I started eating Yoku Ono ramen via deliveroo and got totally hooked. Having now eaten there in person I can't rate it highly enough. Gorgeous food, great vibes, lovely staff. Plus the best Vego ramen in the neighbourhood ��

Best find around our house yet.... Food was as good as any well rated restaurant we've eaten in across the globe, and the staff were lovely. Super friendly and always going above and beyond. Our new weekly local restaurant with or without the kids. Well done guys, great place and space, and best of all fabulous modern Asian cuisine

YOKU OH YES! What a spot, the food is ridiculously good, finally something different than just another very spicy Asian fusion. Fully immersed into this small convivial and warm place, where you can find plenty of top quality sakes, good wines, cocktails, Japanese tapas to share and oh my god ramen that you better not... Definitely recommend to book because same for everyone they've got the ramen you crave. A great service operated by an international team at the front whilst the Japanese kitchen team rocks at the back of the house. Everything but arrogant it's an harmonious treasure off chapel st and in Prahran !

Our first time at a Ramen restaurant, we came across Yoku Ono by accident while looking for a pizza place which turned out to be closed. We ordered kingfish and salmon sashimis, and Yoku Ono ramen, one with chicken and one with pork belly. Food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff were all friendly and helpful, especially with choosing which sake to drink. We'll definitely be eating here again next time we visit Melbourne �

Awesome Japanese restaurant in Prahran. It is in one of the side roads from Chapel Street and easy to miss. Food was really good and the service was quick. Really loved the Yuko Ono Chicken Ramen - one of the best I have ever had.

Absolutely love Yoko Ono! It’s a small cosy shop with cool retro decor. They are famous for their ramen - our favourites are the Yoko Ono and Tan Tan ramens - very tasty and hits the spot.

Unpretentious place stashed away in a dark alley with friendly staff and excellent food, esp. the Tantanmen ramen that teleports you to Japan for a brief instant. I'll go again, and often.

This place tucks in the little quiet lane and you have to find harder to spot it but I am glad I found it. The service is a bit layback but friendly and thoughtful. However the highlight is the food - nothing to fault from presentation to taste. The ramen broth is made of chicken instead of pork bone. So it is lighter but still very flavoursome. Personal favourite is the octopus karage. However everything I ordered taste delicious.

A friend of mine who has lived in Japan said this is the best ramen he’s had outside of Japan. Enough said. But this needs to be 140 characters long; the gyozas are also to-die-for.

I keep coming back to Yoku Ono for their amazing ramen! I’ve tried their normal ramen and the spicy miso ramen with chicken and they were both so rich and full of flavour and super hearty specially in a cold winter night!
If you’re feeling hungry, the baos are also delicious!
Love the food, the vibe and the service! Would highly recommend.

Went with a mate of mine, ordered the miso ramen with pork belly and yoko ono ramen with extra noodles, chicken and egg and side of pork gyozas, the ramen noodles were al dente, the pork belly was melt in the mouth, the broth was delish however could have added a tad more miso flavoring, the gyozas were nice, delicious filling, the gyoza could have been a bit more crispy but overall pretty happy, service was excellent.

I LOVE this place. I've been 3 times now and need to go again. You must get their ginger beer, it's incredible. I get the vegan ramen every time and am always happy. Filling, fresh, delicious. My boyfriend has tried all of their other ramens and loves them too. I love sitting on the top level and looking around.

Came here on a Friday night to eat some ramen. Ambience is perfect. Cosy and intimate. We had the Tan Tan Ramen (very little spiciness) and the Yoku Ono Ramen with Pork Belly. Both ramen were flavoursome and have rich broth but as you go along with it, it tends to be on the salty side. Pork belly is gorgeous - very tender. We also had the pork gyoza, not sure what came with it, some peanut maybe? I didn't understand it. Average gyoza for me. Reservations recommended.

Wow I absolutely loved this place and luckily friends took us here cause I didn’t even know this place existed. Located down a laneway off chapel , this cool trendy place is a hidden gem. Staff here are fantastic , friendly and make you feel so welcome. I loved the fit out and the open two level space makes you never want to leave. The food here was great although I didn’t get a chance to try the Ramen (will come back for that). Mixed asian tapas were delicious and had the pork gyozas , fried chicken , prawn and mango tempura , fried chicken boa and edamame. Definitely worth putting this place on your list to try.

Absolutely delicious food. Best ramen I’ve had since I had Japanese in Japan, and I could have totally been there with the cool decor and vibe of this little place down a side street off Chapel St. Loved every mouthful of the kingfish and the agedashi tofu too. Just divine. Great selection of sake and great advice re choosing. I will def be back.

The interior gives me feeling in Japan. Table were organised very well.

I personally prefer strong soup made with Pork born(like the white and thick one) and this shop is making chicken stock I imagine(maybe not) so that it was pretty light for me. Noodle was wider than the other ramen noodle, can feel that it's definitely made by scratch but again I prefer the normal one which is similar to the egg noodle.
You know, everyone has got different preferences and I would say the ramen was 3.5 for me.

