Fou Fow Ramen in Jordaan

Me and my partner had food here a while ago and though it was good we felt very sick shortly after. I believe there would have been something wrong with the started dish that we shared as we both felt like we got food poisoning afterwards. It is a shame that this happened but I don’t think it was handled well by the restaurant managers sadly. Over the phone we were told to send a dm or write an email, and even though I did both I never got a response. This makes me feel like we were not taken serious, and though we were told over the phone we would get a refund for the meal this never happened. Definitely a shame as this was a cute spot!

Delicious ramen, with a special mention for the version with lemon and ginger broth! The dining room is pleasant and the service is very fast and friendly.

Small place for a quick ramen, there seems to be always queue but goes quite fast. Plenty of vegan option, gyoza were great! Ramen was tasty, will go again to try the non spicy version

We went for lunch on a recommendation and loved it. The ramen is delicious, as are the dumplings (pork and vegetarian). The place is small and usually packed.

Favorite ramen spot in Amsterdam! The spicy tan tan and the tori lemon ginger are my favorites

Very friendly staff and great food!!!

AWESOME ramen! It arrived pretty quickly too.

Udon itself is decent, quality meat. They messed up the order two times and it took nearly two hours to get the bowl of udon. Really disorganized and you can hear it by the way the staff talks to each other. The slowest udon in the world no doubt.

It was more like a fusion dish than a traditional Japanese-style ramen. I guess my expectations were too high.

Wow! The Tori lemon ginger ramen is surreal! I could have eaten 200kg of this delicacy

Nos han echado a la hora en punto hayamos terminado o no de comer. Han sido muy desagradables a la hora de irnos una chica china o japonesa. aproximadamente media hora antes de la hora del cierre y nada más entrar nos han indicado que a las 3:30 cerraban. Nos hemos cogido comida rápida y la verdad es que la comida no ha tardado mucho en llegar. La calidad era bastante mediocre. Mi hija ha pedido un bidón con curry y no nos ha gustado nada. No tenían muchos de los productos de la carta y el servicio ha sido muy desagradable.

The dining room was pretty, so we gave in. And the dishes looked appetizing. But in the end, the dishes were tasteless. I had the miso noodles, and my friend had the chicken noodles. The pasta was mushy and tasteless. The broth had a slight miso flavor that you couldn't taste when you ate it with the pasta. Both of our dishes weren't spicy enough. I didn't eat my tofu; it really wasn't good. We forced ourselves to finish our dishes. Disappointed with our last dinner in Amsterdam.

Very good Miso Ramen, some appetizers good, some delicious!

The food is very good and tasty. The place is not very crowded like many restaurant in Amsterdam 👍🏻👍🏻 the service is also very good and fast 🏎️

High expectations, but a nice chunk of onion in the middle of the ramen. It was good, although I found it a bit bland. It's not one of the best I've had in Amsterdam, but I'll go back to see if it's just temporary. Good service. The interior lacks some ventilation. Some fans would be nice.

I tried the classic Shio Ramen (without pork), prepared with chashu chicken, spinach, scallions, egg, bean sprouts, and kombu, and I was delighted. The flavor is spectacular, the portion size is perfect, and each ingredient feels fresh and well-balanced. The place is also incredible: despite being small and having to wait to be seated, it has a very relaxed atmosphere, with great music and a cozy atmosphere. The staff are friendly and make you feel very comfortable. It was a delicious experience and I highly recommend it. If I ever return to Amsterdam, I would definitely come back!

My wife and I were visiting Amsterdam from London, UK, for the weekend. We had lunch at Fou Fow Ramen Elandsgracht on 29 June 2025. Even though the restaurant was busy, the food, service, and ambience were 1st class. Unfortunately, we left a small parcel which I had bought for my wife. I have been looking for a contact email, but unable to locate this. We would like to arrange DHL service to London, UK, and will pay all the charges. We would be extremely grateful for an email contact.

Great Tantamen ramen, with a speedy and smiley service.

Delicious Ramen classic, very satisfied and warm feeling in the stomach area

Great, delicious food. Highly recommended

My friends and I were making our way to another ramen place (but realized it was closed that day) when we stumbled upon this gem. We were a table of three—two of which are vegetarian. They had great vegan/vegetarian options. Will order the lemon ginger ramen next time. 5 stars!

