Customer Reviews
“ We went on a Monday around lunchtime, close to their closing time, and they were still very welcoming and friendly, helping us choose our dishes with patience. The music was pleasant and not too loud, and parking was easy to find. I ordered the Soy Tonkotsu Ramen and my husband had the Yokohama Eak Ramen — both were absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the pork was tender, melt-in-your-mouth soft, and not fatty at all. I’m definitely coming back to try more options. Highly recommend it! ”
“ The food here is fantastic. They have a "try 3 different things" plate that is only $20. We tried the spicy ramen, regular creamy one, karage chicken, raw salmon sashimi, and raw fish eggs on rice. Everything was fresh and delicious. My only criticism was the portions are pretty small, so if your a bloke you have to order an additional dish. The beer on-tap is really nice too That being said, the size of the other ramens bowls for full-size and full pay looked gigantic, so I would opt for one of them if youre hungry. Overall I really enjoyed and loved the food though. Plus the staff are really friendly. ”
“ we had amazing wagyu lunch . thank you so much ryuji san. great atmosphere great survive great food. lady who serving us was super friendly. definitely coming back soon！！ ”
“ Simply delicious! Lots of food options and great quality food. Loved the salad and beef bbq, kids had ramen which tasted much better than from another restaurant two days ago. Such a treat after a swim session. ”
“ Edit: I want to give this place one stars so people stop coming here because this is the best ramen joint on the Gold coast and if we don't book ahead then you sometimes just can't get a seat for the night. I love this ramen. Yum! What a sweet spot in Southport. Great location and cute restaurant. We got the dinner special where you can choose three items from a limited menu and damn it was good. Great pricing for the quality of food. Ramen broth was delicious, so full of flavour and piping hot. Noodles firm and pork was tender. Got the fried chicken or I guess karaage maybe, which was juicy. My partner got the pork dumplings and I got the chashu rice bowl. The rice bowl could have done with a bit less soy in the sauce, needed to be a bit sweeter or maybe added kewpie on top but it was very yum. Service was efficient although food took a little longer than expected but that's fine, they were pumping for a Tuesday night. Will definitely be back for a full bowl of ramen asap ! ”
“ What difficult is to pick only one or two from their menu. From ramen, gyoza, curry, grill. All looks good! Great menu selection. ”
“ Food here is absolutely INCREDIBLE! And good value for money! I always think I’m going to try something new but I always go back to the Chilli Coriander Ramen, Vegetable Tempura and the Deep Fried Prawn Gyoza’s! They are just too good to try anything else! Will always be back! Thank you so much! 10/10 ”
