We were in the area after exploring Dean Village and were planning to have an English breakfast in a place that was unfortunately closed. This actually turned up to be a really lucky event because we found Rokko Rokko Desu just around the corner and decided to give it a try.
The guy who welcomed us has been really friendly and accommodating even if the shop literally just opened when we turned up. The menu outside is slightly different from the one that’s actually on (which on my opinion is better), so I would advise to check it inside as well.
We went for the chicken karaage ramen, salmon tempura and the rokko fries.
The fries are just delicious, the spices and the sauce they use are amazing.
I also loved the ramen, which on cold, windy days is just the best.
If we stayed longer in Edinburgh I would definitely go back!
Nice ambience and nice service.
I ordered a ramen but the portion was a little small for me😅
It was general taste and wasn’t an impressive flavour.
Happened to walk by Rokku Rokku Desu while craving ramen and went in without high expectations. Service was good, nice ambience and we were very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the ”Rokku Rokku ramen” which had a light and delicious broth.
What an awesome little find. Staff were lovely, the food was amazing perfectly seasoned and flavoured (the cocktail was very moreish too!). Will be planning a return soon 🤤
Very, very tasty Japanese food that exceeded expectations. Great cocktails too & friendly, welcoming staff. Perfect place for a nice romantic meal with a partner.
Fantastic ramen - great fresh taste and flavours - I could eat this food every day ! I have done a lot of trips to Japan - RokkoRokko ‘s food really does remind me of some of the best food I had there. Definitely the best ramen I have ever had in the UK and better than the vast majority of the many bowls of ramen I have had in Japan.
Amazing food, the chicken karaage was definitely our favourite! And the broccoli was delicious. Amazing service, our favourite meal we’ve had in Edinburgh! Thank you
One of the best ramen I have had in the UK that rivals Japan - great music, great vibe, great cocktails (look at that expertly made origami gem on the drink) absolutely top quality food! Saen was an absolute top guy to chat to too, was very inspiring hearing the story behind how the ramen restaurant came about, and he offered us some quality yuzu sake on the house. Thanks so much for a great meal!
A great place to eat Japanese ramen! Friendly and easy going. They possibly could add a bit of Japanese flair in the restaurant such as Japanese kimonos, traditional or pop songs.
I have never really quite had the experience I had at Rokko Rokko Desu. From the moment we walked in (although we arrived very late for our dinner) we were treated with such kindness and care. The service was impeccable and the food simply gorgeous. The interior is simple but very thought through, and the lighting and music just perfect for a lovely dinner and good conversation. We also had a lovely chat with the owner. Surprisingly enough, he seems to know a lot about Finnish mythology...
I am not local but will hopefully have a chance to return many times! This place is an absolute gem and run by people who truly care about the quality of the experience they provide for their customers. Would give six stars if it was possible!
Food was yummy and the service attentive and very polite. The noodles were cooked to the perfect point and the meat was tasty and tender, same as the egg.
Pricewise it's a bit pricey for a weekday option, as drinks are not cheap and there is an extra service charge to be added at the top of the bill.
Worth a try!
Great ramen and atmosphere! Char siu is excellent, nice and crispy on the outside.
Best noodle bar ever! Service was quick, friendly and the food was next level incredible!
Thank you soo much! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨🎊🎉🙏🏽
Really good ramen with great veggie options. Broccoli and fries both seriously excellent as sides, and staff super friendly. Highly recommended. Currently BYOB but that will apparently change soon - sake would make a strong addition!

The food here is absolutely delicious. That being said, when we went, they had run out of a number of things. However, I believe that this may be because I went quite late in the day. Also, the staff was extremely friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere.
Walked in to enjoy a really good bowl of Ramen, and I would happily return. I feel like they got their core product (Ramen) very good but need to thing about other finishing touches, like a better drinks menu. There is a good wine menu but that's just not really my thing with Ramen. Perhaps get some snacks on the menu which can come out really fast and a good selection of soft drinks included on the menu too. There's also a LOT of Roku gin branded things, it's a good match for sponsorship bit the execution isn't elegant. I suppose the place felt a bit like the food should be cheaper. But at the end of the day I really did very much enjoy the food and will return in a few months.
Couldn’t rate this highly enough. 6 stars. Lovely clean ramen broth, with perfect noodles. Pork and salmon were both perfect. Chicken karaage was some of the best fried chicken I’ve had. Can’t wait to return.
