Peko Peko

Best customer service! The host gave us a brief introduction to the restaurant and the history, then our server took our orders and answered all questions. He was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. We were four of us and ordered the shio ramen, taiwan hot and spicy and two vegan spicy. All were delicious and filling! The ambience at the restaurant is also lovely.

This place is incredible. The waiters take their time and are extremely informative and make sure you’re gonna get the meal that you want just for you. They also have a robot to bring your food out. This is probably the best meal I’ve had in four years of living in Puerto Rico And I don’t know what is better the service or the food.

went a thrusday night and only had about 20min wait. the place is pretty small so i always anticipate a wait. theres no parking but the food truck park next door has parking, which is convinient. the noodles are made in house which you can taste and feel. ive never had such rich noodles before. i got the niku-suki ramen while my friend had the kurimi & spicy. both were so delicious we were silenced mid conversation by the food haha. the waiter explained the name of the restaurant is like a Japanese onomatopoeia for an empty stomach. arguably one of the most creative names ive ever heard for a ramen shop. definetly recommend this place if youre in santurce area.

Definitely try the spicy vegan it was perfection. Went for a lunch break and a delicious meal. From the sake to the karaage to the ramen everything tasted amazing. They even had a robot deliver the food to our table! Only downside was that resulted in me and my friend to eat the wrong soups as no one explained to us which was who’s😆. Will definitely come back. Parking in the area is tight so be ready to walk up an appetite.

One of the most balanced and delicious ramen bowl ever. We were informed that they make all the ingredients inhouse, wow! Their sake based cocktails were also great.

I had a really awesome experience with my friends we order some Japanese beers that were good. Appetizer and the Ramen (shoyu, kurimi & Niku suki ) were really delicious and the service of our server Andres was very good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars to this beautiful people for an outstanding job

Ramen was great. I had a spicy one, can't remember the name. I loved their noodles. I will definitely be back

Best ramen place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. They have various ramen bowl options, from traditional ingredients, to more exotic, local combinations. Also if you are in a group where some people like spicy and others like it more mild, you can ask the server to adjust each bowl to each preference

Excellent RAMEN! Nice flavor, waiters very attentive and very polite. Family atmosphere. Fast service. And the homemade juices are very good!

Peko Peko came highly recommended, so tried it for a late lunch. Started with the Karage which is their Japanese crispy chicken and it was so good we ordered a second order. While waiting for entrees, I was surprised to see a robot waiter delivering foods to other table. Interesting! For entree, I ordered the PakoMen. It was plentiful, and I almost ate it all. Adding egg to it was a good call but it would have been fine without it.

The food was good. Everything was fresh. Ordered the fried chicken appetizer and the Ramen. I ordered take out and watched people who came in after me receive their meals faster. Again, the staff was apologetic. I would eat here again.

Food (5/5 stars): Our collective favorite food is ramen, so we had to try Peko Peko in San Juan. I don't usually get Shoyu Ramen but really enjoyed it. My 3 highlights were the egg, noodles, and broth. The ramen egg was runny and cooked to perfection. I loved the thinness of the noodles and the broth had such a nice light, umami flavor that I don't get with my typical tonkotsu broth. The meat was great but so thinly sliced, leaving me wanting more. Overall, delicious bowl of ramen! Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: pretty expensive * Wait Time: minimal for a party of 2 on a Saturday for dinner * Service: a little slow at first but overall good and friendly * Parking: street parking was super tough, so we parked in a lot that costed $3 * Ambiance: it's a very nice, modern restaurant!

Best ramen i ever had! They have a good variety of Ramen. Possibly a bit more wine selection. The service was really good as well.100% recomended!

First, we arrived at the parking lot recommended by the restaurant personnel and they charged $7 and the rest indicated they had a one hour credit. No credit was given. They do not have local beers or sodas, japanese beers start at $15. The noddles of the four ramen we had were partially uncooked. I do not plan on returning .

Extremely expensive with arrogant waiters. First of all will say food was amazing but it's sill ramen and fried chicken. Ordered some edamame as an appetizer and a beer. That's it! And it was $84 plus tip.... so spending $100 in ramen is outrageous. At then end of the meal we asked the waiter if they had desserts, he scuffed and said "no, this is a ramen shop". Been to many ramen shops and they normally have mochi... but ok. They don't, the attitude was uncalled for. I will say that like literally next door there is a phenomenal ice cream place, Peccas, maybe the can colab and sell their ice cream in their "ramen shop".

