Kokoro Ramen Bar
About
A vibrant Japanese ramen bar tucked into Dublin’s Newtown‑Palladian district, Kokoro Ramen Bar offers an authentic culinary journey inspired by the street food of Tokyo. Since opening in 2016, the restaurant has made its own noodles on‑site with a dedicated machine, ensuring each bowl arrives fresh and steaming. The menu features an array of classic and house‑special ramen, complemented by a selection of Japanese appetizers perfect for sharing. Beyond the food, guests praise the lively atmosphere—busy live music, bright décor, and a welcoming staff who put a personal touch on every visit. The spacious interior comfortably accommodates families, couples, friends, and solo diners alike. Reservations are encouraged, especially for the weekend nights when the seating capacity is limited, but walk‑ins are also welcomed during quieter hours.
