Best ramen in Australia so far. Been everywhere trying ramen. Good portion with tasty broth and different grade of noodles. Great selection of noodle dishes as well. Very friendly service. Free tea as well. Partner been 5 years ago and highly recommend it and I totally agree. Clean and well maintained. Great price too. Highly recommended!!!

This was an awesome discovery. We’re on holiday and felt like Ramen on our last night here in Cairns. We trusted the reviews but the place exceeded our expectations. The ramen was fantastic very flavourful broth. I’ve lived in Japan for a couple of years and they got a lot of the small things right. Japanese style greeting and very polite staff. There was a 20 min wait but it was well worth the tasty food and friendly service.

Very decent ramen place. We visited this place two times during our visit to Cairns. Staff are super friendly and always ask what our preference is to noodle firmness. We tried four bowls in total (Ikemen, Sunrise, Musashi, Zorome). Our favourite was Ikemen. In general, soup is tasty, not too oily and on the lighter side compared to other ramen places. Gyoza is absolutely brilliant - light, juicy and crispy.

Discovered this little gem on our last day of Cairns. What a lovely surprise! It was one of the best ramen we've tasted outside of Japan. It was extremely authentic and I loved the broth and noodles. It was very hearty and flavoursome. They catered us so well, the first restraunt that actually asked us how hard we wanted our noodles. The chefs and waiter/waitresses were so friendly! Would definitely go here again if we weren't leaving so soon. Thank you.

Delicious ramen and gyoza, super fast and friendly service. The restaurant is family friendly and perfect for a quick, healthy and yum lunch or dinner. Prices are great, serving are generous, noodles are cooked to order (hard, medium or soft) and you can order additional noddles to add to your broth if your still a little perish.

Maybe the expectation was too high, the Google rating was high, so not what I was expecting. Soup base too much over oily, compare to other Tonkotsu ramen, the thing that kill my rating the most is the ramen itself, it was very tooth sticky. The Gyuza was using a cheap brand. I think the ramen that’s close by, is much more high rating and taste.

Food, atmosphere, and service was amazing. Their ramen is of the Kyushu tonkotsu kind, however it is a very light version which I found in very few places in Japan. The light broth is amazing for Cairns weather! Healthy and leaving you light after stuffing yourself with noodles. The cold noodles is a must try (especially the Co-Ching) amazingly balanced vinegar and salty taste with a hint of spice to keep it interesting. So refreshing after a long humid day in Cairns! We are from melbourne and will be coming back again! So refreshing compared to the heavier tonkotsu broths that the world is accustomed to.

For sure the best ramen joint in Cairns! Where do I even start? The place smells amazing when you walk in, first of all. The staff here are all super friendly and they keep checking up on you to see how you’re going or if they can help with anything. The service is super fast. I like the open kitchen too! Would love to try all their ramens as I loved mine, especially the broth. You can also choose the texture of your noodles (soft, medium, hard), which is cool. The free tea with ice on the table is a nice addition especially when it’s hot. I love this place :)

This place is awesome. My family and I stopped in for a bite and walked out full happy and content. The women who work here are so nice and friendly. The woman who took my wife's order double checked with her as my wife ordered a spicy dish and does not like spicy. That saved the lunch. The bowls the broth and the noodles were so flavorful. You can even get a second portion of noodles for 1.50. It's not the fanciest decor but is very cozy. F you like noodles you would be hard pressed to find a better place at a better price.
