Food is pretty good for being a convenient place to eat while visiting Chadstone, I wouldn’t come expecting any better and you’ll leave happy
It was our first time eating here since we just arrived and starving after a long road from Avalon to Hughesdale, we decided to eat at the biggest mall here (Chatstone). At first I was tempted by the Wagyu Ramen’s advertisement displayed in front of the entrance door, then we decided to try it out, Yokozuna!Ramen. I ordered Wagyu Ramen (they cooked the wagyu meat with torch in front of you and asked do you want it to be rare, medium rare or well) surprisingly it’s good. The stock was good, the meat was tender and nice. I like it! My husband ordered Curry Omu Rice with Chicken Katsu, it was good too! But he said the portion was pretty small for him :p
Oh we also tried their Hojicha Latte with Green tea ice cream. It nice!
Worth to try! :)
Decent ramen store in Chadstone shopping center with lots of affordable options. The ramen noodles had an okay texture and the broth is rich and creamy. The tempura and soft shell crab is great here, high recommend. The matcha latte and soft serve is a must try here, not too bitter and more on the sweet end with no overpowering matcha taste left in your mouth. The inside area has no air ventilation so its hard to sit for a long time further in the restaurant. Staff are attentive and quick on their feet. Overall this Is a decent place to get ramen and match ice cream in Chadstone and would come again for a casual dining experience.
Best teriyaki chicken in Melbourne! If you order anything here get this, you won't regret it.. Everything else is good enough for a casual meal but not great.
Still my favourite place for obentos, the soft shell crap tempura is just amazing. Sushi are fresh and the eel was cooked perfectly well! Highly recommend it!
Affordable bento boxes that come with a mini ramen for about $15 (5ish components). A great place for lunch or dinner before, after or during a shopping session at one of Australia’s best shopping centres.
The Ramen is to delicious here. Great Broth, great vibes and great noodles. It can get very busy but it is worth the wait. The deserts there are also pretty good
Yokozuna has a great atmosphere, staff are friendly and efficient and meals are served promptly, even though they are always busy and there is always a line to get in , you are never left waiting long to receive your meals. The food is great quality and the ramen is delicious. The Matcha Latte with the Matcha Softee topping is my favourite.
Came here for dinner, we weren’t too hungry so ordered teriyaki ramen and a side of chicken karaage .
Service nice and quick.
Food was yummy.
Lovely ambience.
Happy to come again!
Food is delicious and affordable. Although serving time is quite long on the weekends, customer service is quite good. Would recommend for anyone who’s looking for good ramen in the south east 😊
I’ve had the spicy ramen as well as the karaage bento and they ramen was really good. It had a southeast noodle soup sort of taste and the bento has 3 cute compartments the rice was a little inconvenient and I didn’t like the bento as much as I did with the ramen. The interior is really good and their green tea soft serve is soooo tasty. Overall I would come again !

💡 TIP - the bento boxes are massive! So if you have an appetite, tuck into one of those! 🍱 ALSO their ICE CREAM is 🔥🍦
Food tastes good! But would be great if have more entree size dishes. Service good, environment good, happy to go there again next time shopping at chadstone.
A great place for sushi and smoothies. I highly recommend this place. Not very expensive as well. We tried a sushi platter ( salmon roll ) and it was outstanding ❤️

I was not actually expecting a great tasting ramen because of the reviews. Plus the rating is not bad but not high enough. The ambience was fine and the service was okay. We waited for our food within a reasonable amount of time. When my order was served and I started eating, I was like ‘WTH, it’s sooo good 😭’. It was the most flavourful ramen I’ve tasted so far in VIC, simply the best for me. I don’t know with the other things on the menu though, but I’m giving my 5 star rating for that ramen because it satisfied my picky palate so well, I can never ask for more. I ordered the chicken karaage tonkotsu ramen and the size was enough to make me full. I loved it and I will definitely be coming back for more.
Been here a couple of times just for the Yokozuna Kaisen Bento. Absolutely one of my favourite bentos! Suits my taste well.
Generally consists of a few pieces each of salmon sushi, nigiri and sashimi, a mini bowl of udon, and an assortment of tempura - soft shell crab, imitation crab, prawn, fish, beans etc.
The bento used to have more soft shell crab tempura, rather than the mixed tempura variety they serve now... Too bad they changed it, definitely better before. Still enjoying it, though not as much as before. Would give 4.5 stars, but since I don't know how I'll just round it up.
