Maki & Ramen, Japanese restaurant in Old Town, Edinburgh, Scotland
Maki & Ramen is a Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh's Old Town that focuses on handmade noodles and carefully prepared broths. The menu features Tonkotsu ramen with house-made noodles in pork bone broth, alongside fresh sushi rolls.
The restaurant was founded in 2015 by chef Teddy Lee following his culinary training in Tokyo. Since then, the business has expanded to operate multiple locations across Edinburgh.
The open kitchen setup invites diners to watch chefs at work, bringing the Japanese dining experience directly into view. Communal wooden tables create a social atmosphere where visitors experience the casual, informal dining style common in Japan.
The restaurant opens daily from 12:00 to 22:00, offering both dine-in and takeaway options. The Old Town location provides easy access from the city center.
The broth for the ramen simmers for eight hours and is made in the restaurant's own factory, giving the dish its deep flavor. This careful preparation sets the place apart from quicker cooking methods found elsewhere.
