Best Raman in Mexico City

Mexico City’s ramen scene has exploded in recent years, offering everything from traditional bowls to more creative, fusion-inspired options. If you’re on the hunt for a cozy, flavorful meal, these spots should be at the top of your list.

Mog Bistro

Everything is great at Mog Bistro but the butter ramen and the Tom Yam ramen are definitely two of the standouts. This spot has much more than just ramen and serves an array of Asian cuisine, including Thai and Vietnamese dishes, as well as some really great sushi.

Located on the always lively Av. Tamaulipas, Yamasan Ramen House offers a versatile menu with something for every type of ramen lover, including chicken, pork, beef sausage, and vegetarian options. The best part about this spot is that it gives you the ability to customize your ramen from a selection of over 20 different ingredients, ensuring every bowl is tailored to your taste.

Arrive hungry, because the portions at Yamasan are quite generous and you’ll probably want to save room for some of their delicious gyoza or a cold Asahi beer. Vegetarians will enjoy this spot as they have some of the best vegetarian ramen in CDMX. If you’re in the mood for dessert Yamasan also has a few tasty options including a really satisfying mango flavored ice cream.

Koku

Koku boasts two locations in Mexico City, one in Condesa and another on Rio Lerma in Cuauhtémoc, conveniently located next door to Balboa Pizza. Both of the locations have beautiful interiors with lots of red lighting, lanterns, and stylish decor, giving a very fun and authentic vibe.  

Koku has a wide ranging menu featuring 3 different types of raman, with the delicious curry coconut ramen standing out above the rest. For those looking for something different, Koku serves fusion dishes such as tuna tacos and also has excellent sushi. The gyoza here is quite nice and I would also recommend trying the tuna bbq don if that's something that suits your palate.

Rokai Ramen-Ya has really big portions and serves standout ramen flavors lamb and rokai miso, which are both highly recommended.
