Insider Dining Tips
- Bodega Ramen Bar Basics
- Start with a drink at the bar while waiting for a table - Bodega's bar setup is perfect for pre-ramen cocktails or sake.
- Order ramen and sides separately - the small plates are designed to complement your main bowl, not replace it.
- Share appetizers like bao buns or gyoza with your table, but ramen bowls are individual affairs.
- Eat ramen while it's hot! The noodles continue cooking in the broth, changing texture the longer they sit.
- Use the provided spoons for broth and chopsticks for noodles - slurping is not only acceptable but appreciated.
- Add condiments gradually - Bodega's ramen has balanced flavors that can be overwhelmed if you add too much at once.
Insider Tip
Happy Hour at Bodega Ramen runs Monday-Thursday 5-7PM with R60 selected cocktails and half-price bao buns.
