About this spot
Kanji Ramen brings authentic Japanese broth and noodles to the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighborhood, offering a stark contrast to the area's typical Cape Malay cuisine. You must order the tonkotsu pork ramen or the spicy miso variety while they are still piping hot to experience the rich, comforting flavors properly.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Ask for extra chili oil on the side if you want to kick up the heat on your broth.
- Sit at the counter to watch the chefs prepare fresh noodles and slurp loudly in appreciation.
- Bring cash as smaller ramen shops in Cape Town may not accept contactless payments.
