Worth it if you want a ramen bowl in the centre and accept 120 to 270 lei a bowl, per the venue menu.

Check the Wagyu section before ordering, prices there run into the hundreds and thousands of lei on the site menu. It closes early, 21:00 most days and 22:00 on Friday and Saturday, per Google and the schedule on the site.
SAYHI Rāmen Bar sits at Strada Mitropolit Petru Movilă 23/4, in central Chișinău, per the Google address. The Rámen section of the venue site menu lists ten bowls, from Yasai on vegetable broth at 120 lei up to Tottori 2.0 with beef slices at 270 lei; the same menu carries chicken and prawn gyoza at 120 lei, an all day breakfast section, and a Wagyu section marked Thursday to Saturday where Miyazaki A5 dishes reach 1700 lei. Beer runs 60 to 80 lei and wine by the glass 65 to 85 lei, also per the site menu. Google reviews disagree on the atmosphere · one describes loud rock music, energy and a young crowd, another a calm and comfortable room. Two reviewers praise the chefs for explaining every dish, the ramen egg cooked to perfection, the duck and the prawns. A 4 star review, though, says the broth tasted sweet rather than umami, that some bowls came with raw spinach and haphazardly placed toppings, and that they waited 20 minutes for a table and another 15 to 20 for the food. Another 4 star reviewer writes that the food came quickly and was good, but not too special. The site points to delivery through Glovo and Straus.

“First time going there, loved it. Service was super nice, i barely sat down and the guy there was already pouring me a glass of water, ordered some gyoza and a bottle of beer, got my food about 10 minutes later and it was absolutely delicious. 60MDL for a beer is a bit much but that's kind of the case with most if not all restaurants. Highly recommend.”
“Had a lovely experience at Sayhi Ramen! I tried the prawns, the delicious duck, and some gyoza—everything was full of flavor. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, perfect for enjoying the food. The chefs are clearly passionate and took the time to explain each dish to me, which I really appreciated. I’ve heard the ramen is amazing too, but didn’t get the chance to try it this tim…”
