Overview

Maki & Ramen on Bath Street is the chain’s first Glasgow site, opened Boxing Day 2019 as Ramen Ramen in the old Rumours Kopitiam unit and later folded into the Maki & Ramen brand. Founder Teddy Lee started the group in Edinburgh in 2015 after training in Tokyo; noodles and an eight-hour broth are made in their Edinburgh factory. It’s a compact city-centre ramen and sushi spot: tonkotsu and other bowls, sushi, yakisoba, plus vegan and gluten-free noodle swaps if you tell staff. Sticky-note walls and a loud irasshaimase welcome are part of the bit. Deliveroo once named the brand Scotland’s Best Japanese Restaurant. This branch is walk-in friendly (FAQ also flags it among smaller walk-in sites) and open noon–10pm daily. Buchanan Street subway is close; Queen Street Station about five minutes on foot. Sister Glasgow sites sit on Renfield Street and Byres Road.

Best karaage I've had in UK so far, and I've eaten in "authentic" places in London too but it was always overdone and just wrong. Not in here - it was exactly like the one I had in Kyoto. Same with ramen (tonkotsu) - just as it should be. :) In Japan they are more generous with meat and eggs but it seems typical in UK, so can't blame this place. Would come again for sure (if I lived in Glasgow and not just visiting)! :)

Great place for Ramen, they have few locations in Glasgow. Been to the both Bath street and Renfield street. The staff at this location was attentive and helpful, even accepted our request have the spicy sauce separate. The chicken is halal and steak can be made halal in request. Always impressed with the Ramen so flavourful and vibrant.

This ramen spot was our first stop upon arriving in Glasgow, and it turned out to be a great choice for a quick and satisfying meal. While it appears to be part of a chain, the quality didn’t disappoint. I had the black garlic ramen, which was particularly enjoyable—the broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender with a delightful crunch that added great texture. The atmosphere is casual and perfect for a laid-back dining. The service was also very attentive, making the visit even more pleasant. All in all, a solid option if you’re looking for a tasty, no-fuss ramen fix.

Very nice food. Super quick service. Staff were very helpful and polite. The beef ramen I had was nice, beef cooked nicely could have had a bit more flavour for me but not a ramen expert. The broth was great got some added spice and was just right. Tempura prawns were nice. Can’t believe how quick it all came out.

Its a good soup. Quantity and pricing doesnt seem to equate in my opinion. Luke warm. The chashu very thin almost like bacon. No condiments available apart from soysauce. Went here because of the reviews. The spicy ramen is proper spicy. Service is beyond excellent
