Maki & Ramen in Glasgow City

Antes de salir de Escocia, probamos la comida japonesa para variar y terminamos en el bullicioso restaurante. Pedimos una selección de aguacate salmón, cangrejo de cáscara suave y rollos de California acompañados de Maki Biru! Una buena cena en general.

Preciosa comida y personal aún mejor! Soy un asiduo a este Maki y Ramen y no solo es la comida excepcional, sino también la experiencia (ideal para reuniones de negocios, con amigos e incluso solo!). Scott es fabuloso, da un servicio tan maravilloso y atento cada vez. Realmente ilumina la habitación y hace que mi visita sea extra especial cada vez. ¡No puedo recomendar lo suficiente!

The best tonkotsu we had in Glasgow.

Great place if you are looking for great food and beautiful ambience.

Really tasty and super fast service with friendly staff, the place was clean and the decor was great! Definitely will be back! ✨

Honestly best ramen ive ever had.

Good central location, very reasonably priced. Ramen was just ok. The Takoyaki was quite good. Service and atmosphere ok. Tried their Choya Umeshu, did not meet expectations.

Needed a quick dinner before the theatre, takes walk ins. Fast service and friendly staff, food tasty. Can never say no to some takoyaki! Yum!

Food taste great. Slightly lack of sauce which I suspect was due to it being a takeaway. Most importantly, the bag that comes with it is stunningly beautiful

I never thought I would get great Ramen in Glasgow - how times change.

Visited for lunch and upon entering the restaurant, a server quickly placed the 'Please wait to be seated' sign and didn't say anything else. We were seated as soon as we asked. Ordered their: Prawn Tempura and Takoyaki for our starters. Black Garlic TonKatsu and Chicken ramen for our mains. Everything came at the same time, apart from the Takoyaki (batter was still wet & mushy, wasn't enjoyable). Ordered a coke zero & was given a diet coke without any notice that they don't serve coke zero? Overall, there was a quick turnaround for this establishment. The staff does not pay much attention; guessing this has to do with the already added 10% service charge so staff/servers don't put any effort. Thought this branch might be better than the one across the road, but both very similar re. The quality of the food and the service. The food is nice but the service is really off putting, wouldn't rush to visit as there are a few Japanese restaurants in Glasgow that put effort into providing a service to visiting patrons, without an automatic service charge.

Staff were very nice and food always good.

The food was quite good, but the environment felt a bit crowded. They charged a service fee, yet there wasn’t really any noticeable service provided.

Really nice ramen and sushi with lots of vegan options.

The food was so nice raven was perfect spice i highly recommend

Super welcoming, fun decor with post-its from other diners. Amazing vegan selection, two full pages in the menu- one for ramen and one for sushi, with 5-7 options each. I had the black garlic tonkotsu, which had vegan bacon in, and the crispy pumpkin sushi, and the chicken katsu sushi. All were delicious

La comida aquí es siempre increíble. El ramen de tonkotsu de ajo negro es imprescindible. El servicio deja algo que desear. El personal no estaba limpiando la mesa de productos terminados y botellas vacías antes de traer nuevos artículos. También se olvidaron de un artículo pedido y tuvimos que pedirlo dos veces.

A much needed treat to come for lunch today and a delight as always. The team are so friendly and helpful and the Ramen is the best soul food on earth. Clam nigiri as a side and matcha crème brûlée for dessert a great finisher. Actually amazed i didnt take any pics of this feast but i was too lost in the sensations and the busy atmosphere.

I expected it better, after seeing lines at different establishments of this chain I expected a more elaborate ramen with more flavor. The service was very good and fast but the ramen lacked a little life

My first and last time going to this place , the staff were not professional at all , didn’t gave us space to have a proper dinner they were looking at our table none stop to clear it and get us the bill to leave even though the other side was full ! We were not there for an hour and the waitress came asking if we want the bill mentioning that i didnt finish my drink. Unfortunately we did not want to leave service charge so my friend paid her part and mine had extra 5£ which was the service fee i did not want to pay and did not ask to and unfortunately did not notice the extra until i left because i was not comfortable staying anymore i just wanted to leave and BTW my chicken was not cooked well . I would never recommend and step in ever again .

great food and great service from our server Corina, food came out really fast which was ideal as we were starving! vegetarian options were fab

I've eaten at this restaurant in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. The pasta is of good quality, but the sushi is just not that good.

