Recommend to us by our hotel. We were able to be seated right away but there was a wait while we were leaving. For large groups I would get a reservation. Service is friendly and fast. The ramen is delicious here. We tried the Vatten Ramen and it was delicious. We also tried one of the mushroom vegan options which was fantastic. Also, the views are amazing. You are right on the canal if in the downstairs read more

This is some of the best ramen I have had as a ramen connoisseur! I had the tantanmen ramen, and it had the most creamy and flavorful broth with delicious toppings and egg. We also had the gyoza and cucumber salad which was delicious as well. Can enjoy ramen with a view of the canal as well. read more

Ask for a window seat. A very fun Ramen place steps from everywhere in Amsterdam. Friendly staff. An extra star for the very friendly and helpful staff who reserved a nice table for me and my friend by the rear window with a view! Tip, get here after 8:30 PM for easy seating on weekdays, or call before 16:00 for a good reservation spot. There is also a downstairs dining area, so it's larger than it first looks. The mens toilet has a nice washlet / bidet (I'm assuming the women's does too)! I didn't use it but it's very nice. We don't see a lot of these in Amsterdam. Food is delicious. Prices are fair. This is in the "Chinatown" area of Amsterdam, not far from the beautiful Amstel River. The other side is the "Red Light District". read more

We sat outside off the canal and had the best service. It was a young man from England that had worked there for a year. He learned Japanese pretty well speaking to the chefs. We were very impressed! The food was outstanding. Full bowl and bellies. Wish we could go back! read more

It is a small, beautiful place that overlooks the canal! The vegan miso ramen was the best ramen I have ever had. If we come back to Amsterdam we will surely return. read more

Vatten Ramen - Vegan Miso - Ramen Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Pretty Good Ramen for the Netherlands! I lived in Japan so my bar is pretty high. However for atmosphere......you can't beat it. The windows look onto a canal and you see the world float by while you slurp your noodles. They did nail the 6 minute egg I must say. Get your Nihongo on at Vatten Ramen, you won't be disappointed. read more

Found Vatten while we were walking back to our hotel. We both love Ramen and decided to try it. It was a little busy and loved the view. It has windows right on the canal. The server told us that they also have a downstairs area so we walked down. No one else was there so we got a prime time seat. Ordering was easy as we got the VATTEN TONKOTSU RAMEN. It had great flavor and was very happy with the portion size. My only negative and this is a small one, was the service was a little lackluster. Because we were downstairs by ourselves we had to flag our server down on a few occasions. Overall it was a great experience and I would come back. read more

Vatten Ramen - Sake taste, Ramen (with added grilled vegetables) - Ramen Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Having had ramen at probably a dozen of the finest rated in New York City and plenty of other large cities, the chicken-based broth here to my memory may be the finest to ever pass my lips. To say that it's a shocker is an understatement. This is brilliance, no question, so the other reviews here, a couple which appear fake, are utterly useless to my eye. Maybe it's the local chickens which surely play a part in the mix, and no doubt the raw product here is better than the crap U.S. food producers are turning out, sickly birds consuming large amounts of vet-pharma chemicals, never seeing the sun. But I think it's likely more that the chef in the kitchen that really knows his business and spends a long day preparing the base. I tend to not get overly excited about presentation in ramen, and the view from above the bowl here won't bring the wows and cameras out. It's a pretty generic presentation. Portion size I like that they aren't trying to drown you with too much of everything. Too many ramen establishments try to out-volume you. It ain't about quantity, folks. It's about taste. I have to say they have it in spades here. Came with a table of four, chose the Vatten Ramen, Spicy. Spice comes on the side which is a bit odd to my thinking. Lots they could have done to kick up the view and side ingredients, but the broth here really is the star and I'm OK with that. The edamame to start looked and tasted a few hours past its prime. Bonus: be sure to try out the Japanese style toilets downstairs. I'd wanted to try one for years, and now that I have, lets just say I thought I was too old to feel like I'd just lost my virginity, but apparently not :). read more

