Pretty quite at lunch time though very nice place with selective memu of food and drink!! Good vibe👍
This restaurant is a culinary delight! The diverse spread, from fried rice dish, ramen and fried dish with to fresh lunch, showcases excellent quality and variety. A truly satisfying and authentic lunch experience! The place was cozy clean, service staff were really nice, the food was excellent. The quiet spot in the middle of HCMC, really good and really worth the price. Definitely would come back. I’m sooooooo in love with the wingettes, one of the best I’ve tasted in HCMC. Flavorful, spicy, rich. 10000000%%%% would recommend
A cozy Nagoya-style ramenya, but a bit too bright for me. The employees are nice, and their services are top-notch. I ordered an American Taiwan ramen, or a level 1 spicy ramen, and its spiciness is already breaking my threshold. The drink I ordered, an umeshu with soda, was amazing. The side dish, yakibuta, or grilled chashu, was also delicious, something you should not miss when visiting this ramenya.
This restaurant's headquarters is in Nagoya City JAPAN. I have a connection to Nagoya, so I'm glad that this restaurant has opened in HCMC. I felt that the food served at this restaurant was more customized for Vietnamese people than that served in Japan. I prefer the food served at MISEN in Japan. It's sad that I can't get my favorite dish, ニンニクの芽, here. Also, everyone tends to focus on 台湾ラーメン, but I also recommend アサリラーメン.

- What is the best dish at MISEN?

- Is MISEN quiet or loud?
- The compact, well-lit space is described by regulars as 'a quiet spot in the middle of HCMC,' though it draws steady expat and local crowds across two sittings.
- Does MISEN charge a service fee?
