They have natural wines besides the ramens are tasty.
Amazing Gyoza and Ramen!! The pork was so flavourful and it tied perfectly together. I added in a bit of my sauce from the gyoza into my ramen and it added even more amazing flavours. Highly recommend. The waitress we had was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed, checked up on us and asked how it was. She made us virgin margaritas as well!
This experience is synonymous with the Red Light district in Amsterdam! Truly stimulating and delicious noods. Thank you!
Had the soya braised ribs, tan tan and miso ramen. Amazing taste and presentation. Great local ramen restaurant.
Went here for lunch and ended up with a huge meal. We ordered a bowl of ramen each — mine with extra noodles and a tamari egg — plus a pork rice bowl and a couple of the house kombuchas. All were served quickly and were delicious. Ramen was totally on point and the rice bowl was damn tasty, slightly spicy and savoury. Our server was very laid back, yet attentive. The place had some very good pencil art on display that kept us distractedly interested. A bit pricey, but everything was top notch great.
Best lunch special in town with a half bowl of Ramen and a half salad and either kombucha or a beer. Love the vibe of this spot. All the ingredients are as locally sourced as possible, and the intention behind the cocktails, and the seasonal menu is really felt and the quality of the food and drinks.
Very friendly server, super cool hole in the wall atmosphere, and delicious food! They call it a modern take on Ramen so it isn’t as rich as typical Ramen broth, but they are thoughtful with the additions they put in and it’s very good! Based on reviews, I would say it is an underrated spot in Nelson!
Amazing!’ we sat at the bar and had great service. They had so many gluten free options and I loved that all their ramen could be made gluten free. My only wish is that they had a gluten free beer to accompany it! Especially since BC has so many good ones. All in all though I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend this restaurant to anyone in Nelson!
The food was excellent — you can really taste the care and love put into each dish. The menu is smaller, but that’s exactly what allows them to curate such high-quality food. The drinks were also fantastic, with plenty of options to choose from. Our server was phenomenal. She was taking care of both the inside and outside tables and still managed to be attentive, friendly, and efficient. She was fantastic Cheers to Red Light — highly recommend!
We loved this place! The vegetarian ramen was amazing and the ambience was friendly and inviting. All of the servers were great and attentive, and the drinks (cucumber ginger soda pictured) were delish. Also loved the Kale Caesar salad! Would come back again.
