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.

    Loved the experience. The food was delicious. Goyza was also excellent but I think too highly priced considering the rest of the menu.

    Food never disappoints here. Soft meat, super flavorful broth and the noodles are cooked perfectly. Very professional service and friendly staff. Having to wait a bit outside the door (even after booking, as the hostess was busy inside) was a bit awkward. Bit pricy, but excellent experience!

    Great service and I enjoyed the most amazing vegan ramen option. Lynn, the manager, is so lovely and really took care of us. Would recommend to anyone and hope to be back soon!