Very tasty rolls!!!! The ramen is also cool. The service is average (((unfortunately. There was a very small table (for two) even though we were three adults. They didn’t offer water. They didn’t ask if they liked everything. But the rolls are delicious. I will definitely come again for them!! The establishment looks clean.

Love this place so much, food is always phenomenal and staff very helpful and friendly

The best ramen in town! Situated at the heart of Glasgow in a small lovely shop. Super tasty broth and chewy ramen, absolute delicacy! Quick service. I will be fasting to eat here in the afternoon, since the portion is a bit overwhelming for me 🥴 But, in the end, I managed to devour it all. Definitely my favourite place to take family for a culinary tour!

One of the best Ramen if not the best in town. Lovely, lively honest people here. Loved it. Beef tataki was awesome. They have many other halal options too.

Ordered steak tataki, didn't take long at all for the food to arrive but when It did the stake was cold, it was quite clearly pre cooked and was never reheated when it was added to the meal, ended up getting a very upset stomach that's been killing me for the past 2 days. Didn't bring up the cold stake to the servers as I didn't want to make a scene and was hungry as that was my only meal for the day so I just ate it. Fair to say i regret it considering for the price there's no excuse to serve cold food.

Love this place, 5 stars all around, food if amazing!! Recommend this place to everyone

Absolute taste sensation, love the quality of the food.

Amazing ramen. Treated my little sister, she really enjoyed it. Great service and attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere. The staff even packed the left overs for my little sister to take home which she was ecstatic about. A really good place for lunch.

It's our second visit to Maki & Ramen (previous one in Manchester). The food was as tasty, shows that they have standards across their outlets. On top of that, we redeemed my birthday reward and claimed a free ramen! Free and delicious meal!

Black garlic ramen and spicy tuna rolls are really delicious, recommend!

Went there for dinner, and ordered the Tonkatsu. The bowl looked very big but that is a visual illusion. The broth was ridiculously over salted, and left me very thirsty after I had finished my meal. Im not sure if they MSG or not, but my personal experience is that only loads of MSG makes you as thirsty as I was then. Not sure if the broth is really “authentic” as they claim. I found it nice at first but the broth was so rich and cloying that I felt sick of eating it halfway and didn’t finish my food. The prices are not the cheapest at well. Nevertheless, service was decent and the atmosphere was OK.

Absolutely amazing, both service and food. Would thoroughly recommend.

Having lived in Japan, I can confirm – this is THE tastiest halal spicy chicken ramen in the UK! 🇬🇧 And the staff? Absolute sweethearts! My kids loved them ❤️

I had the 'hell ramen' which compared to other competitors near by I would not say it earns the name 'hell'. My partner had the chicken yakisoba which he says was oily. When ordering our waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for tap water that plus the 10% gratuity makes the overall experience not live up to what I had heard about the place. It feels like a fast food experience with restaurant prices.

Oh my goodness this place is incredible. We ended up at the smaller location around the corner, cause the other was closing for their lunch break, but I imagine the other is just as good. I've had some good ramen, all over the US, but this contends and takes the cake. I'm gonna be thinking of it for years to come, or at least until I can get back to Glasgow. YUM!!

Seems to be a place on everyone's recommended list. My pal and I by three separate sources were told to attend maki and ramen. What a place! Sushi was absolutely divine. I wish I was able to try it all but you can't let gluttony win everyday. 1 chicken yakisoba 1 chashu yakisoba 1 black dragon roll 1 salmon teriyaki roll 1 macha brownie 1 banana fritters The yakisobas were stunning and it was a great way to end our evening before hopping on a midnight train going anywhere. We were slightly lost when it came to desserts the vanilla ice cream seemed very weak and watered down and the macha brownie was far too dry. They also let us store our rather large bags while we had our meal which was very accommodating of them and allowed us to relax and not clog up the floor space. Love their post it note wall some very funny and artsy people. A super well located spot right near the huge shopping centre. Would add to our recommendation list for people heading to Glasgow looking for a place to eat. I tip my hat to you maki & ramen!

