Maki & RamenB+

80 Nicolson St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9EW · Japanese restaurant, Gluten-free restaurant, Authentic Japanese restaurant · Edinburgh

Lively ramen spot delivering flavorful bowls and good value, with occasional service hiccups and tight, steamy quarters; great spice options and clear halal/vegan choices.

The verdict

Maki & Ramen delivers solid ramen craftsmanship with strong broth quality and flavorful signature bowls that justify its loyal following, but quality varies noticeably between visits, preventing higher-grade reliability. Tight seating and ventilation issues detract from the cozy aesthetic, while service swings between warm and inattentive depending on timing. Worth visiting for ramen enthusiasts seeking comfort-focused Japanese casual dining with clear dietary accommodations.

One caveat: Crowded, tight seating and lingering cooking smells reported by several guests