Little Japanese Ramen Sake bar hiding in the central of Chapel Street. Ordered chicken ramen, Wagyu Stamina Bowl and matcha cheesecake for dessert. Ramen is delicious, broth is rich, smooth and perfectly cooked chicken. Wagyu bowl is average, Wagyu is quite chewy, onion is very hard to eat, felt left in the kitchen for a long time. Matcha cheesecake is not bad. We will go back to try others.

Turned up at about 5:30pm on a Sunday with a friend and were asked if we'd made a booking. I was pretty surprised and said no, and we were shown to a lovely table upstairs that looked over the whole downstairs floor. We'd been there about 10 minutes and I understood why reservations were taken here: before it even hit 6pm the place was packed out. The decor is absolutely beautiful, with Japanese trinkets adorning walls to create a space unlike any other I've seen in Melbourne. The service was so charming and efficient, and the food... that food! An absolute dream. I just returned from two weeks in Japan last month, and the ramen was just as amazing here as it is in Tokyo, albeit twice the price. The tan tan ramen was divine; just the right amount of spice and with delicious pork on top (and free range to boot). My friend said his miso was the best he'd had in Melbourne. This place is quirky, unique and has exquisite food befitting the divine decor. 12/10 would come back again.

I had the Yoku Ono ramen with pork - the flavour of the broth was very good but it was over salted. The pieces of pork were very delicious and the noodles good.
I found the ambience slightly grungy, could be improved by cleaning windows and a going over with spray & wipe.

Fully booked on a Wednesday... must be good! Eventually they got us a table on the balcony facing back into the restaurant which was really nice for a couple.

The service was really quite good. Very fast to come but not intrusive. 

The kingfish sashimi was really interesting - the presentation was excellent but perhaps the portions was just a little too big for one bite.

The ramen was really tasty - both the spicy miso and the tan tan. The noodles had a really good texture, and we had both ordered extra vegies which came on the side. If you are hungry then an extra serve of greeny goodness (which came with half an egg) was very good value and I polished off the broth.

A little the pricey side - 2 beers, a entree and two ramen was $83. You could easily not have the entree and still be full.

Edit

Went back again. Two ramens one with extra meat and extra veggies to share is the perfect amount!

Ordered the vegetarian ramen and some sake.
The ramen was delicious! Super hot and flavoursome. You could definitely tell a number of vegetables and spices were used and somehow taste each of them.
Loved the mushrooms and noodles within the soup, only addition I would've liked was some tofu.
Also, the stock was quite salty, even though I wanted to finish, I left the last few spoonfuls knowing I would be quite thirsty later (which I was).
Would definitely come back!

Tucked away in an alleyway off Chapel St (as some good eateries do in Melbourne), the chilled Vibe of Yoku Ono belies some seriously good ramen. Spicy miso ramen with pork presents with firm flat noodles that clings well to the intensely rich broth for some slurp-tastic goodness. The spice is only mild (relatively speaking) that still allows the smooth, smoky flavours of the broth to come through. With melt in mouth pork slices, soft half egg, bamboo, shallots, fungus and nori, makes for a delightfully fulfilling dish. Yum! Came here for lunch, but extended menu seems delightful for dinner and drinks too. Hip, "Tokyo den" style dining, attentive staff and seriously tasty ramen. Standout Japanese food in Prahran.

Things I loved: wait staff were attentive, informative and keen to help. Every question or query on the menu was accompanied by a detailed description and recommendation, which we appreciated. Went with their selection of sake to share.
Whats popular: Tan Tan Ramen (mince pork and peanut based broth - rich and hearty for those with an appetite). 
Also had the kingfish Sashimi Carpaccio which was yum, fresh oyster with grated daikon and yuzu ponzu and hearty agadashi tofu. 
Enjoyed this little treat in Prahran, I'm sure they'll continue to do well :)

Located in an alley, we were not sure how it would be. As soon as we entered, it was so full and happening! Ordered the famous Miso ramen and Tan Tan ramen and it was delicious.
Although the Miso ramen was a bit extra salty but I could enjoy it if I avoid the soup ☺. Ended our dinner with the matcha cheesecake. A smaller size but tasty !

I enjoyed the ramen here. The Tan Tan Sesame ramen is definitely the best flavour. Unlike some ramen places Yoku Ono provide a generous amount of mince in the Tan Tan ramen. The only thing I will say is that the noodles they use are different from noodles usually used in a ramen. Kinda weird but still works! I would just like the ramen to be spicier. Plus it would be nice if their sake menu listed what types of sake they are - for example if they are sweet or dry ect so it makes it easier to choose a sake.

