Ramen Don

Ramen Don, a stone’s throw from the tranquil waters of Gas Street Basin, Birmingham, United Kingdom, promises a culinary voyage that will captivate the taste buds of any Japanese food aficionado. This establishment specialises in authentic dishes that embody the spirit of traditional Japanese cooking. By curating a unique blend of diverse flavours, it offers a selection of well-known Japanese meals with its own inventive renditions, transporting diners to the bustling food lanes of old Japan.

Their menu is thoughtfully divided into two main segments: plates and bowls. In the ‘plates’ section, guests can savour distinctive delights such as charred edamame garnished with shichimi togarashi and sweet soy, impeccably crisp karaage featuring fried chicken thigh accompanied by bold, spicy kewpie mayo and a side of fresh lemon, or mouthwatering gyoza with choices ranging from chicken & vegetable to pork and even tofu & vegetable. Each dish bears the signature of a meticulous preparation process, delivering an original and truly enjoyable flavour.

Switching to the ‘bowls’ section, it’s a spectacle where every ramen enthusiast’s fantasies come alive. Patrons are spoilt for choice with options like the hearty Kotteri pork ramen, brimming with pork & dashi broth, cha shu pork belly, hanjuku egg and a multitude of other ingredients. Then, there’s the chicken paitan, overflowing with roasted maize-fed chicken & dashi broth and a tender sweet soy chicken breast. The miso pork ramen offers a lush ensemble of pork & dashi broth, sweetcorn, beansprouts, and bamboo shoots. The kara miso presents a flavour-packed combination of spicy miso & toasted sesame tare, lamb chashu, sweetcorn, menma, bean sprouts, and shichimi togarashi.

Ramen Don’s mission extends beyond merely serving a meal – it’s about delivering a memorable Japanese dining experience. Each plate stands as a testament to the establishment’s unwavering commitment to excellence, leaving every customer with an unforgettable taste and eager anticipation for their next visit.
