A new ramen bar has opened in Valletta and judging by the rave reviews already, it is set to continue building on the amazing Asian dining experiences in Malta.

YUGTO is a casual ramen and Thai restaurant in Old Theatre Street, where you can take a seat right on the open street and enjoy some incredible Asian flavours while surrounded by the historical city.

They specialise in ramen, with beef, chicken and pork flavours available, however, they offer much more than that.

One of their signature dishes is a must try for anyone who visits – Argentinian fillet with Shimeji mushroom and a refined Bulgogi sauce. 

Everyone knows sharing is caring, and that’s why their asian tapas – which include incredibly soft steamed dumplings and melt-in-your-mouth duck buns – are turning into a hit. 

And pairing the dishes with a unique craft beer, which the restaurant stocks, is a recipe for a great meal

A rarity for ramen bars, YUGTO also offer insane lamb dishes, bringing flavours from around the world together under one roof.

Whether you’ll be sharing with some friends, heading there on a romantic date, or just catching some incredible flavours, nothing can beat sitting down in such an iconic street with a rare craft beer and some beautiful asian BBQ ribs.
