ABOUT US

At OTEMBA, we give the Japanese kitchen a fresh, rebellious twist. We combine authentic techniques with Western boldness, creating dishes that feel both familiar and surprisingly new.

No nonsense, just quality, flavor and character. In all our locations, you’ll taste the fusion of East and West in everything: from the bowls to the beats. Step inside, take a seat, and discover what OTEMBA truly stands for.

BROTHER. SISTER. BROTHER.

During a trip through Asia, we, Martijn, Myrthe and Bastiaan, were struck by the raw energy of the street-food scene. The steaming bowls, the smells, the chaos, the pure flavors… but especially ramen stayed with us.

What started as curiosity quickly became a full-on obsession. Back in the Netherlands, we didn’t want to let go of that vibe, we wanted to build something of our own. A place where flavor, adventure and a hint of rebelliousness come together. That became OTEMBA.