Ramen is totally have a moment in Melbourne right now, and the ramen from Yoku Ono as well as just about everything else on their menu is top notch. Can't talk up their sashimi enough and the dumplings should be on everyone's list to try. Get in there if you're a big fan of Japanese food!

And something need to improved and take attention about " pork belly " might the way to clean pork smell need to improved spoil the tasty of whole ramen soup. Lastly enjoying the lunch and price reasonable . Will

Unpretentious. Understated. Elegant. Yet oh so authentic and close to a real Japanese izakaya experience as you can get. From the the hidden and small signage outside, the over the top decor, the whiff of miso and stock as you walk it (it does stick on your clothes) to the improper grammar on the menu "live and breath Japan" (I see what you did there), Yoku does the ramen experience justice. Although Yoku serves five kinds of ramen with the base being only either chicken or veg stock, they executed it really well. Mine was tasty and balanced, with the noodle having a nice bite. My karaage, surprisingly lathered in some sort of mildly spicy kimchi sauce was delightful. The edamame was slightly disappointing where it wasn't served warm. Amazing selection of sake was also a plus. Shall come back to try their sushi game, but at first visit this was a welcoming surprise.

Tried their passionfruit cider, which was delicious, not too sweet, but also nice and tart. We decided to try the tuna sashimi to being with, and it was beautifully fresh, with the perfect amount of wasabi on it. I decided to have their yoku Ono ramen with pork belly, considering that they use a chicken broth it was very good, it still had that smokey and deep creamy flavour. The pork belly falls apart in your mouth, and the flavoured egg was soo good.

Great find. Ramen is good but no Gensuke. It's generous and creamy. The bento is not in a box. Wow factor upon the plate. The karaage was a bit too salty and sweet.

We ordered a Hot Saki & plum wine.(umeshu) which arrived very promptly. Following this Lana took our requests. We shared a Spicy miso Ramen. Tuna Sashimi, Gyoza & swordfish bao.

Quite good food, great atmosphere, below average service.

I had the minced pork chili ramen with extra vegetables which was delicious. My friends had the chicken which was not quite as good. I think you really do want the extra veg for a bit of variety in the bowel.
Undersalted edamame, really good fried chicken.

We were a group of 8 who all got ramen, and some of our meals came out more than 15min before everyone else's. This timing issue is a basic thing for restaurants to get right, especially considering the easy to bulk nature of the dish. In time they'll iron out the service kinks and I think it'll end up a great place to eat. They did make up for it with extra sake!

We had dinner here for Valentine's Day and had a lovely night. The decor and music was perfect - warm, inviting and unpretentious. The Ramen was delicious! Beautifully presented and filling. They only lost a star because the service was a little slow and it was a teeny tiny bit expensive but all of the wait staff were friendly and cute so that made up for it. Thanks guys for a nice evening!

Note - came back and they blew it out of the park so I bumped it up to 5 stars

Fancy my surprise walking down chapel street enjoying the fast pace night life of Melbourne to find such a fantastic place to eat. A hidden gem down a side street illuminated by a single lit up sign intrigued me. I was greeted by a very friendly staff member, her charisma and humour made us all feel comfortable and at home. She looked after us for the night. This Japanese inspired restaurant has a drinks menu unlike many Iv seen before with a large range of sake and cocktails ready to order I highly recommend the Clockwork Orange Which tastes amazing and includes some exiting theatre ( which I won't ruin) believe it or not stimulated the other senses in my opinion which is a nice change. Now the food, OH THE FOOD how I really enjoyed the food. What restaurant is complete without a killer menu. I don't think there was one person in my company who had any issues with the food we all found it delicious. The Raman was packed full of bold and exiting favours and the the Osozai with the perfectly matched sake was to die for. The menu will please all from people with more of a basic palate to others who are seasoned in Japanese flavours and everyone else in between!!! The price was very reasonable for what you receive. Overall I was very exited to find a new restaurant I hadn't tried yet in my area as I thought I had tried it all worth eating. Yoku Ono is defiantly one to try two thumbs up from me I will defiantly be going there again in the near future.

Very attentive and friendly staff and management. Nice ambiance. The ramen is great and we really enjoyed the mushroom tofu appetizer. The food took longer than expected and their hours are a bit odd, but everything else about the place is great!

Beautiful tasting ramen, the broth is very Japanese tasting. Thick, flavoursome, lingering taste the only downfall is it leaves you wanting more. The venue is friendly, very similar to a trendy ramen bar in Japan. The beer list is good, suntori on tap, will be great in summer! Service is friendly and warm. The menu not that vast but makes up with quality!

Some of the best ramen that Melbourne has to offer. Perfect size, broth is light and clean and taste is exceptional! If this was located in the CBD or Brunswick street, there would be lines of people waiting to order.

Five of us went to Yoku Ono last night ranging from 30 to 70 years old...we were all blown away by the freshness, presentation and taste of everything which came out of the kitchen.. great place to go with friends as emphasis is on shared Japanese styled tapas.
