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.

    First time eating at Ramenhead and it was a very pleasant meal/evening indeed! The overall look and warm ambience of the restaurant was lovely and our waiter Oscar was very friendly and helpful. The whole experience was very nice indeed! 😋.

    Ramenhead delivers exceptional flavour, with rich, layered broths, perfectly textured noodles, and thoughtfully balanced toppings that make the food a clear 5/5. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, and the ambience is vibrant yet comfortable, creating an overall excellent dining experience. The wine menu is relatively well priced, which adds value; however, while the quality is undeniable, there are other ramen spots offering bowls that compete strongly on flavour at around R100 less. Overall, it is a standout experience in terms of food, service, and atmosphere, though priced slightly above comparable alternatives.
