If you’re craving more than just ramen, check out our guides to Warsaw’s best Japanese restaurants and top Chinese spots for the full Asian dining experience.

1. SHOYU Ramen & Sushi

SHOYU Ramen & Sushi is a true star of authentic Japanese cuisine in Warsaw. Their signature Shoyu ramen features light chicken broth with lobster and porcini oils.

The Tantanmen offers rich pork bone broth with spiced ground pork and cheese, while vegetarians can enjoy the Vege Tantanmen with dashi broth and plant-based meat. Their heartiest option, the Tonkotsu Shoyu, combines pork bone broth with garlic oils. A kids’ portion is also available (noodles with any broth).

2. Uki Green

Uki Green offers a fresh take on ramen in Warsaw with bowls that you can customize to your taste. Their star dish is the Vege Paitan Ramen – a rich, creamy broth with garlic and green onion oil, topped with seasonal veggies.

You can choose from four unique topping styles: Kuro (black sesame and garlic sauce), Aka (tomato-based), Midori (lemongrass and coriander), or Daidai (spicy plant-based meat and nuts).

They also serve classic options like Tokyo Next Shoyu with special soy sauce and Ginger Shio Ramen, both featuring clear broth, seasonal vegetables, and a finish of pepper oil and panelle.

3. Arigator Ramen Shop

Arigator Ramen blends Japanese and Polish flavors, featuring a playful noodle-dragon logo. They serve seven ramen varieties, from the classic Shoyu with tender pork and marinated egg to a spicy Tantanmen. There are also some creative options like vegan Tantanmen and BBQ Ramen.

Sides include house kimchi and edamame, with Japanese beer and yuzu lemonade to drink. Try the Korokke – Japanese croquettes that capture the restaurant’s fusion style.

4. UKI UKI

While specializing in udon, UKI UKI offers three tonkotsu ramen options. The Original features a creamy pork-chicken broth with roasted pork, marinated egg, bamboo shoots, mizuna, chili paste, green onions, and nori.

The portions are generous – plenty of noodles, meat, and a whole egg in every bowl. You won’t leave hungry!

The Miso adds miso paste and salmon to the base, while the spicy Tantan includes minced meat in soy-chili sauce, black sesame, and burnt garlic oil. All bowls come with marinated egg and fresh mizuna.

5. SHOKU

SHOKU’s tight menu features just three ramen varieties, but each carefully crafted. Their Tantan Ramen combines beef-chicken broth with sesame paste and peanut butter, topped with ground beef and earl grey-pickled onions.

The Shoyu Ramen offers a clean beef-chicken broth with tender chicken and nameko mushrooms. Their vegetarian Miso Ramen shines with burnt garlic oil, smoked yuba, and creative toppings like caper popcorn and spiced peanuts.

6. Noodlani

Noodlani stands out among Warsaw’s ramen shops with authentic Chinese noodles at surprisingly low prices.

The small space captures the essence of a Beijing noodle house – steaming pots and all. Their standout Beijing-style ramen comes dry with broth on the side, and they offer 17 varieties, including an unexpectedly good peanut butter version.

While ordering requires filling out a form and paying first, it’s a small trade-off for quality ramen under 50zł.

While Warsaw might not be the first city that comes to mind when thinking of ramen, these spots prove that good Japanese soul food can be found far from Tokyo. Remember to check their websites for seasonal specials and occasional pop-ups of new bowls.
