About this spot
Ramenhead delivers authentic Japanese broth and noodles in the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighborhood, offering a stark but delicious contrast to Cape Town's typical seafood fare. The rich tonkotsu pork broth is simmered for hours to achieve a creamy texture that perfectly coats their thick chashu pork belly. This spot proves you don't need to travel to Tokyo to find a bowl of comfort that rivals the city's best.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the extra egg if you want to upgrade your ramen from standard to deluxe before it gets cold.
- Ask for chopsticks on the side if you prefer to eat with a spoon, which is common in South Africa.
- The pork belly chashu is served warm and melts into the broth, so don't skip the extra meat option.
