Good dishes! Cute little space, first Melbourne dish I had coming officially from nz here in 2024 literally a year ago so will somewhat be a special place! Pretty standard for what you get, the dish, the toppings etc! Yum, decent portion, okay average cost!

The food, service & atmosphere was all impeccable. The broth was light and glossy, noodles freshly made, the meat was tender and egg perfectly cooked. I added beef brisket to my pork ramen and it was great. Couldn’t recommend more! Ps if you don’t like queueing - defo get there a bit earlier.

We tried because this is one of the more popular ramen places in Collingwood/Fitzroy area. Unfortunately it failed to live up to her reputation. They’re good for light flavoured broth - soy and salt. I generally prefer pork bone broth and so perhaps that is why I prefer them less. Consider adding the garlic/chilli bomb for the extra flavour. The pork belly was also not the best but it’s not the worst. Ramen egg was well cooked though.

Had the shoyu ramen! The noodles were nice and chewy and not too doughy, the pork was the best as it did melt in the mouth, I just wished the mushrooms were less bitter. Prices for ramen were a bit expensive as this was $25. Definitely don’t go on the weekend 6% surcharge or public holiday 15%. Card surcharge is 1.5%

From memory, the ramen here leans on the shoyu (soy-based) style, and the crowd was mostly Western when I visited. Back then it already felt pricey, and now at $24.50 a bowl, it’s not too bad value-wise — but you’d expect soy ramen to come in at a less premium price point. That said, the broth was refreshing and lighter than your heavier ramen styles. The noodle texture was standard but solid, and the meat was cooked well, no major complaints there. The setup used to be communal seating in the middle, which could get pretty compact unless they’ve since added more tables. What stood out is that they use higher-end sourced ingredients you wouldn’t normally find in a traditional ramen — feels like it’s been tailored more to the Brunswick market and Western palate. Also tried the pork bao, which was honestly more like a veggie bao — barely any protein inside, and mostly just plain white bun bread to chew through. Pretty disappointing.
