1. Ramenhead


Located on Parliament Street, Ramenhead embodies the true art form of ramen making, preparing fresh noodles using the Yamato machine, an imported machine from Japan, and applying the same principles and commitment of the old age craft to each and every bowl served.
With no shortage of flavour in sight, each bowl features an umami-rich broth and daily freshly-made noodles
Offering two bowl sizes, the dishes average around R145 for the small bowls and R230 for the regular bowls.
Dishes from their ramen section include Tonkotsu, a rich pork bone broth paired with Tokyo-style noodles, pork belly chashu, pickled ginger, ajitamago, mayu, rayi and kikurage. For Wagyu lovers, a torches Cape Wagyu and wagyu sirloin with beef broth, Tokyo-style noodles, shitake, truffled kikurage is the go-to!
Led by Head Chef Julia Du Toit, Ramehhead's ramen is an ode to tradition and skilful technique.
Be sure to pair your steaming bowl of ramen with Japanese sake from their wide selection available.