We went there really spontaneous for dinner and were happy that they still had a table for us. The restaurant is really cute and it has nice seating space outside (many people walk through it, a bit annoying). The menu offered many vegan options which was really nice! The ramen were okay but nothing special (the noodles were fine but the tofu didnt taste really fresh). All in all it was quiet okay and the prices were reasonable.

It’s our favourite spot to eat ramen. You can feel that the broth has been properly boiled for several hours, as it should be. The taste is amazingly rich and delicious.

The food was amazing! Fast and quick service, the ramen and damplings were so good! Definitely recommend this place for authentic ramen place!

Too bad a waiter made openly racist remarks about me, as if I didn't understand English, and took me for a refugee. You will learn, my dear, that dignity lies in justice. Anyway, my apologies, after all it is my fault that the Netherlands is being hit by a wave of emigration. I took them all with me in my suitcase to bring them back to your restaurant. That said, the memory of the umami taste remains unmatched to this day, so my great respect for the kitchen team that offers an exceptional product. Only the waiter still needs to be replaced :)

Always a break point for a quick meal in a tactical position with an average price, fast service... a little wait for the food, much more to sit down... go early, you have to get on the list

Kimchi, aubergine(!) and ramen were all delicious. Recommend the ginger beer as well and service was great.

We had a great time in this restaurant, the staff are very attentive and the dishes are delicious and plentiful.

Delicious Vegetarian Ramen! This place reminds me of the crowded heated pho restaurants in Vietnam and the quality is almost as good. The vegetarian broth was so flavourful, it was maybe slightly a bit too salty but delicious. The noodles were chewy yet perfect for the bowl. A bowl will cost you €16.40 for a classic but the portion is generous. The ambiance is nice as it’s chill for a friend catchup or a nice place for solo dining. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options! Would recommend as it’s in a nice neighbourhood of Amsterdam. Follow me on Instagram @abiratesit for more reviews 😄

Oh, my giddy aunt. There’s a reason why they get busy. I’ll have to go back and try some other items from the menu. Maybe tomorrow.

Slightly overrated. We had tantanmen and miso ramen, which were okay. The char siu disappointed me. It was a pain to eat. We had kimchi as a side dish, and the gyoza was great. The service could be a bit friendlier. Not a place worth waiting in line for.

It's fine but wouldn't come back, the soup base has no depth so it gets boring after a few bites. I also found the chicken char siu very boring, otherwise the staff are friendly!

Probably my favorite place to eat in Amsterdam for the last year and a half. All ramens are great, size large is amazing, I get a proper meal! People working there and kind and warm and atmosphere is always good and cozy, as many people are enjoying themselves!

I had shio ramen and the broth was a bit bland and boring the meat was taste less and it came, just out of the fridge, cold. My friend had ramen with raw onion as topping.. the strong taste killed al the other flavours. Also i have never seen ramen with raw onion...

Touristic trash 1) They will forget your order and will never apologise for it 2) Knowledge of the menu of a waiter: - what's inside veggy's gyodza? - i don't know, cabbage and something - you don't know? - no, I don't Beware, touristic filthy hole

It was very tasty, the staff was very friendly, but it took a really long time for a cup of noodles. Once again very tasty!

Had a very delicious lunch here. Authentic taste and a nice atmosphere. Also the chicken wings are sublime

My favorite Ramen place in Amsterdam. See ya soon!

Crazy good Ramen, rich broth, large portion, egg is cooked to perfection and somewhat cheap. 100% recommend

Very good food and very attentive service.

Oh for me everything in line. Excellent Cino. Smiling and fun service. Small place but it fits.

we put a name on the wait list and waited outside for like 15-20 minutes which was just fine, it wasnt a bad place to hang out. the service and food were decent

superb. love that there are no reservations too

I was genuinely shocked at the TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE here (by a waitress with a darker complexion – the only way I can distinguish her)! I’ve never experienced anything of the kind in all my time in Amsterdam! 1) I ordered chicken ramen with gluten-free noodles, but was not informed that it would be served without chicken. 2) When I asked why the chicken was missing, that waitress responded rudely with, “I don’t know!” After a short pause, she added, “I’ll check.” A few minutes later, she returned and told me the absence of chicken was due to my gluten-free request – something that was not communicated to me when ordering. 3) I asked if chicken could be added separately. She reluctantly said she would check. A few minutes later, she returned to serve other customers but gave me no update. When I asked again, she rudely answered: “Yes, you have to wait. I have other things to do too, and it takes time.” 4) When the chicken finally arrived, it was COMPLETELY COLD – clearly straight from the fridge – and tasted STALE. I’ve never had ramen served with cold meat before. The male waiter stepped in and reheated it upon request. I wasn’t the only one frustrated. The two ladies at the table next to me were also left waiting far too long for their food, and they were complaining. I will not be returning. The service was unacceptable! Your staff needs serious training. If this continues, you will keep losing more customers. Such a shame!

