Ramen Dayo! in Glasgow City

Was geared up to go here as friends' said reviews were good. Dreadful meal!! Worst in a long while. "Veggie Katsu - crispy mixed vegetables"...Not so, a small bed of stodgy white rice, with 4 flat potato croquettes on it. Inside the 'croquettes' was mashed potato, some sweetcorn bits, and miniscule carrot fragments!! Next to the rice was curry sauce, the kind you get with chips. No crispy vegetables or vegetables in sight. Will definitely NOT recommend at all. Find somewhere else!! A complete rip off.

Funniest on visit but 5/5 and great fast service with beautiful ramens and sides. I cannot fault. Lunch deal includes main and drink for £9.99 and the ramen portion is fantastic

Schönes kleines Ramen Restaurant in der Ashton Lane. Speisen waren gut und der Service sehr nett. Kann mann immer wieder machen.

Bad food, service, atmosphere, and price. Got a chicken ramen bowl - extremely salty brown water with undercooked ramen, 3 relatively small slices of chicken breast, spring onions, and a soft-cooked egg (for an extra £2.50!). Service was very slow considering we were the only customers there. Atmosphere was cramped and music too loud. Price was ridiculously expensive for basically salty water with chewy ramen and an undercooked egg (£16.50!). Won't go again.

Brilliant staff, just lovely, happy and smiling. Food is delicious. We were a walk in, couldn't be happier with everything.

Went on the recommendation of our friends’ 13 year old daughter (and she came along too). Food was fantastic. Bulgogi gyoza were great. The spicy diablo noodles were very good. Service was friendly and efficient …and when I told the server she looked like Carrie Ann Moss I swear she blushed. Lovely evening out with friends. The jalapeño margarita was excellent.

Another place going downhill more with each visit to the point I won't go back. Food very tasteless and not worth the money

The food and service was great! Quick and easy, I would definitely return and would recommend it to anyone wanting a decent bowl of ramen

My teenage daughter & friends frequent Ramo Dayo ~ they love the chicken noodles & Dumplins, today the friendly staff made it that more special by singing Happy 16th Birthday ~ & served up the chocolate b.day cake Cheers all

Ramen was lovely, staff were nice enough but service was actually poor. Another table that came in after us and sat opposite us was given water on arrival but we weren’t. We then had to ask for the drinks menu…then after ordering, I had to ask twice where our drinks were. We arrived at 19.45, finally got drinks at 20.20! If they’d come back to check on us, we would have got more drinks, but nobody did. Not the best experience but ramen was lovely.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Had the tantanmen ramen with an egg. Attentive service and good chat. Worth a trip for ramen

Service was lovely - very helpful & friendly (both upstairs in tiny restaurant which was full & downstairs in bar that offers overflow space). But the tonkatsu ramen was a pale imitation of the real thing. Tonkatsu broth should be unctuous and cloudy with flavour, dayo’s had none of this. Extra roast garlic was raw slices, and no pickled ginger. Not unpleasant just very average. Fried gyoza were fine, tho deep fried rather than the conventional pan fried/griddled. Maybe I’m being too purist but overall was disappointing.

Best ramen I’ve ever tasted. How they get the flavour, I do not know! Lovely little restaurant. Great service, everyone kind, accommodating and friendly.

Gorgeous little Japanese restaurant! I loved this place the second I walked in, it was so cute and had anime playing. An excellent place to grab a bite with your friends or on your own. I had the chicken katsu and the grape soda and both were wonderful but the grape soda tasted amazing! Would recommend to anyone who loves Japanese food and likes somewhere with a good vibe.

Popped in here for eats and drinks on way to a gig. have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Loved the environment, the Japanese street vibe look and feel and cannot fault the food we had, very tasty. And all washed down with a pint of Sapporo. Staff were great, attentive. Menu was as expected for this type of place, and the was tasty! Reasonably priced food and drinks (as expected for Glasgow). Well worth a visit!

