One of the standout features of AOI Ramen is its signature shio broth, which is salt-based and infused with a refreshing touch of yuzu.

Aline Pereira, a recent diner, remarked on the intriguing nature of the yuzu pairing, finding it both tasty and interesting, even if she wished for more generous portions, particularly with the chicken slices.
However, not all offerings have received the same praise. While some diners have found the miso ramen lacking depth, others appreciate the unique flavors and the touch of lightness the dish provides. YB noted that the experience at AOI differs significantly from more traditional ramen spots like Takumi, seemingly appealing to those seeking a less intense flavor profile. It's a matter of personal preference; some, like Mei-Yuan Huang, voiced a preference for richer broths, while others may delight in the lighter fare.
One dish that consistently earns accolades is the karaage (fried chicken), which diners have praised for its crispy skin and juicy meat. As many agree, finding quality fried chicken in Munich can be a rare treat, making AOI Ramen a desirable destination for a quick yet satisfying meal.
As you visit AOI Ramen, be prepared for a bustling atmosphere, especially during peak hours on Friday nights and weekends. Making a reservation could enhance your experience, ensuring you don't miss out on enjoying the cozy ambiance and delicious food.

“ The yuzu combination with ramen is intriguing, but I found it tasty and interesting. The chicken is delicious, however only 2 small slices. ”
“ The signature ramen style here is different from the famous one at Takumi. It’s a lighter shio (salt-based) broth with a touch of yuzu, which makes it’s more refreshing than a flavour punch. The miso ramen however is absolutely lackluster. Whether you like it or not depends on personal preference but I suspect most people would prefer the heavier flavours of a pork based broth. That said, their karaage (fried chicken) here is pretty good, and given the rarity of nice fried chicken in Munich, this alone makes it a decent place to grab a quick bite. ”
“ Their ramen is very light. Some people might like this kind of refreshing seasoning, but I personally prefer heavier broth for ramen. Even though I am not really a fan of their ramen, their fried chicken did amaze me. Very crunchy skin and juicy meat. Highly recommend their fried chicken. They are usually full on Friday nights and weekends. Making a reservation would be a good idea. ”
“ Nice cozy ramen place in Munich. In my opinion I would not say this is the best but definitely nice. The service is very fast. What lacked was the flavors of the soup and portion was not at all generous. You need to add everything extra including the eggs with your ramen. Maybe I had high expectations from this place so was a but disappointed. ”
“ Karaage was tasty. Not sure how I feel about the sauce tho (a mix of mayonnaise, eggs, and a bit of lemon. Was good but not that outstanding) The ramen was really good. The salt+yuzu soup base was really refreshing, and the other bone soup was said to be 3X the flavor (not sure what the normal one would then be like) was good, but also not mind-blowing. Overall very good dining experience. But maybe I’ve been hyped up so much about the food there that I was slightly disappointed by it’s conservatism. ”
“ Chicken only Cash and EC-Karte only My ramen was absolutely delicious but I was surprised to learn that they only ser ramen with chicken or vegetarian. I was looking forward to some pork. Nevertheless, they do have some seafood for other dishes, like the fried octopus I had as an appetizer, which was also great The service was also good, the lady was super nice and tried her best to be as fast as possible, unfortunately, she was the only one serving and, thus, it took longer that it should to take the order, to get the food and to pay. Overall, I had a good experience, would recommend the place. But reservations are encouraged, I saw many ppl rejected bc they didn't have a table booked. ”
“ One of the few restaurants in Munich actually run by Japanese owners. The Ramen themselves unfortunately were instant noodles, the other ingredients seemed fresh, quality good, Kimuchi was fine. Prices are average for the area, though I find 13€ a lot for instant noodle soup. Staff was very friendly, service quick. The interior was in Japanese style. ”
“ Good choice to get ramen in Neuhausen. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and super fast to get you your food. Although the ramen is not the best I’ve ever had (I enjoy having more variety of ingredients in my bowl), I love the overall package you get here. Definitely get a portion of kimchi, homemade and delicious! ”
