One of the better tan tan ramen's that I've had. Edamame was salted well although a little rubbery. Interesting entrance, entering the restaurant for the first time is a nice surprise. Not quite as good as Ichi-Ban Boshi but Great value and I'll definitely be back.

Really fantastic Japanese food for a good price, portions are generous, staff are friendly and although it's a little small the restaurant has a great ambience. Lunch specials in particular are awesome value.

The entrance was hard to find, but other than that, the atmosphere was great. However, the meal seemed rushed because the waiters urged us to finish our meal quicker so guests waiting for seats could come and eat. The food was great, but missing a few elements such as the broth that usually comes with tempura. Service was not at its best, as waiters did not notice customers wanting to be served. Value was the best part of their restaurant, with cheap meals not exceeding $20, although their cake BYO policy for Birthdays are quite harsh, charging $2 pp.

I tried the ramen this time. The ramen taste good. However, I still think that kaisen-don is the best LOL

It wasn't great but it has no changed. Within the last month I have now been twice. It's great to dine with friends as you can BYO and not rush. Other ramen places aren't really for dining in. However if you do want good ramen go to Menya.

Absolutely love the food here! Especially the Kaisen-don. The lunch deals are great for value. One of my most favourite Japanese restaurants.

The ramen flavor wasn't bad but 4 little pieces of fried chicken for $7+ is steep. Generally this restaurant is not generous with their servings.

This place is quite hidden. We entered the restaurant using the lift which was a laugh. It was so slow you’d think you were reaching for the 100th floor. The lift summoning buttons are odd as the actual press buttons and display buttons are mixed up. Design flaw or being unique?

Once inside it’s quite cosy. The restaurant caters nicely to individual and group diners. The waitresses diligently run around with the large ipad or ipad-like ordering system swinging on their backs.

Our drink orders arrived quickly followed shortly by our bowls of ramen. I noticed that both our water cups were chipped and although the jagged appearance can be overlooked, the hygiene factor is more concerning.

The Tonkotsu ramen broth was most satisfying being rich and creamy. Next time, I would request for ginger slices to be omitted or placed aside as the thin coarse texture and dry heat of the ginger did not match well with the smooth noodle. I would also let my boiled egg sit there and soak up the flavour more before consuming. The wooden spoon used to sip broth was, unfortunately, quite dirty with black build-up indicating where the unwashed part was.

Our drink choices of lychee home made soft drink complimented the hot soup noodle well. I look forward to trying their other flavours. In terms of dessert, I was quite satisfied and opted against eating green tea or black sesame ice cream.

Service was efficient, nonintrusive and with a slight communication hiccup beyond the common menu names. But we can guarantee our waitress now understands the phrase “water as well”. The cost is highly reasonable and a decent meal and drink costs around $15 per person, and a meal ending with dessert no more than $20.

Overall I was most satisfied with the food and would definitely recommend the place to those craving a bowl of hearty and tasty ramen. I look forward to revisiting this and their Bondi Junction and Chatswood restaurants.
