Oodles of Noodles

Loved that most of the menu could be made into a vegan version. It's a small limited menu in general. The food was super tasty and really filling. Would definitely recommend. And the playlist was fantastic (albeit a little loud for grandma)

Pros: Exquisite food , Dog friendly , Great playlist

Cons: Music a little loud

Amazing food, long wait for food definitely worth a visit though

Best ramen I've ever eaten, we will definitely be back. The wait for our food was a little much though - being told to vacate the table after 90 minutes and the food taking 60 minutes to come. However what was delivered was worth a wait, just maybe not that long

Pros: Amazing ramen

Cons: very long wait for food

Forever changed!

Matsuda Ramen

A name that became famous during the pandemic for their ramen meal kits and pop ups in South Wales, now has a lovely restaurant on Clare Road in Cardiff.

The place was BUSTLING and we were lucky to get a seat having shown up on a whim.

We had kaarage mushrooms and miso tare kimchi to start and my goodness, what a warm up!? I'd never heard of sunset powder until I came here and I'm thinking of asking him to marry me tbh. 😂💁🏻‍♂️

The ramen dishes had what can only be described as developing broths. The flavour intensified the longer it took to eat. For me that meant a greater heat and for my partner a deeper umami.

I can't say I'll ever eat Wagamama ramen again. I am forever changed.

Pros: Good vegan options , Incredible flavours, Friendly staff

Cons: No parking nearby

Great ramen and service

I’m assuming this is a little more authentic than the well known chain but then I’ve never been to Japan 😀 Ramen was delicious as was the karaage mushroom. Our servers knew their stuff. I forgot to take photos but I’ll be back to do that next time. Recommend.

Pros: Authentic ramen, Knowledgeable staff, Fair pricing

Yummy Ramen

Insanely tasty ramen - some of the best. Menu is fairly limited on vegan options but is small in general. They offer ramen with and without broth, but the vegan broth is really something special. Very reasonably priced for the quality! (An uncle roger approved ramen)

Cannot Fault

I've been here twice and both times the food was amazing. On this visit we had the sunset red tonkotsu, regular tonkotsu and mushroom karaage. Would have again and again.

Incredible Ramen!

Absolutely love this place. The menu is small, but the food is freshly prepared and delicious. My partner had the spicy ramen, and I had the regular one. We also had the mushrooms. All of the food was amazing and I can't wait to come back! They also have lovely drinks and the nicest staff!

Pros: Incredible food , Good atmosphere , Lovely Staff

Cool spot

Wanted to visit here after seeing it on a few YouTube videos. It has a very chill atmosphere and I love the merchandise they have for sale. The tofu was meaty and the noodles were chewy, which was ace. The broth was a bit mushroomy for my liking but because I got the sunset red ramen, it was masked more. At the minute there’s only 2 ramen options (tonkotsu or the sunset red tonkotsu), hope there’s more choice on the new menu though!
