    This place has THE BEST RAMEN and is undoubtedly a gem for all ramen enthusiasts! The first thing you'll notice about Ramen Kingdom is that it's always bustling with customers. So, if you're planning to dine here, make sure to make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, you might find yourself waiting for a while, and let me tell you, the wait is more than worth it. I took my boyfriend along, and it's safe to say that this place has made its way into his top 3 favorite restaurants, and that's saying a lot. We opted for the spicy pork ramen, and oh my, the flavor explosion is unforgettable. The broth was so rich and had the perfect level of spiciness. The chasu pork was charred and smoky, it was hands down the best we've ever had. I can literally eat this everyday, if given the chance. The service was great. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They also provide you with an apron to ensure that your ramen adventure doesn't end up wearing a stain. When it comes to the price, it's quite reasonable considering the portion size and, most importantly, the unparalleled taste. You would know if you visit this place! It's clear why this place has received such raving reviews. So, if you're planning to visit Amsterdam, do yourself a favor and make sure Ramen Kingdom is on your list of places to experience. :)

    Great little place to have very good Ramen in Amsterdam! The place is quite small, and all the seats are separated for a single person to eat. It’s perfect for a quick bite through the day. The price is a bit expensive though, but definitely worth checking out

    Wandered in after seeing the amazing reviews, and this place definitely didn't disappoint! My boyfriend and I queued outside in the cold for slightly over 1 hour when we went in April. The queue was so long it turned several heads. When we got to the front of the line, we ordered and service was relatively fast. Food was slightly pricey, but well worth it. Staff members were friendly too! They offer 1 free side per bowl and one of the options is extra noodles (but not extra soup). The broth was so flavourful, everything was really well cooked. They torched the pork slices so those were tender and smoky. I've been to Japan and this is still the best ramen I've ever had. Still thinking about it months later - it made a wonderful memory for us :-)

    What you expect: - Friendly and professional service. - Rich flavour. Highly recommend to take the soy soup and add grilled pork. - Center location What do not expect: - If you do not have time to queue for at least 1 hour then skip it. I waited 1hour and 10mins under the cold of 10 degree with another 20 people and it’s fine but if it rains then I will skip. - Big portion. - Michelin dish. It’s great but just do not expect something exploding. - Fancy and spacious place. It’s a small and cozy place and I like it but if you are a group of 5 or 10 maybe you cannot sit together. - Cheap. Nothing is cheap in Amsterdam but this is a bit pricey with such portion. Overall it’s a good experience that worths a try.

    Incredibly delicious food, best in Amsterdam in my opinion. Easy to reach from the main station and also very easy to spot because of the giant Mario statue behind the window. Incredible staff, always cheerful. Food has a lot of options and the time used for preparation is fast. It's also really nice to see the cooks working from your seating position, which makes this restaurant more personal instead of the big brand restaurants who put you somewhere in a corner. I would definitely come here again, as this place has risen to my number one favorite place to eat in Amsterdam.

    I got myself a spicy pork ramen with an extra egg and roasted pork for €20. It was so good! The broth was super rich and that roasted pork had this awesome smoky and yummy flavor. The portion was generous. The restaurant was pretty adorable, decorated with various japanese character. The only downside was just the crazy long queue, for like 1-1.5h.

    We liked the Ramen very much! We tried both the BASIC pork and BASIC chicken. The chicken was good, but the pork was amazing. Strongly recommend. You should plan your visit considering the days that the restaurant is open - only Friday to Sunday. Also, there might be some waiting time before you can get in. We ordered and then waited outside for about 20 min or so. Totally worth it.

    Everything is a 10. The place, the staff, the food... The broth in the vegetarian ramen is superb. There is always a queue outside but their system works so it flows pretty quickly. I would love to come back next time I am in Amsterdam.

    It is nice and tasty food, but if you don't have a ramen addiction, it's not worth the wait. We waited a total of 1 hour to stand in line, order, go back outside to wait to be seated and get seated. It feels more like a eating factory because you feel very rushed to leave again. You can't order anything else then ramen(no side dishes, not desert). To be honoust, the DJ is not necessary at all. Just put some nice japanese and/or relaxing music. The techno doesn't fit with the style of the restaurant and it bothered me quite a lot while it was not loud.