Hell Ramen isn't as spicy as it sounds, really good ramen but not so great chicken teriyakis. They do have a really good mochi though!

We were dining rather late after a late evening graduation ceremony, roughly 9pm when we got in. Even at this time of evening we were greeted with a warm welcome and the quality of the food was exceptional! Thoroughly enjoyed and will certainly be back

Nice noodle , seem to go to japan

Visiting Glasgow in the cold winter and visiting Maki & Ramen for a hot ramen was the best decision we had! Everything was superb and delicious. Black garlic was also yummy. Highly recommended!!

Food was lovely however the guy serving didn't seem to like his job at all. The other Maki and Ramen is definitely better. They weren’t very accommodating to my allergy and refused to change the sushi rolls slightly despite the fact that the other maki and ramen has always been happy to accommodate. Definitely won’t be coming to this one again. I think you should consider training your staff with common decency and better attitude while serving customers.

Great kimchee, lovely ramen& pumpkin croquets and wasn't left hungry

The atmosphere when you walk in is very welcoming and fun. I have been to Japan many times, and was blown away by the ramen here. Everything was amazing and exactly what I was looking for. This place has my highest recommendation for good food, and nice staff! Would come back anytime.

The food left something to be desired, in addition to the service not being correct, they didn't ask questions such as "Do you need anything?" "Is the food good?" I asked for the bill and it was handed to me arrogantly, and it took them a long time to bring the machine to pay with an ATM card. I think they should pay attention to the needs of their customers and be careful about how they approach them.

I’ve read quite a few good reviews about this restaurant so maybe my expectations were too high. The food was alright but nothing special, however the worst thing for me was the service. Never was I asked if the food was okay (specially when my sister left quite a bit of food on the plate), wasn’t offered the dessert menu when they took the plates, and when I asked for the bill the waitress just left the receipt with us and walked away. Could’ve done with better service, specially when the 10% are mandatory. What a shame, maybe I was unlucky.

I've been to other Maki and Ramen branches before but this is the first time where the server is kind to spilt the bill and the service charge for us. Great food and big portions, and quite a large range of food selection as well.

We ate at a ramen restaurant the previous night in Edinburgh that was so bland and tasteless we didn't finish the meal. We had to give Scotland a chance to redeem itself for ramen and sushi. Maki & Ramen was a great choice. The ramen is flavorful and rich. My wife got a yakisobe with fried chicken... the chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked. Great dinner, would highly recommend!

the best ramen so far in The UK

I feel it tastes better than Ajisen Ramen, and I don’t recommend the takoyaki.

Great sushi, gorgeous plum wine!

We ate seafood ramen and chicken noodles, although the seafood was scarce, it still tasted good. To be frank, the price was a bit high. We paid 42 pounds in total for 2 people, which seemed a bit expensive.

Best ramen I had. I ordered the seafood Hell ramen. It came with salmon. I indeed enjoyed my dish. The restaurant is quite popular so service can be improved! The price is reasonable. Food is sumptuous! Try it when you’re in Buchanan St, Scotland!😋

We had a ramen today and was very good! I especially enjoyed the broth 🥰

The food was amazing, but the service was so poor. We were waiting 45 mins for a table and they said we would get free drinks for the wait. They didn't mention that this does not apply for non-alcoholic drinks though. Then there was an extra 45 min wait for the bill at the end. And the toilets are awful, set off from the main area and mixed gender which is not safe for women.

Me encanta Maki y Ramen por lo general, pero esta rama es muy decepcionante. La comida era mediocre y los precios del menú han subido. No es el mejor servicio. ¿Cargo del 10%? 4 / 10 no volvería a ir o recomendaría. Tenía un ramen de marisco y el calamar era de goma dura, hizo que la camarera se entere y ella acaba de decir que pasará a chef. Cool.

Consistently fantastic, if you don't go here then go to one of the other Maki & Ramen branches in the city. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu and Chicken Mayo Karaage are my go-to.

