Brought a group of students here. For many, it was their first experience of Japanese food. The portions were big and food was really good. The staff were very helpful and everyone left satisfied.

The Ramen Bar Dublin – Where Noodles Are Religion and Slurping Is a Sport
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be spiritually awakened by a bowl of soup, The Ramen Bar on South William Street has your enlightenment ready—steaming hot and with extra chashu.
From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the scent of slow-simmered broth, soy sauce, and the faint whiff of Dublin hipster energy. It’s loud. It’s steamy. It’s basically a sauna with noodles. And it’s fantastic.
I ordered the Tonkotsu Red, and it slapped harder than my granny when I said instant noodles were "kind of the same." The noodles are hand-made on-site by a machine that probably costs more than my rent, and you can taste every euro of it.
Vegan? They gotchu. Can’t handle spice? They’ll smile kindly while silently judging. The staff are fast, friendly, and somehow know what you want before you do. Psychic noodle wizards, I tell you.
Prices are fair (about €13 for a bowl that doubles as emotional therapy), and the portions are big enough to silence even your hangriest inner goblin.
Final thought: If you leave here still sad, it’s not the ramen. It’s you. Go again.

Nice deco, ramen quite underwhelming, even below average. It’s filling but for 14.50 euro, one would expect significantly more.

This is one of the best Ramen places I've ever been to.
The portions are huge and just delicious.
The staff is super friendly and courteous. I've come there twice by now and was never disappointed. It's really worth a visit.
The food is very good, measure the quantities because the Ramen dish is brutal... you can't even finish it so don't order starters if you order one ramen per person.
For me, the fact that the place is so dark is a con... I think it detracts from the atmosphere more than it adds to it.
Otherwise good food, at a good price and good service

Very good Ramen restaurant!
The interior makes you feel like you’re having dinner in a neighborhood in Japan. The ramen itself had great flavors with a very large portion.
I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good ramen, a date spot or even a friends hangout restaurant.

An incredible place, both the atmosphere, the aesthetics, the food and the service.
I have been twice and I plan to go more, everything is great and the service is very friendly.
So far I have ordered gyozas, baos and ramen, and I love everything.

Came in and asked to sit in back was told by Spanish lady
no space but as I sat in front they sat at least 6 people there.
Server Spanish male took my order quickly good but never asked if I wanted any water.
Ramen was very good portion size flavours and Ive eaten ramen in Japan and many places and friends own ramen shop so can say that was good. Took a star off for that service which could have been better and had to Go to counter to pay. Server comes to TableTo get your payment normally .