It is really good, ill try other menu next time. but why the hakata has onions inside? it taste weird. i dont think it is common to have hakata with onions.. and the noodle should be thinner for hakata no? but next ill try the original...

Nunnagasa ramen is delicious if you don't have high requirements for the soup base. But the ramen is too soft. I prefer hard noodles so I don’t like the noodles. The slow-cooked chicken is just fine, the whole ramen is just right, don’t ask for too much 😆

Wir waren aufgrund einer Empfehlung im Reiseführer da. Wir fanden es laut, überteuert und nicht wirklich lecker. Eine junge Dame im Service war sehr sympathisch, die übrigen fanden wir eher abweisend. Beim nächsten Mal würden wir vermutlich eine andere Ramen-Bar aussuchen.

If you are looking to enjoy a ramen this is the ideal place!

Delicious. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and friends, 10/10. The glazed eggplant with miso sauce was spectacular. On the table you can find free sesame seeds and chili oil. Very rich, highly recommended.

Normaal gesproken heerlijk en goede services, al 10x geweest. Vandaag slecht personeel en eten was echt de helft als normaal. Aangegeven bij het personeel en gaf een indrukt dat het haar niks interesseerde. Zonde…. Wij slaan het voortaan over!

Worst ramen in Amsterdam! Tonkatsu ramen was so salty I had to ask for hot water to dilute but still salty after adding a glass of hot water.

The basic Ramen portions are normal and will suffice with the starters. The large Ramen plates are really filling and more than enough even without the extra starter plate. Sugar free tea reallllly sugar free, not like standart sugar free tea can from market. I haven't come across a very special taste, but if you prefer ramen to fill your stomach during the day, it's definitely a restaurant to go to in Jordan. the service is fast and the staff are generally friendly.

Take a detour to this superb restaurant dedicated to ramen 😍 Narrow and friendly room, the decor is refined. Several varieties of dishes are available, in three sizes each depending on the number of ingredients you want. We had the Shio Ramen Classic and the Tonkotsu Ramen Classic. Both dishes were excellent. The quantities are generous, you will enjoy it!

Great choice of ramen and side dishes. Great atmosphere.

The food was quite good! The dumplings were delicious, and the ramen was decent. We went with a stroller and a toddler (which I’d say was quite brave of us), but the staff was very friendly and did their best to help us get settled!

Another classic case in Amsterdam of amazing reviews and mediocre food. This is an extremely overrated Ramen spot. There are at least 2/3 places in Amsterdam that are much better. Ramen here is bland, the broth has not very much flavour. Very disappointed.

Super delicious (and spicy) spicy ramen. Very friendly staff.

Very good Ramens, friendly welcome, I recommend.

Very good ramen in Amsterdam ! You just need to register at the entrance for the waiting list and they will come after you when it’s your turn. A bit expensive but totally worth it.

A friend recommended it to me and I fell in love with it. It was one of the best broths I've ever had. I found it very tasty. I always go and continue to recommend it.

Went there yesterday with my sister and her bf and can i say the ramen was the best ramen i’ve even had. The service was 10/10 extremely friendly and attentive. Would recommend to everyone.

The service was a little slow, but it was worth the wait. It was delicious. We liked the atmosphere very much.

Best ramen I've ever had in my life! Also not expensive. Get here early though as there's often a line

A nice place but the ramen wasn't that good. They have vegan and gluten free options which is a bonus!

Absolutely the best ramen that I have tasted in Amsterdam, amazingggg!!!

Place is crowded, service is really nice. I ordered Tori Lemon Ginger Ramen with extra shiitake, corn and egg which was really tasty, the only issue is that it was without chicken chasiu indicated in menu. But since it was still nice i didn’t clarify with staff. Edamame and chicken gyoza are delish as well. I would also recommend to try plum wine, sweet but amazing

I believe it is not worth waiting that long. I went there after reading the reviews, but honestly disappointed a little bit. The large portion is quite big, as a person who eats a lot, it was enough for me to feel full. Didnt like the pork chop. It was chewy and smelly tbh. Overall, i will not visit again but if you’re ramen lover maybe you’ll give it a try, dont know.

