Peko Peko Ramen
Shio. Casual and cozy, always full, in Barroca · 1,229 reviews on Google
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.
Broth and noodles made from scratch in house, with tasty ramens that many customers call the best in BH.

We had the Missô Tostado, Shio Tostado and Shoyu Chashu — the Shoyu Chashu was the tastiest of the three.

The barriga melada starter and the Shio Tostado are spectacular.

The ramen is very generously served, and on Saturdays there's the best one, the Tonkotsu.
-
Don't miss the gyoza — it simply melts in your mouth.

The seafood ramen was impeccable, flavorful and light, and the octopus and mushroom gyoza starters were sensational.

The starters are the real highlight — the pork belly was impeccable, the breaded chicken perfect and the kimchi very tasty.

I love Peko Peko's lamen, especially the vegan tonkotsu they always have on Valentine's Day, and the vegan gyoza is excellent.
Before you go
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.
