De-lish-us! This was my first time eating ramen and they did NOT disappoint. Locale is great in temple bar. Venue was fun sitting in the basement. Service had zero complaints. Raman was to die for. read more

The staff were fab, and the complimentary starter was a pleasant surprise. The ramen, however, didn't quite hit the spot. I had the tonkotsu ramen and the soup was lovely and full of flavour, and the serving size was generous. But the noodles, though delightfully bouncy, tasted too strong of alkaline. The chashu was the worst - while the outside was nicely charred, the meat itself wasn't cooked enough. The fat was still rubbery (and hence, pretty gross) and the meat was chewy. It should be melt-in-the-mouth and tender - it was everything but. Online reviews seem to say otherwise, so maybe I chanced upon a bad day. read more

I love Ramen. This place has super quick quality service, and delicious authentic noodles. Definitely recommend it for Ramen!!! The portions are huge too! Try the Garlic ramen, it's delicious! read more

Visited Dublin for 3 days and went here 2/3 days, it was that good. Perfect for a cold day, the pho is amazing. Also love the addition of some quick sushi for an appetizer. I recommend the pork pho with the egg on top! read more

Super delicious. Great service. Very friendly and accommodating. We got a few appetizers and ramen and everything was very tasty. I will definitely come back and eat here again. Prices were on par for this type of meal. read more

Dublin was missing a great ramen bar and this place fills the gap. Hidden away in the back of Kokoro, it feels like you've arived in Japan when you walk in. The ramen is excellent, the best I've had in Dublin. The staff are very friendly and service is quick. read more

Probably the best in Dublin, but a far cry from Monta Ramen in Las Vegas or Kintaro Ramen in Vancouver. Broth didn't have that rich silky fattiness that the old school Ramen places have. At Kintaro (best I've ever had) you can order the fat level of the broth you order. Still worth a try if in Dublin. read more

I really like this place and it got better since the last time i went. This time they served us sparkling water and starters on the house! They serve to all the customers a big deep fried shrimp - no charge. Because i cannot eat eggs they served me a bowl of edamame instead (no charge also). Then our huge bowl of ramens arrived. Mine was a salmon miso ramen (instead of noodles i had rice). The salmon was juicy and tasty. The staff was very helpful and nice and the atmosphere cosy. 5 stars. read more

Nothing to write home about. Although the food was fresh and tasted good it wasn't a wow moment and I'd likely not return. The atmosphere is quaint - I'm glad we tried it and nothing really to complain about but nothing really to talk about either. Halifax Ramen accordingly to my son is much better. I'd say pricey for what it was although they gave you a free shrimp sample at the beginning. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The noddles are handmade at the restaurant. We ordered the garlic lovers and the spicy chicken broth one; I forgot the name. Both of the broths were so tasty. The chicken was delicious. FYI the bowls were big portions. We couldn't finish it. So I would suggest starving before you go. :) read more

Very cool place. Vibe was traditional and modern at the same time. Reminded me of something I would see in Bladerunner. The ramen was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly. read more

I can't keep away from this place - though I work nearby so the temptation is always close at hand. I prefer to pop in at lunch time as the prices are cheaper than evening, if you're eating in you get a starter with your order. The staff are efficient and accommodating. Its not a place you'll settle into for the evening as the stools aren't the most comfortable but if you're grabbing a quick lunch or dinner for an hour its perfect. The tofu ramen is my meal of choice ... I'm craving it as I type! I've even brought my traditional meat and two veg Dad here and he's enjoyed the choice! read more

Awesome little place! I had the salmon miso ramen. Really good quality salmon fillet, the broth was delicious although I think I'd go spicy next time for an extra kick!!! We were offered prawn katsu while we waited for our noodles which was a lovely surprise and super tasty. Sweet tunes too! All round win! :) read more

Who would have thought, a good bowl of ramen in Dublin, Ireland! Saw all of the positive reviews on Yelp and thought why not, it's the perfect weather for ramen, COLD! Walking up, don't be discouraged by the bento/sushi box at the front, just walk towards the back of the bento shelves and that's where the ramen bar is. I ordered the karaage and tonkotsu red (= spicy) ramen. They also have a chicken broth, veggie broth and fish/miso broth. The tonkotsu red at the "spicy" level is not very spicy, so if you're into spicy foods, you should order the "hot". The broth itself is quite tasty, in fact it had a bit of sweetness to it. The bowl comes packed with moyashi, three slices of char siu and a piece of nori. The ramen noodles, which they make here, is good. It was cooked with just the right amount of al dente. Overall a very solid bowl of ramen by any standard. Note, I didn't ask but this was perhaps the only place in Dublin that didn't have beer! read more

