Decent ramen. A bit heavy. Several options to choose from all good.

l am a Chinese and I love Japanese food. But this ramen is not tasty. the soup is too oily and salty. Meat and side dishes are ok but just ok. Service is good and fast. Don't think I will come next time. read more

I thought it was good while I was there and eating the ramen but it was probably because I was starving. Once I thought about it afterwards, it was just okay. Not bad by any means but nothing to go out of your way for. I don't think I would go back but not mad that I tried it... if that helps. read more

Amazing noodle soup. Everything from the decor to the food was great. Not a typical tourist restaurant in Amsterdam, though they are surrounded by them. read more

I was living on the edge trying ramen in Amsterdam after too many good years of the stuff in San Francisco and New York. Here's the good - the broth is delicious and a bit creamy. The chasu is soft and melts in your mouth. Here's the bad - the noodles are terrible. read more

Yum! I'd been craving ramen and this sure hit the spot! The soup was rich and thick and the pork yummy. I asked for less salt at the recommendation of the waitress and was glad I did as I'm not a big salt fan. I will definitely be back. Also for parents with babies - they have a service lift so we were able to bring our pram downstairs(although baby must be removed from pram first), so bonus points for that! Staff were friendly and attentive. read more

I went here this noon because I was just in a mood for some ramen. I ordered the miso-based hakata. I am quite used to eat salty things, but this one is still a bit too salty than I like while the ramen is not flavoured enough... Other than that everything is good :) read more

It is a cozy place. The food is good. You get a great value for price. It is a great place for winter time and colder days.

enjoyed it so much on a cold january visit to amsterdam - i would recommend this place to ramen lovers

Loved this place during our stay in Amsterdam. Strong broth and delicious ingredients - I absolutely recommend this ramen bar.

Great food. Enjoyed some vegetarian ramen on a cold night after a walking tour! My husband had the ramen with chicken and it was fantastic as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something casual but filling. read more

Ramen-Ya's service is friendly and attentive. However, it's food leaves a lot to be desired. I got their tonkotsu ramen with soy broth and it was disappointing- flavorless noodles, really poor meat (I'm honestly not even sure what kind of meat it was, but it tasted canned), and a nearly fully-cooked egg. On the plus side, the broth was flavorful and tasty. Definitely on the weak end of ramen restaurants. Very central location. read more

Came here while on vacation from LA. Ramen was good! Noodles were a bit harder than what I am used to. Broth was delicious. All bowls are around 13€. A little pricey - but it really hits the spot if you're in the mood for some warm yummy ramen goodness. Also - try the plum wine!!! 10% alcohol and reallllllllly good. read more

By far the cleanest bathroom you will ever find within a 5 block radius. The place is fairly new and the customer service is really good. Noodles not quite on the mark but close. read more

Wonderful gem! Exceeded my expectations for ramen in Europe. Waaaay better than the "best" ramen place in Paris. The Hakata salt is absolutely delicious; rich porky creamy and unctuous. The soy marinated egg is perfectly done soft and creamy in the yolk and you can taste the smoky soy marinate on the white. The pork buns are decent. Not momofuku standard but pretty darn good. Will definitely come back and try out the other Ramens on their menu. read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. My friend and I were so excited to eat here after a busy day, and yummy looking menu. However, after ordering we were quickly forgotten by seemingly all staff members. We had ordered two ice teas and a bowl of ramen each and waited at least 20 minutes as the table next to us, who ordered after us, was served. We inquired after the food and drinks with a staff member who said he would check and clearly didn't because more than ten minutes later the table on our other side who had ordered much later was brought their drinks and we still had nothing. It took so long the neighboring table offered us some of their food. After waiting an additional 10-20 minutes, I checked with our waiter who informed us that our order had not gone through. He didn't seem at all apologetic and only offered to put our order as a priority, though after it didn't go through the first time we didn't have much hope for the second and left. As someone who works in the food industry, this customer service was terrible, even when it's busy. No one checked in on us to see what was going on, the first person we inquired with clearly did nothing, and our waiter didn't really seem to care. Would never go back, and would not recommend, so wildly disappointing. read more

Amazing ramen, better ramens we had in Japan. Texture of noodle is amazing and soup is very authentic. Will return again for sure when we travel Amsterdam again ! read more

Some of the best ramen I've found in Amsterdam and especially good for being in the city center. Food is delish but the problem is the service. Since they are in the center of Amsterdam they are used to tourists. No tap water, no drinks after a certain hour, get in get out type of thing that I didn't like. Granted we were a large group and we sat down pretty late but we felt rushed. Food alone: 4 Service/atmosphere: 2 read more

One of the best ramen restaurants I've been to in Europe! The haraka-men and gyozas are my favorite. Really nice environment and amazing food! If you live good quality ramen in Amsterdam this is the place to go read more

This Ramen place was next to our hotel, we came on our last night wanting to have a relaxed dinner. The Ramen was excellent and the restaurant vibe was very relaxed. We were happy we stopped by read more

Great food and service. Their portions are massive so be prepared for that. Recommend the chicken gyoza and any of the ramen dishes

