I have been looking for good pork soup ramen. Soup base of tonkotsu ramen is great here, but the pork is a bit too much fat too me. Noodle texture is also good. I'd definitely rate Ryo over this though.

Ramen was awful, tasted like chicken fat. I don't know how their other stuff is, the ramen was so bad that I thought about never going back, but gave it another chance later and tried the Tonkotsu, which was watery and tasteless. Avoid this place!

Agree with the previous post. Ramen Tei is owned by the Chinese BBQ shop next door after their failure attempt of a Thai food outfit before. Though food is ok and not bad, the serve persons should drop the greetings to customers in Japanese as they are Chinese, or other Asian nationalists definitely not Japanese.

Edible but not satisfying. The food looks better than it tastes. Ramen is far from authentic, more like a Chinese noodle soup forgery of Japanese ramen. Serving size is generous, and appropriately priced (roughly $10 per dish). However, I don't think I will even bother coming back to try the non-ramen dishes because I am almost certain that the best they can offer is average.
The staff are polite and efficient, but I think they should drop the act with greeting customers in Japanese, especially since the food is a dead giveaway that Ramen Tei is not an authentic Japanese - run restaurant.

I don't expect Ramen places to be decent when they're not staffed by Japanese and this place does nothing to change that. Had the Tokyo ramen which was salty, noodles were ok but the broth was poor. Egg overcooked, ingredients were ok, gyoza passable. I only came in here once when I was new in town and never went back. Might try their tonkotsu according to schellack but I have my doubts. Price is ok and the setting is pretty decent.
*Update. Tried the Tonkotsu yesterday. The gyoza was remarkably better on this occasion as well. According to my mate, his curry rice was fine. My tonkotsu was a garlic fest though, designed to kill vampires within a short radius. It certainly looked about right and I like my garlic, I'm just not so sure tonkotsu needs quite that much. Still, the chashu seems a touch overcooked even if the fat melted well.
Decent meal for the money.

This is one of mine and my boyfriend's favourite restaurants for a quick and delicious Japanese meal. Some of the ramen can be quite nice, but most are bland and filling. We usually order something different like the yakisoba, karaage don or curry rice. The gyoza and green tea ice cream with red bean are my favourite parts, while the meal in between is usually both delicious and filling. All in all, a very nice "fast food" alternative, and very tasty if you order something other than the ramen.

The space is fairly simple but clean, and one can't help being intrigued by the long horse-shoe shaped counter towards the back of the restaurant. Patrons sit around the outside of the horse-shoe while waitresses shuffle up the narrow middle to serve food. A fittingly Japanese conception, most surely.
I am a fiend for tonkotsu ramen and immediately ordered it without much regard for anything else on the menu. Happily, it was one of the best bowls of tonkotsu ramen I've had in Sydney. Decadently rich and creamy with pork collagen, the broth was liquid silk in the mouth. Noodles too were perfect, with just the right amount of springiness. Two thin slices of deliciously fatty and tender pork belly had to be rationed as I ploughed through my ramen, but there was still plenty of sweet corn, bean sprouts, shoga and pickled bamboo shoot topping to keep me happy.
Finally, and although they annoyingly only arrived by the time I'd almost finished my ramen, five plump, meaty gyoza made a fine accompaniment to the meal.
EDIT: Went back last weekend to try the other ramens. I tried the shio (salt-flavour) ramen, and my sister had the Tokyo-style ramen. The broth in both were disappointingly much less flavourful then the tonkotsu I tried first time around. Oh well, tonkotsu only from now on, I guess!!

It was one of those days when I had a craving for ramen and my first port of call, Ryos, was closed. So we decided to check out this new place and what a disappointment it turned out to be. The soup for the ramen was sort of bland and totally un-memorable. Funny thing was the normal stuff that you'd expect to come with the ramen had to be ordered as toppings and they don't come cheap either. My verdict: you won't miss anything if you decide to skip this place.
