Shima

Shima is a decent Ramen spot in Aarhus, but there are better options in the city. Don't expect traditional flavors and toppings, this is a pretty European take on Ramen. The bowl lacked variety in toppings, and the egg texture wasn’t quite right. Unfortunately, my extra egg was also forgotten. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Service and pricing are reasonable.

If you want a good bowl of ramen in Aarhus, this is not the right place. I wish I would've taken a photo for proof, but sadly whatever I was served today for Tonkatsu ramen, looked absolutely nothing like the photos others have posted. Since most of the photos are older, maybe they have changed their recipe? Or they were low on some ingredients today? I don't know. Regardless - all that my tonkatsu ramen had in it for toppings were some bean sprouts and half an egg. That's it - no other veggies, nothing green. Just a sad bowl of brown and bland. The noodles were soggy and mushy, and the three bite-sized pieces of pork in it were cooked okay, but had absolutely zero flavor or spices. And to top it off, the portion was very small - the broth+noodles didn't even fill half the bowl, which for 140dkk I expected a LOT more value than three bites of pork and some soggy noodles. My fiance got the shoyu, and was similarly unimpressed. His bowl was underfilled and underwhelming taste-wise. He said the shoyu broth just tasted like water mixed with soy sauce, with no depth or flavor to it at all. The only toppings HE had were spring onions, half an egg, and a slice of bell pepper (what?). We both joked that we could've made better ramen out of instant noodles and what we had leftover in our fridge. It gets an extra star because the interior was very nicely decorated, they have board games you can play for the wait (service is rather slow - we waited 38 minutes to get our food), and the people there were friendly. If you're looking for a place to grab some snacks and drinks and hang out with friends, this is probably a great spot! If you're looking for a good bowl of ramen, do NOT come here. Go to Gaijin instead. P.s. Also avoid the kimchi, it's doesn't have any spices or flavors and is not proper kimchi, it's basically just a small bowl of random pickled veggies.

The place is really nice and the service was great. They have vegan options and are very friendly which is awesome! However, the ramen is quite tasteless and empty, even the noodles are not good. The gyoza are lovely and the cocktails are very good :)

Really great Ramen, I had the beef, friendly helpful staff and good beer selection! I’m definitely going back!

There are better ramen places in Aarhus. There was only one choice of broth and it was a bit boring tbh. The atmosphere was nice, but more bar vibes than restaurant vibes. Same with service - we were actually unsure if it was table service or if we should order at the bar as no one came to our table, so it was quite confusing 😅