After a nice day in the west end my girlfriend and I decided to try this place in Ashton Lane . Overall it was a pleasant experience . Upon entering you are greeted with lovely decor that makes you feel like you are in Japan . The staff are friendly. The food was overall quite tasty . For starters we shared chicken gyoza and it was really good. The shell had a slight crisp and the filling was great. The mains consisted of a pork devil ramen and classic chicken ramen . The pork ramen was very spicy and the broth was well seasoned . The classic chicken had a wonderful flavour to the broth but the chicken could have been chopped into pieces rather than minced . The seasoning on the chicken was okay . Overall we did enjoy the ramen and would definitely go back again. If you are in the west end then head over and try for yourself.

The servers are the only saving grace of this place. They're friendly and responsive. The food... I would not even call it Japanese food. Everything was overcooked, lacked seasoning, and did not even look presentable. I would know recommend the food here, you can move on to other places on the same street.

It’s taken me a while to get back to this, what I would say about this restaurant. But I can safely say this is the worst food, I’ve ever had that has no flavour, there octopus was absolutely disgusting, and the ramen lacked anything and felt like it was split and overcooked, the staff even admitted they wouldn’t eat it. I hope the owners see this and deal with it. Apologies to have to do this, but I won’t comeback, even if they begged me to. Goodbye

Ich habe in diesem Rahmen Restaurant dumplings gegessen und diese waren jetzt nicht schlecht aber auch nicht überragend. Leider ist mir negativ aufgefallen, dass doch alles sehr speckig, klebrig und unsauber wirkt. Vor allem wenn man die Speisekarte bekommt, hat man doch starke Zweifel, dass hier die Hygiene und Sauberkeit vollumfänglich eingehalten wird!

Totally amazing food!!! Very authentic and the decor inside is amazing. The staff are very friendly. I would recommend the prawn katsu curry

I've been to Ramen Dayo I'd say almost ten times now, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow! The ramen is always incredible, full of flavour, my favourite is the Miso Black with an egg. But the sides are always fantastic too, in particular the chicken karaage, its the best fried chicken you can get in Glasgow! The Ashton Lane has a really cosy, special atmosphere with it being so small, so I'd recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Always incredible food. Every time we have friends visit us, we take them here. If you are vegetarian, the shittake and porticini ramen is amazing, and I'd also recommend the veggie tantanmen, it has a good hit of spice to it.

It took 45mins for a starter to arrive and it was cooked incorrectly, fried instead of steamed, I pointed this out, however I was told it was correct, once it was agreed that the order was indeed wrong, they started making fresh, I explained we couldn’t finish it all, so they boxed it! Both our main meals arrived separately, so we ate whenever we could! The chicken in breadcrumbs was rock hard and basically all crispy coating and the chicken I couldn’t taste! The curry sauce had soy sauce in it and made it taste bitter instead of sweet! At £2.95 for a small bottle of coke, we’d drunk £9 of coke before any food arrived! Staff are pleasant, but trying to pass of the wrong food was honestly stupid! I wouldn’t go back, it’s overpriced slow and the food we had, very average!

Was super excited to try the food and it was so good! the waiter recommended so many good dishes and the food was yummy! Cocktails were not to our taste but thats not to say they were bad at all!! Will be back soon

We had originally booked Chateau X but they had no gas and we had to find an alternative. We walked up the street to find this little restaurant. It was delicious!!!. The surroundings are funky and cosy. A few minutes after ordering our server told...

Visited for lunch. Very busy so would advise to book. Service was good and food was really nice. Would visited again. Chicken dumplings very good.

Was seated promptly and then ignored the whole night. Very rude server saw me to explain the menu and then continued to ignore me for the rest of the evening. I had to ask for drinks to be served, food to be ordered and the...

Ramen Dayo is a wonderful place to go when you are hungry and you want authentic Japanese noodles with a side that you might love! I really enjoyed the Tonkotsu noodles which had a really tasty meaty broth. Go to Ramen Dayo NOW!

