    Burnt cabbage could've been served a bit hotter - but still delicious

    Literally the best food I’ve ever had. They easily made accommodations for me as a gluten free vegan and the food was not only value for money but also exquisitely flavoured! Would 10/10 recommend.

    As always, loved my experience at Bodega Ramen. At the rate I dine there, the owners should just give me shares. LOL. I highly recommend. They never disappoint
