Quick Verdict
Yes. The ramen is genuinely good, the broth has real depth, and the staff care about getting it right. One visit isn't enough to judge consistency, but reviewers keep coming back.
You want ramen with proper broth, vegetarian options that aren't an afterthought, and service that actually pays attention.
About Ramen Shifu Vigo
Ramen Shifu Vigo is an informal Asian restaurant in the centre serving ramen, curry, gyoza, and Pad Thai at €10–20 per person. The broth is the draw — reviewers consistently praise how concentrated and flavourful it is, with noodles cooked to the point. The menu's strength is flexibility: almost everything comes in vegetarian or vegan versions, and there's a spice ladder on the ramen so you can dial heat from mild to serious. The space itself is decorated with anime references and plays anime music, which reviewers describe as either a selling point or an acquired taste depending on who you ask. Service is notably attentive — staff are friendly and responsive, though one reviewer noted the kitchen can move slowly during busy periods, especially on delivery orders. It's popular with students, groups, and tourists, and takes reservations. Walk-ins are welcome but expect a wait on weekends.
What Stands Out
Broth with actual flavour
Multiple reviewers specifically mention the richness and concentration of the broth. One said 'the broth has a very rich flavor', another praised 'el caldo estaba super concentrado' (the broth was super concentrated). This isn't generic — people notice.
Vegetarian and vegan done properly
Reviews mention 'vegan ramen with options to choose from' and 'the possibility of making almost everything vegetarian.' One group went together and 'there were options for all tastes.' This isn't a token gesture.
Staff who actually care
Reviewers name specific waiters (Marcos, Lucas) and praise their friendliness and attentiveness. One said 'the service and attention' is what wins you over compared to other places. Another noted the staff 'seemed a little distracted' once, but that's the exception, not the rule.
What Customers Say
I ordered an extra drink but it never came.
El caldo estaba super concentrado y los fideos estaban en su punto 👌.
After my second visit here I can conclude it's not bad if you're a big fan of ramen.

The broth is concentrated and flavourful — reviewers consistently praise this. Noodles are cooked properly. You can choose from several spice levels on the spicy ramens, and they're adjustable without being overwhelming. Expect €14 per bowl.
Yes. Almost everything on the menu can be made vegetarian or vegan. One reviewer specifically went with a group and found 'options for all tastes.' This isn't a limited substitution menu.
Staff are friendly and attentive. Reviewers name specific waiters and praise their attention to detail. One caveat: during busy periods, the kitchen can be slow — one delivery order took over an hour. For dine-in on a quiet night, it's quick.
Reservations are accepted and recommended on weekends. Without one, expect a wait on Saturday or Sunday evenings. Weekday lunches are less crowded.
Anime-themed with anime music playing. Reviewers call it 'a la moda' (trendy) and 'informal.' One person found it an acquired taste; others loved it. It's relaxed and popular with students and groups.
