Nanaban is a Japanese noodle bar in Zaventem. It is rather small, with one center "bar disk" that you can sit around to enjoy your noodles and a few small tables for two. During lunch time, the place fills up pretty quickly, so be in time or prepare to wait. A good sign is that Japanese business people show up and queue for their noodles!
At first, you may find the service very limited and not flexible, however, the concept is clearly described on Nanaban's website. In order to be able to serve Ramen noodles without sacrificing quality, some compromises had to be made regarding the menu etc. So don't expect coffee/tea or dessert afterwards. Just slurp your noodles (and get out).
The noodles are good, no doubt about that. But do they blow your socks off? Hmm, maybe not.
