My partner and I have been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The food is very reasonably priced and always super tasty. The staff are attentive, friendly, and create a welcoming atmosphere every time even if super busy.
Our special compliments go to the store manager, Jay. He consistently notices the small details that others might overlook and ensures that everything runs smoothly while maintaining a warm and organized environment. His attentiveness and natural leadership are clearly reflected in the team’s attitude.
What stands out most is his thoughtful and composed approach. He leads with confidence, fairness, and genuine care — qualities that are valuable. One can see that he takes pride in his work and sets high standards, not through pressure, but through example.
It’s truly refreshing to see such professionalism combined with authenticity. Jay is a real asset, and his dedication does not go unnoticed.
Thanks again Ramen.

Tasty foodNoodlesBusy at peak times
I am delighted to have some chill Sundays lunch at the local Ramen in ballincollig. The staff is very nice, helpful and professional. I got the Yakisoba with beef, and it was delicious. It's definitely worth it to try.
We decided to try Ramen Ballincollig as other establishments in the area wouldn't cater for our dietary requirements. Even though he was really busy the manager took time to go through the menu with us and show us what we could have that was gluten and dairy free. Nothing was too much trouble and he even suggested swapping out cream for coconut milk in some of the dishes. It turned out that he was coeliac himself and his partner had a dairy allergy so he understood fully our predicament in trying to eat out in an area we didn't know. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and my partner had the massaman curry. Both were really delicious and portions so huge we asked for take away containers to take the remainder home with us. The massaman curry was probably one of the nicest we had ever eaten and the vegetables in the curry and sweet and sour were crunchy and obviously freshly made.
We will definitely be back the next time we are in Ballincollig as it's nice to find somewhere that took such care and served really good food.
