Rāman restaurants in Kyoto

  1. A

    Karako

    This is our favourite rāmen restaurant in Kyoto. While it's not much on atmosphere, Karako has excellent rāmen – the soup is thick and rich and the chāshū (pork slices) melt in your mouth. We recommend the kotteri (thick soup) rāmen. Look for the red lantern outside.

  2. Rāmen Kairikiya

    Not far from the Sanjō-Kawaramachi intersection, this popular rāmen specialist welcomes foreigners with friendly staff. It's got several types of rāmen to choose from and tasty sets that include things like fried rice, fried chicken or gyōza, all for about ¥800. It's pretty easy to spot: look for the red and white sign and the words 'There is an English menu.'

  3. B

    Ippūdō

    There's a reason that there's usually a line outside this rāmen joint at lunchtime: the rāmen is awesome and the bite-sized gyōza (Chinese dumplings) are to die for. We recommend the gyōza set meal, which costs ¥750 or ¥850, depending on your choice of rāmen. It's on Nishiki-dōri, next to a post office and diagonally across from a Starbucks. There's a big English sign.