La comida es totalmente auténtica,llena de sabores diferentes. El personal es extremadamente amable. Pedí de entrantes el takoyaki que me...

I’ve never been to Japan so I can’t speak for certain but I would argue that this place is one of the most closely authentic ramen restaurants I have been to. The setting itself is beautiful with some cozy mood lighting and lovely decor. We...

I went here for my first meal engagement meal and I was not disappointed. Very cosy, the food was incredible and all the staff made it a night not to forget!! Will be going back again!

Superb Ramen, everything was excellent. The service good, the whole ambience was great and the food super tasty. Recommend Booking so you won't be disappointed.

Amazing food and staff! As a foodie from the food paradise—Hong Kong, I would say the ramen and rice in this restaurant is up to standard! I miss Hong Kong food soooo much and they gave me just that nostalgic feeling!

Absolutely love the location of this little ramen bar which is situated on Ashton Lane which is a lovely cobbled street a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of the high street. I didn't have a reservation so they advised that I come back...

Went her for dinner after my business meeting. I ordered the famous chicken katsu and this is my favourite as well. The food did not disappoint me, price is okey for the amount of food given the recent inflation. You need to ensure that you...

I have had an absolutely lovely time at the restaurant and the food was amazing. Kirsty was our server and she was amazing and friendly. Her attentive service and fun personality makes me want to come back again!

Arrived when they were busy but they still managed to seat us. Staff were super approachable and kind, the food was delish, both atmosphere and music were great. We ordered a bit too much food but they offered us boxes to go, very thankful. We...

Three days into our 10 day visit to Scotland we are already looking for a change of pace culinary wise. Although we are staying in downtown Glasgow we find ourselves taking the subway (cute and simple if it not exactly extensive) to Ashton Lane in...

Une toute petite adresse à la décoration qui vous plonge directement au cœur du Japon. Les serveuses sont extrêmement accueillantes...

I cannot recommend Ramen Dayo highly enough. Dumplings to start, followed by steaming bowl of noodles and black sesame ice cream to finish. Staff delightful and keen to help. Cannot wait to return.

The broth was not extraordinary due to its high fat content and barely distinguishable ramen taste. It tasted more like a chicken bullion for me. Overall, the soup was relatively tasty, yet imho it's far away from what I expected as it didn't resemble ramen...

Ordered on Friday night- restaurant cancelled my order as out of stock of what I wanted to order . but still took my money from credit card ! Have had to phone every day now - told will be refunded on Monday . Nothing, told...

Had a lovely meal here. Service excellent and this was a first time visit. Would come back again. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

The decor in Ramen Dayo is right up my street, I love the masks, the darumas, the Maneki Neko's, the lanterns- it screams everything I love- so I was really excited about our visit. We visited the city center one some time ago and had...

Gosh what to say, there were high expectations as it was my sons birthday treat, yes it was cosy (far too hot if you were sat right under the fan heater) and yes it had novetly value, but at the end of the day we...

I had a great time ! The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. I really loved the atmosphere in this place. It was a really great experience !

The entire family went in for some ramen after hearing loads about this place. It took us 25 mins to get a table and then another 35 minutes for our food to arrive. We checked with the servers multiple times to make sure it was...

Absolutely fantastic food. The place was cosy on a rainy night. Studio Ghibli cartoons playing quietly on a screen and nice buzz of people. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We had the shitake and porcini and also the veg tantanmen ramen which were both great....

What has happened to Ramen Dayo? The last I enjoyed their ramen was some time ago in the Queen Street location. The new Aston lane shop looks great, and although their ramen comes with all the bells and whistles that you'd expect from a good...

What a absolute treat this little gem of a restaurant is! Quaint, once you come up those steps, and step through those doors you’re transported to Japan. I had the Tantanmen, for the first time, and it was everything that I hoped. Creamy, nutty and...

