Popular with locals

Ai Ramen is very popular – and rightly so. Ai Ramen has two different branches, so check which one is closer to you – either in Södermalm or close to T-Centralen metro station. The atmosphere and ramen are equally good at both. It can be worth remembering that ramen is a popular lunch choice in Stockholm – so it can be hard to get a table during the lunch hour rush.

One part Stockholm, one part Tokyo

MisshuMasshu is one of Adam Dahlberg & Albin Wessman's successful establishments. Together, they also run Raamen in Skanstull, the summer resort ÖN on Långholmen and the fine dining restaurant Adam/Albin. MisshuMasshu is close to Stureplan, so it can be a good stopping point during a shopping trip or before an evening out on the town. Between MisshuMasshu and its location in the tiny Jarlspassagen mall, you’ll enjoy a delightful mix of the modern and historic sides of Stockholm.

Restaurant packed Rörstrandsgatan now also includes a good Ramen option. In 2018, Rawbata opened with its Japanese charcoal grill and since then the restaurant has been praised to the skies. Very largely thanks to its delicious ramen dishes that are available on both the lunch and evening menus. They don't take bookings at Rawbata so arrive early or late to be sure to get a table.

Sister of MisshuMasshu that is also on our list. Raamen is run by Adam Dahlberg & Albin Wessman and is located inside the Theater in Ringen department store in Skanstull – where there is several restaurants in a food court there. Very good if there's a group of you who can't agree on what cuisine to go for.

Handcrafted noodles

An old favorite among Stockholm's ramen restaurants – but still just as popular. It's very small and you may have to wait in line, so try to avoid rush hour around lunch time. The menu is relatively short but the ingredients are carefully selected and organic wherever possible. Did we also say they make their ramen noodles by hand?

Classic Tonkotsu ramen

An authentic place that serves really good, classic Tonkotsu ramen. Before opening, Take Ramen engaged in solid research in Hong Kong and Kyoto to find the perfect broth. The favorite on the menu is Tonkotsu ramen – a stock that is full of depth and flavor without being too fatty, perfectly al dente noodles, good chashu (pork) that isn’t flabby plus well-balanced toppings. The best seats are at the inviting bar where you can watch the chefs at work.

Generous portions in the Old Town

Stiernan Ramen is close to the busiest parts of the Old Town. It's a small and cozy place but the ramen portions are generous and tasty. You can also sit outside in spring and summer. If you manage to find a table outside, it's a perfect place for people watching.
