Ramen in Belo Horizonte
Your Belo Horizonte passport

Belo Horizonte is a city of corner bars and Minas Gerais cooking, and ramen is still a small scene here. We read hundreds of reviews and only 3 houses made it, across Lourdes, Funcionários and Barroca: from a busy artisan spot that makes its own broth and noodles to a kitchen that lives on delivery and gets the bowl to you still hot. Few of them, no scores and no order of preference, which is exactly why each one is worth knowing.
Engenheiros Lámens
A small spot (also associated with the name Kaneko/Koneko) that divides opinion. Some customers praise the deep broth and fresh ingredients, while others report missing ingredients, overcooked noodles and, on delivery, the broth arriving separately or missing altogether.
Uneven operations reported by some customers — missing ingredients or the chosen protein, and delivery orders arriving without the broth.

Selected, well-prepared ingredients — a delight, and a generous amount.
Koneko Lámens
Operates mainly by delivery (99/iFood), with careful packaging and food arriving hot. It offers several broths and toppings for different tastes, though some orders have had delays or missing items.

The best lamen in BH — super flavorful, the ingredients spot on, and everything packed with real care.
Peko Peko Ramen
An artisanal, very popular spot that opens at 6pm and makes its broth and noodles in house, with much-praised starters (glazed pork belly, gyoza). Service and waiting times divide opinion, and a minority find the ramen close to instant noodles.
Long lines and waits at peak times — the spot opens at 6pm, has limited space and the ramen can run out; arriving early is recommended.

We had the Missô Tostado, Shio Tostado and Shoyu Chashu — the Shoyu Chashu was the tastiest of the three.
A selection, not a ranking. We read thousands of reviews with a little help from AI and keep only the houses worth the trip.