The Ramen Bar - Tonkotsu Red ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

Honestly a ton of the reviews here are quite comical - pompous. With that being said I'll make it short, the food was really good. I'd say the Ramen Bar is a brilliant hidden gem, the wife and I walked into on a complete whim. We had 0 expectations and came out extremely pleased. Pork ramen varieties were very good and the pork gyoza we found to be quite a treat. read more

After two weeks in the UK mainly eating local fare, it was really great to have a hot bowl of ramen on a cold day. I currently live in San Francisco and previously in NYC. This ramen is not as good as the top places in SF and NYC, but was solid and definitely a nice change of pace from all the British and Irish meals we had. It also has a cool casual vibe and was bustling with locals, not a big tourist trap. read more

Great place to grab an authentic bowl of ramen in Dublin. The front staff were great and welcomed me as soon as I walked in to the bar. Perhaps I should have been a bit more daring, but as a first time customer I figured I'd order the most often mentioned dish -- the Tonkatsu Ramen Original. It was pretty good and filled me up. My next time over I'll try something a little further down the menu as they have a large assortment of ramen styles. I didn't have a chance to see the whole space (as I sauntered over to the counter for bar type service), but there was background music playing and a hip vibe to the design that made it an easy and casual space to grab a meal. As there are many places to enjoy a dinner out in Dublin, it takes a bit more to bring me back to the same spot. I'm sure I'll be slurping another bowl of noodles again in the near future. Worth a visit. read more

Really good ramen for reasonable price; would love to try more from the menu. The miso chicken ramen was good but a bit bland while the spicy chicken ramen had much more flavour. The portions were a good size and the noodle to chicken ratio was on point. Came with a complimentary starter which was an added bonus. No duck. read more

nice atmosphere. I recommend basic ramen dishes as others may be a bit salty as they have very thick broth. However, overall is good place. Recommend! read more

Tasty ramen, warm atmosphere, friendly service, I enjoyed this place.

I loved this place. First time having Ramen and I really enjoyed it. Serving size is plenty big and the whole experience feels authentic.

I don't live in Dublin so naturally when I come up I instantly crave food from the Ramen bar. It never disappoints! Before becoming vegetarian I tried a good few of the Ramen dishes available and all of them were delicious. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Now that I am veggie, I'm delighted to see more than one dish I can select from and all are equally delicious. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. Highly recommended. read more

The most amazing Ramen, with a huge variety of options. Also a free appetizer with lunch! Not to be missed

Excellent noodle House, not a bad thing on the menu. I came with a party of 20 including 12 teenage boys, and everyone love their dish. Portions are generous. There's a Sushi Bar upstairs and they seek Bento Boxes if someone doesn't want noodles, and they were not as fresh as the noodles. Ambiance is great, they have an area in the basement that's superbly decorated, where they can sit large parties read more

Honestly the best ramen I've ever had. Definitely don't go anywhere else. Order the prawn nachos I beg you. They gave me free cauliflower. SO GOOD. Wow I'm tearing up just writing this like I'm so emotional about how good this place is. read more

After numerous failed attempts at finding GREAT ramen in Dublin, I have finally succeeded! That is to say, The Ramen Bar has succeed! Great atmosphere, nice staff and most importantly, really delicious ramen. I'll be back! One small point; I had trouble finding their phone number to make a reservation but luckily they had a table for me. And boy was I glad they did. read more

The Ramen Bar - Complimentary starter! Chicken kara-age - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, D

Free starter and fresh garlic surprised me :) The noodle could be softer. Noodle soup was very salty. But generally a lovely place. 不过还是巧面馆的酸辣牛肉河粉好吃 read more

Took long to get our order in, waitresses forgot our drinks, and we never got our egg inside the ramen. The tonkotsu red isn't even spicy, it's SWEET (which is odd). They use a sweet and sour "spice". I was really disappointed. Honestly the worst ramen I've ever had. read more

Wonderful ramen bar! Service was fast and professional. Prices were fair, but most importantly, the food was good.