    I grew up eating Asian food and loving Asian food my entire life, this is no doubt the top three and if not, the best ramen I EVER had. Every component of this dish with my chosen toppings: pork and chicken matched perfectly. The broth was amazing the portion is just right for a snack. If you’d like a full on dining experience, I’d highly recommend swapping a topping for extra noodles. The restaurant gives me a very traditional Japanese and in general Asian vibes starting from waiting in line to get seated, eating in booths, and even the style of service. The waiting time may be different depending on how busy the restaurant is, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Highly recommend people to try, and I have just became a regular in this restaurant.

    Best ramen in Amsterdam hands down. Friendly and fun staff. Worth the wait. Get the extra noodle option. EDIT: Went a second time, waited 1h+ in line and it was still worth it. Had the spicy pork this time, and I preferred what I had the first time — chicken both with extra noodle and extra roast pork (you get two free options). The broth was creamier and there wasn’t spice overpowering the other flavours.

    Traditional Japanese restaurant. 🍜 The menu is small but you can enjoy delicious ramen. The place is also small and usually crowded, but you don't have to wait long to eat. 📝 The service was friendly and fast. 💰 Good value for money. The only bad thing is that they didn't have any beer to drink but they offer free water.

    Did not disappoint. The setting (individual cubicles and ordering through a machine) reminded me of Ichiran in Japan. The broth was on point, the noodle had a great texture, flavourful charsiu and the soft-boiled eggs were made beautifully. The place itself is not big, so expect long waiting time during dinner time on the weekends.

    Amazing food, definitely worth waiting for. Great service, the only negative is that the order software has some bugs/limitations. Being allowed to order more than 2 toppings would be great, because they are so damn delicious! The roasted pork topping is highly recommended!

    Been here twice when visiting Amsterdam, loved it both times. Just be prepared to wait in line, if you get there far before they open you can be pretty close to the front but if you go at open or after they open you will be waiting. The atmosphere is so cute in there, feels like very authentic ramen. The staff are all so very kind. I find their drink choices a little lacking but the green tea is nice. TikTok brought us here initially and thankfully taught us the nice little trick to order extra noodles - just eat your first bowl and leave as much of the broth as you can, then if you order the extra noodles you get a noodle card and get a whole new helping! It’s so goood! Also good price for how full you get when you leave!

    Oh, so amazing! Best ramen I’ve had in Europe, so authentic! Queue for an hour was definitely worth it. I’d travel back to Amsterdam just for that… and the staff are incredibly sweet!

    One of the best ramen in the Netherlands. For the execution and the full Japanese experience they deserve 5 star rating. From the staff speaking japanese, the ordering system, the decorations, to the music, everything adds to the experience. Sadly the other points are not so positive. Very limited opening days and times. Which creates extremely long lines on days they are open. Average of 30 min waiting is acceptable, sadly its almost always longer, it can even go up to 1,5 hour. Then there is the price, its €20 per bowl now. Although its really good, is very high.

    Absolutely incredible!!! I’ve never really enjoyed Raman before this, and the 90 minute wait out the front was deeply off-putting, but once you’re inside—brilliant. The staff are incredibly friendly and hospitable, the space is clean and professional… and the food. It was great. Double spicy pork, and I was sad when the bowl was empty. That said, I was very full. Great job guys. The wait was worth it.

    Wow wow wow!!! Absolutely the best Ramen I’ve ever had! When you get in to the restaurant you need to place your order right away using an electrical machine, then you get a ticket to wait in line and only the. You will be seated and served. There is only ramen’s in the menu, but it is absolutely amazing, the flavors are strong and authentic, really worth the experience!

    I absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere, kind and happy personnel, best ramen I've ever tasted. Only downside is that you will probably have to wait in the line for half an hour or even more because the place is kinda small considering how popular it is and it gets full instantly. Nonetheless, it was worth the wait in the cold as the whole experience was top notch!

    Really appreciated the chefs and staff wearing masks and plastic hand gloves properly! I haven’t seen many restaurants doing this especially during such pandemic time. Very polite and speedy service, food is also good, really like the pork!

