Why Go

Named after the famous naruto fish cake that spirals through Japanese ramen and the anime character that brought it to global fame, Naruto Sushi Ramen on Welfare Road brings focused Japanese-inspired cooking to the Cole Bay corridor. The dual sushi-and-ramen identity is the key: two pillars of Japanese cuisine that complement each other perfectly, each one fresh, satisfying, and built for the kind of comfort that a day in the Caribbean sun demands.

The Experience

Welfare Road at 69 in Koolbaai places Naruto in the same restaurant corridor as IZI Italian and La Perle Bleu French, adding Japanese to a stretch that already covers Italian and French dining. The sushi program features fresh rolls, nigiri, and sashimi, while the ramen menu offers beef, chicken, pork belly, and shrimp variations — each built on properly developed broth with toppings that add texture and depth. Stir-fried udon noodles, fried rice, and other Asian dishes round out a menu that covers the major Japanese-inspired categories. At $$ pricing with hours extending to 11 PM most days, Naruto provides both value and late-night availability. The Monday dinner-only schedule (5 PM start) gives the kitchen a gentler start to the week, while Tuesday through Sunday runs from noon to 11 PM for full-day coverage.

What to Try

The pork belly ramen is the benchmark — rich broth, tender pork, properly cooked noodles, and the right toppings make or break any ramen restaurant. For sushi, ask about the day's fresh catches. Stir-fried udon provides a different noodle texture if you want variety after ramen.

Insider Tip

Welfare Road at 69 is in the Cole Bay section near the villa rental offices. Naruto's late hours (until 11 PM) make it one of the few Asian restaurants open for a genuinely late dinner. Monday's later start (5 PM) means dinner-only on that day. If you are comparing Japanese restaurants, Naruto's ramen program is its strongest differentiator from the sushi-focused options.
