Another ramen joint. All within 5 min walk of one another in neutral bay. Forming the 3rd leg of the triumvirate is megumi, the other 2 being yasaka n toriichi. All at diff price points, all offering different ambience, you should be able to find 1 which suits your current preference. No secret that my 2 firm fav are yasaka n manpuku (chtswd). That said megumi isnt far behind.
Seafood broth ramen, white onion green onion spinach 1 chicken slice 1 char siu slice good ratio of ramen n broth. Speaking of which, the broth is quite unique, served hot, it is simply different (in a good way). It is not often you see spinach in a bowl of ramen, healthy i say.
Karaage tonkatsu ramen, char siu tonkatsu ramen, these are more ‘mainstream’ yet no less enjoyable (the broth). Medium creamy, flavour punch oink oink 🐷.
Prices are quite reasonable, run by japs (i cant rem the chef’s name). Go get em if you are in the area. The humble setting only reinforces where they put their $$$...
Read moreWe've been here a number of times, each visit the food was simply amazing! As most people have mentioned, the tonkotsu ramen is great and rivals some of the good ones in Tokyo, so a shame they don't have it any longer. Our favourite though is the chicken shoyu ramen. I find it harder to find a good broth that is light yet flavoursome, compared to the more popular tonkotsu. Tempura here is light and crispy, and the ebi katsu curry is also really good and a big hit with my little boy. The chicken katsu for me though, is the best dish I've had so far. I find it having just the right ratio of panko breadcrumbs and chicken, cooked to perfection and drizzled with just enough katsu sauce! We're not locals and only make the 45 minutes trip here when visiting Taronga Zoo, and is our go to place to eat. The menu here is surprisingly varied and we have lots more to try, so certainly looking forward to our...
Read moreIf you like thick broth ramen you will love this place ! This is one of my fav restaurants for ramen in Japan !
Friendly staff , creative hand drawing style menu .
$10 for the most popular tonkatsu broth ramen , I don't know where to find a proper raman in Sydney for $10 ! decent proportion comes with shallot and bamboo and two slices of grilled Char Siu but seaweed and egg are optional .
However I also ordered a egg and chicken bowl(Oya Ko Donburi) , that was a bit disappointed , it was more like a bowl of rice with sauce/soup. the chicken and egg was stir fried and sitting on top of rice . the traditional Oya Ko Donburi I know should be egg wraps chicken . Homemade Gyoza wasn't my liking , not very crispy a bit soggy .
But the ramen was mind blowing at that price ,...