    Advice if you are going - If you have a small stomach, don’t get the extra noodles. Everyone else, go for it! - If you really like spicy food, go ahead with the extra spicy. The spicy one is not that spicy. My boyfriend has selfish allergy and everything went fine! Should be fine for you if you don’t have a very big allergy (All options have a selfish warning) They don’t sell drinks besides 2 options of tea (hot). But they do offer cold water for free! My personal opinion: I got chicken as extra and didn’t like the taste of it. Thought it tasted quite fake. I would recommend to get extra pork or even the egg that was super tasty. Line took 1 hour on Sunday 19h30. But it was worth it :) (and we stayed past 21h inside eating) And yeah, the broth is amazing. That’s what makes these noodles so nice! The staff is super nice and friendly, all of them :) Have fun!!

    When we walked on here we were transported to Japan! Very simple menu featuring 6 types of ramen. Ramen was excellent - we has the classic pork and spicy pork with the classic pork being the favorite. The broth alone was so tasty, not salty and just overall delicious. Highly recommend!

    Of all ramen joints in Amsterdam I keep coming back to this one. Its so simple, yet so good.... Get an extra serving of noodles to make it really worthwhile 😁 Its pretty busy so if you want to eat in there is a chance you might need to wait. Otherwise you can take it away as well.

    The best ramen I've ever had. From the outside this place is easy to miss, but if you're one for Ramen, you won't want to skip it. Whilst the price can seem a little high, it was well worth it for the atmosphere and food.

    Holy moly. This is by far the best ramen that has ever graced my tongue. The broth was so flavorful and uniquely created. The toppings were to die for and I enjoyed my experience so much, I would fly across the world just to enjoy this meal one more time. Thank you for the wonderful expirence!

    Highly recommended! The broth is smooth, creamy, not greasy or heavy. The pork has a sweetness which is rarely found at other ramen places. Be prepared for a queue. You can order 2 extra toppings included in the main price. Extra noodles and tea are also considered extra toppings. The atmosphere is energizing. as in Japan, once you’ve finish the food you are expected to give your place to the next in line

    One of the best ramen I’ve ever had. Roasted pork and seasoned eggs were amazing. I couldn’t get enough of the soup. Portion is just perfect. Staff were super nice and friendly. I absolutely love this place and will definitely come back!

  • 3/5 Emilio F. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant with good atmosphere. Ramen was good ( not as hot in temperature as i would expected. my friend like it like this). the soup taste was good however the noodles were not to what i am used too. the portion is a bit small compare to other ramen's so i did not feel full. my friend said the portion was fine for her. service was good n staff friendly. you have to wait quiet a lot of time as there is a big queue of people all the time as it is in the city center. overall good place although taking into account the portion side and price is a bit on the expensive side.

    I hadn’t eaten all day and it was 4:30 in the afternoon. I walked up to the door past the line (which I didn’t even notice existed due to my lack of nourishment) and noticed it said “closed.” I started to walk away beginning to figure out my next move when I noticed the fairly lengthy line apart from the building. I decided that waiting was the right move, regardless of how starving I was (restaurant lines typically indicate quality food). After about 20 minutes it was my turn to order. With a little help from the waiter, I landed on spicy chicken ramen. For the two food options that were included in the price of the food, I chose extra chicken and extra noodles (a must). I had to wait outside for another 5-7 minutes holding a poke ball until a seat opened up. Unlike your wait for my description of the food, this wait was WELLLLLL worth it. It was perfect. Not too spicy. Everything cooked to perfection. Gorgeous colors and beautiful presentation. And the staff was so extremely friendly. I even got to have a nice little conversation with a local about government and the current state of affairs of The Netherlands and America. Moral of the story: if you see a line, you should wait in it.

    Eegs is very delicious. Noodles texture is good, that is using the chicken soup to make it. The soup is so delicious too. 😋😋 I don't feel thirsty after eating👍🏻👍🏻. The cost was 20 euros and the portion just middle size. Services is good. 👍🏻 The Shop open at 4pm-9pm Suggest to queue at 3:30pm