Had a great time. Friendly staff, decent service and superb food. Very very tasty, steak tataki ramen was just amazing.

Nice place, serve halal. Friendly staff, tasty food. Good quantity. Fast service.

Ordered a Black Garlic Tonkotsu and Hell Ramen. Really enjoyed my meal. I was served by Hannah. She’s friendly and our experience was incredible. 🤩

Tasty goodness. Big bowl of deliciousness. Happy customer. Rapid service. Place was jammin’

The food is really tasty and perfectly cooked and seasoned ! Great service by Hannah today, loved the ambiance of this cosy restaurant 👌

Great service and atmosphere, and the food was phenomenal!

We had the black garlic tonkutsu and hell ramen, and they are unexpectedly good! Also great service and there’s an Asian waitress made us feels very welcomed!

Absolutely love this place. Food is always immaculate. Not sure what to get? Go for the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, you won’t be disappointed. Staff were a little hard to get their attention after we had ordered our food, but they were fully there when we arrived, so that’s why 4 stars

Tienen una gran selección de ramen, sushi y otros platos japoneses. Fuimos por gyozas y 2 tipos de ramen y todos eran excelentes. Su casa lager era bastante bueno también. Los precios son un poco altos, pero las porciones son bastante grandes también, así que es aceptable. El servicio fue muy profesional. Tienen un cargo de servicio del 10%, así que - 1 estrella por eso, ya que es un dinero ridículo - agarrar táctica de movimiento que necesita parar. Curiosamente habríamos dado propinas más que esto, así que ni siquiera es en su mejor interés.

This is my favourite place to eat in Glasgow. I love their food and it never disappoints. Always busy and always worth it. Love Ramen and Sushi - this is the place for you 10/10

Really good quantity of Ramen with good vegan options , delicious sushi

We come here a lot and love the food, always very nice staff and nice atmosphere. If you come get the spicy tuna hosomaki or rolls (although maybe don’t because I want them myself)

My husband and I were recently in Japan and very keen to have ramen again. We came here based on reviews, and we were trying really hard not to compare it to Japan, but we were slightly disappointed. It is expensive for what it is, fair enough it is in Glasgow city centre. It is very expensive for ramen here - £14 a bowl. In Japan it is £7 with a beer. My husband's ramen was the classic ramen bowl, he said the broth was flavourless. Both our noodles were really thin for ramen. We asked for water at the end and the waiter seemed surprised - also everyone else got a carafe full and we just got a cup! Again, don't like to compare it to Japan, but a jug of ice cold water is standard on their tables. If you were looking for an authentic Japanese experience, not convinced this is it, but the setting was nice, the staff were friendly.

Big portion, can taste the ramen broth are boiled for hours to bring out the taste

I ordered a Yakisoba dish which came with very little vegetables, I also ordered the rice tea which I have had before and know how it should taste, this was nothing like it should be, my advice is to find somewhere else, plenty of choice in Glasgow.

Food is great. The staff had a lot of fun at work

Delicious Ramen in Glasgow, quick serve and great service from staff.

Their black garlic tonkatsu is definitely the best in Glasgow. Hannah and Wilton were excellent servers and the ramen came extremely fast

Some of the best ramen I've had! Extensive menu that is extremely vegetarian and began friendly. Would be happy to have a meal here every night!!!

Absolutely delicious, wonderful staff and huuuge portions. Be warned! We had to pack some of the food to go

Great place! We were seated quickly and the service was so friendly. We were collectively more of a fan of the ramen (great!) than the sushi (good). Fun energy to this location. The other location was booked up and I'm happy it was because it led us here.

The place is a bit small but the food is delicious and the service is very fast.

Good place to get the beta Ramens in Glasgow, my first time trying this place out. I had Garlic Black Sesame ramen

Ordered 2 hot sushi roll sets. Was brought within 2 minutes. Not freshly cooked. Heated in the microwave. Disappointed.

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly and helpful!

