ABOUT US
Welcome to OTEMBA, where Eastern traditions receive a fresh Western twist. Our concept is based on the dynamic blending of cultures where traditional Japanese cuisine is mixed with modern Western culture. We approach our dishes with a mix of respect for tradition and a dose of courage and innovation. The result is a culinary clash that is both familiar and surprising.
Visit one of our locations for a unique blend of authentic flavors and creative flair, and discover the harmony between East and West at OTEMBA.

MEET THE FOUNDERS.
We’re Martijn, Myrthe and Bastiaan — two brothers and a sister.
As family, we share a bold spirit, a deep love for food, and a drive to do things our own way. While traveling through Asia, we fell in love with ramen and the raw, vibrant street food culture. With OTEMBA, we’re bringing that energy home: rebellious, full of flavor, and packed with attitude.
This location takes you on a deeper culinary journey with a more extensive menu focused on innovative ramen and Japanese dishes. Situated in a charming building along the canals of Amsterdam, this is the ideal place for a dining experience where traditional flavors and modern creations meet.
Located in one of Amsterdam’s most vibrant districts, this location offers a lively and vibrant atmosphere where you can enjoy our innovative gyoza and other Japanese bites and sides. Perfect for a quick bite or a fun night out with friends in cool hip-hop vibes.
