Reykjavík changes pretty fast. If you don’t stop to read our New In Town once in a while, you could miss it.
Ramen Momo
Bankastræti 8
Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 11:30-21:00, Weekends from 12:00-21:30
For ten years, Ramen Momo founder and head chef Kunsang Tsering ran his hole-in-the-wall eatery on Tryggvagata, along with his wife Erna Pétursdóttir. The first of its kind in Iceland, the ramen house won a loyal contingent of local foodies, despite the original location only having seats for eight guests at a time. The recently opened second location at Bankastræti 12 adds more room to feast on the best ramen in town — and now you’ll be able to stretch your arms without accidentally smacking the person next to you.

With wares including jewelry, apparel, decorative domes and spicy adult toys, their products are ever changing and unique, making it the place to get a truly one-of-a-kind item.