Had dinner here with my family. Yes, it is a bit on the pricy side for sure ($22 per bowl, and drinks are expensive too), but we had a good experience. Food was great and service was great. It is a popular place, very close to the Mirimar food truck park.

We had a great evening eating dinner at Peko Peko. We started with a Parcharindo Shoko and Guayaba to cool down with the Korrokes de jamón. We had the San Juan Trio Mazemen and Mazemen for the main course. Excellent!

Food was very tasty. I loved the Oshare Mazenen, a brothless ramen with garlic and parmesan sauce, chicken and pork chashu, egg, and veggies. I had never had brothless ramen before so that was nice. My husband's Kurimi and Spicy Ramen was also good, although I thought it was too creamy for my taste. Overall, our appetizers were also good. Our favorite were the shishito peppers. As for the Krazy Kani, which were tostones with spicy kani, tuna, and avocado, we thought it was okay. Nothing wow. I also liked the Chicha Morada and Chicha Shoko. They were two drinks. The Chicha Morada was non-alcoholic, the Chicha Shoko had alcohol. It tasted similar to sangria. As good as the food was, I didn't like the extremely slow service. We waited over an hour outside when originally we were told 30min. After we were seated, it took nearly another hour for our food to arrive. Customers would finish eating and even after the table was cleaned, it would sit there vacant for a while before somebody from outside was called in. Not sure what was up with that. It was frustrating. Good thing the food was very good. Also, the ramen here is pricier than at other restaurants that serve ramen in PR.

had the creamy and spicy ramen tomato and onion based sauce not too creamy broth home made noodles service was quick had the edamame appetizer very good ate outside clean

Parking is along the Main Street or on the side street in-between the food trucks and the restaurant. We made a reservation which was fulfilled on time. The servers were attentive with filling up water glasses and removing items from the table. The drinks are expensive which is understandable due to the importing fees... both the sake and Japanese beers tasted fresh and were tasty. The soup took 1.5 hours.... This was crazy to all of us for many reasons. The restaurant isn't that big, the meat in the soup looks similar to the slices of meat that you get inside of a lunchable, and the noodles are not authentic ramen noodles. The restaurant claims they are "authentic" however the noodles are fresh spaghetti noodles, not ramen. I tried the kurimi and spicy and the broth was heavy but maintained the perfect amount of spice. There was a slice of lemon in the ramen which is extremely unnecessary and the soft boiled eggs could've been marinated longer. I do not plan on returning for expensive inauthentic ramen.

As a vegetarian, this was one of my favorite places to eat while I was visiting the island. It's a bit more expensive than you would find on the US mainland, but I understand because it's not common in PR. While you're here check out the food truck park across the street.

Peko Peko started out a few years ago as a food truck. I believe it was in 2020 that they transitioned into the brick and mortar location they now have. It is located next to the Miramar Food Truck Park and across from the Conservatorio de Música. There is no parking, only street parking. The restaurant specializes in ramen. They have a couple of PR/Japanese fusion appetizers but the main course is only ramen. They even make their own noodles. You can even see the process from behind glass. The restaurant is very small, making it not stroller friendly. Not sure if they have a kid's menu. Our son had the Karaage which was the only item he would eat. So I guess maybe it is not that kid friendly(?), unless your kid likes ramen. Alcohol wise, they have a few beer options, wine, and sake. Try the Chicha Shoko. It is a cocktail made with sake and tastes a bit like sangria. Since it is so small, it can affect the wait time to get a table. We went on a Tuesday evening. It was an excerise in patience. The reward, though, for our patience was a delicious bowl of ramen. We checked in and were told the wait would be around 30min.... (French accent) one hour later.... We were still waiting outside. My kid fell asleep. I had to carry him and I was getting tired. We were finally seated. We started out with Krazy Kani, Shishito Peppers, and Karaage for our son who had just woken up. The shishito peppers were excellent. Some had lots of seeds which made them spicy. The Krazy Kani was decent. I've had better Asian/PR fusion dishes before elsewhere, so I wouldn't order it again. The Karaage was good. For our ramen, my wife went with the Oshare Mazemen, a brothless ramen. It was very good and the presentation was nice. The same went for my ramen, the Kurimi and Spicy. It was a thick, creamy, although not spicy (at least for my taste) broth. The noodles for both dishes were perfect. Our server (can't remember her name) was friendly. But our food did take a while to come out. We also noticed other tables waiting a lot for their food. The family next to us got their dishes one at a time. Overall, the experience was a mixed bag. The wait time to be seated and get our food was awful, but the ramen was among the best I've had in PR. That is why I am giving it 4 stars and not 3. I would eat from here again. Keep in mind, not everyone has this experience. There were some people who checked in after us and got seated before us. They certainly won't complain. The owner did go table to table apologizing for the delays. However, this seems like a running theme. I have met others with the same complaint: great ramen (although pricey), slow service. The solution they have resorted to is takeout. I know ramen (or any soup) is risky when it comes to takeout/delivery, but I think I will experiment with that next time.