Decent ramen and friendly staff

I have been to 2 other maki & ramen chains in the past. My favourite one is the Edinburgh one and the Manchester one is also great. This time I got round to the Glasgow one but through takeout so I cannot comment on Atmosphere but overall maki & ramen usually do well in terms of aesthetics. I ordered the tantan ramen and the avocado and salmon sushi which is my go to with any m&r chain. However I feel like the glasgow one overpowers more with spices and the flavour balance was slightly off. Still, it is favourable, lots of meat and good quality ramen. The sushi is also fresh and lovely so would recommend. It is on the pricier side but i’d still say its worth it. Delivery was also fast I think I waited about 20 mins

Very tasty vegan ramen, especially the vegan bacon is delicious!

I have tried food from Maki and ramen in Edinburgh and it tasted amazing . The food taste and serving here was but different from some reason. I would prefer the edinbrugh brach .

Fue una gran experiencia, mi primera vez en un restaurante de estilo japonés. La decoración en el interior es precioso solo y la comida era preciosa.

We had a selection of different nigiris as well as a ramen. The entire meal was very tasty, the service was very attentive and the atmosphere was very nice.

They have both traditional sushi dishes and some of their own signature dishes. We prefer the more traditional stuff, thus we got several dishes of their sushi and it was quite good. It's maybe not the best sushi we've had, but it was what we were looking for. The prices are quite reasonable as well as you get eight large pieces in each order. They also have ramen, which a lot of people seem to be ordering but we did not try it. A nice option if you want some sushi or ramen in the area, or if your group wants a little of each.

I like Maki and Ramen food however, i stopped eating there as i find the prices expensive regarding the portions. Also they normally add 10% service fee which i think is unnecessary, we are not in New York. Instead i found a better and cheaper restaurant near town called Umami ❤️ I highly recommend it. Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈

Incredible place! Would recommend! Servers are so friendly and the food was amazing!

I am a big ramen fan and have tried some of the top rated ramen places around the globe.Had a chance to try this on our trip to Scotland and have to say their hell ramen is the best ramen I ever had.

Trendy and relatively authentic ramen. I have visited their Manchester city centre branch, and I can confirm the quality of food is consistent. Recommended for ramen lovers.

Ramen 🍜 places scores are massively inflated on Google, but this one is legitimately good. Great noodles, attentive staff, would come again 100%.

Had the best dining experience on the 25th July 2024 for dinner. For someone who has been absolutely terrified of trying new things especially Ramen, our waiter Dylan’s service was absolutely outstanding and was great at accommodating my fussiness lol. We were situated at the back with the table that looks like a desk as we had our 6 month old with us so there was plenty of space for him. Upon arrival to our table I told Dylan about how nervous I was as it was all very new to me and that I wouldn’t touch seafood or anything spicy. He was fab at explaining the menu in great detail as well as the flavour profiles and pointing out which ramen dishes had the most resemblance to like a chicken noodle soup broth as I can’t do spice, not even a little bit. He offered to let me try some of the broths before I decided and returned with two whole soup bowls of broth for us to sample. I went with the tonkotsu and my partner went for the black garlic tonkotsu so we could both try each others. Dylan recommended I get it with chicken as it was the best in his opinion. He was not wrong. Honestly was the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. Dylan’s attitude and kind courtesy towards us was immaculate from start to finish. Has to be one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. If your anything like me, ask for Dylan, he is more than happy to accommodate even the fussiest of eaters. Please give this boy a pay rise.

Quick, easy and very tasty food. Decent pricing for what you get, with a decent selection of drinks to go alongside a fairly well stacked menu. Everything was cooked well, and is served as and when ready. My partner and her mum co.e here almost on a weekly basis and I can understand why after my first visit last week. I will certainly be returning again in the future. Katsu curry was a standout item for me.

Very tasty Black garlic ramen. One dish size quite big, I was completely full.

The food and the service are very good would recommend to anyone that enjoys ramen

Changing the review to one star until the automatic service charge (even for 1-2 ppl tables!) is removed. This is a horrible practice and I’d much rather decide to tip servers myself, rather than the restaurant owner sneakily getting away with paying their staff less and compensating with hidden fees. The food was excellent as always, but it’s already on a pricey side, which makes the automatic service charge that much more outrageous.
