So this has nothing to do with Japanese ramen at all - it's a mimic of ramen but far from the real flavours. The same goes for the Gyoza. The only original flavors was the kimchi. Service is nothing special and prices are not cheap.

Prompt service, fresh food, very tasty dish. Gyozas were very flavourful and dipping sauce to die for. Reasonably priced

Worst ramen, bao buns & dim sum we’ve ever had. Tasteless, frozen and so it looked undercooked pork, the dumplings in the wonton soup were also so gross and the texture was not right. I would avoid at ALL costs and just go to a...traditional Hungarian cuisine instead, we hardly ate any of it and we might as well have just thrown our money in the bin.More

Awesome restaurant with great Japanese food. I really liked the Japanese radish (daikon) and their beef ramen. Sake was good too.

Absolutely horrible food and environment. It stinks, and it feels like a sauna. Tasteless food, bad service, even when ordered ONLY two portions. NOT GOING BACK!!

We visited this establishment for a takeaway ramen. We were told the wait would be 20 mins and then not even 40 minutes later we were still waiting for the food! Although the food took an extremely long time to come, the ramen was given...to us disassembled, forcing us to essentially make it ourselves at home - no clue what took them so long to “make” the food. When received, the food was cold. The “bao buns” were nothing like actual bao buns. In future I would recommend to better explain to customers what you’ll actually be giving to them.More

I really don't get the 1 star reviews. We came here just before close and we were absolutely impressed with the portion sizes! Yes, it's not as tasty as other ramen places, and might not be 'traditional' ramen but what do you expect? It cost...less than £4 for a huge bowl that will fill you up for the rest of the day. We came twice. I preferred the vegetarian broth to the pork broth, but I had the beef one once, and chicken the other. My partner had the tofu, and the vegetable. We really thoroughly enjoyed the experience twice. We found the service was good. Price was good. It was always very clean. If you're a ramen snob, don't go here. If you just want a good hearty bowl of ramen then come here and enjoy the experience.More

The tofu ramen was tasty however it was just too oily. Oil blobs visible on top. The vegetable gyoza were also quite oily & salty which was disappointing. Enjoyed the Aloe Vera juice & seaweed salad. It is a ramen bar so seating was quite...close. Staff were helpful. Would have enjoyed it much more without the excess oil & salt.More

Had been looking forward to visit ramenka before heading home after a few days of vacation in Budapest. Passing it several times it caught our attention looking like a hip and nice restaurant. We ordered a bowl of the pork ramen and baos. The ramen...was probably the worst ramen I’ve ever had. The broth was bland, the pork was mixed with beef, the egg was really overboiled, the noodles were mushy. We got the baos 15 minutes later and the were a major disappointment. They looked store bought and fabricated but I decided to give it a try. Took a bite and the middle was still frozen. I told the staff about this and without any apology she asked if she should heat them. Without any compensation I got them back 10 minutes later, STILL without any apology. Ate one of the buns but it was honestly hard to swallow, gooey inside that was some kind of unspecified meat. The bao was doughy and one of the worst things I’ve ever put in my mouth. The staffs rudeness and the food destroyed our last day of vacation!More

The place was packed so we were sitting next to two couples we didn’t know. That in itself wouldn’t have been a problem if the food was good. It wasn’t. We ate the chicken ramen, the soup was bland, chicken was not very fresh and...we missed the soft boiled egg and the flavoring oils from the ramen. The service was impolite, they kinda looked fed up. The toilet was disgusting.More

Really nice place. I really loved the way it was designed in the inside. Friendly staff and delicious ramen. The prices are nice and the ramen portions are really big. Kindly recommend this for a warm bowl of ramen.

Rudest members of staff we have encountered on our visit. We waited at the order point for a long time whilst being ignored by 4 members of staff. When we asked to order they said '2 minutes, we don't open until 12' (fair enough but...the door was open). Once they finally took our order she said "you'll have to repeat it because... yeah", even though she listened to the whole thing. The server looked like she'd woken up from a 20 year coma, barely able to respond to anything I said. I actually had to ask 'whats going on here' at one point and she just stared at me blankly. Also the ramen was bland and the dumplings weren't much better.More

Was only ok. There wasn’t much salt and spicy, and the pasta it doesn’t have any taste. The ambience is friendly. The gyozas were much oily.
