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.

    We sat in the outside courtyard in the evening and it had a really great ambiance. Food is pricey but worth it for a good evening.

    The restaurant was busy and the service was good but a bit on the slow-side. Sitting outside on the square, one felt as if one had been transported to a different country. The food was very tasty, portions generous and the flavour combinations exceptional. This was a wonderful experience all round. We'll be back!

    This was AMAZING! It started with the wonderful service of Oscar, who explained everything to us. Starting off with the Karaage which was the perfect balance between juicy and crispy. Then when our Ramen bowls came, it was simply divine. I do believe my fiancé lost a piece of his heart to the ramen. We decided to try the Japanese cheesecake and oh my word, the explosion of flavours in the three elements were wild. The dark chocolate mint ice cream stole another piece of his heart. This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years. We cannot wait to be back.

    Ramenhead definitely lived up to the hype! We visited to have a date before my birthday and we will be visiting again soon. The vibe was relaxed and cozy. The staff were really welcoming, friendly and gave us superb recommendations. We loved the tofu ramen and it's the best one we've had so far
