Best Ever Ramen I have in Brisbane! I order Tonkotsu ramen which cost $16.80. I like the soup base so much, it taste so rich and the pork slice is so yummy. I personally like Onsen Tomago (Ramen egg), I recommend to add extra egg, is really yum! How ever the portion is quite small compare to other Japanese ramen restaurant. Overall I will revisit again to try their other ramen!
Last time when I visited , I had a Vegan Classic Ramen. I came back today to have the Vegan Fire Ramen. I am addicted to Ramen now. The taste was awesome. One thing to keep in mind is, as the restaurant is too crowded on fridays, it is better to be available at 11:45am to avoid long queus. Happy Dining.
Came here for dinner just a minute after they had opened for their dinner service. The seats filled up quickly and food came out very fast!
I ordered the infamous tonkotsu ramen. The ramen broth had the right balance, flavourful and creamy accompanied with succulent meat and a perfect soft-boiled egg, this dish really took me back to Japan.
I've been here multiple times upon the recommendation of a friend and it grows on me everytime. High heat ramen is definitely my favourite and the kakuniku is so soft and tender. Prefect for the winter months.

Another bowl down, another name to check off my list. I genuinely enjoyed my experience at Taro’s Ramen (Queen Street). I had never been before so I didn’t really know what to expect.
Finding the restaurant was my first hurdle, I had no idea where to go until I saw the massive sign indicating the direction.
The inside of the restaurant was quite moody and cool, lots of little nooks were carved into the wall and the lighting was quite dark. I ended up sitting outside, but struggled to find a clean table.
I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and it was really good. I now understand the huge amount of hype around the Taro’s brand. The broth was really thick and tasty, it was so rich it arrived with a sort of ‘skin’ on top of the broth. The noodles were thick and plentiful. But the real stars of the show were the pork and the egg. The pork was so thick and as shown in the picture - massive.
It is my honest and genuine belief that Taro’s night do the best ramen egg in Brisbane. The inside was perfectly cooked, it wasn’t too runny, nor too hard. It was like a jelly texture - delicious !!!!
I will definitely be coming back to Taro’s ramen as the food is exceptional. On a financial note, the prices are a bit more expensive and the bowls are a bit smaller compared to other ramen shops around Brisbane. Despite this, I will happily return. Enjoy 😊
Had lunch af Taro's Ramen, ordered the dry ramen and the special charsiu rice.which was really cheap. The.ramen was good but it was a touch too oily.
Takoyaki … deep-fried octopus may not sound like the best thing to some people, but they obviously never tried it. Soft and chewy, just bursting with flavor. So this… is my favorite from Taros. Yes, Fire is nice… but there is something about this original broth I just really enjoy. It’s thick, flavorful and welcoming… It’s just a nice treat. The noodles had a great bite to them, and the meat is delicious .
You get what you pay for! Taros is a little bit on the pricey side for Ramen but..... its pretty damn good! :D I got the Red Ramen, but next time i will get the Fire Ramen for that extra spice! I got the extra half egg to go along with it! Really nice texture to the noodles, and great flavour to the broth. Has to be one of the better Ramen places around.
Nice place to have a cool down meal like tsukemen if you just arrived in a heat of Brisbane like me!
Service - don’t expect much - it’s like Nandos, walk in, find a seat and order and pay at the counter, condiments available for you to self serve (it would be nice if they kinda let you know when you walk in or have signs to tell you this is “the way” - I was waiting for ages for someone to give me a menu only to observe another lady went up to order)
Food - self hand made noodles were excellent. The broth I had for my cold noodles was also made well, not too salty but tasty enough. Portion comes in 1 or 2 noodles so entirely up to how hungry you are. Mine came with half a hard boiled egg, two pieces of seaweed, two generous pieces of chashu (pork pieces).
Atmosphere - nice place for a lunch session with colleagues, spacious seating and everyone can order their own plus some side dishes to share.
A little on the pricey.
Best ramen ever! I am a ramen fanatic and there is nothing better than a hot bowl of ramen (especially if its from Taro's). I tried the tonkotsu ramen and it was delicious, it was a perfect work lunch. A bit on the expensive side but can't compromise on quality. The noodles were perfectly cooked too! Good work Taro's Ramen keep up the great work you are appreciated by all of Brisbane.
Tonkotsu Ramen broth was creamy and delicious. Gyoza was too burnt. Will return for the ramen. Had the Char Siew rice and green tea ice-cream too.
Long time fan here! Taro’s still remains as my favorite ramen restaurant in Brisbane after all these years! Every order I’ve ever had consistently delivers fresh and quality ingredients, generous portions and no trace of msg without compromising on flavour! As I personally have not tried authentic ramen from Japan, I cannot comment on the authenticity of Taro’s dishes BUT I’m hoping that the ramen in Japan is at least as good as this 😍 Keep it up guys 😋
My name is Cino’s Mum* and I’m addicted to Taro’s ramen. It’s japanese for crack cocaine**.
My fix came in tonkotsu form, resplendent with added black garlic oil. The pork broth was rich, luxurious & silky with a perfect soft boiled egg & firm yet chewy noodles...hello slurpy heaven!
While I cut my teeth on that bad boy, Espresso&Matcha upped the ante with Taro’s once a year truffle ramen: a lavish combo of noodles kneaded with truffle tapenade, truffle oil infused broth & fresh WA black truffle shavings piled on top. Her annual pilgrimage was a roaring success & the exquisite truffley aroma still haunts my dreams. One day I will be worthy sensei.
This junkie’ll be back for another ramen rush real soon.

