Charshu Ramen with Tonkotsu (Pork) Soup Base @ $10 AUD |
Apparently the so called " Best Ramen in Melbourne". Had to give a try to see whether they deserve the title.
There weren't much to choose as they have limited varieties. Mainly Ramens, Bento Boxes, Gyoza and Salad.
Our aim was to try out their Ramen so most of us had Ramens. There were three different soup bases: Tonkotsu (Pork), Shoyu (Chicken & Soy) or Miso. Most of us had Tonkotsu since it was highly recommended.
Gyoza Ramen with Tonkotsu (Pork) Soup Base @ S10 AUD |
Ramen served with Gyozas, Half a Boiled Egg, Kamaboko (Fish Cake), Spring Onions, Bamboo Shoots, Pickles and Seaweed as toppings. Ramen, Gyozas and Soup were decent, nothing great.
Tsukune Ramen with Miso Soup Base @ $10 AUD |
Same toppings but with Tsukune (Minced Chicken) instead. My friend decided to try the Miso soup base but it was really a bad choice. Soup was bland and tasteless.
Charshu Ramen with Tonkotsu (Pork) Soup Base @ $10 AUD |
Their house specialty. Would say its their best dish. The Charshu (Pork Slices) were finely sliced. Had a good mouthfeel to it. Soup and Ramen were average, nothing special. Had better ones elsewhere.
Chicken Katsu Curry Bento @ $10 AUD |
My friend was rather hungry so he decided to get a Bento Set. The Chicken Katsu Curry Bento came with a choice of Salad or Miso Soup and a cup of Japanese Tea which totals up to $14 AUD. Curry was too salty and color was off as it looked burnt. Chicken Katsu was average and the crispy layer was slightly tough. Gyoza was also average. The Salad dressing was bland. Overall it wasn't a good bento. My friend commented that it tasted like "Plane Food" which I have to agree for myself.
Japanese Tea |
Verdict (Highest-10)
Food: 5 (Food was average, would say they don't deserve the title being the best Ramen in Melbourne)
Service: 6 (Food was fast and staffs were friendly)
Ambiance: 6 (Place was comfy, nice place for a quick lunch)
Overall: 5 (Not sure what the hype was about as I find the food average)
Price: $10-12.50 AUD per main
