Ramen House, Japanese restaurant in Little Tokyo, Mexico City
Ramen House is a Japanese restaurant in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood of Mexico City, serving ramen bowls, gyoza, and other classic Japanese noodle dishes. The menu focuses on slow-cooked broths with handmade toppings prepared in a small kitchen setting.
Japanese immigrants began opening food businesses in Mexico City in the late 1800s, laying the groundwork for Japanese cuisine in the capital. Ramen House carries on this culinary thread that has run through the city for well over a century.
Ramen House sits in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood, an area where many Asian restaurants have gathered over the years. The place draws regulars from nearby offices as well as visitors who come looking for a bowl of Japanese noodle soup in the city.
The restaurant is near Rio Pánuco street in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood, within walking distance of several metro stations. Arriving outside of peak lunch or dinner hours gives you the best chance of finding a seat without a long wait.
Although the restaurant is known as a Japanese spot, some dishes on the menu quietly incorporate Mexican ingredients sourced from local markets in the city. The result is a set of flavors that you would not easily find in a traditional Japanese restaurant elsewhere.