The staff that served me was very friendly and helpful. Ordered a new wave chicken ramen Tokyo ramen. Never tried a ramen and was great can have the option have a takeaway option which I did

Genuinely giddy leaving Ramen Dayo! Out of this world ramen, sake and service! Try the veggie ramen you won't be disappointed

The whole experience was just amazing. THE BEST RAMEN IVE EVER HAD!! dont have your breakfast because you'll deffo need room for your ramen in a bowl bigger than your head! So much value for money!!! I'm counting down the days until i get to...

Visited today first time here met by wonderful staff we weren’t sure what to order so waitress ordered it for us and omg we weren’t disappointed it was amazing would highly recommend eating here can’t wait to go back

Hands down the best Japanese food we’ve ever had! The place has such great character, warm and welcoming staff and a wide menu of delicious food and drink. A hidden gem in Glasgow, would absolutely recommend but try and book to secure a table!

First time I’ve ever written a bad review for a restaurant but this one is needed - Chicken gyosa was slimey - bamboo starter was completely bland and Miso tasted like it was cooked a week ago - asked for no nori of course it...

Pumpkin starter was fabulous, definitely the best one I've ever had. Green tea was excellent also. Staff were good showmen!

Had a brilliant lunch yesterday at Ramen Dayo. All the food we had was brilliant and even though the mains were a little delayed the staff were amazing and did all they could to make sure we had a good experience.

I am a Ramen Dayo superfan. However, my absolute favourite item (Karaage if you hadn’t guessed) was something I had been thinking about for weeks, but when push came shove, I never managed to get it. I couldn’t under rate Ramen Dayo, hence the 5...

I love visiting Ramen Dayo! The food is always to the highest standard, such a hearty meal. The staff are a delight and the decor is so aesthetically pleasing. See you soon!

Fabulous, fresh, super tasty food and a great selection of drinks. And what wonderful, friendly service. We absolutely loved it. Could not recommend it enough

We tried this place without seeing any recommendations, so thought we were taking a chance. I must say we were impressed, our youngest child is extremely fussy and the staff could not have been more attentive, friendly and warm, they were absolutely superb. The food...

Best Ramen in Glasgow! Staff fantastic (shout out to superstar Katy - who went above and beyond for us) Frequent this place a lot and never intend on stopping! Fried chicken deserves a special mention also 🙃

Visited with a friend and we both ordered rice bowls, which were fabulous and very filling. The service was good and the prices were reasonable.

I found this restaurant on a rainy Glasgow Day. I was so happy to discover a great ramen menu “they had the nuances down of the tonkotsu broth with and without miso”. The staff was super helpful when it came to choose the right kind...

This quaint little place is so cute, the interior design is so aesthetically pleasing and authentic. The service was friendly and attentive even though it was a bit busy. The meal we had exceeded our expectations set by the authentic decor so we’ll definitely be...

We recently visited Ramen Dayo as we’d heard and read amazing reviews about it! We arrived to the small, amazingly decked out Japanese restaurant we were informed we’d have to wait for a table, which is what we expected for a Sunday afternoon. After placing...

Najlepsza Japońska kuchnia jaką kiedykolwiek wcześniej jadłem. Polecam bardzo z całego serca. Czekaliśmy na stolik około 20min ale było warto.

I had an excellent lunch here on Sunday when my friend didn't show! The food was amazing and I the staff were so friendly and cheery. I am plotting my return

Amazing food! I’m still not over the deliciousness of the ramen. I ordered the shiitake x porcini ramen & added a soft boiled egg + sprouts — ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. 100% will be back. My boyfriend ordered the devils ramen & loved it. The edamame started...

Very welcoming place, nice staff and amazing food! I love the general vibe of the restaurant! 10/10 would recommend

Love the decor, great food and friendly helpful service. Really looked after us and my young son. The ice cream was super as well.

Have visited here quite a few times and really enjoy the food! The ramen is great and generally the service is good! Would recommend to anyone looking for a quirky restaurant in the west end.