The ramen is quite nice here. The broth is creamy and full of flavour and noodles cooked well. The only improvements could be the char siu pork is on the tough side as opposed to the “melt in your mouth” like other ramen places and soup of the tonkotsu a little on the salty side. The price is also higher at $17-$19 a bowel. We ordered the tonkotsu and the fire ramen.
Good ramen. Very tasty. Had the fire ramen with extra heat. Sorry your going to still need to add chilli if you like it very hot. Bit on the pricey side but well set out restaurant
I am a regular at this Taro's outlet, and after trying some of Melbourne's best ramen joints this week can say Brisbane is very fortunate to have Taro and his team in our city.
Highly recommend the karaage and red tonkotsu ramen. They also have a great loyalty scheme for regulars which is a bonus!

Was on the look for a restaurant that serves ramen because of cravings :) after asking google best place to have ramen in Brisbane Taro's Ramen is included in the list read the reviews seems like they're serving legit ramen so I decided to have lunch at the place with my cousin. I must say after I had my first sip of the soup made me smile 360° because it taste so AWESOME! (no need for further explanation 😂) They're ramen really made a mark on me.. Where in fact I visited the restaurant twice this week to have again with my cousin. Base from our own experience customer service is good, the place is nice and cozy, ramen is SUPERB!
We just had a problem with chicken karaage that we ordered because its undercooked however the best part is when we let the staff know about our concern she immediately take care of the situation and replaced it (with additional amount of the chicken) so KUDOS to that Taro! Just a suggestion if you can add more flavor to your chicken karaage that would be perfect 😊😊 also be consistent with the thickness of the pork you put in the ramen. Thank you!
Above all Taro's Ramen is worth visiting and will definitely recommend it to people I know. Clap! Clap! 😁
A limited edition, delightfully decadent dish that comes out of Taro’s Ramen Kitchen for only a month or so each year. I first tried it last year, I went back again this year and I will be back again next year!. Taro’s Truffle Ramen is created with not one, but three layers of truffle ingredients!
Great simplistic ramen done well. The broth is delicious and not as salty as some other places we have tried. Always busy around lunch time during the week but food is out quickly. If you are extra hungry get extra noodles!
Last week, my colleague and I had a booking for Otto. Fortunately (or unfortunately), he was struck down by the flu. Unfortunately, we both agreed that it would be a shame for him to eat at Otto whilst sick, so we cancelled the reservation. Fortunately, I convinced him that Ramen was the best cure for a cold. So we opted to go to Taros, which was conveniently situated right downstairs. Arriving just before 12, the restaurant was relatively empty, and we promptly ordered at the counter.
I hadn't been to Taro's since the original store first opened years ago so I was delighted when I found out there was one in the building next to mine. I went for lunch, making sure to get in before the lunch rush and treated myself. On entering I noticed how nice the restaurant was. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and eagerly awaited my order. My ramen came out quickly and was delivered to me by a lovely young waiter. At first, I thought the ramen was a little flavourless but after adding some chilli and mixing it all together, it becomes something rich, flavoursome and delicious. I found it got better as I ate it, I think the more you let it sit, the more the flavours meld together. I've been back and tried their Shoyu ramen which is definitely my favourite! It's lighter but the flavour profile is more complex without being overwhelmingly rich and meaty. Would definitely recommend.
This location is new, I think. Anyway, this is my first time at Taro's. Came on a weekend so it's pretty quiet. This being located at an office building, I'd imagine it will be crowded on weekdays. Lovely and cosy design and atmosphere. Food is a little bit on the high but for a city location, it's ok. I had tonkatku ramen. The soup base is really thick and flavoursome. There is a condiments and kids cutlery table that you can help yourselves to and 2 high chairs for use. So it's pretty kid friendly.
The food is great. The servings are enormous, too much so that it feels pretty wasteful. But there are obviously people that can manage them! Worth a visit for sure.
