20 Great Places To Enjoy Tasty Ramen And Authentic Japanese Cuisine
Tablespoon Ubud
Tablespoon may make the best ramen in Bali even if it’s not a place that you would traditionally visit to eat ramen.
That’s because it serves a wide range of cuisines but it’s their bowl of steaming ramen that has us going back again and again.
They’re living proof that you don’t need to be a specialist ramen restaurant to have a ramen menu worth working through.

Izakaya by Oku, Nusa Dua
If you want something a cut above classic Japanese dishes like curry ramen, why not head off for the delicious taste of a bowl of ramen lobster at the swanky Izakaya by Oku in the Kempinski Apurva?
Their Japanese chef has brought decades of experience in Japanese restaurants to create something that ramen lovers from all over the world will enjoy. This is seriously good ramen.

Wild Vegan, Ubud
You don’t see too many vegan Japanese ramen dishes but Wild Vegan offers a fully plant-based take on classic ramen and it’s very good.
Go with a hearty bowl of their handmade noodles and alternative ramen toppings and you can’t go wrong. Who said you have to give up the rich taste of ramen when you go vegan?

Edogin @ Mulia Bali, Nusa Dua
This is an excellent Japanese place in the very upscale Mulia Resort and there’s no doubt that whatever you have from their menu will be excellent.
However, they also do some of the best ramen on the island and if you like noodles, chicken broths, soft-boiled eggs, and butter corn presented with other tasty toppings, you just can’t go wrong at Edogin.

Ji Restaurant Bali, Canggu
We love to start with a bowl of tasty ramen at Ji before diving into the fresh sashimi and other Japanese treats on offer. This is a restaurant where you’ll want to try the whole menu.
That’s because, in addition to an excellent Japanese chef, they have a beautiful view, gorgeous interior and world-class ingredients. It’s hard to pass Ji without going back in for just one more try.

Soya Japanese Restaurant, Sanur
Soya in Sanur is one of our favourite places on that side of the island, we don’t get there often but when we do, we’re face down in a bowl of tonkotsu ramen which uses pork broth rather than chicken to deliver a unique flavour.
The service is first rate and it’s a lovely place for family dining. This is Japanese food as it’s meant to be.

Kyoka Japanese Kitchen, Ubud
We recommend hitting Kyoka at happy hour when their two-for-one cocktails will whet your appetite for a lovely bowl (or two) of ramen.
It’s a short walk from here to the Monkey Forest, so if you’re heading out to meet Ubud’s most famous simian denizens, then calling in at Kyoka on the way back is a must.

Kuu Izakaya Dining @ Maya, Sanur
Izakaya Dining is “informal” dining and this relaxed restaurant led by Chef de Cuisine Endrick offer one of Bali’s finest Japanese dining experiences.
As you would expect from an upscale place like this, wherever possible they use local ingredients and always aim to incorporate the highest quality ingredients in every dish.

Menya Kenji, Canggu
We loved the fact that when the ramen hits the table at Menya Kenji so do a host of additional sauces and spices so that you can tweak your dish to your exact tastes.
It might look modest from the outside but this is an excellent restaurant with a fine pedigree of delivering tasty and sensibly priced Japanese treats to the table.

Take Japanese Restaurant, Legian
One of our Japanese friends will only eat ramen at Take, he says that the food on offer reminds him of home. So, we think that’s the best testament to the authentic flavours you will find at this lovely place.
There are plenty of super tasty ramen options on the menu here and they all rely on huge portions of fresh ingredients. You can’t go wrong at Take.

Chibchips, Kerobokan
This restaurant serves a mix of Korean and Japanese dishes and it’s all about generous portions of Eastern comfort food.
They do some of the best ramen in Bali with a Korean twist to it and our children absolutely love to eat Chibchips, they say that the noodles here are too good to be true!

Sushi Kyuden Bali, Kuta
We recommend trying their ramen before you get fired into the sushi (which you most assuredly will as the sushi is very good here).
Just be aware that you pay for any extras you order, so if you want bamboo shoots, for example, they will be invoiced at the end of the meal. That seems fair to us and we find the food at Sushi Kyuden to be very good value for money.

Dahana Restaurant, Seminyak
Dahana is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of this busy tourist area and you can enjoy this one of the best ramen spots in Bali in peace and quiet in a tranquil outdoor setting.
The ramen is excellent and the poolside dining is a nice touch. We found the staff to be super helpful here and they really know their ramen.

Rin @ Conrad Bali, Tanjung Benoa
If you want some upmarket Japanese Ramen then the gorgeous Rin at the Conrad, Bali might be where you want to go.
The hotel has just turned twenty as we go to press and that means they’re making a huge effort to impress each and every visitor this year.

Flock Bali, Ubud
Flock has a varied menu of different cuisines but its ramen is excellent. We only wish we could say the same for their service which can be a bit hit and miss. We think it’s worth bearing with them all the same, the ramen is that good.

Red Dragon Ramen (Red Dragon Japanese Ramen), Kuta
This ramen place has a near infinite varieties of ramen on offer and we feel like you could try a different bowl of ramen each day for a month or more at Red Dragon Ramen. Good news! It’s all tasty!

Ramen Dining Kazumi, Ubud
Kazumi Ramen is great as long as you don’t want a heavily spiced ramen as they appear to go easy on the chili for tourists. Which is a shame because sometimes you want your ramen in Bali as fiery as the sun outside.

Mad Ronin, Kerobokan
Mad Ronin does very tasty classic tonkotsu ramen and the broth is thick and tasty. Try some Lychee Tea to go with it, you won’t be disappointed.
