Maki Ramen in Edinburgh, City of

Wonder staff, wonderful ramen, so scran. So a welcoming cute and cosy atmosphere, strongly recommend

Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen was amazing! A lovely little place. Will be back again for sure.

A very popular spot serving rich ramen and a selection of sides. The ramen was delicious, but lacked a little depth of flavor. However this did little the dent the experience, with a fantastic busy atmosphere and well priced.

Amazing food! Absolutely delicious. We got the hot pork ramen and the chicken ramen. Both amazing and lovely staff. Would definitely come back

Great Ramen in Edinburgh and Great service! The Ramen was better than what we had at Tokyo Narita Airport during our transit. Thank you

Absolutely lovely people are working here. And food is outstanding as well

Not sure how many times I've been here before, but I always come back here. Absolutely love their black garlic tonkotsu ramen! I have tried many ramen before (I'm a fan of ramen), this one is one of the best I've ever had. Hands down. Taste as good as in Japan too. Also the queue here isn't as long as the one in St James Quarter.

Friendly staff, amazing food! The tonkotsu tasted like an actual legit one, can recommend!

Scratched a part of my throat I never knew existed

Amazing food and lively atmosphere. We ordered the hell ramen and steak tataki for main meals and both were absolutely delicious. Really flavorful broth. The pumpkin croquettes were also great.

Great Experience once again at another location of Maki & Ramen. Food as usual is awesome. Had chicken Katsu curry and my friend had Hell Ramen which felt like heaven. Brother Adrian has a PhD in customer satisfaction 😜

Delicious, quick and filling food. Extremely cordial and friendly staff. Atmosphere a little too crowded

Busy restaurant. However, was seated fairly promptly, friendly waitresses. Food was tasty, had the tonkatsu ramen and the other one with kaarage chicken. Both very tasty and we would come back again when in Edinburgh

Frankly, I've had much better ramen. Considering the price / performance, it is not a place I would choose again. The atmosphere is not bad, the service is good.

It was one of the best ramen I've eaten in my life! Service is quick, and the portion is big. We also took a takoyaki and roasted green tea, which was delicious. Highly recommend visiting this place if you're hungry and enjoy a big portion of good food. The only disadvantage is that there is no place for your winter coat, so you're forced to be creative to put it somehow on your chair without a back, lol.

Food was excellent and the service from Angelo was great, would recommend.

Loved everything about this place. Even got my 70 year old mother to enjoy it who usually hates "foreign food"

The asian waiter was so rude. Giving a grimace what we asked to split the bill. It was a business trip so we needed to expense our meal separately

I have been going to Maki and Ramen for three years now. I have watched this particular branch cycle through many staff. I have brought so many people to try the absolutely delicious food and warm atmosphere that this place brings. It is devastating that they changed the Chocolate Mochi Ice-cream. It used to be a delicious chocolate ganache filling with the softest rice dough shell. Today I was served something that does not compare to the rest of the food offered from this franchise. Disappointing. (The staff are absolutely wonderful though.)

The food is amazing. The staffs are so friendly and welcoming too. I didn’t know how to use the chopsticks and asked help to one of the staff and he didn’t even hesitate to help me out! Totally worth it.

Friendly atmosphere with tasty food.

Absolutely nailed my Ramen craving. Chicken Karage with mayo was perfection. Black garlic ramen was exactly how'd I'd expect it to be. Partner got the chicken ramen which was equally as good. Great and friendly service to match as well.

really friendly owner and waiters! Delicious food, wasn’t overwhelming at all

The food here is very good, very tasty

This place was busy and I'm not surprised, the food was beautiful and just what we needed.

The best ramen I've ever eaten in my life

Nice place to eat ramen in Edinburgh! Small but welcoming place, friendly staff. Very good ramen!

A lot vegetarian, vegan and non-garlic options. Unbelievable nice service.

The food is good, except for a female waiter with golden hair who has a very bad attitude and lacks patience. She comes over before we finish our food and takes it away. In short, the service here is very friendly except for this female waiter who is very bad (I even think her attitude is not worthy of being a waiter)

We had Tonkotsu ramen, black garlic Tonkotsu ramen, beef ramen and the curry rice. Food was great! And the service is awesome. What’s better than a hot delicious soup in the middle of the winter!

The char siu is prepared as if it were just grilled bacon. Kimchi tastes like it’s mixed with red pepper paste.

Cozy, nice and vibrant place and the food is amazing.

