Great, casual, laid back and healthy food. Love the falafel wraps, just wished they were a tad bigger (but still such great quality) as they are so tasty.

After reading the reviews I was worried that this place would cost an arm and a leg, but actually it was ok value and great food. We just free styled about 7 orders from the menu, not the set order. We got loads of dishes including great sashimi, some of the expensive wagu (real good) and then a few of the cheaper beefs (OK).

Also the duck was a pleasant surprise. We left totally stuffed full of meat. With a large hot sake and plumb wine it was $170, ok, so thats not exactly cheap but ok for a great meal, cooking experience and quality ingredients. Also good, polite service.

Eaten here a few times and also got takeaway. Would not go so far to say food is world class (but I don't think any Brits would rate Indian food in Oz as good as home) but it is OK and service is always friendly and appreciative which goes a long way.

I've had the jalfrezi and vindaloo and both were pretty good. There is a nice chap who must manage the place who is always happy to chat, ensure the food is OK and brought a complimentary ice cream when I ordered take away. Good value also. Would recommend for a cheap and tasty no frills Ruby Murray.

Surprised by the current score of 5.4 as this is my favorite of the 'gourmet' (i.e. expensive) pizza places in Bondi. Good selection of toppings. The seafood one is nice (some pescatoe name I think) and the spicy ones are good also. Thin base but never greasy. Bit expensive for XL ($20 - $25) but ingredients always fresh.
Home delivery experiences are average (40 minutes) but still warm. When I pick up they have under estimated the wait (i.e. ready in 10 minutes) but I now know to turn up later to avoid a 5 minutes wait.

Taken here by girlfriend for special dinner. OK, but not great the greatest considering the price. Unfortunately, we did not get a seat that could take advantage of the fantastic views across the harbor, in fact the seat was right next to the till so was a little distracting. Unfortunate, as there seemed to be better seats available.

We both ordered the $90 set menu. Thankfully, overall the food was good. The freshness and taste of the sushi and oysters was stand out. In fact it may have been the best sushi I've had in Sydney. The other courses were OK but fortunately there are out of the 9 or 10 courses 2 are pretty substantial (tuna steak and lamb chops, both delish) so felt nicely full.

Wine is OK priced, so with beer to start (Sapporo on draft - very nice), $65 bottle of Pinot Noir and some dessert wine the bill was about $300). Would have scored higher if we had got a decent seat and view.

Good food, fantastic value. I've been a ramen regular in Bondi Junctions Ramen Kan and I never thought that their tan tan ramen could be beaten but Ichiban Boshi gives em a run for their money. Ambience is not great, but then for these great prices its going to be a bit canteen style. Good menu too, all the regulars and some nice twists, look forward to returning soon.

Another of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the Bondi Junction area. Have eaten here several times and always left happy. The beef tatake is awesome and the sashimi is always fresh and delicious. We always get a nice complimentary mini-entree which is a nice touch. There is some pleasant seating out back of the restaurant but be sure to book this place in advance as its not always possible to walk in and eat.

If you like simple Japanese ramen noodles then this place is for you. Ramen Kan has a pretty good selection of entrees, ramen and udon noodles and rice dishes.
The food is great, especially the spicy tan tan ramen and the service is always quick and friendly. If you come at peak time then you may have to wait a few minutes for a table, but if there is only 2-4 people then its never long. Great value, most dishes are between $10 - $14. One of my favorite places in Sydney.
