2025
8/03
For Japanese people working in Jakarta, the familiar taste of ramen is truly an oasis. In recent years, a ramen boom has hit Jakarta, and a wide variety of ramen shops are fiercely competing. However, with so many options, it’s difficult to find a truly delicious restaurant that suits your taste… a sentiment I often hear.
Even if you find a highly-rated ramen shop on Google Maps, it might turn out to be popular because it’s localized for Indonesian tastes, leaving it a bit unsatisfying for Japanese people…
Therefore, in this article, I will personally select and introduce the best recommended ramen shops in Jakarta in a ranking format for the latest 2025 edition!
Especially for busy Japanese professionals, I have created this ranking based on selection criteria that consider not only the taste but also access, price, and the atmosphere of the shop. I have picked up shops that meet various needs, such as those where you can enjoy a meal slowly in a calm atmosphere, drop by casually after work, or enjoy on a budget.
Now, let’s use this article as your guide to have the best ramen experience in Jakarta!
