Maki & Ramen, Japanese restaurant in City of Edinburgh, GB.
Maki & Ramen is a Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh, Scotland, specializing in ramen bowls with rich broths and hand-rolled maki prepared to order. The menu draws from cooking traditions across different regions of Japan and changes with the seasons.
The restaurant was founded after research trips across Japan to collect recipes and techniques from different regions. That groundwork shaped the direction of the menu and the cooking methods used today.
Japanese food culture places great importance on the balance between broth, noodle texture, and toppings, and this balance is visible in every bowl served here. The maki rolls follow a similar logic, where simplicity and fresh ingredients speak for themselves.
The restaurant is accessible by foot or public transport and is equipped with wheelchair access for visitors with mobility needs. Arriving outside of peak lunch and early evening hours generally makes it easier to get a table without a long wait.
The noodles used in every ramen bowl are made fresh on-site each day, which is not standard practice in most ramen spots outside Japan. This means the texture of the noodles changes slightly depending on the day, which is part of what makes each bowl feel different.
