Hanakyo — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

An authentic ramen experience that transports you to Japan. Hanakyo Ramen offers something rare not just food, but feeling. A kind of nostalgic warmth that hits you the moment the bowl is placed in front of you. From the depth of the broth to the integrity of the chashu, every detail speaks of quiet mastery and tradition.

From the very first sip of broth, you can feel the care, precision, and tradition that goes into every bowl at Hanakyo. The ramen here is rich without being heavy, deeply savoury, and filled with the kind of warmth that only comes from a true dedication to the craft.

The chashu is perfectly balanced, tender with a slight charred edge that melts beautifully into the broth. The noodles are springy and fresh, and the seasoned egg is done with absolute care. Everything about this meal felt honest, grounded, and lovingly executed.

Hanakyo doesn’t try to be flashy. Instead, it lets the food speak. And what it says is this: “Welcome home.” For those seeking a true Japanese ramen experience without a passport, Hanakyo is a treasure.

I walked away from the table with an empty bowl and a full heart. This is easily one of the most nostalgic, authentic ramen experiences I’ve had outside Japan and a rare gem on...

I'm visiting from Melbourne, staying with my brother who lives just around the corner. It was takeaway night tonight. Wife and kids had takeaway from another place, my daughter and I decided to take a 3 minute walk to this place as we both love Japanese. It was on a Tuesday night at around 6:30pm. I had the Shoyu ramen and my daughter had the Tonkatsu rice curry and we also had the pan fried prawns gyoza for entree, not sure what all the other low star reviews were on about the taste, look, everyone has different taste buds and different preferences as to what should taste good or not, everyone has a right to there opinion. For me and my daughter we absolutely enjoyed the food and would come back. It's a small place, you come busy time, of course it's going to be busy, just like any other place, after seeing how they prepare the food, they take personal care in prepping the food, yes, it might take a little longer sometimes, but it is what it is. I have no issues with this place, first impressions...

We are staying down near the Gold Coast and dinner time since we are on a mini break treated the family to some Japanese ramen

This placed popped up during a quick search and so happy we found this hidden gem, snuck in behind the main road and next to a servo.

It was only a 12 minute drive from where we are staying. Friendly staff and even better exceptional ramen. This has to be our favourite place for ramen.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like home, greeted warmly

We had to grab a bigger table since there was 6 of us, no problems just shifted 2 tables

We ordered the following tonkotsu with seaweed Spicy tonkotsu Shio tonkotsu Curry rice katsu Karrage chicken Edamame beans

Everything was great, the Spicy was spot on evenly balanced, Wife had the tonkotsu with seaweed and she was impressed and now her favourite ramen also.

Must visit if you want ramen that is made with love and care, as they say, Hanakyo - Japanese ramen with a dedication to soup...