Absolutely delicious food- especially the takoyaki And really lovely friendly service

Best ramen place in Edinburgh! Adrian, one of the staff, is excellent and is very accommodating! Will come back again.

Just fabulous ramen. Suitable for peanut allergy sufferers.

Excellent ramen! Lovely service.

I am a regular customer because this is simply the best place to eat Ramen in all of Scotland. The food is top quality. The service is unbeatable. And the atmosphere is charming. It's like being at home. Thanks Oscar, thanks Dom and Angelo.

Small place in the St James neighborhood where only ramen and a few other dishes are served All very good, fast service and average price Menu attentive to vegan/vegetarian needs and various food allergies

I was skeptical at first! As I just came back from Japan and was deeply missing the food. So the moment I saw this Ramen house, I immediatley tried it. And the waiter is right! Its actually similar in taste.

Absolutely delicious and super quick service! Highly recommend - perfect place for a cold night

Amazing food 🍜 hope we can come back soon!

This Ramen is phenomenal. Best I had in my life. Thank you. Edit in 2024: I think prices went up, service charge on top of that, portion got smaller, £15.95 for black garlic ramen? This is really good ramen but next time will pick different kitchen.

Very very good! One of the best ramen I've ever tried! Super friendly and know a little bit of Spanish in case English isn't our thing!

super busy and high demand for this place and for good reason! the food was really yummy and the portion sizes were really big! service was brilliant and really attentive - a great personal experience would come again definitely worth a visit.

really enjoyed our meals, the staff were really attentive and lovely.

Lovely meal at Maki & Ramen, felt authentic and cosy

Staff were very welcoming and food was incredible. Great portion sizes.

For lunch, he won out and we got raman at MakiRaman on Leith Street. Just look for ‘RAMAN RAMAN’ on the outside of the store and you will find it. He got the Steak Tataki and I got the Chicken Raman. He also got a side order of Gyoza. Orange Fanta for him and a Sapporo Premium for me. He said his raman was the best he had since leaving South Korea. Great little spot for a rest and recharge after running around Calton Hill. In for some raman or curry, drop by here.

Very tasty food with vegan and halal dish, friendly staff. I highly recommend it.

Everything excellent. Exquisite ramen. Highly recommended!

The food is brutal and the quantities are very generous, a great option if you like ramen, want to eat something hot and leave very satisfied.

it was great! the Tantan ramen was amazing and the service is really good! visited on a saturday but they were really quick with helping you

BLACK GARLIC TONKOTSU is very rich and delicious❤️ The portion is quite sufficient and the price is reasonable at 14.5 pounds~

Delicious food and good service. I sincerely recommend it. The clerk is very happy with his money. I love it.

I am eating in Maki & Ramen since 2021 The food is very good. But today I had my dinner in Maki & Ramen leith Street and I order my always favourites Steak Ramen, I had this Ramen so many times and always get 5 pieces of steak however today I only got 4 pieces. When I complained the staff gave a cheeky laugh as if I am lying and never even apologise or try to solve the problem. I am very disappointed today.

I took veggie gyozas, tonkotsu ramen then matcha crème brûlée. All the dishes were delicious, I recommend this place. Special emphasis on the Gyoza. The skin is super thin, cooking level is perfect. I have rarely tastes such fine Gyoza even in Asia.

Really good ramen. Big portions in a nice setting. There was usually a que outside, but it's worth waiting because the food is delicious. The mochi dessert was also nice for something different so I'd recommend that as well.

Some of the best Ramen ive had! Service was friendly and quick! Also has a great vegan selection, Highly recommend!

I was recommended Maki & Ramen as an Edinburgh institution. Really friendly and quick service, and very tasty food! It wasn't that busy when I went in but I can imagine it gets super busy as it is very good.

Lovely quick service, tasty food - I had the seafood hell, wasn’t super spicy but really good. Big portions and the octopus balls were great. ☺️

Amazing ramen; went for vegetarian hell ramen but vegan option also available 🫶🏻

Delicious food and lovely staff. Went for a solo meal and got a lovely seat at the counter so could watch them cook. Black garlic ramen, kaiso salad and chicken karaage were great. Very close to the station so recommend as a meal on your way in or out of Edinburgh!

Great place! Delicious authentic food and wonderful staff! Had the chicken curry and the sauce was perfect. Ramen also tasted amazing.