Excellent Ramen. I've been 3 times now and it's been consistently excellent. You usually get a free starter if you order a main so just be aware. The ramen is really really good, I've got the spicy the last two times. read more

This was not a great place to go to. When my friends and I are here we were seated and then no one asked what we would like to eat for 20 mins. Then, my friends' food came to the table but mine didn't. I waited for another 20 minutes until realising that my food wasn't coming unless I stopped someone again to ask. I ordered again and 15 mins later my food was finally here. The server plopped the food down aggressively and walked away. They also didn't know who ordered what so they kept bringing us and other tables the wrong dish. At one point they thought our table ordered edamame when we didn't so they took the dish off our table spilling half of the edamame out and walked away. They didn't try to clean up the mess or anything. There was zero service and when you got service it wasn't that friendly. read more

Very fast service. They bring out a free small plate of noodles. It was very good. The miso chicken was good. Lots of flavor in the broth but the chicken was very plain. The original ramen was good also. Very tender pork and the egg was delicious. We also tried the Japanese style pancake appetizer. It had a sweet sauce, noodles, and pork in it. Very good and I liked the texture. read more

Came here with my wife and 4yr old. Very friendly staff, especially the manager who made sure the staff gave us a friendly family table. Ramen made with a special imported noodle making machine. Lots of ramen options, including seafood ones. Generous portion of fish in my seafood one and my wife also had a tasty piece of salmon fillet in her salmon ramen. They have a kids menu as well! My son had fun and the food came fairly quickly. It's not a "cheap" ramen bar but we knew that going in. Fantastic location, only a block from our hotel the Westbury. read more

Best ramen in Dublin, but doesn't face any real competition. Even so, it's a good meal and I'm a return customer, but just don't think it would survive outside Ireland. Either the standard tonkotsu ramen or spicy works. The broth has just enough flavor to elevate it above all others on the island, but will leave you missing the tremendous depth and character you'd find in Japan. read more

Incredibly rude service. They seated us at a table so wide that we could barely hear each other, throwing menus down without any kind of greetings or smalltalk. They were busy, but not slammed, but the staff still varied from abrupt to outright rude (the rudest was the manager which I was kind of shocked at). They forgot a starter, and all the food kind of arrived at the same time anyway. When we asked for it, it was slammed down on the table by THE MANAGER literally without a word as she ran past. They never asked how we were getting on and the food was okay but really inconsistent- one starter of gyoza was cold and actually really unpleasantly mushy (didn't finish it), but the bun (the late one) was decent. For the ramen itself, one bowl had nice noodles but the noodles in the other bowl were inedible- really tough and floury and tasted vaguely plasticy. The "spicy" dish had no spice at all but the mild one was quite hot, but they were both okay (except for the gross noodles). Flying in the face of Japanese food culture, they seem to actively try to give you indigestion. Plates were removed from the table before you had finished chewing, and before everyone at the table was even close to finished. One bowl of ramen was barely touched but they grabbed the plate and ditched it without a word regardless. The beer was good but there's so many places in Dublin to eat right now I really wouldn't bother with The Ramen Bar. Really disappointing, and we won't be back. read more

I got the spicy torishio ramen, on a recommendation from my girlfriend. It was absolutely delicious. I've never had ramen as good as this before, and I don't think I'll bother going anywhere else from now on. The broth was perfect, not too salty or spicy, but FULL of flavour. All the ingredients tasted freshly cooked and perfect consistency. The atmosphere was excellent too. It's dimly lit, and cosy feeling. The staff are friendly, but not overly attentive. Food arrived fast, and the price was reasonable for what we got. The extras seemed a bit pricey, but there was no need for anything else, as the mains was more than generous enough to fill me. read more

Best Ramen I've ever had, the atmosphere is really good and it looks like a traditional Ramen house in Japan. The Staffs are really nice and patience and the food is amazing. read more

Friendly enough staff, but the Ramen is a big miss. Almost no flavor, at least not overwhelmingly positive ones. They brought a sort of curry appetizer as a free offering--generous--cold and a nondescript turmeric curry with vegetables and rice. My ramen had mushrooms, which I love, that had a chemical aftertaste; it was extremely off putting. Nice enough and fast service but the food is 100% not worth it. read more

I am definitely going to be visiting this place on the regular. We made a reservation for 8 people and rolled up with a crew of 10 extremely picky eaters. We have chopstick aficionados, furious fork fans, spice-haters, spice-lovers, carnivores, vegetarians, alcoholics, and puritans. Needless to say, it's tough finding a spot when grabbing a bite with my work colleagues. Somehow, Ramen Bar managed to have something delicious for everyone and we all walked away super happy. As a chopstick aficionado, the Tonkotsu Red Spicy was to die for - great flavor, hearty meat, fabulous noodles. The complimentary tempura shrimp was a tasty surprise. Each one of our shared appetizers (edamame, pork & chicken buns) was awesome, and the Kae Dama is a nice, authentic touch. The service was completely stellar, timing was excellent, and ambience was warm and welcoming. Nom nom nom... read more

One of the best ramen meals I've ever had. On par, if not better than any ramen in NYC. Having spent the week in Ireland eating traditional Irish fare, we decided to try something different for a meal. We ordered the a spicy miso with pork ramen that was incredibly delicious. Definitely try if you live in Dublin or just visiting. Staff was very nice and the decor was hip. read more
