Hands down, ๐ THE ๐ best ๐ restaurant in Dublin to satisfy a ramen craving ๐ฎ๐ช๐ (and any craving really, it's that good ๐) A cosy and bustling atmosphere, I'd recommend getting a reservation for Ramen Co since it can get pretty busy and for good reason too ๐ฅ ๐ Get the takoyaki... no words can do it justice, you'll love it, trust โค๏ธ ๐ Get the dumplings too ya, you're in a ramen resturant, get them, they're mind-blowing ๐คฏ ๐ Obviously get some ramen, I hit up the prawn ramen and the prawn ramen hit back it was that good. I'm an average enjoyer of ramen, usually prefer other dishes like rice bowls but I'll give the prawn ramen it's due, it slapped, beyond good ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ โค๏ธ The staff genuinely seemed to be having a great time and their energy passed to the customers, EVERYTHING was perfect from a service point of view - they were super attentive and sweet ๐๐ based customer service ๐ฏ
Being critical next, here's one or two parts that weren't as incredible as the previously mentioned home-runs โ ๏ธ ๐ the sushi and dessert were by no stretch bad, matter of fact, I was actually surprised by the desserts presentation and how good it was BUT it is a ramen resturant so desserts aren't going to be their specialty, if you have a sweet tooth grab a ๐จ, otherwise, I'd recommend an extra side to fill you up since the dumplings and takoyaki were ๐ฏ the sushi was not as good as the other items on the menu I'd say, once again, finished it and enjoyed it but if I could go back and get another round of that takoyaki, I 100% would ๐คค
Overall, you can see I'm not the only one who loved this restaurant with the number of glowing reviews on here โจ๏ธ if you're in the area then you're missing out if you don't get a bite in this cosy, bustling hive of warmth and next...
ย ย ย Read moreWell, let's not get into the food yet. We went in this evening (Wednesday). There were no seats. Went in, told the girl at the till we were two people. She said we ll have to wait for 15 minutes. On a real cold evening, waiting out for 15 mins! So I went back in and told her we ll go into Tesco and be back 5-7 mins. Which we did. By the time we got there, there were a few more people. I waited back patiently, outside the door. But people kept walking in and standing in. When clearly there is a bench out, which means we wait out. The staff did not even care to say myself and my partner were waiting there for ages. Since I wanted to have ramen, I dragged my partner through this. Quite disappointed with food too. Been to other ramen bars and enjoyed the food. This wasn't my favourite! Well, the pictures looks decent. But that's about it! Not complaining about the staff. But definitely need to have better queueing system. I understand you don't accept reservation. But what about people patiently waiting out to get in? On a cold evening!...
ย ย ย Read moreIf youโre ordering from Ramen Co. because you used to like the Ramen Kitchen you will be a bit disappointed. It seems that after the Reopening they decided to go for a take away (cheaper, quicker) type of ramen rather than keeping their original recipe. Their shashu pork ramen that before used to come packed with veggies now only has a bit of seaweed and half of a picked egg. Nothing else. And the main event, the broth, totally changed... which is a shame. Anyways, for 12 euro they do provide a good service and value for money given its a take away. But To be honest I wish they wouldโve been more confident with themselves and opted to raise prices a bit in order to keep the same standards rather than producing standard cuisine. Iโm sure people would be willing...
