  “Beautiful authentic interior from the lighting to the wall displays. Located in a very pretty part of the city, close to the university; feels like going to Diagon Alley for dinner 🪄 Very friendly staff who are keen to make sure you're enjoying your dining experience. Amazing food, hands-down the best place for ramen in Glasgow, no contest. 10/10 easily”

  “A lovely Japanese restaurant that had lots of different food options to choose from, not just ramen. The vegetable katsu curry that I had tasted amazing and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great too, with relaxing music playing on the speakers and lots of decorations to make it look like a proper Japanese restaurant. The server was very friendly and the toilets were very clean too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the West End of Glasgow!”

  “A little on the pricy side, but definitely worth it. Food was amazing, lots of options to add and modify to ramen main meals. The staff are so friendly and the new location is quite the upgrade.”

  “Update: came for a second time and tried the rice bowls, and the two we ordered were both really bad (chicken teriyaki and diced chashu). Meats were really dry and the marinate was just too much soy, and I do like my soy! We had the devil ramen again and it was still decent so yea won’t come back for the donburis but for ramen it’s okay. Chicken karaage was yummy as always and bonus points for it being dog friendly. cute little place, not crazy amazing best ramen ever vibes but it satisfies the craving!”

  “We stopped at this cute little ramen shop yesterday as we were exploring Glasgow. Right from the start, the service was friendly, welcoming, and quick. We ordered edamame for a starter (which was delicious!) and then got Tonkatsu ramen. The broth was amazing and the noodles the perfect firmness. The pork was extremely tasty as well. As someone who travels frequently and likes to try out new ramen places wherever I go, this place serves some of the best ramen I’ve ever had (if not the best). Definitely recommend!”

  “A small hidden gem in Glasgow that I want to highlight is Ramen Dayo. I visited the restaurant on Ashton Lane, which has limited seating, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. Starting with the drinks, the grape soda wasn’t available, so I tried the melon soda instead, and it was really good. For snacks, I had the chilli and garlic edamame, which was tasty and came in a good portion. As for sides, the takoyaki was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. I would strongly suggest waiting 1–2 minutes before eating it, as the inside is piping hot and the staff don’t give a warning about this. For the ramen, I tried the Tonkotsu. The pork broth was well-balanced and flavourful, paired with chashu pork belly, kikurage mushrooms, spring onions, and nori. It’s definitely a must-try ramen, and don’t forget to add the Aji-tama soft-boiled egg. For dessert, I tried their matcha green tea and black sesame ice cream. The matcha was okay, but the black sesame was absolutely delicious and definitely a must-try. The service was fast and welcoming. However, I would have appreciated being asked, “How was your meal? Did you enjoy it?” rather than simply being asked, “Are you finished with your meal?””

  “I recently visited Ramen Dayo on my own and had the best experience. The venue itself is in a prime location - Ashton Lane - meaning it was super cosy with the fiery lights outside. The restaurant is very cool with quirky decor yet it felt like I was at home eating due to how comfortable and warm it was. The menu had lots of choice and the food was very comforting. I chose a salmon rice bowl and pumpkin croquettes. Both dishes arrived quickly, were big portions and presented very well. They tasted both fresh and delicious with tons of flavour so I was not disappointed. However, next time I’d definitely try the Ramen. The only slight negative was that bookings are for an hours slot so I felt slightly rushed trying to finish my huge meal and pay in time - I think the slots should be at least 1 hour 15 minimum. I had no time for dessert of coffee and definitely wouldn’t have had time to order a starter either. Despite this tiny issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would go back in a heartbeat. It’s clearly a very popular place to eat as it was busy, even on a week day. It’s a fab place to visit with friends or to dine alone and the staff made me feel very welcome - thank you!”

  “Highly recommend! Everything from the starters to the mains was absolutely delicious—easily a 10/10. The food arrived quickly, the staff were kind and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. One small suggestion: considering the rich flavors of the food and the overall decor, the background music didn’t quite match the atmosphere. It’s not a major issue, but having music that complements the vibe would enhance the experience even more. Looking forward to visiting again!”