I'm happy to say this is one of my favorite restaurants in Santurce. Food quality and customer service is consistent. Keep in up guys, good job

Excellent food. Best Ramen in San Juan. Service was good. Parking available in the area.

A good vibe, and I came on a big holiday here in San Juan. Día de los Tres Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day or Epiphany). A bit quiet and easy to get a seat - I was told by the friendly staff. Has a modern feel. Kind of a boutique coffee shop feel. Music, seats, the staff working right in front preparing your ramen. The ramen is very good! Thought difficult to find one here in San Juan. Doable. And the Karage, yummy. A bit salty, but these days, I am reducing on salt, and hence could be the reason.

Parking was challenging and the ramen was obscenely expensive but it was so worth it. My favorite Ramen when I lived in Japan was Tenkaippin and the Kurumi and Spicy I ordered was as close as I could have imagined. Perfect and thanks Chef for getting it so right.

I went to this place for the first time with my partner. The noodles here are out of this world, you also get to jam to awesome japanese tunes while eating. Definitely recommend this one for all the noodle lovers out there.

Came from Caguas because I was craving ramen. I loved it, it was amazing!!! Amazing flavor, seasoned well and even my toddler enjoyed her kid ramen version!

Wow, didn't expect that. Yummy ramen in PR. The broth is clear, fresh and flavorful. Both of our ramen choices has very distinctive broth. The price is a little pricey but their setting is aiming to higher marker IMO. After eating a lot of fried stuffs in pR, a bowl with right on point broth is a cure to us.

Yummy Ramen and good service! Had a party of 6 and were sat pretty quickly. The Edamame is creative and grilled... highly recommend.

Llevo viniendo a peko peko desde que abrio hace unos año. El servicio era excelente. No se que les paso pero ahora son extremadamente lentos con el servicio. No solo eso, cada vez que uno llama o le hace señas a un mesero te ignora. Siempre que vendo es la misma situacion. Hoy que vine a encontrarme con una amiga, como mi amiga no habia llegado no quisieron sentarme en una mesa. Me dijeron que me iban a asegurar la mesa para cuando mi amiga llegara nos pudieran sentar. Mi amiga llego, y cuando entramos para que nos sentaran ya habian sentado a una pareja en la mesa que nos habian "asegurado". Esperamos una hora para que nos sentaran. No me fui por que tenia hambre. Pero que pena pagar por un ramen que ni ya lo hacen como antes. P.s. Los platos principales no los traen a la vez como deberia ser. Asi que les recomiendo que si le traen su ramen, no esperes a que traigan el ramen de los demas en tu mesa porque se te va enfriar el plato. PESIMO SERVICIO.

The best Ramen Soup in Puerto Rico. The broth is very tasty and the noodles are incredible. Very friendly staff and enough space. I recommend stirring all the soup and eating it with passion.

The restaurant follows all Covid protocols, staff was very friendly and space is amazing. Food was yummy and was served very quick. Drinks are also good, but wished for a bigger selection of them. One of the best ramens I've had in Puerto Rico, definitely will come again.

Peko Peko, which means "The Sound of Hunger" in Japanese, is more then a ramen shop, it is an amazing and delicious experience that I really recommend. The place is beautiful, and they are following all COVID-19 guidelines. As a vegetarian in Puerto Rico I can say that this place has something to offer for everyone. I had the vegetarian version of the Vegan Paitan and my partner had the Oshare Mazemen, my dish was delicious, I really really liked it, my partner reported his plate was super yum. For drinks we had the Chicha Morada and it was so good we had two portions. Service was fast, professional and attentive, really informed about the menu, and about what can the restaurant offer you. The main chef checked on the tables as well, and asked how was everything, that's a beautiful gesture we no longer see in restaurants, and I mean like, even before COVID. There's plenty of parking in the street and the area is really safe as it is nearby other restaurants and consignments that are located within the same area.

