The Japanese | Albert Cuyp

As if we needed yet another reason to go to De Japanner… Recently, you can now sit down for ramen lunch there on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 12:00 and 16:00. The menu features a Signature Shoyu Ramen and a slightly smaller Lunch Ramen. Still hungry? Turn it into a lunch set with homemade karaage and a yuzu lemonade, or simply order a portion of karaage or edamame on the side. A lovely (and affordable) lunch stop for ramen lovers in De Pijp.

“Because we produce ramen in Amsterdam, we have managed to combine Japanese traditional cooking methods and modern Western flavors, resulting in a beautiful fusion of food art in bowls.” Comfort in a bowl. This is what you will find at Vatten and believe us, it is delicious.

Hinata | Western Street

Hinata | Western Street

This top store sits quietly on Amsterdam's busy Westerstraat. No shouting here, no hassle and loud music or long lines at the door. But Hinata Ramen, Amsterdam on Westerstraat is certainly busy – and extremely popular!

Inside it is colorfully decorated. And Japanese beers of course, that too. Order? Good idea. Go to Hinata's website and it's fixed in no time. We are particularly big fans of the Kara Shoyu Ramen: just the right amount of spicy.

Fuku Ramen | Ingogo Street

Fuku Ramen | Ingogo Street

Fuku’s mission is simple: homemade ramen, local ingredients and juicy sake. But the restaurant itself and its dishes go a step further. From Thursday to Saturday, Fuku serves a six-course Japanese-influenced dinner (including ramen) for €79. On Sundays, there is also an à la carte lunch, for those who prefer to choose for themselves.

Shop Dun Yong | Zeedijk

Shop Dun Yong | Zeedijk

You may know Toko Dun Yong better as that one wonderful Asian supermarket on the corner of Zeedijk and Stormsteeg. If not, take a look inside: they have everything here! If you come for a jar of soy sauce, you walk out with a full bag. Anyway, that wasn't what it was about. There should also be a ramen restaurant on the top floor of this supermarket. You just have to know, because it is not very clearly indicated. Enough people know about it, so sometimes you have to wait a while. Big portions, good prices, not too much choice. The only downside is that they are only open from 12-16, and closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Takumi (the Ferdinand Bolstraat, the Scheldestraat and the Korte Leidsedwarsstraat)

Takumi (the Ferdinand Bolstraat, the Scheldestraat and the Korte Leidsedwarsstraat)

With three locations in Amsterdam (on Ferdinand Bolstraat, Scheldestraat and Korte Leidsedwarsstraat), Takumi is perhaps one of the most famous ramen restaurants. Why? They only use imported original products, such as the spices and the noodles, straight from Japan. Here you can be sure you are in the right place.

Fou Fow (Elandsgracht and Van Woustraat)

Fou Fow (Elandsgracht and Van Woustraat)

One of the first Japanese ramen noodle places in Amsterdam and luckily they are still there. They are now in two places in Mokum: on the Elandsgracht and on the Van Wou. They have different types of broths, classic toppings and tasty side dishes like gyozas and silken tofu with rayu hot sauce.

Otemba (Kinkerstraat and Van Woustraat)

Otemba (Kinkerstraat and Van Woustraat)

Untamable, wild, and challenging—that's the meaning of Otemba, and you can taste it. Two brothers and a sister shared the same dream and made it a reality. Their restaurant on Kinkerstraat and Van Woustraat (this one focuses more on gyozas) serves traditional ramen, gyozas, and bites with their own unique twist.

Tokyo Ramen Takeichi | (Vijzelstraat, Kerkstraat, Reguliersdwarsstraat and Stadsplein in Amstelveen)

Tokyo Ramen Takeichi | (Vijzelstraat, Kerkstraat, Reguliersdwarsstraat and Stadsplein in Amstelveen)

Ramen is no longer just Japanese, but a global phenomenon. At Tokyo Ramen Takeichi, everything revolves around authentic flavours and the perfect noodle soup. With four branches, including one in Amstelveen (fifteen minutes from Amsterdam), they want to create and spread a new ramen culture. What sets them apart? They are known for their healthy chicken and vegetable broth ramen, with noodles that are tailored to each type of soup.

Windows Impossible | Van der Helstplein

Windows Impossible | Van der Helstplein

Here you can choose one type of homemade ramen and that's it. Nice and easy, no fuss, everything is plant-based and it's a good bowl of ramen that will keep you full for the rest of the day. You can add extra toppings if you want, but that's really the only thing you can customize at Ramen Impossible. Ramen Impossible is located on the cozy Van der Helstplein in the Pijp. It's certainly not a place to dine for hours, but then you can walk on to Glou Glou for natural wine or Dopeys Elixer for a craft beer.
