Best spots to get your fill of delicious ramen in Bangkok

No Name Noodle isn’t just a ramen shop – it’s an exclusive experience. With only 35 bowls served daily, you’ll need to set your alarm for 9am sharp to get a look-in. True to its mysterious moniker, there’s no signage out front – but some of the best ramen in town is waiting to be discovered.

Helmed by chef Shin Inoue, this hidden gem is all about quality, with each bowl packed with over 30 carefully selected ingredients, many of which are in very limited supply. The star of the menu, launched just last year, is the kombusui yaki kaki sansho shio soba, a double-soup masterpiece built around oysters. The broth highlights their briny richness, further deepened by grilled oysters on kombu seaweed. Toppings like pork, sous-vide chicken, gyoza and a perfectly cooked egg round out this flavourful feast – each element meticulously prepared to let every ingredient shine.

Renowned for its dan dan noodles, a flavourful dry ramen served with a special sauce, Enishi also serves traditional favourites like Japanese dashi ramen and shoyu ramen.

If you love rich, creamy chicken-based ramen, Nanase Ramen is a must-visit. As Thailand’s only dedicated tori paitan ramen shop, it has been perfecting its signature chicken broth since 2015 and now boasts multiple branches across Bangkok. The magic lies in a slow-simmered stock made from chicken bones cooked for 10 hours until the broth reaches a thick, collagen-rich consistency packed with deep umami flavours.

Each bowl is loaded with juicy, hand-shaped tsukune (chicken meatballs), minced chicken for extra depth, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg with a jammy yolk. The broth is luxuriously thick, offering a hearty yet well-balanced experience. And for a nostalgic touch, the ramen cart out front blends tradition with a bit of street food charm.