My man and I lived in Singapore for a few years and most recently in NYC for 2,5 years. And most weekend we'd go on a ramen hunt to find the best ramen in the city. Ganso was the place for us and we were worried that we'd never find an equivalent in Amsterdam. We've tried 4 places before we spotted Ramen Ya on a stroll thru the centre. And guess what... Ramen Ja! They've gone straight to the number 1 spot on our list and there won't be anyone who can take them away from there. Fab broth, cooked for 6 hours, tender juicy pork, wonderful home made noodles, perfect soft boiled egg. The best Ramen in Amsterdam, hands down!!! read more

I liked this place. Very cool ambiance, clean and near a lot of other things. The wait staff were nice and quick. The ramen was a very interesting take that I had never tried before but I liked. Flavorful but wished it had other dimensions of flavor. Maybe that's just how hokkaido ramen is. The noodles are thin and straight and dense which I like. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Not the best ramen in the city but it's very good for the price and location. It's in the middle of the most touristy street of Amsterdam so expect a lot of tourists whenever you go. The service also reflects that: they are very quick and cold while serving you. The ramen itself is ok so if you just want a quick ramen this place is good for that. read more

I had high expectations after reading other reviews, but was sadly disappointed. I love salt and I thought the ramen was too salty. The place is in a basement and has some cool tables and atmosphere but it was steamy warm in there, and the fans only faced one side of the room. Gyoza was good, but my boyfriend and I both prefer Fou Fou any day of the week. Staff was solid, no complaints there. read more

Quick service, decent prices. My friend and I were impressed with the quantity and the flavor, although we were very confused as to why there was a random slice of tomato. Overall, a good stop for ramen in Amsterdam--especially after all that walking! read more

It's a very nice and intimate place. The food is great and well prepared. It's not too expensive and the portion of ramen you get is huge and well stuffed. The soups seem to have much of the same ingredients, but they surprisingly don't taste the same. I don't recommend the Kimchi Ramen, unless you can handle a lot of heat. The side dishes are modest in size, as can be expected of a restaurant in Amsterdam, but the ramen makes up for it. Their teas and desserts are also quite interesting. Definitely recommended, as this will most likely be my go-to restaurant in Amsterdam. read more

Restaurant a bit dirty. Ramen broth was not that great and meat was room temperature. I wouldn't come back. There's way too many restaurants to try in Amsterdam. read more

the service was good and the food was excellent. service was quick and friendly. even after a small accident they worked quick to fix it. the food was really good. the appetizers themselves tasted fresh and good. If I ever visit this country again i'd definitely come back here. read more

Come here all the time! Very nice place, large space and friendly staff, the broths are on the thicker side but tasty. Noodles are not the best but the portions are large and the overall bowl makes for a good meal. read more

Overall the service was good and the ramen was tasty, but the broth seemed a little to thick for me...reminded me a little of tsukemen. Anyway, my husband and I both had the mint lemonade and that was delicious and refreshing. read more

The noodles are not your typical ramen noodles. They're oddly strange. This was not the best ramen place. I've had many places that were so much better, I would pass on this place. The broth is so salty. read more

Surprisingly good ramen! I'm from NYC where we have ippudo which is my hands down favorite and I would venture to say the noodles are very similar to what you'd get at ippudo. I got the special salt ramen with the miso glazed braised char siu and it was excellent! Not what I expected to eat in Amsterdam but a worthwhile stop! read more

The soup bases are all very heavy (and salty). Nothing "light". It's a nice atmosphere and setting. The service was good, as well.

Great ramen joint in Amsterdam I found on yelp and reminds me of Ippudo in NYC and other asian countries. Location is great and very easy to find being right around the corner from Dam Square and de Bijenkorf department store near a canal. I had their Hakata Ramen Deluxe which was very good but can be spicy for some (but def not for me) and their Chicken Karage buns which was very good and tasty. I will def be back again my next trip to Amsterdam. read more

Better than average but still no wow factor here. Nice touch with the homemade noodles and the soup is relatively clean tasting. Good enough to eat again if I was in the area. read more

Nice fresh noodles and tasty broth. The spicy pork ramen is a winner.

Just ok. The noodle is just can be called noodle, not ramen! Not sure if it's a real Japanese ramen place due to the taste of the ramen and the fact that Gyoza is made of chicken instead of pork. The staff is friendly, though. If you are hungry, come feed yourself, if you are looking for a place for real Japanese ramen, there should be another better place. read more

If you are looking for a warm meal and a quiet atmosphere near the redlight district, this is a must stop. My husband and I are ramen lovers, so this place was a great find. They are very friendly and speak most languages, the food is delicious and is made with love, and the drinks that everyone mentions is very good! But be prepared to spend 20$ on a bowl of ramen noodles. read more

For Amsterdam this is a solid ramen place. Service was attentive, gyoza was great and the ramen flavorful if a bit oddly portioned (while both my wife and I had too much noodles, her bowl was easily 80% noodle and hardly enough broth.). Don't come in expecting anything close to ichiran in Tokyo but this will definitely satisfy a late night ramen craving. read more
