If you're as serious about ramen as we are, you've found the best place in Cape Town to slurp silky freshly-made noodles, sip umami-rich broth simmered and nurtured for days, and socialise with brimful glasses of sake. Having imported the only Yamato noodle machine in Africa, you won’t find anywhere else like it!

Taking our cue from the ramen houses in Japan, not only with the authenticity of our ingredients and the care lavished on the preparation, we are casual, we are edgy, and we have a vibe - day and night, right in the heart of the city. Our low-hydration noodles are freshly made on-site, left for a minimum of two days to mature, and served steaming hot – just the way they should be. Known for our popularity, we limit seating time to two hours per table, ensuring you get the finest bowl of ramen – and so does the next hungry customer too!

Please note, we have outside seating available for walk-ins, which is weather dependent. No reservations are required for lunch.

    Great atmosphere and service. The food was a bit bland. I expected more.

    We had an absolutely delightful time at Ramenhead. The four course restaurant week menu was divine. The cabbage salad was fresh with delicious crispy onions and a soy sauce dressing. The karaage was crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside and piping hot. The ramen was top tier and felt like being hugged from the inside. Dessert was light and packed with flavor. We absolutely loved the brown sugar ice cream and Japanese cheesecake. So looking forward to returning. The service was impeccable and staff were amazing.