The food was way spicier than expected. We asked for a feedback to the waiter but she can clearly handle spicy better lol Service was nice but the food was overall not the best

Quite possibly the best ramen shop in Scotland

The food was amazing and very authentic. Loved the atmosphere and the fast service. The sushi was really good too

Good food, Service Charge Surprise. The ramen is good quality, the service personable, but wait for the 10% service charge surprise when they bring you the bill.

Poor service, disrespectful team

Many halal options and they really take that into account. Tasty and familiar

really tasty!! High quality food! Super friendly service. A great place to dine

First Ramen - Great Ramen! Come in, enjoy!

poor experience in general, would not recommend

The place is small, but the food is delicious, and the best thing about it is that when you open the menu, halal meals are written next to them as halal. I wish they could apply them everywhere. This movement is comfortable and very relaxing 👌🏼..

Small place, but fast service, with nice waiters.

Had the Tonkotsu ramen and chicken karaage, and both were excellent! The ramen broth was rich and flavorful, with tender pork belly and perfectly cooked noodles. The karaage was crispy, juicy, and sooo delicious. Great portions and overall a delicious meal—I highly recommend!

The most delicious ramen and gyosas i have ever try! Highly recommend it

Absolutely delicious ramen. Also I cannot get enough of the chicken gyoza. The Dipping sauce! My fav! Went 2 nights, the steak tataki was my very favorite, but no bad food was had.

The takoyaki were very tasty. The Tonkutsu Ramen was good, but the Chicken Ramen unfortunately lacked a bit of spice.

The food was to die for. Super tasty.

The black garlic noodle was not tasty and too greasy. It didn’t have the umami flavor of Japanese ramen. Maybe it wasn’t to my taste. I also ordered chicken. The chicken tasted almost like Korean honey fried chicken and was too mixed. If you want ramen, don’t come to this restaurant! Not delicious! Not delicious! Not delicious!

On a rainy autumn day in October after a long walk - this was just what my solo-traveller heart desired. The food is excellent, I am vegan myself, and I was very satisfied with their Ramen. The store is jam-packed with tables and during rush-hour it gets quite packed in there. If you want excellent Ramen and dont care much about a laid-back athmosphere, this is the place for you!

really lovely place, the ramen were really good and the server was very attentive

Absolutely delicious food, which came to the table so quickly.

The food is amazing. The service is top. And when they say it’s spicy- it is! Highly recommended

Best ramen ever! Great food. Great service. Love this place!

Delicious food 🥘! Nice service, atmospheric place - just a coat hanger would be nice 👌🏻

I love the takoyaki from this place, but one of the employees is a bit rude.

Excellent Ramen, very much worth it! Would definitely come back!

Great ramen and sides Came here for lunch a few weeks ago as wifey had been eyeing this place up for a while and had heard good things - they didn't disappoint! We both had bone broth ramen. I had the super saiyan mega insanity spicy (or whatever it was called...) ramen. Which, to be honest, were just a bit spicy. Very tasty though. Having tried a lot of these types of bone broth ramen this place was not much different to others, but definitely up to standard, 8/10. We also ordered a couple sides: Seaweed salad, another classic, prepared in the standard way, nice and refreshing, 7/10 Calamari, the meat was lovely and buttery. Dipping sauce was a bit meh. 7/10 Overall nice place for a quick lunch, don't bring heaps of shopping bags with you, space is pretty limited.

Beautiful, so tasty great atmosphere glad we came across it

Fantastic bowl of ramen, super polite servers and overall a super enjoyable experience. The noodles and meat was cooked to perfection.

best service! i didn't know that the chicken gyoza was not halal. They made sure of it by letting me know that info and let me change it to veggie gyoza. a very halal-friendly ramen shop!

If you need a break from toasted sandwiches, sausage, haggis, etc. this ramen joint is a great option! Small space but well managed and tasty food

It was a wonderful experience,the ramen was delicious and the broth was hot and comforting. Enjoyed our meal. It was good to know the chicken and beef were halaal ,so I enjoyed the food. It was conveniently located,just a little bit of waiting time.

Fun spot, we had to wait outside for a few minutes for a table to open up, but definitely worth it! Great food that warmed you up, and good service.

Friendly staff and tasty food with big portions

We stayed there for lunch. All meals were very delicious. Thanks for the lovely service

Idk is a hit or a miss. Everytime I go they have different noodles

Always full and even with a line to get in, so I decided to do a take away. It didn't disappoint. Chicken ramen, generous portion and very good.

Perfect. The service, the food, the cozyness.
