Must-Try Ramen in Jakarta 

Hello FlokqApril 8, 2020

Calling Ramen only as a comfort food would certainly be an injustice, considering the complexity yet delicacy its recipe holds for more than a century. This classic, yet elegant Japanese cuisine is now cherished throughout the world and has found its way into thousands of menus in corners of big cities. In Jakarta, there are numerous exceptional restaurants that specialize in cooking and serving steaming bowls of this delightful Japanese delicacy. We visit every corner of the city to try each other and find ourselves our favorite ones. So, here are the must-try Ramen in Jakarta.

1. Marutama Ra-men, Sentral Senayan 1 | Ramen in Jakarta

We heard so many good things about this place, and of course, we obliged. We came to Marutama Ra-men in Sentral Senayan 1 Mall. The place is nicely designed with minimalist Japanese ornament, looking a lot like those Ramen shops lined in the busy Tokyo streets within Jakarta. 

They say trying the original menu is the best way to know the quality of ramen, so we ordered Zenbu ramen with Miso broth. We can immediately tell how much effort they put into making this dish. It is so delicate yet refreshing, with freshly made noodles and topped with juicy pork— outstandingly delicious.

2. Tsurukamedou | Ramen in Jakarta

There is nothing better than a bowl of heartwarming ramen on a cold rainy day in Jakarta. Tsurukamedou Ramen offers not only delicious ramen but also exquisite side dishes at affordable prices. Our all-time favorite is their Grilled Charsiu Tonkotsu Ramen— you definitely wouldn’t want to miss even its last drop. Topped with thin-sliced juicy pork belly, marinated Japanese egg with runny egg yolk, and freshly cut spring onions. Moreover, for only Rp 5000, you can get yourself their famous crispy buta to give a different texture to your soothing bowl of Ramen. It is arguably the most exceptional ramen restaurant in town!

In case you are not a big fan of spicy ramen, don’t worry. You can try their Hokkaido Ramen. It is a bowl of thick freshly made noodles with deep chicken-flavored broth topped with thin slices of chicken— perfect for those who prefer light and classic Ramen. Moreover, the service in Ramen Seirock-ya is fast and friendly, also complemented with their cozy ambiance that is just an ideal place for a ramen experience.

Either way, they have the perfect ramen for your hungry soul. We definitely recommend you to try their Tonkatsu Ramen.

Excellence – One word that describes the whole portion. The Ramen is served with wavy thin noodles, topped with juicy tender pork belly, and freshly chopped spring onion. It is soothing, comforting, and everything you need from a bowl of Ramen. If you are up for a challenge, go with the special spicy miso with ground pork and fragrant garlic oil.
