    Very tasty cauliflower and cabbage. The beef ramen is amazing with a rich broth full of flavor and umami. We’ve had the hot and spicy ones and they are very very spicy 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️

    Bodega Ramen delivers big flavour in a laid-back, urban setting. The broths are rich and comforting, the noodles perfectly textured, and each bowl feels thoughtfully put together. Whether you’re a ramen purist or keen to try something a little more adventurous, the menu offers a great balance of classic and creative options. Friendly service and a buzzing atmosphere make it an easy go-to for a casual yet satisfying meal
