Located in the heart of Birnam, less than 10 minutes from Sandton, Asian Herbivore has quickly become a go-to spot for ramen lovers, foodies, and anyone curious about bold flavors without compromise. Inspired by the rich food cultures of Japan, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, and beyond, our menu blends tradition with innovation to bring you unforgettable dishes.

With manga-inspired walls and a playful, anime-driven atmosphere, we offer a unique ramen experience featuring broths simmered for hours, fresh ramen noodles, and signature sauces. Whether you’re after comforting classics or fiery spice, every bowl is crafted to awaken your senses.

From mild to spicy, our ramen lineup brings serious heat — without the meat. Choose from signature creations like our Spicy Sichuan Ramen, Taiwanese “Beefy” Ramen (100% plant-based), and Soup and Saucy Ramen styles. Not a spice fan? No problem — we’ve got rich, flavorful broths and light, refreshing options too.

OUR REVIEWS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • My husband and I visited out of curiosity, as neither of us are vegetarian or vegan. We wanted to see if we’d enjoy a meatless meal just as much - and it completely blew us away! The flavors were even better than many of the traditional Asian dishes we've had that include meat. It was so good, we actually prefer this place over any other Asian restaurant we've tried.

  • Amazing food and I love that I can order absolutely anything on the menu as a vegetarian! Ordered twice through mr D, such wonderful presentment. The takeaway containers and packaging is so unusual and aetherically pleasing. The food is absolutely delicious and unique, we loved everything we tried. This place was a gem of a find and will support them more and more. Cant wait to try it out in person!

  • One of my best meals in SA!! Asian Herbivore is an absolute gem!! Absolutely Amazing place across the board from the decor, the music etc.. The space is impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—it's clear they prioritize quality and flavor. The owner and the staff are friendly, attentive, and truly make the dining experience special!!

We didn’t start Asian Herbivore because we wanted a restaurant. We started it because we wanted more time back. From late-night corporate work and constant travel… to resigning with no safety net… to building a brand on PowerPoin
