We had two ramen vegan version with an egg on top on each and two bottles of beer for 45 pounds. Last time we went there about a year ago we had a better overall impression. Broth was not that rich as we expected to be honest. But still it’s quite okay and good quality! Service is nice and fast. Prepare to queue without a reservation

Quick and the service is great. Small place, which I figured was a green flag (I was right). The ramen is on par with some of the best I’ve had. I asked for some chili oil on the side and it was PROPERLY spicy. Delicious, no notes.

Well this was great, tiny place that makes it a great experience but be prepared to wait as yiu get about 8 people in max.
The food, the service the place was quiet something. Excellent.

Wow the ramen was very good, the broth was really rich and creamy, the jammy egg and springy noodles made the dish all the more delicious, this was a perfect lunch spot that exceeded all expectations (Definitely check it out!)

The wait took longer than usual, for 2 ramens and 1 gyoza we waited 45minutes. Ramen itself was good, maybe the egg a bit under-marrinated and very little meat, but still tasty.

Best ramen I’ve ever had in the UK! The broth was very rich in flavour and the egg was perfectly cooked. The chef torched every single piece of pork. Love the Takoyaki too, haven’t had such a good one in so long. There are not many seats so would recommend to go early.

Love it! The waiters were quick and so friendly. The ramen was flavourful, you get a whole egg as well! And it was so cozy inside, it's quite small so you might not a have spot immediately. Highly recommend!

You get to check out the open kitchen on arrival which was spotlessly clean. It's a fairly small space (I believe there may be more seats downstairs) that's modern and has a convivial atmosphere as a result. Food arrived fairly quickly. Chicken ramen was delicious: broth had depth of flavour but still like with crispy chicken, tasty egg, crunchy green beans and plenty of noodles. Chicken wings were crispy and grease-free with salty and spicy flavours as promised. Pork gyoza were plump and delicious. Chicken karaage was sticky with the sweet teriyaki sauce that was well cooked and delicious. Service was very friendly, great with my allergies and fairly efficient.

Hands down the most authentic, flavourful and genuine ramen shop in Edinburgh. Reasonably priced (as much as it could be in Edinburgh) and offers student discount. Wouldn’t get ramen in other places since I’ve had Ikigai. Made me miss Japan

I went to the restaurant in June 2022. The place is tiny but welcoming and you really feel like you are in Japan. Ordered Tonkotsu ramen and it was high quality and tasty. Having tried multiple ramens around the world, this is definitely one of the best. A Japanese gem in Edinburgh. Recommended.
