If you're into Japanese food, this is the place to be. Nothing fills up a hungry belly than an authentic ramen! Nao gives you choice selection of noodles from the regular white to the more exotic black ink infused. Servings are generous and maybe enough for two. Wait time is less than 10 minutes and the staff are friendly too. Ambience wise its a bit low key with jazz music playing in the background. All in all I highly recommend this place whenever you fancy something Japanese. Will definitely come back. Itadakimasu!
I tried seafood miso ramen and takoyaki and it was sooooo tasty and unforgettable. the broth is really balance, and seafood is fresh, juicy plus nori and bone fish, so perfect and one thing amazed me they manufacture the ramen noodles by themselves in front of the customers. there are some type of ramen noodles and broth u can choose. they provide 2 size for ramen. regular and large. but regular size is already fully enough. the price is reasonable around 14$ for ramen and 9$ for takoyaki (6 pieces). the restaurant itself is small n not too eye catching but u can notice from the outside by the numbers of peoples who queuing to get their table. hahaha
I enjoyed a Saturday lunch at this restaurant. The staff are pleasant enough & the food portions are pretty good. The only issue was no beer or sake. I will be back for a quick, sober meal.
I got the spicy ramen with chicken and it was very nice. Great price for the portion size too. The atmosphere is also cool.
Great large serve of ramen! Friendly service
We came here on a Sunday and we were seated immediately which was amazing because we were absolutely starving.
We ordered a serve of takoyaki & spicy miso noodles with squid ink noodles. We got the one without pork and replaced it with chicken instead
Takoyaki 🐙 10/10
Absolutely BRILLIANT
There is a generous amount of octopus which is rare to find! Best takoyaki I have had in Perth ❤️
Spicy Ramen 🌶
Super generous serving and amazing food in general the flavour was there ! The squid ink noodles was a different concept for me but no regrets at all. The broth was amazing , not as spicy as I thought but still super yummy and will definitely be back for these
Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
AMAZING RAMEN, PERFECT TAKOYAKI & amazing derive and staff
The ramen noodles are authentic and consistent. However, the lady boss can be rude, jumping into conclusion before attending to a service request. She accused us of finishing one of the entrees, then complain to her staff about the cold dish which is meant to be served warm. She did not apologise after clarification. Reluctant to go back after such an offensive encounter.
I came here with a work colleague for lunch. It was very busy, but we were able to secure a table fast. Service was prompt and friendly. Cool ambiance with funky music. Delicious fresh ramen and octopus balls! Yum!
Busy ramen place in the city. Tried the shoyu ramen which was good. Get to select the noodles too. Bit expensive for the bowl however 4 stars for taste. Noodles good texture and broth was full of flavor.
Nice ramen place in the city. Choice of flavoured ramen and different types of broth. Very enjoyable bowl of spicy miso ramen. Springy noodles and tender chasu.
Haven’t been back since the move from the small shop to the one next to Jaws. So many ramen places popping up and this one is still a favourite of mine. Always go for the shoyu with red noods. 10/10
Nao has egg now!! Very exciting. For a long time the only ramen in Perth was Nao but then a few and now a lot of ramen restaurants opened. From the old to the new store Nao didn't used to have egg but I am very happy to have a perfectly boiled egg in my ramen at Nao, although the egg is served cold. The servings at Nao are the perfect size and the simple menu allows for small changes which customises the dishes. The ramen remains to a high standard with balanced and delicious flavours and great ingredients. I like the spinach noodles !
This has always been one of my favourite places to get ramen ever since I was in uni (which was a long time ago). Their portions are incredibly generous but most importantly the flavours and textures are really spot on. I have thoroughly enjoyed every bowl of ramen that Ive had here, and even the side dishes are a hit as well! The dipping noodles I have yet to try but I’m going to guess that they’re also great. Parking is quite easy to find around the area and they have an overflow section now so there’s really no reason not to try this place! In a city with ramen stores popping up everywhere this still remains one of my favourites.
I came to this restaurant by chance. I ordered shio ramen and miso ramen to try. In the meantime, the waiting for ramen with gyoza, which was delicious, was very pleasing to me. The gyoza was a bit hot and smelled of mild spices. I'm not sure if it's the pepper mix or not. The ramen portion is quite tasty. I wish the ramen was a bit more intense because I like the rich flavor. Overall I really like it.
NAO's expanded to the shop lot across from it. Still order like you do (at the current shop), but you might be seated across the arcade, which is quieter and roomier. Great for the weekday lunch rush periods.
Personally, the best spicy ramen in Perth. The broth is slightly on the salty side but it's worth it. Full of flavour and the noodles are different than the rest of the ramen restaurant's has to offer around Perth.
Have always shied away from sushi trains as I am a fussy eater. My friend suggested here for lunch and I'm so glad I said yes, so fresh and delicious. Already been back a second time in 2 weeks :)
Server at the counter was friendly and polite. Ramen is definitely decent, noodles were chewy the way I liked it, and the karaage was the breakout star, well marinated, battered just lightly and not greasy. Lost a star for the greasiness of the broth, and a tad too salty for me. But excellent meal worth a try when in the area.
