👍👍 Amazing Ramen spot in Amsterdam! Great location, cozy ambience and fair prices. Literally one of the best ramen I’ve had in years. I got the spicy one with pork. I also recommend ordering the gyozas and the vegetable dumplings. Great places for smaller groups. Service is quick.

    What a find in the middle of Amsterdam. Lovely place. We had 3 ramens, 2 glasses of sweet wine and 1 glass of regular red wine. Each exceptional. Highly recommended. Service exceptional.

    We tried Tan Tan Men classic size ramen and Tebasaki chicken wings. Ramen was spicy and nice, we liked it but not that much. Loved chicken wings 10/10.

    the food was great, we ordered 3 different type of ramen, chicken, pork and vegan. all were good. the ingredients seems fresh and taste was good. the drinks however weren't freshly made but came in a bottle. the only complaint i have is the place is a little too congested, and since the food is good there's almost always crowd on the outside. but oberall I'd recommend this as one of the best ramen places in the Amsterdam.

    Be prepared to queue up and wait for 15 to 30 minutes to get a seat as it’s a small place and it’s always packed My favourite was the egg plant and the chicken wings. The classic Ramen broth was thick and we can taste the strong pork taste. We added the chili oil to bring down the pork taste in the broth. We really enjoyed the food and the service was quick and awesome

    I would definitely recommend this place! It’s such a cozy spot on a beautiful street, the ramen (the tonkotsu especially the miso) had such an umami flavor and was so so delicious, drool-worthy. Our waitress was incredibly kind and I thought the price to quality ratio was amazing, especially for Amsterdam :) Will definitely be coming back, the only comment is the pork was a little chewy, but the portion sizes were big enough it was very filling

    Valuable money. Great location. Once arrive and there is a queue, don’t forget to write your name on the waiting list. Gyoza is crispy and tasty. Ramen soup taste umami but a bit oily for me. Noodle cooked well.

  • 2/5 Mirai K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is mediocre, the chopsticks and cutlery dirty, the ramen with pork was way too oily and hard to eat. Gyozas on the other hand were not bad, but not the best. Service is not very friendly and rude. To be honest it wouldn’t be a place that I would recommend for ramen. Flavours are too far from home.

    We had to wait a few minutes for a table, but the service was really nice and attentive. Best ramen I’ve had in Amsterdam and fair prices! Really good vegan options as well.

    I have had the best ramen in years! The staff are super nice and the place is cozy. We have had to wait in a queue for a few minutes it was totally worth it!

    Potentially the best ramen i’ve eaten. We also had the Gyoza, and the Miso Eggplant. Both were great, the eggplant was a stand out. Their sister udon restaurant across the canal is worth visiting too (with shorter lines).

    Amazing food. The staff worked here is also very friendly. So delicious at the beginning. But maybe the soup base can improve better, I tried to drink the soup.

    Love this Ramen place! Delicious food and the large is really large ! Beautiful location in Amsterdam. Usually very busy, waiting list and queueing up is common. Get there at the opening to make sure you get a spot !

    One of the best ramen in town I had the Tan Tan Men, and let me tell you, if you're looking for proper spiced broth, that's your best bet.

  • 5/5 Fab S. 10 months ago on Google
    We had to wait a few minutes in line to get a seat here, but the food was worth the wait! Delicious ramen and very good vegan-vegetarian versions. The waiters were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Near the center, next to a Gracht but not too busy area.

    Music choice was amazing, they were playing Mitski, Boa, and Faye Webster. The interior decorating and mood was super nice too. Meals came out quickly, they were presented very nicely and tasted absolutely amazing! I had the original vegetarian ramen

    The crispy chicken wing are a must try, the dumplings were delicious too 🥟

  • 4/5 Tan Ya H. 6 months ago on Google
    Ramen is always comfort food on a rainy evening. I would recommend the Tonkatsu ramen in pork broth as that is more authentic. I tried the Tori Lemon Ginger Ramen, good serving but the soup is a little disappointing. Overall worth trying if you crave for a bowl of hot noodles :)

  • 5/5 Sam G. 5 months ago on Google
    We had Ramen here for the first time, asked to seat outside since it has a nice view and staff were really friendly

  • 5/5 Johannes E. 1 year ago on Google
    For me the best Ramen in Amsterdam! Freshly made and also the vegetarian broth tastes really good - rich and comes with many flavours. Staff is very friendly - fast and treat me as a guest with awareness.

    We visited Fou Fow Ramen for lunch as it's been recommended as a safe restaurant for someone who is celiac. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly. There's plenty of gluten-free choices on the menu, and best of all, the food is delicious.

  • 5/5 Ferran G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a place, best noodles I've eaten. They're fresh and handmade. Service is friendly and overall the food is amazing. 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Leanne De S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a quick lunch. I had the spicy ramen which was really tasty. Broth was rich but for me the best part were the texture of the handmade noodles. I really like their edemame as well as it’s not as overcooked as most places usually do it. Their calpis drink was a bit flat but not a big issue. Service was great and helpful for recommendations.

    Came without a booking around 14:00 on a Saturday and found a table straight away even though it was pretty crowded. Tried the miso ramen and gyoza, both good.

  • 5/5 Magdalena Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I know few places with Ramen in Amsterdam this one is on the top of the list. Delicious Ramen, friendly staff, great green tea. I will become frequent guest I am sure !

  • 4/5 Patrick J. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a sudden urge for ramen and this restaurant delivered on that! The ramen was lovely and tasty, only minus point that is to find in this broth is the missing flavor of salt. But other then that it eyed friendly and the staff was nice.

  • 5/5 cjay 1 year ago on Google
    You have to be lucky to find an empty seat at this ramen place, it is beloved my many! Including me. They have a great variety of noodle bowls on the menu making it easy to dine at with friends.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazingly delicious ramen dishes prepared freshly and wow! The dumplings were to die for and we came back again a second time to relive the dream. If you enjoy Sino Japanese cuisine, Fou Fow Ramen is the place to eat.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
