Shifu - Indautxu
Ramen Shifu in Abando is a casual Japanese restaurant where you walk in, order at the counter, and eat ramen that arrives fast. The space is small, well-decorated, and quiet enough to hear yourself think — reviewers call it "bonito" and "bien ambientado" repeatedly. The menu runs ramen (spicy levels clearly marked), karaage, gyoza, katsu curry don, and takoyaki. A lunch set with ramen and karaage costs around €10–12. Dinner runs €15–20 for a full bowl. Service is consistently fast and attentive — "camareros muy amables" shows up in nearly every review. The spice levels matter here: level 3 is "bastante fuerte" (quite strong), so ask before you order if heat isn't your thing. Most customers are college students, groups, and tourists, but solo diners eat here regularly. The ramen portions are generous — reviewers note the "tamaño grande" — and the takoyaki gets specific praise. No reservations needed for lunch walk-ins, though Google notes lunch and dinner reservations are recommended on busier days.
What Stands Out
Ramen that tastes right
"Muy bonito lugar y el ramen delicioso, sobre todo los picosos" and "el ramen 👌" appear across reviews. The spicy ramen gets consistent praise, though one reviewer noted the tan tan ramen "pudo haber estado mejor" — so stick to the popular spicy versions.
Fast, attentive service
"Servicio rápido y muy amable" and "un amor de personal, la comida SUPER BUENA" show up multiple times. Staff check on you, notice when you need water, and move orders quickly without rushing you.
Value for portion size
"Muy buena cantidad de ramen, tamaño grande" and "nada caros por lo generosos que son los platos" — reviewers specifically note the ramen bowls are large and the price-to-portion ratio beats most competitors in Bilbao.
