Review Sober Ramen - Geelong

Sonia
It was quite excellent food as found the similarity of what I had in Japan. Can tell the restaurant trying to follow right track serving good food, that's probably how the restaurant opend extra/new one in Torquay too. Just, it was quite pricy considering what I had, it's quite small portion.

Really good ramen place in Geelong! Ramen was tasty and spicy (you could choose your preferred level of spicy), but my personal favourite was saikyo scallops which were creamy with excellent umami, would definitely recommend! Just don’t expect too much from the service — after all this is a ramen joint!

We gave the menu a workout today at Sober and were not disappointed. Cocktails were scrummy too!! I'm too full and tipsy to write much more, I'll let the photos do the talking...

The ramen has always been great, never disappoints. The spicy calamari was amazing. The place is a bit small and gets packed when busy but the service has always been good.

ramen is always soothing to have during a rainy cold night 🍜, the setting gives off a Japanese vibe, mostly bar seatings. staffs were welcoming, flavourful broth and had a touch of fusion to it for me. the char siu was a little different but still moist and the fried chickens were succulent. park was a little tricky during busy hours, could consider parking a bit further away and take a few mins walk. its situated in a little street full of restaurants and bars.

Great lunch at Sober ramen! Delicious traditional ramen as well as the dry ramen plate. The kingfish entree was also delicious! Friendly staff and reasonable prices!

Great place for hanging out in Geelong, Staff friendly with helpful suggestions! Recommended, the only thing is the crowed space make me feel too close to other people.

Very busy and popular ramen place. The garlic one and spicy (lv1 is mild) are both super tasty. Taste way better than any other ramen store in Melbourne city. Also love beef tataki. Highly recommend!
Phil Graham
What a find! The “best” Beef Tatake we have ever had, even better than the Wife’s. Unbelievable flavours in the Ramen’s, with the spice levels spot on. We will definitely be back, yum, yum, yum!

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! The oyster mushroom karaage is a must-try

We had a lovely experience tonight! We could already tell that the quality of pork used was great when we had the pot stickers (gyoza), and then the tonkotsu came and it was fabulous. We also tried the seafood ramen, which was a revelation! Immensely different from anything I've had before, it had a rich seafood/chicken stock and tasted very much like a Japanese bouillabaise. Thank you for the evening. We'll be back whenever we're in town next time.

We loved our first time at Sober Ramen! We were greeted with by the friendly staff as soon as we entered, and we were very well looked after. The food was amazing and we couldn’t have had a better experience.

So yuuummm! Great friendly service. Absolutely fabulous food. Just the right amount of spice for me in my ramen with pork, potato croquette and salad. Great cocktails and non alcoholic drinks. I think this could be my new addiction �

Had tea here tonight, and it was wonderful! The ramen was spiced perfectly, the flavours just blended so well together! Each bite was just like the first! Definitely coming back here!

I absolutely love this place, great food and service, you can't go wrong. I lay awake at night sometimes thinking about their spicy ramen with pork belly and soft-boiled eggs. Oh man, those eggs...

Got in just before dinner rush. It's small for sure but that's definitely a plus to this place as it really brings out the culture. And that cauliflower, absolutely amazing. Great staff, know their drink pairings well and very friendly. 12/10 will be seeing you again!

I was pleasantly surprised, I'm generally not a huge fan of Japanese flavours but the dumpling ramen that i had was great. I have to say the 5 sake's I washed it down with was fantastic too. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals
Madie Nicholson
We had the fried chicken and dumplings to start with and they were amazing! And then I had the veggie broth ramen and it was amazing so much flavour! And also the matcha latte cocktail is a must! Service was also amazing.

My brother and I visited a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to go back for more! Authentic ramen straight from the streets of Japan with awesome friendly staff.

I LOVED this ramen! if I was to rate this place on the ramen alone it would almost be a 5 - it’s just very tiny and squishy if I’m being picky. I ordered the spicy ramen level one and it was delicious. The broth was amazing - so thick and flavourful. It was topped off with a perfectly cooked egg and well cooked thin noodles + the pork belly was so tender and tasty. Best ramen I’ve ever had!! The staff were also very friendly as well. I look forward to my next visit :)

Bit of a crowded place, however the food was nice. I tried the curry udon and beef tataki. The sauce from the beef was delicious and it made the dish.

Very crowded place and tiny but yummy ramen! I chose spicy one and it’s super duper spicy 😂😂 which I like! But i think I should order something lighter next time! Lol

Had the curry udon and spicy ramen (level 2). <br/>Really good ramen and udon for the area. The spicy ramen is not spicy but very flavoursome. Curry ramen was very delicious <br/>Service was extremely welcoming.

Delicious vegan ramen and fried mushrooms. The staff are really helpful with letting us know what can be made vegan.<br/>Only not giving five stars because the ramen was a bit overpriced.... And could do with some more things in them like more seaweed, some bamboo, some tofu, etc. But it was really yummy anyway.<br/>I would also like to see vegan options clearly marked.

#soberramen Exceptionally rude staff and customer service! Husband and I are in Geelong for the weekend and stopped by the place for a quick bite with our 3 year old kid. Got seated by a staff and prior to even ordering our food, the same staff came over to say “your baby is too noisy, we don’t like it to be noisy”. I, as a mum, offered to leave the restaurant if we are unwelcome and the same staff said “ok”. Didn’t get to try the food but will leave everyone else to decide. P.S: Both Manager and the staff same to apologise after we have went next door for lunch. Much better service next door!

Went to Avalon airport to fetch hubby, then we went to Geelong for brunch. Stopped by this place, decent small place for ramen. Ordered the fried mushroom, quite good with the spicy mayo. We also had the pork broth tonkatsu, feels that the broth is too bland in flavour but at the same time tol oily, dont quite like it 😨

Really awesome, laid back ramen bar. Went there with my partner and partner’s siblings. The crumbed mushrooms were great (like salt n pepper squid for vegetarians), as were the pot prawn n chicken pot stickers & pork dumplings. A little nice range of Japanese beers & single malt whiskey, plus Australian wines. Service was quick and friendly with a cool funky vibe/music in the background. The ramen...man, it was beautiful. Such flavoursome, rich broth and the truffle really set it off👌 Great way to spend a few hours on a cold winters day...great food with great company.

Amazing Ramen! Soooooo much flavour and not watery and plain at all! I’m from Melbourne and have tried a lot of Ramen but this is my favourite Ramen place so far! Try the calamari on the specials it is crispy, spicy and delicious and I always order the pork Ramen with a rich broth.
Paul Clark
Brilliant food. There isn’t a meal here that isn’t fantastic. <br/>Has to be one of the best in Geelong. No doubt about it. <br/>Service is fantastic. The staff are always happy to help at every turn.

Ramen bursting with flavours, dumplings are soft and juicy, crispy chicken crunches and flavour bursts in your mouth. This is one of our favourite ramen joints around. Sometimes you need to wait for a seat as the restaurant is quite small but it is definitely worth a visit. Matcha cocktails are amazing.

Went here on the recommendation of a colleague, and it was fantastic. I had the spicy ramen with a beautiful piece of char-grilled pork in spicy pork broth and refreshing lemon iced tea. I went with the medium level of spice which was about as hot as I'd want it to be. I was told afterwards it can go 3 levels higher than that if you're feeling adventurous. Service was friendly and the staff took time to explain the menu to me. The prices are a little higher than some other ramen eateries but the quality was worth it. I'll be back to try more things off the menu! It is a small venue so not good for big groups.
