Ramen Dayo! Ashton Lane is a Japanese ramen restaurant at 31 Ashton Lane in Glasgow’s West End. The business began from a hand built yatai cart in a lane near Central Station in 2016 before developing into permanent restaurants. Its compact Ashton Lane room retains the direct, informal spirit of a specialist ramen shop.
Bowls range from a light Tokyo style chicken broth with chashu and greens to pork tonkotsu, spicy miso and mushroom based recipes. Kamakura ramen combines chicken broth, cabbage, beansprouts, kikurage mushrooms, pork belly and spicy garlic chive. Extra noodles and toppings allow diners to adjust a bowl to their appetite.
Around half of the menu can be prepared vegan, including vegetable broth alternatives and plant protein. The restaurant does not currently offer gluten free options because soy sauce and other ingredients are widely used. Chicken dishes are halal, while all guests with allergies should check the detailed current guidance before ordering.
Japanese sides and drinks complete an experience centred firmly on broth and noodles. Reservations are available, with a small number of tables retained for walk ins, and collection or delivery provides another option. Ramen Dayo! Ashton Lane offers a focused Glasgow interpretation of the quick, satisfying ramen culture that inspired its original street cart.
Address: 31 Ashton Lane, Glasgow G12 8SJ, United Kingdom