Small restaurant in Amsterdam, very pleasant waitress and very good ramen

Absolutamente terrible experiencia. Estábamos esperando 40 minutos para obtener comida, lo que resultó en obtener ramen de cerdo a pesar de que pedimos pollo. Fui a preguntar si cometieron un error. Nadie dijo perdón ni nada, esperamos 15 minutos adicionales (= 55 en total) y obtuvimos la comida más grasienta que he comido en el restaurante. No terminamos la comida y nos sentimos enfermos durante las siguientes 4 horas. No recomiendo este lugar.

Great food, friendly service and larger servings. Can recommend!

Absolutely amazing, the ramen was excellent! The prices are reasonable and the staff friendly. To be tested urgently 🤩

Everything perfect. We ate very well, we were very full and very good price. One of the best ramen I have ever eaten

Was delicious and nice staff. Short waiting time outside approx. 10-20 minutes

Wonderful restaurant for a quick ramen meal. Good price-quality ratio.

The best ramen I've ever had. Bravo!

We ordered Dandan noodles, miso ramen, lemon ginger ramen and tonkotsu ramen🍜 It’s really enjoyable to have a bowl of ramen in winter! And the price is really not expensive in Amsterdam, the CP value is very high

Good,proper quality tonkotsu ramen however not sophisticated. Place is often crowded,so better book table in advance

Perfect for a quick dinner for 1

Very intimate. Close quarters but adds to the charm. Food is the highest of qualities. Regular weekend spot

My favorite ramen place ever! You can’t book in advance, but it’s first come, first served, and the waiting time is never too long. The place is simple, but the ramen is absolutely amazing—super tasty with a rich, flavorful broth. A must-visit for ramen lovers!

It was tasty but not as intoxicating as everyone says... I would think twice about it or maybe go to other ramen restaurants.

everything in this restaurant is very good! if you are looking for a good ramen place this is the one! highly recommend hands down.

Delicious food and quick service!

Gluten free and vegan options available, just ask for the separate menu. I got basic miso with GF noodles and vegan broth - Very tasty and quick service!

Delicious ramen and it came out very quick. The chicken gyoza were good but the Goma Ae was delicious!

Nice cozy ramen restaurant with a chill vibe. Came in for a quick bite. The ramen, eggplant and edamame were amazing. The service was quick and efficient. This place really hit that ramen craving i had. Look no further stop on in.

Great ramen! A huge plate with plenty of flavour. However the prices are higher than the ones on the website and even though the waitress was super nice, the two other guys (one pale with bangs and a ear piercing and the other with a red tshirt and almost curly hair) don't have the best attitude. They look at you like they are forgiving your life, show 0 enthusiasm and don't make you feel welcome. Other than that, everything was great. Thank you! :)

I feel completely cheated. First of all, you can't call chicken cubes "char siu." Char siu is traditionally served as slices of meat, not random cubes. Secondly, I ordered a *large* portion, but the quantity was so little, all these tiny cubes combined would barely make up a single proper piece of meat. This is disappointing. Apart from the meat, the broth has the flavour but too salty, noodles itself was ok, the egg was flavourless. P.S. I got more upset after seeing the photo they used in the website.

Excellent Japanese soup and friendly service

Of all the ramen places in amsterdam, I found this one to be nice and average. Nothing too special

Delicious ramen. Ideally located in Jordaan. Very friendly service. Pronounced flavors. Worth queuing while waiting for a table!

Excellent flavor, I have tried ramen in Japan and this is my favorite. A little expensive, but go and you won't regret it.

Very high quality Ramen with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Also perfect fresh edamame, which is pretty rare :-)

Small and welcoming place, good ramen :)

Looking from the outside looks like a decent ramen restaurant. However, ordered two ramens. Tantan tamen was indicated not too spicy by the waitress, indeed it was very spicy. The other tonkotsu ramen, unfortunately, i had food poisioning and vomitted the next day.

Ramen lovers should definitely add it

Super friendly staff and amazing ramen. Lovely restaurant to visit in the heart of Amsterdam

My husband and I loved it! There was a bit of a wait to get a table, but it was worth it.

I always like to go to this place because the food is good and is a good price for a nice hot bowl of ramen! But lately the service is very bad. Uninterested, non-motivated people are serving you. Don’t pay attention to you, if you are sitting further away from the bar it takes ages to take your order. This place should invest more in hiring good people that like to work in the hospitality.

Great service and also good food. Just missing a kick