Very friendly staff, good ambiance, great taste varieties of ramen noodles starters and much more, fast pace work environment one of the place where someone want to try new.
Visit the place in chadstone and CBD
My go-to-place when craving for Ramen. Friendly staff and consistent quality ramen, prices are decent, this is the best place if you are looking for casual eat while shopping.
LIT!: I’ve been here a couple of times. The pork broth based ramen is very flavourful and their ramen is always enjoyable (provided I’m not comparing to ippudo or gensuke). I love how they give you two big seaweed pieces and sizing is perfect. Don’t forget to order the matcha shake with green tea ice cream. It never does wrong.
NOT SO LIT: the chicken broth. Choose porkkkk broth.
Thanks for having us! X
Love their vegie ramen spicy, broth was so deliciously made with miso and corn seaweed, veggies sweetness and great portion. One of the better veg option without a bland bite
Best Ramen I’ve ever had! We ate here so many times and always be happy ! Fast service, good foods, price is fair enough! Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ordered truffle ramen, chicken tonkatsu curry rice, takoyaki and matcha latte (with green tea ice cream and cream). The truffle in the truffle ramen gave a unique flavour into the simple broth. The spoon makes it quite challenging to eat the ramen. Curry rice was alright, just another curry rice. Too much rice, only if they have options of having lesser rice/more rice options like Cocoichibanya. Takoyaki only had small piece of tako inside, kind of expected. The matcha latte was a ‘must try’ if you love matcha and drinks those from Starbucks. It taste so good. I got the one with matcha soft serve on top and it was heavenly.
Absolutely delicious ramen love the karaage chicken, and lovely and friendly service. Only gripe is plastic cups! Not very environmentally friendly
tasty ramen , try ramen no.10 that is my fave’. a staff told me this one is the most popular one for chicken soup ramen ! Ramen is the best answer for the winter time :)
We ordered tonkatsu ramen (the normal soup base and the red soup base). Mine (red base) tasted a little bit too salty for my taste but other than there is no other complaint. Quite delicious actually.
Stopped by for a quick meal after shopping. Quick to be seated despite a queue. Had the tonkatsu red ramen which was delicious and satisfying.
This is my favourite place at chadstone, I’m so surprised they rated so low on here. It’s always quick to get a seat and food, and it’s very cheap for the amount of food you get
Great dry karaage ramen with delightful sauce, and the black sesame ramen is great too. Quite a bit of a wait to get in though, and staff aren't always very friendly.
Came here to have lunch before going for a shop! The soft she'll crab sauce ramen was alright although there was an overload of Mayo on top of everything 😥 it was a bit much it got sickening. The ebi tempura udon was good and very filling which was nice 😊 overall the experience was quite pleasant, service was good I'd go back.
Being improved!!!
I was there few times, not because the food just because their location,
But this time I can see they are different!!
Fresh sushi, Ramen soup taste good, we really enjoyed our lunch!! Highly recommend!!
Busy when we got there , staff were friendly and efficient. Served us immediately
Ordered matcha tea with green tea ice cream . Never had anything like that so personally I really like it.
My sister ordered the truffle ramen which she also really enjoyed it. Unique taste.
And had the Katsu chicken curry which I thought it’s alright. I had better curry but it’s alright :) everyone have different taste
We've been here several times, there is normally a queue outside. On this particular occasion i ordered their special, the truffle ramen. The broth was rich which I did enjoy, far more noodles than toppings though. Just two slices of meat, half a boiled egg and some bamboo shoots. For nearly $19, I was expecting a bit better. The pork steamed dumplings seemed freshly made and chicken curry was standard. Service here is very so-so, sometimes taking a while to get to you especially when it gets busy.
I've always wanted to try this place and happen to get a table quite quickly. This place is no frills and service surprising wasn't too bad. I ordered the karage chicken udon... and it totally hit the spot! Flavours of umami, chicken was delish. And if you're not yet full, definitely have the green tea soft serve in the green tea cone! Absolutely delish food, nothing fancy just lots of flavour!
Ordered black sesame noodle and tonkotsu ramen white. Both are quite delicious actually however the topping are very little and they just put way way way too much MSG in the cooking.
I had Tonkotsu Ramen Red here after hektic end of year exam😢. Although Japanese outlet food in Melbourne would never beat real Japanese ramen in Japan, Yokozuna ramen did make me feel closer to happiness with each sip. Personally I love fresh bean sprouts in my ramen and the spicy chilli taste that just tingles your lips. Green tea ice cream tastes 100% green tea and it's definitely something to try on a bad day😇
Had the Yokuzuna Kaisen Bento with soft shell crab and salmon sashimi for $18.90. Nice and fast service if you go early. Not too sure about its Matcha series ice cream but will try another time.
