Ramen Dayo

For my final blog post for my assignment I shall talk about my experience when I went to ‘Ramen Dayo’ for the first time. Ramen Dayo is a small Japanese restaurant with locations on Queen Street in the city centre and Ashton Lane, in the West End. They pride themselves on being the first of their kind in Glasgow being the number 1 place dedicated to providing the customers with Ramen food, which is a popular type of food in Japan.

My initial reason for going to the restaurant was because I had seen the food on a number of peoples Instagram stories and wanted to try it. Before then I had never considered trying Ramen food as I would usually stick to your classic Italian restaurants when choosing somewhere to get food. However the pictures which I had seen looked too good to pass up, so thought why not give it a try.

On first impressionist was as though I had walked into a wee Japanese side street in the heart of Tokyo. It was laid out like a little street which added to the experience. It is clear that when designing the restaurant they had thought about providing the best possible experience to the customers. This, all before I had sat down, gave me a good impression of the place. The employees were very friendly with our waiter taking us to our seats and bringing water to the table without us having to ask. They were also very helpful with the menu as I had never had Ramen food before so it was quite confusing as I didn’t know what anything was. I eventually just went with what had been suggested by the waiter, Tonkotsu Miso with Chashu Pork Belly as an extra. It was also suggested that I should make it ‘rich’ which basically just thickens the broth from what it would be normally This was full of flavours which I would not normally have but surprisingly I was a big fan of it. As well as this I had a side of chicken dumplings which were also excellent. Since this time I have been back multiple times and will continue to go as I am yet to be disappointed.

On average when I have been it has cost me around £11 which I would say is reasonable. It is definitely good value for money due to the obvious amount of effort that goes into making sure each meal is perfect.

Overall –

Employees – 4.5/5 – only complaint would be the time it takes to get the bill sometimes

Food- 4/5 – could be better if they gave you more pork belly in the meal

Experience – 5/5 – would be difficult to beat it anywhere else in Glasgow