Surpassed my expectations, the ramen was delicious! The waiter was also extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

Best Ramen. Not only in Puerto Rico , but in general. Can't wait to come back Friendly staff. And delicious food and beer. Extremely impressed

Good Ramen but the food is overpriced and the kitchen and service very slow. A dinner for two without drinks cost us $70. Honestly, if you want good Ramen Puerto Rico is not the place. Wait until you get stateside!

If you are vegan i dont recommend you eat here. The vegan options lack protein (just a few whole mushrooms) . The veggies where not cooked properly. I asked for the vegan mazemen they bought me the meat one. It was the last dish to arrive at our table so I didnt have them redo it, I just had some of my bf's vegan ramen. So we where charged for a plate we didnt ordered . The kid loved his meaty ramen so maybe its the vegan dishes they need to master. I doubt the noodles where homemade- we wont be coming back.

Awesome ramen, especially because of the noodles they make themselves, and the coconada (coconut water and lemonade) seems like a weird combination but it's really tasty

I have a high tolerance for spicy food and even with the addition of spice twice at extra cost (thrice, considering that this is already supposed to be spicy)--it still wasn't spicy enough. But it was delicious, and that is what this rating is about. The noodles seemed fresh, the broth was thick and creamy, and the meat wasn't too heavy. I finished the entire bowl. A bit on the pricier side, but a worthy occasional indulgence. (I paid $26 for just this bowl after the two spice add-ons and taxes)

We had a poor experience here. We put down our name and phone number. The host said it could take from 15 mins to an hour with a wink of the eye, weird. We waited right outside the glass windows for about an hour, never received a text or a call and people kept coming and kept getting seated. It wasn't too busy on a weekday afternoon. We thought, maybe they got the text and so came back to be seated or they had a reservation, which we couldn't figure out from their website how to make one. Before walking away, we went in to check and our name wasn't on the list! The host looks at me puzzled. No apologies, just a straight no worries follow me! The ramen was fine, noodles felt a bit hard and undercooked in one.

Will you spend $20-25 on a bowl of ramen? Yes. Will that bowl of ramen be outstanding and without a doubt the best you'll find in all of PR (and even many cities outside PR). Also YES! Worth the price tag, worth the trip.

Went in today 1/8/22 and waited one hour for 2 bowls of ramen. The restaurant was not super busy either. The ramen noodles did not taste fresh at all, i was not even to even half my bowl before giving up and leaving to get something else instead. For $25 you'd think they will serve you the best ramen in town, but the quality and attention to flavor that ramen needs is just not there. Only silver lining is that the servers were nice and attentive.

If I could give 0. I would. The WORST customer service ever. I have multiple people and they all tell me the same, 0 attention to the client and the are really just the worst personalities there.

1 hour waiting on my food, its Ramen how hard it is. Don't even waste your time. And that's not all is expensive as hell.

Never got the chance to try the food, but the way tables are given is kind of shady, was told I'll wait around 40 minutes and left the area(waiting area is the outside sidewalk) after 1 hour cause I was told there's still 3 people ahead of me and I saw 2 people scratched from the list above me. Hopefully I'll try the food one day and can give a better review!

My experience was terrible, I was waiting about one hour outside due to the long line, and an hour and 20 minutes for the food. One of the orders was wrong, the second one was terrible which I didn't eat. The waitress was not attentive at all to the table and was very rude, not concerned at all about the fact that a whole bowl of soup was not touched. To be honest I would not recommend and all these places to anyone.

This is a food truck that I have been seeing since its inception and through the pictures posted made it even more exciting than Christmas morning presents.

Worst ramen I've ever tried. Over priced, over noodles, almost no vegetables in a vegan option. Bad flavor.

Extremely expensive for a bowl of soup. We were 4. One appetizer, 4 ramen bowls, 4 beers and a small bottle of sake was $259.00 tip included. Soup was good but not that $$$ good

Healthy. Large portions. Excellent hospitality. The chef's passionate about his craft. The most authentic ramen I've ever had. I never think twice about recommending it.