I'm not so sure with the ramen but overall they were average. I was passing by in Chadstone and found the matcha drink with good price so I decide to give it a chance trying the food here too. This place seems to be always busy though.
It's always busy. That has to be a good sign right? I like this place. Worked close by. Ramen is tasty. Nice selection
Does it compare to ramen in Japan? Probably not. But I'm comparing it to ramen available in Melbourne. And I've travelled far and wide for this yummy soup
In comparison then, it's up there as one of the tastiest. Dry ramen was delicious too
Haven't tried much else. It's the ramen I like so come here for a fix
My all time favorite venue whenever I am craving for ramen.
Pros: wide range of choices, tasty food, affordable price and friendly staff. They also have decent matcha drinks and ice creams.
Cons: extremely packed during lunch/ dinner time, so you have to get line quite long. Also, the ramen broth is sometimes salty and not hot enough.
My daughter love all the food here so much, so yummy. I love the soft serve here every single times if we went to Chadestone this s always where we had lunch
This is my favourite Japanese Restaurant in Melbourne! My favourite set is the Teriyaki Salmon Bentō which is well cooked and easy to chew. I also love the salad that comes with the Bentō. It tastes fresh and the sauce goes well with the meal. I don't usually eat the ramen but when I do, I go for the dry ones. The dry ramen is a bit spicy but not to the point where I start crying. It's quite tasty. P.S It's usually busy during lunch hours so I recommend going a bit earlier. Wow, this feels bias but it's my honest opinion :-)!
I ordered the salmon bento box, and it was really worth it for the price. Came with salmon sushi, salmon slices, a salmon salad, a small bowl of udon and miso. My friend had the noodles with fried chicken, and the chicken was not crispy and it was dry. Overall, a good experience.
The vegetarian ramen that I've tried here is probably one of the best vegetarian ramen a I've tasted. The broth is so rich and full of flavour and the soy makes it creamy and bold. The service is quick and friendly. Be prepared to wait in line during busy periods. We had tried the agedashi tofu, karaage and takoyaki, nothing to write home about however they were at reasonable prices. All in all not a bad ramen place situated in a shopping centre.
Their ramen... somewhat a meh. Nothing special, but it does attract a crowd every time I visit. Their matcha however, is a different story. Good balance of bitter sweetness; and the soft serve is a smooth consistency.
Food wise is 5/5 but service could definitely be improved. We stood there for a good 10 minutes while the servers were walking pass us and collecting money at the cashier 😅 Doesn’t felt very nice to be walked pass like this as we were invisible. Shop itself wasn’t crowded to begin with. However, the time for them to serve our food was quick so I guess that’s good!
Nice quality Japanese food with a great range of options that are hard to find anywhere else. Bustling atmosphere but for good reason — it’s a popular spot to get a Japanese food fix! Love their Matcha soft serve especially. Ramen is delicious.
We ordered the tonkotsu ramen and tempura mix. The broth was thick and creamy with 2 pretty decent size pork slices.
Tempura was amazing (better eat it while it's still hot).
I will definitely pay a second visit.
Great location and ambience. Food was pretty good too. Enjoyed the ramen 🍜 and other food items.
Quick service and fast moving crowd. Try out their ice cream shakes with green tea or vanilla softee 🍦
The spicy ramen had a good kick to it with the rich and clean broth, the toppings were a great flavour enhancer to the dish. The red chicken karaage had crispy chicken, nicely mild. Good soup 👍 and a nice restaurant.
We like ramen. Period. We enjoy Yokozuna especially the dry ramen. Portion is generous and very tasty. You have to try the spicy ramen, so good. If you are not in the mood of eating ramen, get the bento box. Tasty!!! If you do not know what to eat while visiting Chadstone, go to this place.
I went back to the restaurant and had matcha afogato. It was absolutely delicious and generous serving, and the staff who served me was very friendly.
The following review was written some weeks ago.
I had ramen there a few times, and it's all right. Today, I had just sweets. One of the wait staff was far from friendly - no greeting, robotic, taking money, giving me the change, pointing at food with no words meaning my food was ready so I had to take it to my table by myself. No problems to pick up my food, but it would have been nice if she said thank you. I don't think the shop needs any floor staff.
