Ramen Dayo

"The waitress is so lovely and chatty and the food is incredible. I always come here whenever I need something warm and comforting. The broth can be catered for vegans and vegetarians so definitely a bonus plus for me. For ramen, I recommend the devil, it’s not super spicy but does have a kick to it. If you’re looking for rice dishes, their prawn katsu curry is really good as well."

"Authentic Japanese Ramen in the West-end. The atmosphere almost tricks you into believing you are in an alleyway of Japan. The broths are cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the pork is crunchy and soft. It is almost unreal to get such good quality ramen outside of Japan. A little more focus on the low-level details, such as better tables downstairs, better bamboo and more authentic condiments, could easily result in a recommendation from Michelin. Keep up the standards. Note: I visited twice, and the quality didn't drop. Highly recommend visiting Ramen Dayo. Don't forget to book ahead if you want to participate in the realm of the Japanese environment. Otherwise, you can find somewhat comfortable tables at Ashton Lane too."

"Went here for dinner after my business meeting. I ordered the famous chicken katsu and this is my favourite as well. The food did not disappoint me, price is okey for the amount of food given the recent inflation. You need to ensure that you booked a table as this place get booked up everyday as I went without booking the next day and I was told that the waiting time is half an hour. The location is good and the japanese ambiance is great!"

"This place is a true gem! Its small indeed with only 6 tables or so but that makes it so much more special! It felt cozy and intimate, tables are perfect for 4-5 people max, all in all an authentic experience and the food was fantastic! Everyone at our table agreed :) Tantanmen was out of this world and Takoyaki also deserves to be mentioned as it was definitely a highlight: dough balls filled with pieces of octopus, topped with sauce and bonito flakes.. so good! Really good food and nice fusion cocktails. Free parking available nearby!"

"Straightforward menu of ramen or don (rice bowls) with interesting side dishes/appetisers. Loving the drinks menu of some interesting Japanese inspired cocktails. Nice interior and well decorated with cozy vibes but very limited seating and quite cramped. Difficult for large groups, should book prior to visiting."