Some of the best ramen I have had in the EU. A lot of fun flavors to explore on the menu and a super friendly staff. All you need for that lovely noodle feeling. read more

Right. First of all I'm a foodie so I review about the food, don't give a crap about service or decor. Vatten Ramen, I had high hopes, riding on the wave of new Ramen places in Amsterdam, the well marketed announcement of Vatten Ramen was quite something. And I couldn't wait to try it out. There's one rule in Ramen and that's; There are no rules in Ramen! So, you have to admire all the quite unique bowls they server here, personally, I'm more of a traditionalists when it comes to Ramen. I very much appreciate all the regional variety in Japan and do like slight nuances but i'm not into the big bold statements (Truffel etc.) So, I had one option, the Chicken broth Ramen. Where I have to say, I did like to broth and liked the toppings. Broth had a nice fatty touch to it and decent depth of chicken flavor. The ramen itself where nicely coocked. But do prefer a slightly thicker noodle. However, maybe we are getting spoiled in Amsterdam, because I can find a lot better Ramen (even Chicken!) And combined with the complete fail on the egg, I don't think I'll be coming back soon unless they introduce other classics like Tonkotsu Shoyu and Shio. Vatten makes a reasonable second, but my Nr. 1, which is still the only one that comes close to the real thing in Japan is still Sapporo Ramen Sora. read more

Amazing Ramen and and dumplings... this place has a cool atmosphere and excellent service, too! Just pure deliciousness! read more

The level of ramen customization is impressive! I had the Tan Tan ramen with Sapporo noodles. It was delicious. I've been to many big name ramen restaurants/bars in NYC and Washington DC and this was the best by far. The restaurant itself seems quite homey. It's obvious the owner put a lot of thought into the decor. Oh yeah, and there's fancy Toto washlets in the basement. read more

The hot sauce is delicious, and the broth is on point. I also recommend this for take out as it also travels well. read more

I'm traveling with a group of 7 and let me say, all of us agree that this is the best ramen we've ever had. We also got the dumplings and they were amazing. The ramen noodles were so flavorful and soft. The green tea wasn't sweet, it was perfect. I highly recommend coming here if you want the best ramen in the world. Not even kidding! The service was amazing as well. Loved how quiet and chill the whole atmosphere was! read more

The location of this restaurant is amazing with a view of a Canal in the center of Amsterdam. Regardless of the "touristy" location the food was excellent and I would call it one of the better ramen shops outside of Japan. The staff was friendly and forthcoming, and overall the experience was great. read more

Decent spot for ramen. Half a dozen ramens available, including a couple vegans ones (regular and miso) for €14. Inauthentic, but tasty, with plenty of vegetables that are atypical for a ramen (eggplant, red peppers, etc.). Solid portion with good noodle texture. Quick service. read more

This was the first time i tried Ramen, and although i generally love Asian cuisine and having tried quiet a few different types of dishes, i admit Ramen is not at the top of the list. Now, i don't know whether that's because the Ramen i tasted in Amsterdam at Vatten Ramen or not, but quiet to the contrary the side dishes/starters were quiet amazing. Absolutely loved Gyoza, the Deep fried Karaage, the deep fried Takoyaki, the Kaarage don and the Onigiri. read more

By far the best ramen place in Amsterdam. Great authentic food, great people, I strongly recommend it! read more

Vatten Ramen - This is their delicious "standard" chicken Ramen. - Ramen Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

