Ramen in Madrid
Your Madrid passport
Tap Been there on the spots you’ve been to.See passport →
Madrid's ramen scene is more varied than it looks. In the Centro, neighborhood ramen-yas share the streets with a Lanzhou-style lamian house that pulls its noodles to order; Chamberí holds small Japanese-owned counters; Salamanca and Tetuán fill in the map. We read hundreds of reviews and kept the 10 worth the trip, from tonkotsu to shio. No order of preference: start with the neighborhood you are already in.

I've had ramen in Singapore, Taiwan and Japan, and the tonkatsu here easily makes my list of favorites.

I doubt there's a tastier miso ramen anywhere in Madrid.

The broth builds flavor with every bite, and you can tell the noodles were pulled by hand right there.

When the ramen craving hits, this is where I come — the flavor beats every other Kagura I've tried in Madrid.

The tonkotsu here has rare depth: intense and creamy without weighing you down, with a well-measured shoyu backbone.
Ramen Kotsu x Kotsu

Best ramen I've had in Europe so far — the pork belly melted and the broth nailed the balance of salt, umami and acidity.

I've tried ramen at plenty of places and this one still stands out the most.
Ran Ran Tei
A self-service ramen-ya with a strong Japanese fast-food identity. One Japanese customer vouched for the house's authenticity, and the only real criticism is an isolated report of a microwave-reheated dish.

To me this is the closest thing to eating ramen in Japan that you'll find in Madrid.

The broth has that homemade umami depth, with juicy smoked chicken and a perfectly cooked egg — nothing to complain about.
Xihuramen
A popular spot with an Asian-market aesthetic and high turnover. The few criticisms that surface are minor, like delays even with a reservation.

Every dish that came out was clearly made with care, and the ramen in particular surprised me with its flavor.
