Hakata Shio
Ryan P.

Its not good. Noodles were overcooked and the broth had little flavor. There's cup of noodles/packaged ramen with better noodles and more flavorful broth. The only positive thing about the ramen was that they give 2 fat juicy pieces of charsiu. It was fast service and in a nice busy spot in the red light, only problem was that there wasn't a lot of people eating there. Do what you want with this info for I won't be coming back, unless the flavor of the broth improves and the chefs take it easy on boiling the noodles. Noodles should have a slight firmness to it and not be the soft mess that was in my bowl. Place must be a hit or miss since some rave about this place, but for me and my friends, it was a complete miss.

It's hard finding a nice big restaurant in Amsterdam, however Ramen Ya is it!! This place came highly recommended and it surely did not disappoint! They were so welcoming and allowed accommodations with their menu items.

Vegetable Ramen Noodle Bowl

January 30th, 2024 party of 3 for late lunch $84.21 We ordered 3 ramen noodle bowls (2x Hakata & 1 Vegetable), 2 extra noodles, 2 edamames, 3 sodas, 1 water, 1 melon drink, 1 tea We throughly enjoyed our experience, very nice bowl of ramen on a cold drizzly day then we all took really good naps Service was great and everything was delicious

Found a good ramen spot after a long day of walking. We were seated in the basement and for a while there, we were just by ourselves. Fortunately we were in good spirits and just loving and laughing about life .

Karaka-Men

I really enjoyed the Karaka-Men Ramen here. I'm visiting from California and every few weeks I tend to visit my local ramen spot. While on vacation I decided to stop by Ramen-Ya and I was not disappointed. Their broth was delicious and the spice level was really nice and added just the right amount of flavor.

Decent ramen shop in Amsterdam near the canals and the center of the action (literally just a couple feet away from Bulldog Coffee Shop.) Something about the cold air and rainy day just makes me want to eat a bowl of ramen despite being on vacation, but Ramen-Ya didn't make it seem like such a bad idea because the quality of the meal was truly great. I ordered my favorite tonkatsu ramen which had an extremely creamy broth with amazing cuts of meat while my boyfriend opted for the chicken kara-age which was extra crispy and just the right temperature to warm us up. I don't know if I'd immediately make it my next stop whenever I'm back in Amsterdam but we definitely were not disappointed with the food and that's certainly worth noting. (27/100--2020)

Hakata Shoyu Ramen.

Great Ramen! Excellent service. In a city with endless food choices, Ramen Ya hit the spot for a quick bowl of Ramen. Broth and noodles were both excellent. My friend got the pork buns and said they were great as well.

I walked by at dinnertime and felt like ramen so it worked out. It wasn't crowded inside and I was seated immediately. I ordered a deluxe shoyu, with an extra egg, and a large Heineken. There was an item that sounded like it could be spicy in the deluxe shoyu, so I asked the waiter how bad it was. He said it wasn't too bad but they could put it on the side, so I could still the deluxe shoyu. I agreed. So maybe it should have been in it because I didn't think the ramen was that delicious. He was right that it wasn't that spicy but still spicy enough to put on the side. I thought it tasted better than the ramen bowl. When I was ready to go, I paid at the register and went out, up the stairs.

Gyoza- delicious! Ebi Furai- crispy and delicious! Sesame Chicken- 3/5, the broth could've used a little bit more flavor. I'm willing to try it again though. Sake jelly shot- my first time trying it & it was great! I wish I could find them where I live!

Kimchi Ramen
Larry N.

On a rainy, cold Amsterdam afternoon, we were needing some hot soup for an afternoon snack, so we popped in to try the Ramen and a drink. We were seated promptly, as a group was leaving as we entered. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had the Kimchi Ramen and the Chicken Buns. The Kimchi Ramen was great!!! And, the buns were just as good. A great place for a tasty bowl of Ramen.

Men Impossible - Takoyaki

Absolutely top-notch vegan ramen, amongst the best I've ever had. It's well worth planning in…read moreadvance and booking this place for lunch or dinner. You usually have to book at least a day or so in advance to eat here due to the demand. We booked a lunch reservation (€10 deposit per person -- deducted from the meal charge). The way it works is you pick from 1 of 5 "sauce ramens" or 1 of 2 more soup ramens. (They have complementary water and hot tea.) The sauce ramens are not soups but creative Japanese noodle bowls. My wife got the Red Hot Chili Pepper (€15) sauce ramen, and I got the Taso ramen black (€18) and added extra spicy sauce (€1) to it that they bring out on the side. We also got 4 pieces of takoyaki (€4) -- traditionally an octopus dish but obviously this one was vegan. The takoyaki came out first and was tasty, though nothing all that special. Nicely fried, doughy and tasty. My wife's sauce ramen came with what looked like fettuccini-style noodles, served with a very rich, nutty sauce, chili oil, corn, green onions, and a few other toppings. The bit I tried was pretty incredible, and my wife was extremely happy with it. My ramen was simply phenomenal. Coming from Vancouver, we are spoiled with amazing ramen places, so I'm often disappointed when travelling (as I had been by 2-3 other Amsterdam ramen places). Well, this ramen was incredible. The broth was miso-based, rich, complexly spiced and amped up nicely by the chili oil. The noodles were thin and perfectly cooked, plentiful and filling. The toppings were a bit lacking, but still tasty, with some sort of crisp cabbage, corn, cilantro, and pickled onion, served with a side of two big pieces of katsu, which were delicious. Top-notch stuff. We had a fantastic experience here and couldn't recommend it more.

Always amazing experience, whether seated at the tiny private table or the large communal one.

This is my go-to recommendation for any vegans who travel to Amsterdam, and it's in one of my favorite areas of the city. Make sure you have reservations ahead of time!
