Ramen-Ya Hiro (hidden) is a japanese ramen restaurant in Eixample, Barcelona.
Editorially verified May 19, 2026 by Elliot Marsh, TableJourney editor. Source.
Why locals love it: Tonkotsu counter on the wrong end of Girona; the 12-hour-broth bowl is on no Catalan worth a visit list but the chef-trade queues for it.
Tip: Closed Monday. The lunchtime queue starts at 13:30; the early dinner sitting at 19:30 is the walk-up window.
