Life Berlin Ramen

Shoyu, Tantan, Miso: Ramen at Life Berlin

At Life Berlin Ramen, quality comes before quantity. The menu includes classics such as Tantan Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, and Shio Ramen. The Shoyu Ramen is served with a chicken and pork broth based on soy sauce, with wheat noodles, pork chashu, spring onions, nori seaweed, half an egg, and bamboo shoots. Those who don’t want meat will also find something to their liking. The vegan Tantan Ramen is based on a vegetable broth with sesame, homemade spicy miso, chopped tofu, chili oil, nori seaweed, bamboo shoots, and pak choi. The broths are the heart of it all: the ramen at Life Berlin tastes very convincing, the broths are rich and aromatic, the noodles perfectly cooked, and the toppings fresh.

In addition to ramen bowls, there are also starters and snacks. The menu includes Chicken Karaage, Edamame, Gyoza, and vegan Tofu Karaage, among others. To finish, it’s worth taking a look at the desserts: the green tea ice cream is also worth a try. On summer weekends, there’s an added bonus: sometimes cocktails are served directly from the window.

A London Concept on the Neukölln Canal

Life Berlin has a history that extends beyond the city. The owner previously ran a restaurant in London for ten years before moving to Berlin. Since its opening in May, Life has developed into a foodie hotspot on the canal. The concept is deliberately neighborhood-oriented: reservations are not accepted, walk-ins are the norm. Maybachufer itself is one of Neukölln’s most gastronomically vibrant streets.

If you want to continue strolling after your ramen, you’ll find other attractions in the immediate vicinity: Ammazza che Pizza on Maybachufer delights with handmade pizza and other Italian classics. The famous Turkish Weekly Market also takes place directly on Maybachufer, making the neighborhood a top destination during the day for anyone who wants to explore Berlin’s culinary scene.