We are a group of 3 and we've all been to Japan and regularly eat Japanese food. Touted as "the best ramen restaurant in town" and run by a "Michelin chef", our expectations were high. Unfortunately, they weren't met at all and we would summarise the whole restaurant in two words: overhyped and overpriced. (-) Overhyped: the chef has a Bib Gourmand, not an actual michelin-star. Their own website and several reviews/blogs are stating this incorrectly which is a marketing trap! (-) Very limited choice: they only served chicken-based ramen. (-) The actual chicken was plain cooked meat slices, not marinated or anything. They called it "char shu chicken" which is weird because char shu is supposed to be marinated and roasted. (-) The soup taste was ok, nothing special. (-) Overpriced: we paid over 60 euro for 3 bowls of ramen + toppings and 1 portion of gyoza excl drinks. Our total bill was over 100 euro. The toppings were necessary to make the ramen an actual dish and still we were not full. (+) The service was good though and the post-a-picture-on-instagram-and-receive-a-free-drink promo was nice. (+) The interior was nice and modern. Overall, we do not recommend this place unfortunately. read more

Vatten Ramen - Truffle Ramen. Clear and weak flavored broth. Egg was an extra topping. Very disappointing dish for 22 euro. - Ramen Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Really enjoyed this unexpected stop on a chilly night. Wasn't even that hungry when my very picky 10yr old cried out that he was hungry for ramen. Aside from McDonalds, this kid never insists on a food place so for him to voice Ramen was a treat. Vatten Ramen was open and we were quickly seated. The menu was limited as they were out of regular miso ramen. Our party of six ordered varied dishes and all were spot on. Having lived in Japan, I can be critical of ramen and Team Vatten Ramen delivered. Small cozy atmoshere and amazing food. The service was top notched and will have me back there next time in Amsterdam! read more

I thought the ramen was pretty good. They offer a few different varieties, of which most are chicken based (there are vegetarian options). I liked the noodles, which I prefer to the ones that Menya Takeichi serves a block away, but somehow I still prefer the overall bowl that Takeichi does. I'll do a comparison next week and try to remember to update this. I also liked that they had rice bowls, but theirs weren't as good and were more expensive than the ones at Takeichi. Cool place, worth a visit, but a little expensive (and no tap water!) read more

Good food...but ripoff service. They stole 20€ from us - my wife had a 20€ bill wrapped around her card. Card fell out of pocket, we realized as we were paying , she went back to table to get card and waitress had pocketed card and 20€. Wife confronted her and she grudgingly gave back card, claiming there was no bill around it. Also double charged us for sake bottle, but that was our fault for not asking the price. Too bad they're thief's, the food was actually pretty good read more

Went there today. Was disappointed that even though it says it closes at 3pm, they didn't want to let us in at 2.30pm... but the team made an effort and we got served with really nice chicken Ramen. I travel often to Japan and indeed... Ramen is different in every single joint. I actually appreciated this one. A good choice in center of Amsterdam. read more

Best vegan ramen I have ever had! The broth actually had flavor (got the vegan miso) and so did the noodles. Comes with grilled veggies - SO GOOD. Also have delicious vegan gyoza. There are obviously non-vegan options too and my boyfriend enjoyed those a lot. Overall, 10/10 and it made it onto our list! read more

This is probably my favorite ramen restaurent. And I have tried a lot. Their broth is exceptionally great and so do the noodles! Definitely worth trying out if you crave ramen or a great dinner read more

We're probably harsh as we're used to frequenting top notch NY ramen places. That being said the chicken ramen tasted like Perdue chicken slices marinated in a French onion and egg drop soup broth. My tantanmen which was touted as spicy had an unpleasant aftertaste and was probably less spicy than a spicy drumstick at Popeyes. 2/5 as the ramen was okay for a quick lunch and service was fine. Karaage was also okay. Just keep in mind that this isn't world class ramen. read more

One of the two best in town (Sapporo Ramen Sora being the other) but if you like tender, blanched chicken cooked in the soup, this is the one to go for. (No pork on the menu aside from what's in the gyoza, so if you want a heartier dinner do Sapporo.) The noodles at Vatten Ramen though are excellent, easily the nicest I've had yet anywhere in Amsterdam, and for €14 for a spicy chicken ramen, it's a very good deal. read more
