Quick info
About G Neko
Cat-themed décor runs through every corner of G Neko, a restaurant at 94 Military Rd in Colchester, where wooden panelling and a speakeasy-style front set the room's tone. The menu leans into ramen, with Mapu Tofu and a vegetarian bowl both offered, and either can be made vegan by leaving off the egg. Cabbage arrives as a vegan side, and gyozas come together in house at the kitchen counter. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with the counter team taking orders throughout the evening. Late hours make the room a stop for night-time diners in the surrounding streets.

Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the ramen, especially the Mapu Tofu Ramen, as the standout draw, calling it the best in Colchester and comparable to the former Hsinking in town. Homemade gyozas, vegan-friendly sides like the cabbage dish, and a wide sake selection come up close behind.
