Fast rich and hearty

Nice to find this place after recently leaving japan! Not quite as cheap as Tokyo, but that’s an unfair comparison. Will definitely be back to try other flavors.

Mouth now has friends

When I booked a table here I have to admit I’d expected there’d be a bit more seating. We ended up sitting at the window (having thankfully been moved from a seat with the table too high to reach properly). We ordered a couple of snacks and a couple of mains. The kimchi was fairly standard and the corn tempura was nice enough with its creamy mayonnaise. The sunflower and hemp seed shoyu was incredibly delicious with a divine, creamy, tasty broth complemented beautifully by nori and a reasonably appetising and pleasantly textured mock pork. The tantan was also absolutely delicious and nicely spicy. Next time I’d know what to expect in terms of seating and the ramen was so good I’m not even going to penalise the restaurant for its crappy tables.

Pros: Incredible ramen

Cons: Crappy tables

Tasty vegan ramen

The 2 ramen bowls we ordered were delicious. They had a great combination of different ingredients and were visually appealing. The bowls came with a very generous portion of noodles! The pickles appetizer was a yummy way to start our lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great food, Good atmosphere

Favourite lunch spot

One of my favourite lunch spots, love going here by myself or with friends, the corn tempura & the soy miso ramen with added chilli oil are my favourites!

Pros: Entirely vegan, Authentic and flavourful ramens

Best ramen ever

Best ramen ever. Even my meathead friends were impressed.

Pros: All vegan menu

Cons: They make you order and pay from an iPad , At your table. I guess I just prefer service?, It's more friendly? But all good

Don’t miss this one

Delicious authentic-tasting ramen - made vegan! I didn’t think this place would be anywhere near as good as it actually was and was very pleasantly surprised. I also enjoyed the corn tempura.

Pros: Huge portions, Excellent quality/taste, All vegan!

Cons: On the pricier side but matches the quality

Seriously good

Cute restaurant with fantastic service and truly good ramen! The noodles are house-made, the broth of my tantanmen ramen was creamy and delicious and it was topped with plant based mince, black fungus and bok choy. The cauliflower carage was just as yummy. There is no doubt I'll be returning to try the other two ramen on the menu!

Best Ramen AU

Outstanding ramen flavour, legitimately best ramen I've had so far. Recommend the spicy tantanmen ramen and the hempseed one was pretty good too. Great ambience and the house beer was pretty delicious too. Wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Fully vegan ramen shop

With very limited choice, this ramen shop makes sure that every ramen is up to par. I had the tantanmen which comes with spicy soup. The spice kick is just right! My bowl was dry by the end of it. Gulped down the broth... yuuum. It was super yummy but the price point is pretty high.

Pros: Large portion, broth super delicious

Cons: Expensive

Delicious ramen

This place has the nicest vegan ramen I’ve had in sydney. The soup bases are rich and flavourful and serving sizes large. They have a range of starters including the karage cauliflower which was outstanding! My critique would Berne rushed dining experience of 45 minutes total time per booking including ordering etc which did not give us time to finish our food or chat. Aside from this I will be back because the food was so good!
